Help me make a decesion.

Ok I am looking to buy a car in July for my Bday. My first option was a 3.2Cl type S but insurance to high. Now I have narrow down to these 3 cars. I put a $500 deposit on the VW 337 GTi lots of potential and there wont be many of those. Second 98-01 Integra Type R but those are very hard to find. Third a 96-98 hatchback DX with a b18c5 swap(hopefully). And I am looking for a car I can grow into and wont get tired of it, and last a while and looks good so those are my options for now. Help me out please.

For the ITR no more than 20k for the 337 since is New 22k and the hatch back I would spend what I have saved up which is 11k no financing there.

Depend on you really...For me I wouldn't buy a car and get a swap. So it's either gonna be the ITR or the Gti.

Gti has v.v timing and turbo and 5v/cyclinder while ITR only v.v timing. Gti has more torque but less power than the ITR.

For looks i would get the ITR. For everything else go for the Gti.

ITr has high potential when it comes to modding.

I wouldn't be able to choose between the ITR or the 337.
some MAJOR things to remember are. VW's are much more prone to part failure, like even the head cracking at 55 thousand k/m!
Since it will be under warranty I don't see how that will bother you, but also remember, replacing VW parts are Much more expensive. I myself am debating whether I want an Integra or a VW... I myself have been in love with golf's for a whial, but I know more about Hondas/Acuras... I will probably go with an integra just because as I will be buying a new car, I would trust the reliability of Acura much more. If you want some pics, just PM me and I can send you some drop dead pics of golf's.

Now after long research doing the hatch and the swap got to complicated so thats out of the question, and the dealer gave me back my deposit for the 337 b/c they got in and I never went to get it. So now its between a regular GTi and have looked and looked for a certified used ITR and every dealer I go too asking for one they just make fun of me saying its basically impossible. So most likely i am heading in the GTi side, no one can find a certified white ITR . Hopefully i get lucky in the month I have to make my decision.
