Honda DC5 Integra daily driver owner here... I love the car, it’s fun to drive, the looks still hold up IMO, the drivetrain is still rock solid and dependable, I like the interior, the hatch with split folding seats is seriously useful, it’s just unique enough these days to stick out in a crowd, even the base engine…
Well you’re always welcome to sigh-n off instead of reading his punny comment!
I love that this exists
I appreciate the mkv gti love. I still have mine (my first car) as a winter beater/project car and it’s the same situation. It’s not perfect, but it’s mechanically sound and I have beat on it since I got it with 48k miles and it’s now at 150k. It’s got an apr stage 1 tune and I drive it hard every time I drive it and…
Damn it! CUSTOM controllers. But I guess in a way, my typo wasn’t wrong.

Aaaaaaand the countdown to 2045 has begun
I looked through the rest of the photos.
I was almost on board until I saw the original. The original is NP all day. This? Not only no, but hell no.
Before you vote CP, you need to know why - behold, the car in its original, beautiful form:
God I hate ads like that.
This is a phenomenal example of a SHO but the quality of the car =/= the quantity of money that the owner is asking for it. I FUCKING LOVE this car. I can hear Mötley Crüe playing from that interior shot. I doubt most of us will ever see a 30 y/o SHO in this good of shape, but that doesn’t make it worth $7k.
I mean, I hope he finds a buyer at this price, I really do. This is a fantastic example of a really cool car. However, I voted crack pipe since there is like zero market for these things and, when the hammer falls, it will probably sell for half what he’s asking.
It’s not out of this world CP. It’s not like I’d never buy it. It’s just too much money for a pretty rough 43 year old not particularly attractive car. I’d have to inspect for rust too. It’s gone way beyond its expected lifespan.
It’s unusual to find one of these that isn’t festooned with every $2 gimrack from Autozone and a fart can out back. A lot of this vintage Cobalt suffered clearcoat acne, but for a DD this would be fun. NP
This is the camp I’m in. I don’t know what the market says, but the price doesn’t seem all that unreasonable for leather interior, 400 hp, good looking drop top with reasonable miles for the age.
Also: not overly high mileage. Enough that you know it was driven, not so much that it was a high mileage commuter
I have a severe aversion to aftermarket forced induction, but this is so clean and nice. Too much for even a cherry stock ’08, but I think this is a rare case where quality, well done mods actually add value. NP.
Because I’m a sucker for brutal punishment and take stupid risks, I have owned several 1.8t, 2.0t, 2.7tt and VR6 VAG products made after the year 2000 that I bought with more an 100k miles. My current daily driver is a 2007 Audi A4 2.0t w/ 170k miles that I bought with 105k. I had a first gen Audi allroad that I got…
