1990 Acura Integra GS review from North America
"All around winner--thank you Acura"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Routine maintenance items only (brakes, new clutch, tires, etc.) all at appropriate intervals.
My only complaints: first, the car seemed to need a tuneup every 15,000 miles or so. However, once a knowledgeable/honest mechanic pointed that the fuel injector in number one cylinder was clogging, it was an easy (and cheap) problem to fix after that.
Second, the parking brake cable needed to be re-tightened frequently.
General comments?
An absolute gem-- good power, great handling, terrific (~33mpg highway) mileage. Durable as all heck-- When I finally sold it (didn't want to, had to) it had 160,000 miles on it and wasn't appreciably different from the day I bought it.
Only complaints: the brakes were a little weak
