Goes to show you don't need to drive a SUPERCAR with a prancing horse to put a smile on your face. He looks happy in that DC2R. And that, is why we are so passionate. The joy of driving.

Good to see an old JDM featured in the famous top gear. From what I read at wikipedia, the DC2 is regarded as one of the best front wheel drive car back on it's time.

Lemme better that, with an excerpt from evo uk mag, which I regard as more performance oriented compared to Top Gear.

"The Integra Type-R ranks as one of the truly great drivers’ cars of any kind."

Honestly, Honda don't make cars. Honda makes legendary driver cars.

The Civic Type Rs, the Integra Type Rs, the NSX, the S2000. Back then, I might have said I wanted a GTR over a NSX, or maybe even a Supra over a NSX. But today, the GTR and Supra has worn off, but the NSX is simply timeless.

I know which of those 2 is faster, clocks better times, but if I were to own only one, it is the NSX every damn time. Cause I don't drive on the track, and without electronic this and fuzzy logic that, it is as raw as it gets.

Same for me. A mid engined V6 that was able to beat Ferrari years ago.
