i am not usually a fan of small FWD cars (even though i used to own a GSR) but we just got one for my wife, and i must say it is one of the most fun cars i have ever driven. when i graduate, hopefully we will be able to replace my TA with an S model

Proof that driving fast in a slow car can be more fun than driving slow in a fast car.

Bollucks on those cars. They may be fun to drive but they belong in europe IMO. lol just not a big fan of the appearance, those the S model does have a slightly mean "pissed off rodent" look to it.

I belong in europe IMO, (or maybe Latin America, or Korea or Japan, anywhere but here) :yeah:

I for one like it. I drove an original mini and found it was like ridding a moped. You know, it`s all fun and games until your friends find out! Then I drove the new mini (not an S) and I was impressed by the zippiness. I would buy one...........for my wife of course.
I enjoy a good FWD car once in a while. Although my preference is RWD, you can surprise alot of RWD cars with a decent FWD car if you know how to drive. Going off on another tangent because you mentioned you had a GSR, here is a picture of three Integras. Two GSRs and an LS. I own the LS but I`m faster than the other two because they can`t drive. The guys I`m reffering to are the other two techs I work with. In these parts, there are maybe ten 2nd gen Integras and only two GSRs and we own three of `em. Our coordinator drives an Accord coupe and he likes to think he can hang with us so we let him dream (he`s our boss you know) but the Network Admin drives a Cavalier so we fired him. (no joke)

Is your seatbelt on? I`m gonna try something!

i like it

mine was a 3rd gen, and it was pretty nice, but i didn't like the cost/performance ratio and i wanted some torque

Sofar I've kept mine stock. I need something reliable while I do the 302 swap into my '82 GSL. But I know what you mean when it comes to getting more performance out of a highly tuned, high reving jap motor. Astronomical!

My B16 '86 Prelude is faster than nearly every high power RWD car at out autoX's. The only ones that beat me are Twin Turbo 911's and one C4 Corvette that's got 10" wide slicks and is a track car only. FWD cars have their advantages. You just need to know their strengths and play to them.
