Integra vs 1.8T

I good car for college but of course i like to go fast. Right now i have a honda accord but i want to get something a little sportier/faster and upgradable. I was thinking either the Jetta 1.8T or an Integra. If i got the jetta it would have to be the newer 180 HP 2002-2003 model which would cost a little more but about the same as a 2000-2001 GSR integra.
I like the idea of a turbo 1.8T the N/A acura is tempting too? i know this is the integra forum and you will all just love the integra but i was wondering if anyone has any expierence with both of these cars or anything as far as pros and cons of each. I have been on google and searched so about as much as anyone who can search the internet can know. Thanks for you help.

i would rather get a 1.8t golf

but of the 2 you are choosing i would take the jetta
i just like vdubb's better then acuras

B4 i bought my Acura I went to the VW dealership and test drove the 1.8T's they are quite a bit faster than a stock GSR but at the same time the 1.8T's are more expensive and harder to soup up. Its all personal preference I love my Teg but I'm sure I would've loved the 1.8T the same they both are great cars its all up to you.

not true

I didn't mean physically harder to soup them up. I only meant that they are a little bit harder and more expensive to find parts to soup them up. Or at least here in SC they are.

There's the simple fact that you are missing out on... Integras are good looking cars.

What? That was pretty stupid of you to say. How does that make someone a ricer by owning an integra? thats why i hate vw owners. They talk too much shit. Anyways back to the teg. I would say its all up on you. Both cars have good potential but if it was me i'd get the teg cause i think they look better.

i didnt mean it like that, both the integra and the 1.8t are amazing cars

with the rice i never see a riced vw only riced honda's and acura's

Are VWs Japanese? I didn't think so... No rice for you.

Nah Bret aint gay, well atleast he better not be.....:thefinger

i was thinking about getting a vw not to long ago, but after talking to a few people that own them... well some of the owners love them but ive talked to a few that have had so many electrical problems,

i talked to a formor co-worker who now works for a complaint department at vw she told me some stories about those cars.. one of the current issues seems to be that vw used cheap plastic brackets that hold the windows in place and when drivers hit big bumps... well the windows dont always seem to stay up, im pretty sure this could be a problem in the rain, but i remember her telling me that after this happens to you they'll replace it with a metal bracket!

i havent talked to anyone with this problem but she says it happens often

i had the chance to drive a few vw's and besides the fancy keys and sharp look the car feels kind of cheap

im just a newbie but thought i should give you some insight, my teg is great and i have no complaints all but some times the ignition cuts the radio off when i turn from on to accessory, not all the time though...
