Default opinions on focus svt or mod civic?

im in a delimma, i am soon going to either turbo my d series engine or use the money for a down payment on a newer car such as a focus svt, ion redline, or srt4. the only problem i have with modding my civic is the high mileage and reliability and maintanance it will require for the mods.

swap in a low mileage b18c and keep the civic but whatever you do, do not get a focus svt

personal opinion is that they are fugly and slow. just go with the b18c1 and dog an svt focus for cheaper and be more reliable.

SRT4 isnt a bad idea, but wait.......because i hear the new ones are going to pwn the older ones. Then again a few grand on a GSR motor will give you a decently quick car and much less money spent, meaning you get it paid off faster and still have a reliable good car thats got some pep to it.

SVT Focus's aren't that fast, I had one trying to keep up with me getting on the highway the other day, no chance, and my car isn't that fast
