The only shortcoming the integra has in my opinion would be that it's FWD. The Honda definetely has a better suspension setup, Double wishbone vs macpherson strut/multilink setup. It really depends on what you want to do , a well tuned integra is a blast to drive ( <250whp and balanced suspension setup). If you are shooting for big power numbers a RWD platform would be a better choice due to traction.
