Sounds like he needs to work on his driving. All Integras are excellent handling FWD cars, regardless of the variant.

Just completely imo
In your opinion, that's fair. The FoST is definitely a bit on the heavy side, but it actually does have a (brake-biased) limited slip, so if you're getting a lot of wheel spin you're driving another car, or overheating the brakes. When the FoST came out, it was universally praised as the best FWD hatchback available in the US, so there's also that. Its definitely not worst than at least half the cars on your list, by most people's opinion. And really the only cars on your list that are better than it are considerably more expensive.
