Which should I have gotten in 2002 for a new car?
I wish I could have gone back and made a different decision than I did. I bought a '97 M3 Coupe instead, and wound up wasting a lot of money on repairs. Right now, I'm trying to save money, and I bought an '06 Accord EX 4-cylinder 5-speed. Between the M3 and the Accord, I had an '00 S2000, and a '99 Camry for the winter. The biggest things I look for are handling, decent power, reliability, useability/utility, and quality interior materials.

Whats the point of this poll though, just to make yourself angry about what you should have done?

CL. I would've avoided the integra at all costs, I know way too many people who've had theirs stolen. It's kinda scary.

~$26k, if I recall the sticker correctly. They currently run around $18k here in central NJ...when you can find them.
The CL-S is all over the used car market here. LINK

I say you should have bought a CL type S.

I would say the ITR, but I don't know how bad theft issues in boston are.

Investment wise Type R since the resale is great but then again it might've gotten stolen. If you got the CL-S, you'd probably be on your 3rd tranny and making this same post.
