  • Great Car! - 1997 Acura Integra

    I am the original owner of this car and love it. It has been extremely reliable and I have only had to have the standard maintenance checks. It still looks great after 7 years! The service shop at Davis has been great

    Overall, this is a good car. A very RELIABLE car!! While it is no longer in production, there are a few things that could have been better. Comfort is lacking as the seats feel like you are sitting on cardboard. This is a real problem as we do alot of long distance driving 250+ miles at any given time. Only had two repairs during the warranty period...the CD player and the radiator. Finally, I think the factory tire choice could also have been better, the Michellin tires were a bit hard, loud and horrible in the wet.

  • Great Car for City and College - 1997 Acura Integra
    By -

    Ive had my Integra GS 2-door for three years now. NO PROBLEMS! Quite possibly THE most reliable car Ive ever owned! Quick, fuel efficient, parts are cheap, FUN to drive, strong engine for its size (buy a radar detector), and youd be surprised what you can fit in the trunk when the back seats are folded down! The backseats arent terribly comfortable for any trip longer than 2 hours. Seriously cramped. Front seats have lots of room, esp. head room. Im 62" and have PLENTY of headroom. I HIGHLY recommend the car for college students who need cheap reliable transport. EASY to parallel park and small.

    This is a very fun to drive car. Power is decent but could use some more torque especially at lower rpms. You allways have to downshift two gears just to pass somebody. Handling is awesome, once the road starts to turn there arent many cars that can keep up with an integra.

    This car is the second car ive had scince my 240sx broke down. It dosent handle as well but this car is very fun to drive and a very cool project car. Ive had to replace the pully system twice but thats about it. Im standing at 62 and this car is just way too small for me.

    this is a great fun and fast car, but cramped and a little uncomfortable due to the tight handling

  • I looooove my gs-r - 1997 Acura Integra
    By -

    i love this car! i thought about getting an eclipse but now im so happy i decided to get an integra instead. you cant beat the looks and the quality you get from an acura. i drove a tacoma before my integra and its amazing how agile it is compared to the truck. it corners like a dream. the car is a good car just for driving around town but when u give it gas and get it up into the higher RPMs and the Vtec kicks in, you know its more than just an upgraded civic like every1 thinks it is. be sure you get a manuel though...automatic integras are nooo fun, esp. if youve got a GS-R.

  • show me a better compact sedan - 1997 Acura Integra
    By -

    Ive owned an integra GSR for 3 years now and have had no mechanical problems at all. With the reliability issue established, i can say this is an exciting performance car. If youre looking for a practical, yet exciting sedan with a 5speed, look no further.

  • Nice - 1997 Acura Integra

    Best car ever. I love it, and I would buy another after another if they still made it. I wish Acura never replaced it with the RSX, but that is awesome too. The Integra is the best import car ever for your money.

  • Acura Integra is fun and reliable - 1997 Acura Integra
    By -

    I love my car and am having a hard time accepting that I have to sell it. I bought it brand new in 1997, and I have not had any major problems with it at all, only regular maintenance checkups. The gas mileage is excellent, especially for highway driving. The car is peppy and agile, which makes it fun to drive (I recommend manual transmission for the most fun). Also, you dont need a VTEC engine to get good pickup. Composed of Honda parts, the Integra is also extremely reliable. If I werent moving to Europe, I would choose to drive my car until the wheels fell off. No kidding!
