Or like wasting money on a jumped up hairdressers car whose performance can only be compared to that a modern 125cc bike ie corners well, but you have to screw the absolute balls off it just to feel your hair extensions blowing in the breeze 9,000rpm being one of their biggest talking points? Talk about desperate to impress

Not keen on the onion either

Its also regarded as the best handling front wheel drive car ever made, so as a performance car compared to a standard cosworth the integra is quicker in a straight line, handles better, stops better, is more reliable so ye i can see your logic of why a cossie is a better car lol.

Remember though i also have a 3 door parked on my drive and have owned an escort cosworth and a 2wd saph, so i think i am qualified enough to comment how many integras have you owned .

pmsl Where did I compare your car to a standard Cossie...or a cossie full stop?? I wouldnt compare an Integra to a car thats 21yrs old...if you feel that the Integra is as good as a 21yr old car then I think Honda I some where behind in what they are doing To say you've got the best handling front wheel drive car ever made is fair enough. Front wheel drive was concieved to reduce production costs and also to provide a more stable and docile car for the drivers with less ability. If your car is the best at meeting those objectives then well done Ive never owned an integra....ive driven enough of them to have more sense than to rush out and buy one.

Hey its not me that is saying its the best handling front wheel drive car ever made, its all the magazines and car critics. As for Honda being 21 years behind the times i'm sure Honda were managing to get 150bhp out of a 1.6 n/a in 1990 nd making it mega reliable, where as ford are only just starting to manage to get 150bhp out of a fiesta with a 2.0 15 years on.

Anyway who gives a fuck you obviously like wasting money on old shonky sierras and i like wasting my money on integras golfs 106's and cossies lol
