Fast, look cool, feel great to drive, stop and handle well, but FUN is mildly questionable, they are VERY hard work if you really want to go proper mad in them on the road.

Bugger all torque, and all the power (i mean REAL power) is at 7.5k+ which makes driving them a real effort, honestly you drop 3 gears to go from cruising to giving it some once you at say, 60+

Without the torque and with so much grip its not a car you can go hanging the back out either (I did and nearly wrote one off )

Quick tho, Ive seen 140+ in ones with very little effort

To be honest you DO get used to caning them so hard, but its an incredibly peaky engine, needs a lot of effort to properly av' it in one.

I reckon turbod or supercharged theyd be sooooooooooo good.

Overall tho, I love em

Went round coombe in one and it was very easily unsettled, and very twitchy on the back end. If you want a V-Tech buy an Integra much better car all round

Ive had an Integra mate (DC5 new shape one) and loved it to bits. I just fancy something different for a couple of months!!! Cant beat a softtop!! (and cant afford a Porker Boxster so this is the next best thing!)
