1996 Acura Integra LS special edition review from North America
"A performance drivers dream"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far I have not had a single problem with my Integra. I have had to change both the rear and front brakes, which I did myself, so the cost was minimal.
The Cavalier Z24 I owned form new to 120,000 miles and had only one major problem, the water pump leaked. So aside from that I thought I was happy with the Chevy.
General comments?
After the first day of driving in the Acura I realized how miserable I really was with the Cavalier.
Other than the acceleration the Acura out performs the Chevy in every way. Handleing is far superior, and it certainly out brakes.
I feel the front seats are very comfortable, but I get complaints form the back seat all the time.
I look forward to adding performance items to this car. There are a lot of them available.
