One of my mates imports jap stuff and hes just had a DC5 honda integra delivered. Finished in white with white alloys, red recaro interior, xenons, A/C, covered in service stickers, aucction grade 4 and hes offered it us for a good price before it goes up for sale.
looks identical to this:

Had a honda S2000, Audi S3 now on RS4.
Honda make great engines that love to be pushed hard but need pushed hard to get the best performance (and noise) out of them. I enjoyed the Honda but now just cant see past Audi.
Am with Paul - the quality and understated power of the Audi marque make it a no-brainer.
It would also be a shame for you not to enjoy the mods you've just put on your car or did you do that just to sell it?

The only thing is that fair enough in a straight line the Honda will get buggered by any tuned non N/A, but round the twistys and when your really going for it, type Rs are brilliant. My friends just bought a DC2 integra (uk spec) and I had to drive it from where he bought it from. It was such a good drive, very focused and agile, very raw (the DC2 has no sound proofing and the limiter doesnt come in till around the 9K mark) and it just felt right.Compare that to the CLK55 that my stepdads just bought last night (lardy,not all that quick imo,crap drive). The DC5 is a bit less hardcore then the DC2, but it still (i have been told) have the quickest lap time for any N/A fwd car around the nurburgring.
@ woody I had an EP3 before I bought the S4 as well, and the only thing I could fault it for was the steering bein vague, part from that I thought it was good. What didnt you like about it out of interest? Seems like your getting less desirable owners (scrotes) acquiring these now as well.

dont get me wrong when i got it it was newer than new and i loved it but i had to wring its neck to enjoy it but once you hit its full potential it seemed to get boring..i took it 2 the ring once and enjoyed that 2 but now i have the s4 i wish id got this first..its a single mans swop ya bird everyweek type of car i think..
