    So in Jan/2010 some beeping beep stole my car and wrote it off , I swear I'm over the loss , Looking at replacing it now , It was a Honda integra, Kinda want one again but not sure
    So choices
    Integra , Impreza , or some other type of reasonable fun Car. I have a very small budget , This is really our second car , I use it going to work so max would be €3000 . Anything good under that mark . I suppose I can live with a 1.8ltr. but 1.6 is more pocket friendly.

    So far the cons on the Integra's are way over priced still for 10-13year old cars. I have owned 2 before and some are still asking the same money as when i was got the first one of them 6years ago.

    If there are any other models ppl can suggest.

    mmmm Prelude , Unfortunately over the 2ltr mark , so taxing will cost me more than insurance.

    always always liked them , never understood why they weren't as popular as the celica's and MR2's ...prob the FWD bit.

    Very very low mileage.

    Try a Mitsubishi FTO. V6 sounds much smoother than 4 cylinder, look great, 197bhp on the GPX models. getting cheap now.

    only downsides is there isn't the same amount of aftermarket stuff available for them and the rear seat room isn't as big as the teg.

    Yeah, there's plenty manuals around. I had both manual and tiptronic GPX models and was delighted with both.

    Drag raced a standard DC2 Type R in Eniskillen last year and lost by 0.05 of a second cos I messed up a gearchange but got a better overall time so they'd be a fair match for a Type R performance wise. As I said earlier though the Integra has a lot more performance mods available but I think the FTO is a nicer car allround.

    There's a 97 180hp GX (non MIVEC) manual on donedeal at the moment for 3500
