Extremely well-built, too. I see samples even today that still run practically like new. And a friend of mine had an Integra of that vintage until he passed away....240,000 miles.

Celica GT-S is a good one, Motor. Those things were a blast to drive!

Hands down the Integra Type R. Despite being FWD,it handled pretty neutral. Didn't have a lot of torque, but Honda made the most out of the engine with its slick transmission. Unlike newer Hondas/Acura filled with hard plastic, the Integra's interior feels more expensive.

It's a blast driving this thing to its 8,400 RPM redline!! If I could find one for the right price, I would own this iconic beast and leave it in the garage. I'd be too paranoid to drive it.

Great post. It's considered one of the best handling cars including RWD.

The Alfa isn't really a sporty car, its just pornography.
