The two stupidest things in the world you can buy on finance: cars and computers. They lose value faster than anything else, while you pay more and more for them.

financing is only an issue when rates are high.
If you pay cash for a 20,000 car, and you could have gotten 1.9% financing, you could certainly invest that 20,000 and make more than 2% on it. If you find a nice 5 year CD you could make 5-10% in returns alone, thus making money.
The Integra is based off of the Civic Platform, as the RSX is now.
As for the TDI, it is truely a great engine, quiet for a diesel, and in a stick can get up to 50 miles per gallon on the highway. Around these parts, the diesel gas cost about the same as midgrade unleaded. If I were you though, I would wait until January if a diesel is in the works, as a new more powerful version is due stateside.
definitely check out the GTI
or the jetta
in the 1.8T (180 HP) engines if you are looking for a sporty car that gets pretty good gas mileage.
