Which car would u think is more ideal for like road trips cross country, from west to east, via highways, long roads, and freeways...I wanted a 99-00 si, but im seriously stuck on the Integra....94-01....What do u guys think! i know this is an integra forum but honest opinions please...

98-01 IntegRa:


99-00 Civic Si:


Really curious about it before i make the big decision!

 

unless the integra is a gs-r or a type r model i wouldn't bother trying to compare a ls/rs/gs to a 99-00 civic si, personally i have a 99 ebp si and i wouldn't trade it for any integra unless it was a ssbp gs-r or any type r.

 

If you're going to road trip it, get the SI and throw an LS 5th gear in for cruising, just my 2 cents

I agree.

 

If this is for a road trip, I'd go with the car that has better seats.

 

for whats its worth i just went on a pretty long road trip and averaged 31mpg (pretty much all highway cruising at 75 - 80 at about 4k rpms. DO NOT get an LS 5th. It will kill your gas mileage. If you dont believe me do some research and youll see) in my 99 civic si. Also my civic si has a lot of cargo room. Not sure about the integra but my trunk is huge and theres a lot of room to put stuff in the backseats.

 

The Civic Si is better

 

Integra seats &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; civic seats

Lol, for more money to be hotter in the summer, you back and everything is sticking to them.

Civics are (seemingly) easier to maintain. From things like the head lights, the seats and the other minor details. I would rather vaccum a seat than wipe it down with Armor All, that's just me

 

i may be slight bias but.. i'd go w/ the SI

 

I would get the SI but be mindful of thieves when you are traveling across country.

This is one of the only reasons I will never buy an si. They just scream steal me.

I vote for the integra

 

i would definitely go with the integra if you can afford a gsr. You get nicer seats, more power (gsr), and torque. b18c1&gt;b16

 

Si

Civic forum - recommend civic

See integra forum thread for my opinion

 

Have fun driving across the country @ 4000rpms when you're going 70mph with the EM1

i did . it wasn't too bad (9200 miles in 2 weeks). The GC coils weren't much fun though....

 

I can barely stand driving to school everyday with this fifth gear. (22 miles each way)

 

actually i think both scream steal me....i go with the si.

You do know not all Integra seats are leather right?

I'd take the Integra after having spent a bunch of time in both. They have a much nicer interior.

 

How bout an EM1 w/ b18c1 and gsr leather seats.
