"A fun dependable sports car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The radiator needed replaced at 80,000 miles.

Air conditioner needed repair at 70,000 miles.

General comments?

The Integra (GSR model) has been a great, dependable and fun car. I purchased it in 1997 and have had 6 years of reliability from this car.

The only major repair was the air conditioner after approximately 5 years.

It was blowing cool, but not cold, so I had the condenser replaced.

For a car that is now 8 years old, it still runs as well as the day I bought it. Not only can I depend on the car, it is fast if driven as such. Gas mileage is decent, around 25 mpg in the city.

The only annoyances I notice with this car is that it is somewhat noisy. Also,

the seats aren't really comfortable, so it isn't that great for long trips (but then again, it is a sports car and not a luxury sedan).

I am sold on Acura's for their dependabiliyy. I owned a '91 Integra before this car and have just purchased a 2000 3.2 TL.

Seems like all Integra GS-Rs have their radiators go out at

~75-80K. mine had to replaced around 76K.

So far only what my mechanic calls wear-and-tear stuff

had to replaced/fixed:

- clutch master cylinder

- brakes (often)

- radiator (noted above)

- brake master? cylinder

only non wear-and-tear stuff i had to replace was a

A-pipe. that is the steel part that connects engine to

exhaust. some other reviewer also mentioned this. my mechanic

said this was a known Acura problem and suggested I go to

dealer and a get a "goodwill" repair from Acura. it was cool

that I was able to pull it off. stuck to that mechanic

since :-) (except the a-pipe for which I had to go to dealer).
