Hi all I currently have a Honda Civic 2017 (a regular one) but I always wanted a Type R. Looking at used cars market in my country, they are a bit out of my reach at the moment :D Could you recommend any other Japanese cars, that could scratch that itch but not destroy my wallet? Have to be family friendly too as I expect kids :D Cheers

I missed this when you posted but will jump in now.

The best price/performance bet is the car you already own. I would suggest upgrading the wheels/tires first. Remember a regular Civic is designed to haul people/stuff in a relatively comfortable way. The stock tire sizes are selected with this in mind. Performance tires with different size/width ratios will perform better at the expense of comfort. After that you can think about different springs/shocks/roll bars.

Engine upgrades depend on what engine your car came with. As @SonicDiarrhea@lemmy.world said the turbo provides more options for upgrades.
