Anyone made the move from a Dc5 integra to the gt86? Considering the gt86 but wondering if I would regret it, I have owned the teg for about 4 years now and still love it, I moved from a E36 which I loved to an E46 which I never gelled with (electronic throttle, car felt heavy and just a bit boring generally) to the teg which is always an event to drive feeling light and generally like an over sized go kart!

Probably the only downside to the teg for me is at times the lsd can feel to aggressive if you are on any thing but smooth roads and it is coming up to 20 years old now and considering something a bit more modern.

Another consideration is the BMW m235, but expect this may feel like a even more refined, quicker version of the E46 330 that I didn't like lol

I know the answer is to get a good test drive in the gt86 but just wanted some opinions from people that have made the switch.

I know the engine in the gt86 will never be as special as the k20, but will the gt86 be enough of an event to drive that I won't be missing the teg I think is my question.

Any comments appreciated cheers
