1987 Acura Integra RS review from North America
"This car was like Christine, it just won't be killed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator died and I was able to drive to the repair shop on the battery.
General comments?
I love this car. It only cost me $2500 and it ran flawlessly for 78,000 miles which I did in one year. Then my girlfriend hit standing water on the freeway at 80MPH and hydroplaned my car, and us in four guard rails. We were unhurt, and the car was still running. Even after that it was mechanically fine, but the body damage totalled it. New York State law wouldn't let me drive it though so it became the spare car.
