I came from an Integra LS myself (i drooled over the ITR for years). When i found out i would be attending Oregon for college (from Maryland) i decided i might need something a bit better than FWD for the snow. Enter STI.

I know the LS is worlds from the ITR, but i can definitely tell you the change will be drastic, but a good one.

Good luck with your search for the perfect 05 (it took me nearly 4 months). You will find it though.

Also, very nice ITR. Possibly one of the cleanest i've ever seen (and i was an avid ITRCA lurker for about 2-3 years).

Also, welcome to the STI community.

Sorry, I have to disagree. I had an ITR and the STI is a Lexus in comparison. The Type-R has zero sound deadening, ZERO. It's like driving in a tin can. I also owned a Buick GN and the STI is basically both of those cars rolled into one. Turbo power with handling. +1, maybe more for STI.
