1989 Honda Integra EX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Economical but sporty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The automatic idle was stuck on when I bought it and revved at around 3000rpms (a bit disconcerting!!). The dealer fixed it and from then on no problems!
General comments?
This is a great little car. Change the tyres to Yoko's or Toyo's and that's when the fun begins. The car is undervalued and great fun.
It never broke down, looked OK and I loved it because people thought it was just an old Honda... but it's an old Honda that can get to 100k's in 9 seconds. The DOHC 16V 1.6 was almost as much fun as the Alfa - BUT FAR MORE RELIABLE.
