Faults:

Great car to own I would recommend anyone looking for a car to get this one. I been having it for several years and nothing has gone wrong.

I am a mechanic so costs for tuning the car monthly is free.

Aftermarket parts for this car is also great.

Currently installed on the car is a full cat-back muffler, oil changed every 3000mi, air intake system, Enkei 17" rims, also converted from automatic to 5 speed manual and a soon: Integra Type R head swap.

The only thing that cost me was the Integra Type R head swap which will set me back: $900 both for installation and the motor.

After doing this the car will run 11's on the quarter mile w/o Nos or Turbo.

Those will be added later.

General Comments:

About the drivetrain and handles... it handles like a knife through butter.

It'll accelerate 0-60 in about 5 seconds.

Seats are very comfortable. I did a drive from North Carolina to Florida which normally takes about 12hrs I managed to do 120mph the whole time in less the 9hrs.

Even though it's an automatic it still takes on the baddest street tunerz.

Faults:

The left front head lights needed replacing.

I had to change the battery.

General Comments:

This car handles my abuse and keeps on going. This is by far the most reliable car me or any of my friends have ever had.

I race with this car; redlining, braking hard, and reaching speeds over 200km/h frequently; but the car never ever complains.

Sporty, handles well, and with all my upgrades, it looks brand new.

The ride is a bit uncomfortable due too bad shocks, but otherwise, it's a great car.

Faults:

I have had very little go wrong with my car. That may be because I car was very well maintained and accident-free prior to my ownership and I have done nearly all the maintenance checks recommended in the Acura Recommended Maintenance Schedule.

My clutch just went a few days ago, at 95,000 miles and cost (at an Acura dealership) was $950 to have the clutch, pressure plate, etc. replaced.

Other than that, only very minor things have occurred: I have had to replace the radio antenna twice; I had to replace the front glass once due to damage from gravel on the roadways.

General Comments:

In general, I love this car for its practicality and reliability. It is a small car which handles very well on curves, breaks like a dream, and is economical on gas.

The only general cautions are that I have found it a little noisy on the highway, and this car is definitely not for the big man (for example, my husband who is 6 feet tall finds the seating rather cramped).

Lastly, I have had an Acura Integra LS previously to this, but it was a 4-door and was automatic. If I were to pick between the two, I would choose my first Acura because it addresses some of the problems I have had with my current one: more space, and no potential clutch problems.
