1997 Acura Integra LS review from North America
"Beautiful design and engineering has made this car so popular"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since the car is now 10 years old, the starter, and my AC belt tensioner broke, and the battery.
General comments?
I love my Integra. I have put about $3600 into the whole car and it came with a stage 3 pearl paint job. When I clean my car, It gets looked at like it's a show car. I have beaten this car up and down the roads and it keeps asking for more! I hope that Honda decides to bring the Type-R back as I love the Integra. Not that fond of the RSX cause of its high ride height, but I love this car. The B18 is really strong and I can still get 34.6 MPG with all my aftermarket mods. Man this car is great! Lately I've been able to get my 50cc dirt bike into the back (minus the rear seats), plus all my riding gear and paintball gear.
