Its your typical 2 door sports car. Really no big. Its based on a teg, bit lighter so it being nice doesnt surprise me. The interior is pretty nice too.
x2 my wife had one but i think i could never has apprectiated it because of its 5 speed auto, just felt maybe tooo over engineered (sp?) hit a rough bump and creeking plastic everywhere lol
I'd like the feeling of a lighter, zippier car... of course, if I get something small, it'll probably be RWD. I'm really leaning towards a Miata, honestly.
After driving the GTP, the Accord is like a go-kart... The GTP is just so damn heavy... The body roll is terrible, and the brakes don't want to stop it (yeah, I know upgrading that stuff will fix the problem). Regardless, the CB7 is just way more nimble. I can imagine any Civic or Teg would be a similar comparison to the Accord.
Still, RSX... eh... it's probably the LEAST popular Integra model (it IS an Integra... just not here, because Americans are impressed by meaningless letters). It's certainly not a bad car, but I'd prefer something a little more purpose-built. For that reason alone, the Integra has never really appealed to me. The original intention of the Integra line was not to make a sports car. The original market was middle-aged single professional women... same with the Infiniti G20. Sure, the Type R version showed OEM recognition that the car has potential to BE a sports car, but it is not truly such.
If I want sporty, I'll get a Miata. RWD, 2 seater, convertible... THAT is a sportscar made for driving! Hell, even an RX-7... Mazda has the right idea about pure sports cars.
the type s is really nice and the k20a2 responds to mods quite well... my buddy has a pretty much i/h/e kpro type s and hes in the 13s... the exhaust hes running happens to be a an 05-06 rsx factory unit being that he has an 02, and the later model has a better flowing exhaust.... very very fun car to drive... dont let people bad mouth it, it is a well engineered vehicle..
i really liked the interior, the amber interior lights and how comfortably i fit into the seat. it just felt alot better than my accords. of course, a 15 year old car vs a 1 year old car, will be different, but it's nothing like anything i've driven before.
i really like nissan titans too. a buddy of mine who goes to my school has one, and i had to drive it around lastweekend. too bad they guzzle down gas like crazy;[
It's all about finding a car that feels "right". I loved driving my GTP when I first got it. I still like it... but it's not my CB7. For me, the CB7 is the best. It's home. It doesn't have to be for everyone!
Hell, for Dv8, the same thing seems true... he has a Skyline... the dream car for a very large portion of car enthusiasts on this continent... and he would rather be driving an Accord!

exactley. i've been on the search hardcore.
the only thing my accords have been missing is an armrest, haha.
my friend has a type s. i drive it sometimes, it's fun and pretty fast, but i'd still rather have my accord.
people say that newer cars drive better and feel more sold, but forget to add that the newer car they're driving is usually on stock suspension vs. their accord with coilovers. it's true that in years they've made some breakthoughs in technology that have resulted in stiffer chassis, but i remember when my accord was all stock and rode like a dream. later.
