1991 Acura Integra LS review from North America

I do all my own maintenance. Replaced timing belt and water pump as recommended at 90,000.

Replaced muffler around 105,000.

Have installed 2 sets of brake pads. At 180,000 replaced both CV drive shafts. The outboard boots were torn, and it was easier to replace the shafts than to replace the boots.

Have replaced the battery once. Oil change and filter every 7500. Have replaced the spark plugs twice. Have never needed to adjust the valves. I run full synthetic oil in the gearbox as it shifts better. I run 25% synthetic oil in the engine.

The engine only uses 1/2 qt of oil every 3000 miles!

The intermittent wipers don't always work. and the dome light no longer works from the driver's side door. The clutch is adjusted to the service limit, but still works

This is ALL that has gone wrong with the car in 181,000 miles!

I tow a trail with this car (2 motorcycles + trailer = 1500 lbs).

Gas mileage is about 33, mostly highway with maybe 20% in-town driving.

I was researching '01 Integras and ran across the negative view of the '91 on this site, and wanted to offer a counter-point.

I will buy another Integra, probably an '01. The RSX's suspension is too stiff for my tastes.

My only dislikes are the car's uncomfortable seats and high noise level.

My other car is a 928 Porsche, plus 10 motorcycles.
