1988 Acura Integra LS Special Edition review from North America

"Fantasticly cheap road rocket"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I first bought this car from the dealer it had a gasoline leak, which they fixed for (almost) free. one of the main fuses blew and I lost power when I stepped on the brakes or turned on the headlights. the passenger side window didn't work, bad motor. the sunroof leaked. the rust holes in the back let dust into the interior when on dirt roads. the e-brake eventually stoped working. the front bearings went bad, and I had to replace the CV joints and boots. the muffler fell off, and the door handle broke off.

General comments?

Despite all the problems with this car, I love it with all my heart. it was the

car I learned how to drive a stick-shift

in, and this car never failed me off the line, it was a rocket. it was the LS Special so it was black with gold rims and two-tone black and gold interior with the foam wing on the back.

For a small engine this car would still do 130, though it didn't really like to, and it handled well enough around tight corners at excesive speed. I finally had to let go of that car and I wish I hadn't cause I miss it a lot and won't find another like it. if you find one, buy it, fix it up, and keep it, it's a beauty.
