1998 Acura Integra RS review from North America
"It's not a GS-R or a Type R, but if you can't afford one of those this is a very good car too"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The O2 sensor went out at about 50000 miles.
Other than that nothing but routine wear and tear.
General comments?
I didn't like the stock handling. But with aftermarket shocks and springs it handles respectably. It has no anti-lock brakes, so you really need to have a feel for it when slowing down. There is some understeer when at higher speeds, but this could probably be corrected with better tires.
