Um... you kept getting speeding tickets, but it's a Prius? Have you been driving it fast or not? Your plan is to get something faster so you don't lose your license?

I'm really lost here; it sounds like your desire is a car to outrun the police in?


Anyways, I think my biggest complaints about the car besides the stereo are the lack of closeable cubby in the center console and the window controls. The dual-stage controls are way too finicky and you end up 'playing' with the window to get it where you want.

Thanks man, they are great cars and handle like no other just lack power in my eyes. I think if you could get 235-250hp and 200-220 tq with a factory warranty it would be a perfect car.

Nm just looked at your list. That may be the prob

If you went from a slower car to this then you'd be satisfied but you didn't.

You could mod till your happy with it.

Or trade it in

To be fair Integras are pretty slow...though an S2K is about a second faster stock for stock.

↑ so true.

Someone was like it doesn't have enough power you need to TURBO it yo and track it that's what the car is for! I told them, "Get a mustang if you want more power, I got it because of the handling and the awesome look. Sure I might track it one day but I got it as a daily driver." (meta message: GO F yourself)

For a 4 banger I feel this car has pretty good torque off the line. No VTEC rush but it still torques more than my '02 S2k did.

If he had a Mustang GT I am pretty sure he would have had his license revoked already.

The fact that I shock myself every time I get out of the car, and now as a habit I touch cars getting in and out to discharge static even if it's not my car. It's created an OCD habit.

The one issue that I hate, which prevents me from getting the car, is the fact of all the little nitpick issues that have gone on so far, yea its a first year car but come on, its had a couple more issues than other first year cars. I have heard the HPFP which nag people at stop lights or tunnels and a whole bunch of rattles and big stuff like the DI issue which nobody has proved to be massively effecting every car.

How does "losing license" equate "has a fast car"? I could lose my license just as easily in a prius as anything else....
Step 1 drive 85mph in a 55/65 zone
Step 2 get pulled over
Step 3 repeat 2 more times within a year
Boom, no license. I doubt theres a car made since the 50s that cant go 85mph on the hwy, hell, forget speeding, run a red light at 5mph 2x, no license, have a good day.
