Question Need help choosing

i plan on getting a used car in the following months. i'm having a hard time choosing between a '94-'01 integra GSR, '95-99 eclipse GSX, or '95-99 talon TSi AWD. i checked out the insurance prices on all 3 n the tegra got the lowest one since it isnt turbo, but the prices arent too far apart. im trying to spend under 9k. there arent alot or GSRs for sale around where i live. alot of eclipse GS-Ts but no GSXs. alot of talon TSi AWDs but mostly if all autos. i want manual tranny. im not picky about colors, but i prefer black and i dont want red. thanx for the input if any!!

I'd get the integra.
Turbos and AWD are nice but I like honda / acura.
Maybe I just partial because I have a honda.

I would go for the GSR, you can do just as much if not more with that then the others. Parts and mods are so easy to get. I think you would have more fun modding it than the rest.

Good Luck

if i get the tegra im either gonna go all motor or s/c it with a vortech s/c and maybe do a JDM front conversion if i have enough money. if i get the eclipse/talon i wanna go all for speed and a lil bit of everything else, ie i.c.e., exterior, etc. i just love the awd with the BOV!!!!

i prob wouldnt get the GSX cause they are not very well built.
your prob gonna have a lot of problems with it, but if your not worried the problems then i would go with the DSM. AWD turbo is a lot of fun to drive.

thats just my opinion.
