1992 Acura Integra GS review from North America
"A reliable car that doesn't skimp on performance or style."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air conditioner needed a freon replacement so that it could blow cold air instead of lukewarm. It might have a freon leak.
Generally, shifting into Park is difficult, because the indicator light does not always come on. If the indicator light doesn't come on, it won't shift out of Park and into Drive or Reverse. The shifter needs to be wiggled a little in order for the indicator light to come on.
General comments?
Acura labeled this vehicle a sports car, which is shown by its good cornering and handling. It also exhibits a good level of acceleration.
This car is like a luxury car because of the power windows, power locks, power mirrors, and ABS brakes. The graphite seats and black interior look awesome, not to mention the stylish exterior.
Installing a CD player can be difficult, as a security code is needed if you rewire the radio. Also, face plate style CD players don't fit to mount in this car. I chose a 6 disc Pioneer CD player that mounts in the trunk and has a wired remote up front. The wired remote fits perfectly under the radio when wedged into the little shelf by the shifter.
