for a better project car....

The "bestness" of a car dpends totally upon your ability as an owner to make sure your car runs well. A car is only as good as it's owner/driver. I have owned Hondas and Nissan Sentras and it is all up to you as to which one is better? Proper maintenance is key to making most automobiles what you term as "better". Nissan and Honda are both pretty trusted names in the automobile industry.
