I'm loving the '01 GSR I bought. I'm coming most recently from an '88 Mazda MX-6 GT so I'm comparing the driving experience to that. I'm mouring the loss of 200lb-ft of torque but the smooth GSR more than makes up for that in every other way.

Except for one...I'm having trouble getting the key in the ignition switch at night. Apparently the previous owner had the same problem as evidenced by the scratches in the plastic around the ignition key switch.

Now almost every other car made in the last few years that I have driven has some sort of illuminated entry. And my MX-6 at least had a little light over the key switch that came on until you started the car. Not to mention fade-to-off interior lights...16 YEARS AGO!!! I know the Integra hit the streets in '94 but still...

The lack of keyless entry is easy enough to remedy, but unless the OEM security system(currently in a box in my living room) has illuminated entry it might be a little tougher to fix this one.
