1996 Acura Integra LS 5-speed Coupe review from North America
"The Acura Integra LS is a great coupe that offers Honda's great reliability with a sporty attitude"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing wrong with the car is it's taste for running better when fed Premium octane fuel, rather than 87 octane. This is hardly a 'con', but keeping it filled with Premium makes it happier.
General comments?
This car is fantastic. Compared to the GS-R (stock), it's not that powerful, but the true potential of even the non-VTEC engine can be unleashed with inexpensive modifications. It's a reliable car, and it's incredibly sporty while remaining economical.
