1986 Honda Integra SX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Nearly 20years old and still powering on!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch was slipping when I bought it.
General comments?
The car, in true Honda style, is quite fast considering its capacity. After replacing the clutch I've managed to keep up with most other cars off the lights, but I'm yet to test it from 0-100kmph.
It handles well and is a true treat to take into corners at ridiculous speeds, A lot more fun than the commodore I used to drive.
Unless you red line every gear, fuel consumption isn't an issue and to date I haven't had any mechanical problems.
Although its getting on a bit, the Integra is a great first sports car and are found reasonably cheap (mine was $2500).
