1997 Acura Integra v-tec review from North America
"The wanna-be fast and the not so furious"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Distributor went out shortly after purchase. Overheating problems. Clutch problems along with transmission. CV joints. I think the engine has just about had all the abuse it can handle.
General comments?
I got this car as a Graduation gift from my Parents. A boy racer dream car. Toys R Us should sell these.
V-tech engine is willing and screams to redline, but the car is too flimsy to take any kind of real abuse.
GT car wanna be. Underneath it all a sporty looking Accord.
I'll take my Porsche to the track and let mom use the V-tech to get the groceries.
