I like the car but dont see how it differs from any other popular car put there.
You're worried about your mom getting in and out of the Integra but this car would be just as low when you dump it.
I personally love the look of this thing but dont think you get as much as you're paying for. Good luck mang!

This crossed my mind - but DB's were called girl's cars too. oh well.
This crossed my mind also. FWD/4cyl hurts my feelings. See 2009 TL SH-AWD thread. ("Dear Acura, Fuck You.")
No such plans, but nice to know that a straight six with the crazy engine note is in there.
my pops has one...its definetly a good car for him. rear is small like everyone says, well the whole care in general but i like that. rides comfy, easy to navigate, has good power from the 2jz 
. i used to think the gauges were cool before but they are old school now but the car overall still looks good when lowered on some good rims.
go drive one, they hold their value really well though, but he has not done any maintenance to it besides regular crap

Dont know, seems like too much of a Broooo car (armo).
I wasnt born here, so I guess I'm a fob.
wtf only 15k? why so cheap...
my bestfriend had one back in the days when they first came out.
my coworker right now used to own 2 of them. one as a daily, and the other one a full-out track race car that got trailered. (sold both and now daily drives a white AP2
)
my opinions on the IS300's....
cool looking cars... they aged well.
interior is decent... doesnt feel like a lexus tho. more like an integra gs but with suede instead of regular leather.
handles pretty nice. fun to drive.
the body feels pretty thin to me. like the doors and stuff.
backseat is smaller than our db's. marginally. id say its more similar to the backseats of a 3series. the integra sedan backseats surprisingly have more space than it looks, and definitely more than the coupes (which u already know anyway)
the automatics have a gay shiny metal shifter and ball shiftknob. some like it. i hate it. i dont like ball shifters.
if it wasnt for the fucking riceboys and the fake altezza lights, this car would remained one of the awesomest "regular" cars imo.
overall, i really like the car except..............the fucking gauge cluster! that chronograph shit is annoying and too busy for my eyes.

shift knob i'll deal with as long as the cupholders hold drinks.
gauge cluster is busy, but its still an improvement over the 240sx.
yeah they're kind of cheap for what you get in my opinion. also another reason I'm drawn to them.

Hell yeah its ricey, but that was in 2001. It looked great with the SE37's. This was actually the only IS300 i've driven.

so this is what a stock IS300 puts out and sounds like. sounds better than a TSX (sorry), and puts out more torque (sorry).
funny that my old teg put out similar numbers
wow that sounds great.
