The engines are bulletproof if kept NA, and they're easy to make fast..
I thought about getting one myself as a daily driver..
that's true but look into a GSR model ... the LS non vtec motor in Joe's Teg was just as slow as my Camry.
we were dead even & his Teg was a 5spd with i/h/e + suspension mods.
he never could pull away from me ... it was just the typical torqueless wonder that typifies most honda motors.
one thing about an Integra ... your insurance is going to be through the roof since it is #1 on most insurance stolen car lists.
the insurance on Joe's old Teg cost as much as our MR2 + my Camry put together both have full coverage.
not only that we're both older than the original poster with clean driving records.
the amount of money we save in insurance every year by NOT having the Teg outweighs even how much we spend on the alltrac in a year.
that's one thing to take into consideration when shopping for a car ... your parents should get an insurance quote beforehand imho unless cost is not a concern for them.
