Hard to decide

[Bam]

Hey

I am getting my second car in the next couple of weeks, i am looking at either a 1994 Integra, or around a 93 Prelude.
I am just after some advise in terms of the better buy (I know it depends on a lot of variables, but just in terms of the model etc..)
I am still on my P's, so maybe the 2.3 Prelude would be a bit much insurance?

If anyone has any comments that would be great.
Thanks.

Also, i appologise if i have posted in the incorrect section, i had a look, this seemed like the most appropriate.

Get the Integra! But i've got a soft spot for DC2's. :)

[snowman95]

get the teg

[joneblaze]

What sort of budget are you on? What are you looking for in your new car? Speed/reliability/looks?


Either way, go the Integra... ;)

[Javed]

You posted in the teg section mate, i think you will get biased decisions lol. If it were me prelude all the way, thats a gen 4 right?

[McChook]

It dpends on what you want to do with the car.....
IMO, you are trying to compare a Teg gsi with a Lude Si... In which case the prelude is a 10 times better car. However, if you car looking between an Integra vtir and a Prelude VTiR, it is a much of a muchness, just depends on your plans and what you want it for.

How come the Prelude Si is 10x better than the GSi? :roll:
AFAIK they both share similar interiors, power options, they both have a sunroof and share similar power outputs. The GSi has driver airbags and the Lude has 4WS (which I've heard a few lude owners refer to as a hassle). That's all I could think of....


EDIT: Apologies I'm thinking about the 90 model Ludes... hehe. 93 is like Az's... oops :oops: :)

[Bam]

I would be looking at either a Gsi (Integra), Or the Si (Prelude)

The furtherest i can see myself going with the car is to do the whole lowering, rims etc.....
I want reliable car, someone told me Preludes have more to go wrong. (4 wheel steer) etc..
I found a very nice 95 Integra Gsi with lowish K's for 12,500.
I also found a 93 Prelude Si, with mid K's for about the same.

[Javed]

Hahahaha, that was a dig at us gsi owners!! hahaha jon playing the defense for us go son! Jon what have you doen to ur gsi? :D

[joneblaze]

Nah no defense, I was just confused. :)
But if it's the 93 Prelude Si vs GSi then i think it's really up to personal preference. No idea where the "10x better" came from. :)
My GSi's stock Javed. Just sits a little lower than usual!

[Javed]

Ahhh cool, respecting what Honda did so well hey? :)

Well a little bit of that... and lack of funds ;)

Sorry for the hijack Bam...

[Bam]

Thats ok.
I am leaning towards the Integra now anyway, i rang the insurance company. Grrr.
Anyway,
I found an awesome Black Teg, but it dosn't have a spoiler.
Can anyone help me out there? Good place to go?

[mike_cheung]

help you out with wat??

[McChook]

Drive a Gen 4 Prelude back to back with a 94 Integra gsi... worlds apart. Jon, yours isn;t that old remember. The early DC2 gsi's were quite average IMO. The question asked 94 integra, so keeping with lack of power, lack of fun and lack of refinement, I believe a 4th Gen Prelude Si is 10 times better than a 94 integra gsi.

It wasn;'t a gsi copout, but it was an early DC2 gsi copout. I believe the later models are much nicer.

As for the 4 Wheel Steering - in Gen 3 preludes, I personally hate it. 4th Gens have electronic 4WS, which is less instrusive..

[Ironfist]

I have to agree, i have a dc2 vtir

Both vtir ... it doesn't really matter


If it was gsi vs si ... si is 10X better. Friend used to have a si. I reckon it was awesome, nice crusiy car, cool ass dash, cruise control. When you've got a teg it feels like you have to prove yourself because of the type R's and everyone wants to race you. This is not a slander against gsi's being crapper then vtirs.

It's just the facts :P

but like you've probably seen... tegs are cheaper by a few hundred then preludes. I guess it all depends on your budget... either way ... don't get a civic :)

Dang :(

DC2 without the spoiler looks "HOT" :D .. especially if done right!
sometimes I think the spoiler ruins the fine lines ......

another plus is... you don't have to plug up holes if you want the GT style wing ;)

[imminent_]

then again, i like GT spoilers.. anyone else think they're cool?

</hijack>

[76]

[Bam]
