You also have the advantage of the K20 being pretty much bulletproof, a fantastic transmission, limited slip (really livens up a FWD car) and decent utility. I just think it is one of those cars where people either didn't give a chance because they didn't like the styling, or they didn't give it a chance because they thought it was a "torqueless" Honda. I have 85,000 miles on mine (and you know I am not afraid to DRIVE it) and haven't really had any issues other than the sun visors, which are covered until 100K miles.
They probably aren't too hard to find a non-clapped out one yet either. I don't think I will ever sell mine. It is the last of the real high-revving Hondas and they really are gems. Quirky looking, but gems.
