Who gives a damn about interior, I would only drive cars that people wanna see and they're not gonna see the interior whilst I';m on the move are they?

. It's the exterior that counts.

That appears to be £8k and 6 years old?

Theres actually something strange about that one, the headlights drops/tailight drops and the bumpers are what you find on a pre facelift(circa2004) model.

Yeah, it might not have the bm badge, but it sure as hell looks nice, right?

And look at it. LOOK AT IT!

Mugen kit and EP3 wheels did you search hard for that one? :rolleyes:

I didn't know this place had gone from motoring enthusiasts to interior designers.

Remember, I've spent day in, day out for the last 2 and a half years surrounded by some of the world's best car interiors. How long did you think it was going to take before something rubbed off?

So the Soarer is up for sale? Because lets face it, that has a pretty shocking interior, right?

Or maybe we need to learn that the interior of a new Bentley should have no effect whatsoever on opinions of the sub £10k performance car?

Why is everyone having a go at my soarer then? I haven't seen an Asian bloke in a baseball cap not stare longingly at my car yet :cool:

But the entire point of them is how they drive. They are simply one of the all time great driver's cars, the fact that they are FWD doesn't actually matter because the chassis is sooo damn good, they don't need loads of TURBO POWAHHHHH!!!11one1 to be fun, they have an absolutely fantastic chassis and a fun, revvy engine that just begs to be abused.

Sure, they are a lot of money for an old jap car but a lot of other old cars are expensive too, that's how the market works. Sought after cars in fetching good money shocker.

So yeah, pretty much the only way to come close to 'getting' an Integra would be for you to actually drive one, and I don't just mean taking one up the road and back, I mean properly drive one down a good b-road, get 'tuned in' to the chassis and there are few cars that will put as big a grin on your face.

Pretty much sums it up really.

I never thought they were anything all that special until I had a passenger ride in one and it blew me away. The Elise is still top of my list of fave handling cars ever but the Integra certainly isn't far behind.

Until you drive/passenger in one you probably won't get it. Nothing I can write on paper will change that. I defy anyone to drive one and not get it.

Well, not right. If you look past the 'OMG Tape deck' and 'Red dwarf' font on the gear selector I'm convinced it's not a half bad place to be. Everything is screwed together nicely, loads of toys on the V8s and ridiculously comfory seats :cool:

. It repeatedly kicks the **** out pretty much anything I can think of anywhere near the sort of budget I was working with. Plus it's got none of that textured plastic crap that seems to be the norm in cars these days. That's a big win in my book.

I'm sure someone will dig out a bad picture from the internet and all have a laugh at my expense but oh well

I can think of one so-called enthusiast (lol) who would still argue with you on that point.

And look at it. LOOK AT IT!

Come on dude I expect more from you than this! You can't provide an overpriced scallied up example with crappy (probably fake) Veilside **** glued to it and then say 'LOOK AT IT' as though they all look like that? :confused:

I'm sorry mate but this hatred is irrational. Yeah, you don't like it. I get that. But why can't you understand that some people do??

Curious - what do you think of R32s and their price?

I'm convinced he's on a wind up, either that or he's pretty ignorant, probably both.

So you don't 'get' why people would like one of the best handling FWD cars ever made either?

It might not be your thing but I'm sure you can get past the 'OMG NO CARPETS'?

It's crap.

It's also irrelevent.

I believe people should buy whatever floats their boat, iv never driven any of those Jap rockets so i got no idea how good or bad they are, never been my cup of tea.
