That and how damn good chassis are now. Dave and I were talking about this on Friday afternoon... Also how good OEM suspension is on cars now.
18k + freight and pdi in 20 year old dollars for 130hp... Around 2002-2005, power really started to go up (if we don't consider the cool 90s jdm we didn't get here) and prices went up slower than inflation until recently. We don't live in a bad era, as long as some manual cars are available. I miss throttle cables though.https://youtu.be/T0oXZm2iOzg

Actually no. Cars were terrible back then
Not really the Prince Engine is more of a Peugeot/ BMW bastard child. The original Tritec engine is more Chrysler/Rover. Lots of Chrysler bits are interchangeable with the 2.0 and 2.4LJ'ai eu une Dodge Neon EX entre 2002 et 2010. En 2009, j'ai acheté ma MINI Cooper S (et je l'ai encore). J'ai l'évolution du moteur de la Dodge Neon dans ma MINI. Ça voudrait dire que je n'ai jamais quitté les années 90?
Sinon, ma contribution au thread. Perso, je préfère 1997-99 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST Spyder.

Car and driver just did a test on a 1999 Honda Prelude with less then a 1000 miles on the clock to see if it was still as good then back than....

The Prince Engine tho.. It's not horrible but damn those timing chains, carbon build up, turbos. Easy to work on and not overly complex
OkJ'ai le Tritec. J'ai un 1st gen MINI Cooper S (2005). Ça va faire bientôt 15ans qu'elle est mise en service. J'aurais p-e du le spécifier. J'achète jamais de chars neufs, juste du used.
Im the guy driving! Lol
