Re: Looking for a new car.
The Integra.
The Probes handling is abismal
The Talons reliability record is abismal
The Cavalier's not quite as awful as the other two, but it's still cheaply made, outdated and below par compared to the Integra.
So I'd say the Integra is worth the premium it asks over the others.

Re: Looking for a new car.
I'd recommend the Integra, but try to find a 94-and-up if you can; they pop up for less than five grand every now and then.

I would forget about the Probe and the Cavalier right now. They just can't perform against the Integra and the Talon. They also have a poor aftermarket compared to the Integra and Talon as well.
So I guess it depends on what you really want to do with this car. If you want to go drag racing then I would pick the Talon. If you want a really good handling car then I would pick the Integra.
Either are good choices however, I would be VERY leery about buying a used Talon. Hell, I would be careful when buying ANY used turbo-charged car. It is not that they aren't reliable. The problem is that most people don't know how to take care of them. So, I would only buy it from someone you know or buy it knowing you might have to replace the turbo.

I dont think the Integra and Talon have much more parts that the other 2. Cavalier is the #1 sold car so it has to have many parts. And as for the probe www.probeaddiction.com . But i guess your right, the talon is obviously the fastest but no body know how to take car of them and usually the turbo or engine goes. And i think the integra is the best bet 2. It will out last all the other cars, has good luxury, and there is tonees of aftermarket parts.
Thanks.

I dunno about back when it first came out, but nowadays, it isn't. I believe the top five (in order) is F-150, Silverado, Ram, Camry, and Accord.

Re: Looking for a new car.

Re: Looking for a new car.
A car is technically any motorized vehicle with four wheels, but if you wanna seperate trucks/vans/SUVs and cars, then the Toyota Camry is the best-selling car in America.

Cavalier has a bigger aftermarket than people think, its just not the fab car to customize
Its a tough choice between the Cav and the teg...I would have to lean on the Integra side just because of the objective reliability it has to its name...I have a friend who abused his Cavalier and it runs really well, but thats only one experience I can go by
