1988 Honda Integra SX16 review from Australia and New Zealand
"A really good and reliable first car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to change the battery and get a major service done by changing all the major parts (e.g. ignition leads, air, oil & petrol filters), which made it drive as new.
General comments?
This is my first car and it sits low to the ground and cruises well on the open road, whilst handling really good as an inner city car.
Fairly quick through the gears and accelerates really good.
I've been running it on premium and has almost doubled the power whilst cleaning the engine out at the same time.
After a wash (both inside and out) it shines like new and feels like new.
It has a very comfortable interior.
Good fuel economy, I pushed it to 600km on a 40 litre tank.
Good boot, you can fit a lot of stuff in there such as when you go camping.
