1988 Acura Integra LS review from North America
"A pocket rocket at an affordable price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One seized front caliper.
Power moonroof switch quit.
Warped rear rotors.
General comments?
This car still has most of its original parts like - alternator, starter, radiator, exhaust, all suspension pieces etc.
It drives like a new car and it is pushed to the limit every day without skipping a beat. It is very quick and I constantly shock drivers of other so called pocket rockets at the stoplight drags.
The engine does not burn oil and seems happier at 7000 rpm than 3000 rpm!
This car puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.
At 150,000 kms it still chirps the front tires at 7000 rpm shift from 1st to 2nd.
It also pulled 220 kms in top gear at 6800 rpm!!!
