As the title says, I am in need of a second car. I hope that as honda/Acura drivers some of you might have direct experience with some of these cars. Any problems/issues that have arisen with them or if you feel one is a really good choice by all means give me your opinions.
My choices are:
1. 1994/95 Acura Integra GSR (~$9,000 CDN)
2. 1994 Honda Prelude SH (~$11,000 CDN)
3. 1995 Honda Civic Si (Canada) (~7,000 CDN)

Others cars missing in price range?

 

probably better if posted here:

This is a odd question though, what's your budget? They are all great cars and I think the price indicates the level of desire for each one I would have.

 

I don't know much about the Canadian model, but are you sure there is a Prelude SH model in 1994?

 

I live in Canada, and I'm pretty sure there isn't one. As far as I remember, the 1994 models came in:

SR
SR-V
4WS

 

'93 Integra GSR

best model 'teg ever!

 

If you lived in Toronto, I'd say make sure that Civic was rust-proofed, but this might be the "least-stressed" choice among the three. Replacement used engines and transmissions are plentiful and cheap.

Didn't that Integra have something like an 8,000rpm redline? Imagine doing that to an engine and transmission for 12 years!

 

definately go with the Integra GS-R.

the GS-R manifold really gives you the ability to scoot around in the low rpm range.

 

plus, when the butterflies open which is around 5,600rpm it sounds really cool because VTEC kicks in around 4,500rpm and then the butterflies in the manifold open.

 

definately go with the gsr

 

Acura Integra GSR!

 

I've had both GSR and Prelude although they were both from the year 2000. Prelude was definately my favorite of the two. More power and felt better built.
