I drove an Integra R and loved it! It will be in better condition that most of the Saffs out there (never driven one so can't comment)

I would also love a Saff, but just feel that they are getting on a bit and couldn't afford the running costs of one if things went belly up

My advice would be the Integra, although you are comparing very different cars

If only I could narrow my list of 'next cars' down to 2 !

Have to agree with the above post though, the ITR is gonna be cheaper to run. I had one for a year or so, and it really is a cracking car, and if you drive like a wuss - you'll get good fuel consumption as it's only an 1800 NA.

Plus one of your choices is more likely to get nicked than the other ! Whats insurance like ?

All the best

Teg is 800fc, not too bad.
Yeah head says teg, heart says both :P

Teg would be wiser, cheaper to run.

But I could sell the cossie in a year for pretty much what I would have paid for it..

Seen a nice j plater for 5500ono, black 2 wd

Cossies are holding their prices well at the moment and some very good ones can be found

cossie

was having a look at these the other day bit pricey for me tho.

i am going back to turbo power after the 2.2 VTEC. VTEC is very good and makes a great noise but boost is er well bleed valveable

insurance on the cossies is pretty reasonable as well
