1995 Acura Integra GS-R review from North America
"Premium version of the excellent Honda Civic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch failed at 57000 miles.
Rear hatch began to occasionally rattle at 60000 miles.
General comments?
It handled very well although, typical of front wheel drive cars, it understeered when pushed hard.
Lack of low RPM torque and drivability was improved considerably by advancing the ignition timing by 4 degrees from the factory setting.
