1997 Acura Integra RS review from North America
"Although it is fairly pricey in its range, still a great car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Noise in the dashboard.
Squeaks in the driver seat seatbelt socket.
OEM tires build up cracks after 4 years.
Windshield washer fluid nozzle get clogged.
General comments?
It is very reliable compare to my Corolla, and I have not yet found a major problem in the car.
However, transmission does not response as smooth as others out there and I would recommend a manual transmission instead.
Make sure you get good tires to go with this car, I couldn't believe it makes such a difference in terms of performance and comfort.
