After owning a Saab 9-3 and a Golf GTi, I was delightfully surprised with the performance and unmatched reliability of my Integra. I bought the low end Integra RS trim level, and to me it seems fully equipped;

I had a keyless entry system installed, that took care of the non standard power locks, the stereo and speakers are fantastic, still original. I really do wish it had a sun roof, but I have seen on some other Integras that they don't even open all that much.

Many times I have purchased large quantities of furniture at IKEA, and to my surprise, when the back seats are folded down, I was able to fit 4 bookcases and a large dresser in the car. I had to tie the lid down, but I was thrilled that everything fit.

Apparently my car is so hot that it was stolen, and wrecked, and ditched out in the desert outside Las Vegas. The insurance fixed it all up, and now it's like I have a brand new 97 Integra again.

Overall, my Integra beat out my previous Saab and VW GTi, maybe not in performance, but in reliability and overall value.

Faults:

Since the car is now 10 years old, the starter, and my AC belt tensioner broke, and the battery.

I love my Integra. I have put about $3600 into the whole car and it came with a stage 3 pearl paint job. When I clean my car, It gets looked at like it's a show car. I have beaten this car up and down the roads and it keeps asking for more! I hope that Honda decides to bring the Type-R back as I love the Integra. Not that fond of the RSX cause of its high ride height, but I love this car. The B18 is really strong and I can still get 34.6 MPG with all my aftermarket mods. Man this car is great! Lately I've been able to get my 50cc dirt bike into the back (minus the rear seats), plus all my riding gear and paintball gear.

Faults:

Had to replace the muffler; it cracked at the input flange. Replaced front brake pads and rotors recently. I would consider this a normal wear and tear item.

This by far has been the best car that I've owned. The only complaints that I've had with the car: the temp control for the heater was sticky, and when the car was cold, the auto-trans tended to hunt between gears. Once it warmed up, the problem went away. This car has plenty of zip. Excellent fuel mileage (about 31 mpg).

Sadly, the safety features of the car were put to the test last week. My daughter was in a "T-bone" accident that totaled the car. Both air bags deployed. None of the passengers were injured, and the Acura held up well considering the severity of the collision. I am planning to buy another one.

Faults:

Nothing other than normal wear and tear. I do complete teh regular services at the dealer.

General Comments:

Suspension is generally very hard, but the car has worked like a charm for the last 6 years that I have owned. I plan to keep it at least for another 5 years!!

Faults:

Radiator cracked and had to be replaced at 65K miles due to a faulty thermostat. It was about $500 to repair.

Power Antenna jammed at 60K miles. I chose not to replace it and instead opened it and removed the plastic cable connecting it to the motor. The antenna goes up and down, but you have to push it manually with your hand.

General Comments:

Car has been quite reliable, but the check engine lamp does turn and give false readings.

Michelin Pilot tires are great for this car.

Good little car with great handling.
