I was all about the integra but I've fallen back in love with the s15 although I haven't driven any of these cars yet so I dunno what I'll choose but ATM I'm more towards the spec r s15

Only problem with an ek9 type r is they're silly money for an old car... Atleast if you get an s15 you'll have boost to play with :p

I'm happy with the spec s s15 if there's no spec r's about I'll have about 6/7k to play with ideally , yeah that's true the one I've seen is 6450 with 88k on-the clock but and this is a must for me it hasto be imported all the ones I've looked at so far have been imported and those jap lads spend alot ....ALOT of money on aftermarket parts so buying the ek9 for 6450 with another 4k worth of spoon parts really isn't bad lol an they tend to have immaculate service histories and haven't been ruined by a Brit lol

Not considered an ep3 ctr? Could get a really nice one for you budget... You'd still get vtec noise but more modern everything else?

At 6/7k I would be looking to move on from FWD hot hatches, which basically rules out the Integra and EK9. These are good on Gran Turismo but I suspect the reality of living with an old Honda is far from ideal.
I like the S14 and S15, but will you get a decent S15 in your budget? The really nice ones appear to be around 9/10k. Also, what is it like getting hold of spare parts? The interiors are a bit low-rent too...
I'm a sucker for Mazda RX-7s, but they do have a rough reliability record.
I would be looking for a proper, bona-fide sports car...

Integra for epic handling and screaming VTEC noise.
S15 for sliding around with a grin on your face.

I would probably prefer to set one alight and bask in its warmth than spend actual money on one

This was my thought process when you mentioned country roads / B roads. Not much can touch them!
Either that or a 2-door Scoob... P1

S2K for me.....not practical at all, but awesome for a 2nd car!
Scoobys and Evos are both a bit over the top and showy imo.
