Absolutely adore this car! I recently bought a 91 Civic Si (insert flame here) that I'm hoping to restore and then keep upgrading over the years. One day I might have something half as good as this car. Well done to Alphaholics, and thank you for the stunning video Chris Harris and film crew!

It depends on where he is. If it's a JDM car, it's an EG, if not it's certainly an EF. Civics from this era were released a year before in Japan.

90's cars of almost any segment have a lot of personality. A lot of them are unfortunately modified to the point of being undrivable or just for show. There's an undeserved "hatred" for the 90's Hondas on some parts of the world due to that. Those cars have an already proven potential on the chassis and engine for a very fun car if it's done right, even on a budget. I have a '95 EG6 that I plan to take care of and modify. Not everyone has the possibility of doing a swap for several reasons, but the EF deserves a B16! Good luck with your build!

They had similar engine/power available and both handled superbly for that time. I was able to make several fast (110-115 mph) trips in both the 2002 & the SAAB and the handling was excellent in each of them. Holding high average speeds was the best part of both of them and no one noticed just how good they were for many years after that. They weren't flashy, they just worked.

OH my God! I'm drooling! It brings back so many memories of the Alfa's I've owned since 1979 (1966 Alfa Romeo Gulia 1600 Spider Veloce , 1976 Alfetta GT 2000, highly modified). That Alfaholics version is super well balanced in power and suspension to drift so easily and precisely, reminds me of my !976 Alfetta GT 2000. Just feathering the throttle while making minor adgustlemnt to then stering wheel. While the machine is just eating up the road. SOOOOOoooooGOoooooooooooooooooood...Thanks for sharing .

My God. The sound of the engine and exhaust reverbing/ echoing through the bodywork is amazing!!

This, is my favorite 4 wheeled piece of art in the bloody world

My dad had almost all of the old Alfas. I have been obsessed ever since. I remember as a little boy my dad driving his 3.0l gtv6, the sound has always stayed with me. The induction noise from those 6 carbs was something to behold. And the 4 cylinders sounded very similar to this. The 2.0 alfetta my dad had sounded like this. Thank God for Alfa Romeo, the world would have been boring without them

The induction noise gives me shivers! That thing is glorious!

This car was always excellent. When Alfa Romeo was producing these cars the other manufacturers, were producing ... tin cans with wheels. Especially some German automakers, that even today, they never made a car as good as this one. Even the 1.3 liter was very fast, with lots of torque, exceptional sound, and control out of this world.
