1989 Acura Integra 4 DR RS review from North America
"This car has been a Disaster and waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had this vehicle for only 5 months, I've had to replace quite a lot of things, as time went on pretty much everything went wrong.
I've replaced the starter, alternator, exhaust, clutch, spark plugs, battery, front end tie rods & water pump. Then the motor blew and I am not going to repair it. Although, I did take great care of this vehicle and did the maintenance on it, it still gave me crap.
General comments?
- Handles well.
- Seats are stiff.
- Was roomy for a small compact vehicle.
- Accelerated pretty good.
- Got good gas mileage.
- Stock system sucked.
- Had electrical issues with the pop
up headlights.
My own opinion here, I'd never own another Integra or anything manufactured by Acura. Some Integ's quote un quote may run along time?..They're put together cheap and not very reliable vehicles in the long run.
