1996 Acura Integra LS review from North America
"Reliable Fun car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No real major mechanic problems. Had to replace front & rear brakes twice, seems that's a problem with a lot of Integra's. So thank God for Midas lifetime warranty on brakes. Other than brakes had a very minor repair on exhaust ($35).
Passenger side power window is iffy, very slow, will probably die soon.
Another small, but annoying problem is the arm rest between the driver & passenger has some weird fabric that in the summer time gets very sticky.
Biggest problem is clear coat is pealing off in some areas. Especially the nose, got so bad that instead of a expensive paint job I just put a LeBra on it.
General comments?
Great car. I do the basic regular scheduled maintenance and that's it. Car has never broke down or even made weird noises.
