if you want traction during the summer then go for a 200sx ser.(rwd 140hp 125 tq)..if you want a new corrola then go for the new corrola xrs(170hp 125tq) and basically is the same as a integra gsr except for the fact that it looks almost like a corrola type s but sportier and i think that a corrola has cheaper insurance and also reliable because it's a toyota..... Otherwise if you don't go for the xrs then go for the tye s because integra insurance is higher than other normal car due to theft...if you are willing to pay for higher insurance then go for integra.

Well sentra ser and toyota xrs and integra gsr are all about the same horse power...i don't know much about the reliability of a nissan so i say go for a toyota xrs or type s if you want a car for reliability and power and less expensive insurance. otherwise you would just go for the integra ls/ gsr... as i see it you already are thinking of getting a integra..that is why you in a integra site asking integra owners questions. Just look for a car that would suit your needs. like if you are looking in the future to upgrade it and make it more powerfull then go fo the one with the most aftermarket support.

 

everybody and their mother has a civic? lol, everyone has integras, i see more integras around than civics...

and a truck isnt a bad choice either, i'm going the tacoma route myself sooner or later, the new one looks to be amazing (seeing as they are prolly going to downgardde the v6's compression in the next few years to allow for a supercharger)

 

hey guys. ok, first off: no truck, drfrank. trucks = bad. haha, i said something practical and efficient on gas, like around 30mpg. and i dont need to haul lots of stuff around so i wouldnt want a truck

R34- As i said, im in college and I cant afford a new car, whether it be an xrs, ser, or a type s. i posted the years and cars i would be in the market for. The 200sx SER is pretty nice, but it's a 2-door, and im looking for a 4 door, and they stopped making them in 98. And the 200sx is FWD, by the way.

As of right now, i think im leaning towards the 2000-2001 nissan sentra SE. It it powered by one of the best 4-cyl engines ever, the SR20DE, which is as reliable as any honda/toyota engine, and does have a big aftermarket. All of you that are saying the sentra is crap, well on the b15 forum, the 1.8L GXE and the 2.5L SE-R have all had their fair share of problems, but the biggest problem the SE owners have has was an occasional starter problem or something like that. The SR20 doesnt have a timing belt to change every 60k either, which the integ or corolla will. And most SE owners are getting 30+ mpgs.
The integras cost about 2-3K more than a same year sentra or corolla, and the insurance will be more costly as well. And the corollas just seem very bland and dont have as good of handling as the sentra.

 

Insurance will be the highest on the Integra

 

uh, get an echo

 

all the nissan people on the nissan site said that the 200sx ser is a rwd...and i've seen the 200sx ser being a rwd.. cause my cousin drifts with it....the ones that are not ser such as the se and the base model is fwd. i say go for a go for a 2001-2002 corrola type s...if you don't want the high insurance integra thing.

 

well insurance will depend on his age and history, but still it is the highest amongest them all. did you know that a civic's insurance is higher than an integra - i know there are alot of factors in that, but i was talking with my insurance agent, and she said, that a civic's insurance of the same year (i was looking at a 1998 model, ex) as a teg (also looking at a 98 teg) would be higher than the teg.

anyways, i love my integra, i have 200000+ on it and still runs like a million bucks. no leaks, no nothing, just smooth. my sister has a 2004 corolla, and its nice, but its not the same. sentra is also nice as well. but it depends on the condition of the cars when you check them out i guess.

toukna uh, get an echo

Um yeah the toyota echo is the gayest car I have ever f*cking seen ever, worse than a festiva or geo!!!! I have an integra and the insurance is not bad at all but I am 24 and not sure how much that helps with that, but my 69 chevy pickup costs the exact same amount to insure as the Acura so I would call around for insurance quotes or so it online before you make a purchase to see what difference the nissan might have over the Acura for price, that is what I did before I bought my Integra. Just a thought, Oh yeah chicks like Integra's a lot as well so that might help a little.
