The only thing that has ever gone wrong with this vehicle were the warped rotors. That was because of an overanxious young driver.
The car is also very tempting to put money into and the rewards are great enough for such a hobby to become addictive.
In the 12,000 miles that I had the car before it's unfortunate end it never gave me a problem.
I came to realize that my doubts about small car safety features are vastly underrated and this is the car to prove it. I had crashed going 105mph and jumped out and walked away.
The reliability, gas mileage, functionality and 3rd gear performance are all top notch.
I have a 99 integra LS and oh god is it addictive to work on, I had 1200 rims and a 1500 system and the car got stolen, which is a problem you will have as an owner, but I'm right back on the band wagon working on it again, putting the system in this weekend and trying to get some GSR rims because it's going to be stricly sport and honestly big rims aren't good for that :)
