I also think the electric 3 series for sub $60K is dope, although I've never driven it. It's weird to me that it gets almost zero love... it is like the only EV that isn't a stupid CUV other than the Model 3/S.

Sure it's the same car, but it looks unique/nice on the exterior, it's a hatch, it's got adaptive dampers and evidently rides amazing, and a tad nicer interior. I personally wouldn't pay the $7K premium but when there isn't a $7K premium, it seems worthwhile. I would think that buying an Integra at MSRP would depreciate less than a Civic at $7K over too.

If you come home with a brand new Acura BAEZN is gonna schedule a vow renewal. I'm low key jealous of anyone that DDs an Acura from the last ten years with the ELS sound system. Those things BUMP. The seats in my experience are great too.

MSRP for MSRP I'd still get the Cuckvic, but right now the Integra could be a dece buy. The other neat thing is that I see the new Civic all over the place already, I've yet to see a single 'teggy.

They're not making any Integras. I was listening to Jason Cammisas podcast (who really likes the Integra) say dealers were claiming "Sold out for this quarter!", and he asked how many cars that was and the answer was 6. Six cars spread over 3 months.D Griff wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 6:05 amI noticed every Integra review (I watched many as a former 90's Honda fanboi) raved about the stereo being

Ran a few quotes on the Elantra just now. Shift coming in with the lowball $11,200, Carvana $15,856, and Carmax bringing the heat with $16,400. Tempting to off it and try the one car lyfe, but my gym is just far enough away that it’d be inconvenient for Michelle to be carless for that 2-2.5 hour window, especially since that’s usually when she finishes working for the day and likes to get the doggie out to a park or something.
