1998 Acura Integra Type R review from North America
"Great handling, but needs more power"
General comments?
The car handles very well and is fairly peppy, but it doesn't feel like 200 hp. The engine only makes power past 4000 rpm and anywhere below feels very anemic especially for a car that is lacking the power and AC options for performance gains.
In my opinion there a a lot better deals deals when looking for performance, but I do love the handling.
