a 1.5l Honda won't require much adjustment over any other 4 cylinder, if it's mated to a manual trans. 1.3 Geo engine probably starts pushing it, unless it's one of the later model 16 valve jobs, though that's just speculation. Gearing tends to make up for the smaller displacement.
1.5 or 1.6l is a nice size for a small (~2000lb) car, IMHO. 1.0l requires an attitude adjustment on the highway, though I rather enjoy it other than having to accelerate up a steep on-ramp.
