I have driven the 2002 Integra Type-R and i must say it was fun but not fast. The thing handles like a dream and it has some getup and go and will quite happily change lanes all by itself with the torque steer if you let it but it takes soooo long to get there.
My driving experience of it went like: Ok i wanna go fast now, floor it, revs start climbing... climbing some more... oh look its almost 3 o clock... revs climbing... i wonder whats on the radio... revs climbing ... im hungry might get something to eat... revs climbing some more... oh vtec kicks in - hmm thought that was supposed to be like fast mode ... oh yes it is kinda fast i suppose.... here we go. ok 8000 or so revs should probably change gears i guess.
start process over again.
and the interior is ugly, those dials are so bad to look at.
after i got used to the only-goes-fast-over-5k thing it was a lot more fun but i found the almost complete lack of low and midrange annoying in all situations, especially daily driving.
I guess after driving a turbo car im a bit biased.
