1992 Acura Integra GS-R review from North America
"Acura GS-R, original and still the real ZOOM car!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major or out of the ordinary has gone. Clutch didn't go until 184K. A/C use in hot stop-n-go traffic causes the engine temp to hit max and then overflow the reservoir. Have had it checked, but Acura mechanic can't figure out why it's happening. Normal driving with A/C on in the hottest of weather is fine however.
General comments?
You can't beat this little car. It's got great fuel mileage still (27/31) and nothing major has ever broke. Do your maintenance when required and it'll run forever.
Don't put junk tires on the car. I've had the original Michelin, I've tried Yokohama, and are now on Dunlops. The Yokohama were the worse for rain.
