OK, did you think I was going to just let you get away with this statement?

Tom is a good driver and his car is good. Is it fun? Only if you like good
time sheets.

>Hmm, are we a little biased here?   :D

Well I have to say, after driving the Integra around the block just before I
put it in
the garage just 15 minuets ago, the car is not FUN! OK it has short shift
and the tac goes and goes
but is that fun? No! Fun is NOT driving a car that your grandmother could
drive
fast on the street. Fun is a driving a "slow" car at top speed! Fun is
driving on the edge
even if the edge is 90 mph. The MK1 is more fun to drive even if it is
slower than
the Integra. The Integra does not corner as well and it feels like a tin
can.
The MK1 is a total tin can! that is what makes the Scirocco FUN.
With all that said the Integra is the best NEW 3 door car that you can buy
Today.
I have driven on the autobahn as fast as my rental car would go
and that was fun. The Integra Type R is too fast and smooth to be fun at an
auto-x.
The car is just too good to be fun. BTW I have two Sciroccos and an Integra
and I think that all the *%&*$ Integras should be junked too.
