My first car was one of the original Integras (1989). Fortunately, it was clean and unmodified, mainly because it predated the ricer's tastes - they like the 90 an up. Yes, the car's styling didn't really evoke much emotion, but it drove like a go kart, and was a great first car for its durability.
My first two cars were Integras...a 1987 and a 1992. They were both fantastic cars. I never got into modding and stuff, but I never thought that either one needed it, for that matter. They got great mileage, they were powerful enough, they were generally reliable, and they looked good. At the time, I figured I'd always want to own Acuras, but at the same time I wasn't obnoxious about it.
