convincing info about itr's.
The problem is convincing my dad to let me buy a itr. He just wants to make sure that I get a car that will be useful for a long time and that I wont have to worry about repairing alot. For some reason my dad believes that integras "use" to be good cars. and I cannot convince him to believe that they still are. What do u think iI should tell him? any help would be good. seems like an odd question, i know, but bare with me.

Pros:
1 quick
2 very agile
3 reliable
4 resale is sky high - when you goto sell it (note #1 below) it will be worth some
5 realitivly good on gas
cons:
1 stolen ALOT
2 insurance is crazy
3 resale it sky high- used price is outrageous
4 runs only on 91
5 0-60 and 60 ft leave some to be desired.
6 loss of creature comforts
IMHO i think you shouldnt buy a type-r if your dad is involved in any way. you obviously are still dependent on him and most likely you don't need such a high risk car.
if you want a type-r go ahead, but be fore-warned that it is considered the most high risk car to be stolen in the US today. that and the given sticker price on a used type-r suggest that you should get a car such as a hyundai tiburon which comes with a large waranty, fun to drive, and theieves overlook

my father bought my 2 cars, and my brother's 5 cars, does that mean i cant own a nice car? not at all. id rather opt for soemthing other than the type r because of theft issues. i had my last car stolen and i dont ever want to go through something like that ever again.

lol @ turbofreeky
and just because someone's parents buy the kid a car doesn't mean they'll be a sh!tty driver
and from what i hear, the new gen hondas with the k-series motors are better balanced since the motor is leaning back into the bay instead of foward like the bsereis motors. rsx-s is not only heavier than the gen before but they also have more power and a better power-band.
with minor bolt-ons it would be easy for the rsx-s to have 240hp, drop the same mods on an itr and how much hp would u make?
.... don't get me wrong tho, theres jus sumtin about itrs that make me melt and maybe they are faster, i really don't know
