1988 Acura Integra LX review from North America

"A good car, but an expensive repair"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

So far the only thing that's gone wrong with it is the repair I just did as of 1/11/05: replaced ignition & distributor after failure of both.

General comments?

After owning this manual transmission Integra for a bit over 2 weeks, the above repairs were necessary after one failed and led to the failure of the other according to a Firestone diagnostic.

I was new to driving manual with it, which probably didn't help, but it's a little disappointing that such an expensive ($400) repair would be necessary so quickly after purchasing it.

Fortunately, it appears to have good mpg (30-35) and I can tell it's quality despite it's age. It also has a good interior and the stock accessories, such as sunroof, are great. However, since I'm a college student, I hope this trend of necessary repairs doesn't continue or I'll be forced to sell it.
