1995 Acura Integra LS review from North America
"Over priced Ford Escort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. Body covered with dings. Cheap metal. Repainted twice.
2. Air conditioning - 20,000 miles. Dealer couldn't/wouldn't fix. Blows warm air. Recharged with Freon.
Freon recharge at 60,000 miles.
Freon recharge at 80,000 miles.
3. Brakes
Replaced both sets of rear calipers and drums twice.
4. Exhaust heat shelf "fell off".
5. Transmission has a hardtime shifting.
6. Bad master cylinder at 88,000.
7. Drivers seat broken and wobbles.
8. Automatic antenae broke.
9. Water pump leaks.
General comments?
What a wreck. Every car I have purchased has lasted 100,000 miles with no problem. This car is constantly in the shop. I thought Acura was a quality brand. I will stick with American.
