Default Why should I buy an integra?

I currently have an automatic prelude...its going to get sold so I'm considering an integra...

Experience drivers please leave some pros and cons of this car

I've been rockin the integ for years.

Pros:

. Fun to drive
. Low regular maintence
. easy to work on
. lots of parts out there and options to make it look hot
. Fun to drive

Cons:
. Always worry bout getting it stolen
. Lame ricers and just about everyone else with a lead foot wants to race you for some reason
. Getting caught up in upgrades (engine, interior, appearence mods) then going ..
"Man this is a specny hobby!"
. Getting hassled by cops with nothing else to do. "Hey son.. u realize this car is not street legal" Heres a fix it ticket... next time I see you this better be back to stock" (*that was word for word...)
. Did I mention worry about getting it stolen despite your security efforts, and hope there isn't some ******* with a tow truck around.

Ditch the auto prelude.. you'll be happy with an Integra

Thats just my 2 cents

You should buy a car because you want to buy a car, not because of what others say about it But JoE94Integ summed (is that a word?) it up pretty well. Let us know what you do.

integras r one of the best car for its price rite now. very reliable and a good car to build. parts can be found almost newhere. not too slow and not all that fast, but still u can feel the power. one of the maddest 1.8 engines out there. also they can last very long.

I actually bought one as a temporary car while I was waiting for my STi to be delivered and loved it so much I cancelled the order on the STi.

The pro's outweight the cons I think. Integras are great cars. get a manual, you will love it.

Comment on the pic:
Thats ****** funny, converting to chrysler. Heres a new way to get chrysler build quality out of YOUR honda:
Take off all the parts
Get a hammer
Give it to a 5 year old before you give him his Rittalin
Wait a hour
Put the car back together AS BEST YOU CAN
it will at least look better than that poor car, haha

I just threw up in my mouth


The only thing I didnt like about my Teg was water in my spare tire well, but it is easily fixed once you find the trouble spot.

The main con to buying an Integra is that no matter how hard you may try, you can never get it to look that fly

But you can always try....

...but seriously.... don't do that
