1989 Acura Integra LS review from North America
"A great second car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front rotors, brakes, 50% of the exhaust system, rear defroster, and clutch.
General comments?
I knew when I bought the car that it needed some repairs. It was supposed to be a second car for my wife but I ended up driving it. I was amazed! This car drove, performed, and had better comfort than our 1997 Saturn SC1. I love this car, it is a blast to drive and the engine is wonderful when you push it over 6000 RPM. I taught my wife to drive it like it should be driven. She now regularly pushes it to the redline and blows away nearly everyone. My only concern is that the car will rust away before the engine dies.
I drool whenever I see a Type R "Yellow Please!"
