Cars
I'm really intrigued about the new Acura Integra. I had a '06 RSX which was really a great, fast car. I find Acura's to be really solid cars, last for up to 300K miles and look good. I'm hoping the Integra, which was just teased in a release will be a 6 speed manual tranny, will be a really fast and dynamic car. I need a new car in the next year as I'm giving my Acura ILX to my youngest. Thoughts?

Re: Cars
My wife's friend had one - her husband had a lease on it, but then was working overseas, so it became her daily driver. However, they live in Boston, and it's pretty much one of the worst cars you can have for that area. She didn't have any complaints about the car's performance, but it's pretty much built toward being a "let's see what this baby can do on the open road" kind of machine.theblueram wrote: ↑2 years ago Been looking at all different cars at this point. Anyone own an Alpha Romeo Guilia? I like the look, and has a strong engine. If the Integra falls flat I'm thinking about that car.

Re: Cars
So I was at my local gas stop. Right across from Eastward Look. I pulled in and there was a new Alfa Romeo Stelvio. I went in and asked the guy is that your Alfa? He said yes. I told him I was looking at buying a Alfa Romeo Guilia. He said have you driven one? I said no but want to. He said do you have a few minutes? You can drive this one. And there I was tearing down 108 in an Alfa Romeo Stelvio. I love this town. I left my car running at the gas pump lol.

Re: Cars
Hah. It was nice. Heated steering wheel. And fast. But the Stelvio is an suv type so not what I'm looking for. When I turned onto Burnside he said you can step on it. Went to 60 in about 5-6 seconds. NICE!!!! The guy was really nice, but so is everyone I have ever met in Narragansett. The guy was in line at the counter, never met him before.Rhody74 wrote: ↑2 years agoHave you returned it yet?theblueram wrote: ↑2 years ago So I was at my local gas stop.

Re: Cars

I am a BMW man myself, but can't afford anything new lol, I like and buy the older models.

Re: Cars
My last two were an 06 Acura RSX and a 14 Acura ILX. The RSX was very fast but they discontinued it. I've owned two Galants, a Civic and a Grand Am. Then I had a bunch of used cars like a Maverick and Corolla back in the 80's. When I met my wife she had a new Prelude which was a blast to drive. How does the Alfa compare? There is no comparison. I test drove the 2 and 3 series. I thought the Alfa was superior in all aspects.phipsiGD'11 wrote: ↑2 years agowhat cars previously have you owned? and how does the alpha romeo compare?

Re: Cars
I had a Prelude way back when also and it was a blast to drive. My first car with a stick and a sun roof. Good times.theblueram wrote: ↑2 years agoMy last two were an 06 Acura RSX and a 14 Acura ILX.
