My friend owns one and it hasn't given him any problems since he bought it new two years ago.

Just an FYI (I know I am getting into details),

The 2000 Civic SiR was made in the US. So, it is technically not an "import" (and also no duty as an import). All EK coupes were produced in the US. The only year they imported EKs from Japan was 1998. They only imported sedans. BBarbulo has one. So, technically 96-98 Civics are not all imports either...

they are made by a company which is owned outside this North America, thus import...

last time i checked the skyline wasn't an import intended to be driven in NA so i don't think that should qualify. perhaps you should take the word "import" out and make it top 5 japanese cars.

semantics.
