Hey,

So after this guy just kinda ditched me with the Civic I was going to buy I'm back at square one.

Now for the past weeks I've just looked solely at Civics and thats what I was going to buy. Looked good, fuel efficient and just seemed to fit me well.

However now after all this nonsense, I'm now considering the Integra and Prelude as well. I always thought these looked amazing, too.

And now I'm kind of stuck - I have 3 cars in my price range (5-7k AUD which is probably like 2-4k in USD) and I love them all but can only have one of course.

Now my question is - Of course it comes down to me lastly, but I'm just wondering if each is as good and perfect car for a P plater in terms of reliability and fun.

Would there be anything to stay away from with Integras/Preludes/Civics? Anything that excels more then the other in terms of reliability and fun? Choose what you think is the best.

I've seen a few Integras and Prelude (VTI-R's) for the 6-7k mark but the Civics seem to be a little pricier, getting into the 8k mark.

I have 5-7k to spend. I'm looking at the VTI-R's due to the VTEC engine which everybody seems to really like and I am wanting to do slight modifications, ie rims, etc.

Anyhow, what would you choose?

My BB2 was good to me. Just not as much aftermarket support for it as the Civic and parts seemed to be more expensive and more scarce. More so for the SI. Even still I regret selling it. If you get a Prelude get a VTEC model. The SI (BB2) didn't really get much love.
