Default getting a car

whatsup, i will be getting my first car in 2-4 weeks and my limit is $10k. I've been looking at integra's and preludes and im really interested in them. But at the same time its going to be my only car and im gonna need it for daily driving, what i want to know is that is it worth it to get a prelude/teg because of the high theft rating.

Your insurance wont like you having the car, but you can install kill switches for ignition and the fuel pump. That would make it a lot harder to steal.

An Integra has a MUCH higher theft rate than a Prelude.

if your car is left stock, it is going to be pretty rare that someone is going to steal your car. when there are really nice cars out there that people want to steal, they bring tow trucks and just tow the car away. it will be harder to steal a car with an immobilizer if you do not have a tow truck

since u wanted a daily driver, you should keep it stock. prelude's drive nice when they are stock.

That would be a steal if it was a manual. Too bad it's not.
