  Wouldnt sell this car. - 1996 Acura Integra
  By wrongfire - August 28 - 9:16 pm

  Performance - 3 This is the weakest aspect to me, of course this is just the RS, but its slow. It handles great, I love taking corners with it. Its FWD, so if thats your thing then you will love it. Comfort - 4 The chairs are nice but not great, driving for more than an hour gets uncomfortable.. The cup holders are pretty small. Value - 5 This car has so much going for it, and the price is excellent. Fun- 4 Awesome car, but just slightly too slow, and spongy. Interior - 5 Mine is black and blue.. its immaculate. Exterior - 5 The design is still excellent and eye catching. Build - 4 140k miles and still holding together very well. Reliability- 5 140k miles and nothing is wrong.

  96 coupe, 1.8l automatic - 1996 Acura Integra
  By bassplayer62 - August 18 - 5:35 am

  resurrected my 96 two years ago. it had been sitting for 2 years, the prior owner parked it when the engine light went on around smog test time. picked it up for $300. started it up, was not running too well, like on 2 cylinders. Got it home then pulled down the codes. misfire cyl 2 &3 and bad secondary O2 sensor. Replaced cap, rotaor, plugs and wires. Replaced O2 sensor. The car fired right up. 1st test drive was an awesome experience, great acceleration!!!. Passed smog with flying colors!!! only mechanical issue was the coil recently failed. Replace witha new one, and no problems since. This is a very fun car to drive!! I live in the mountains and this car corners like a dream.

  Its so hard to say goodbye... - 1996 Acura Integra
  By GS-R Lover - October 26 - 3:29 pm

  I bought my 1996 Acura Integra GSR (5 sp manual) used in the fall of 1998 right after I graduated from college. I was 22 years old and had just landed my first job in the real world. At the time, the purchase price of $18k nearly broke the bank, but I loved the car and wanted to make a long term investment. Well, it is now the fall of 2009, I am 33 years old, and I still have my GSR and I still look forward to driving it every time I get in! Unfortunately, the time has come for me to get a new car because it is now impractical to own a 2-door due to all of the trips I have to make with my young children. I have loved owning my GSR and I will miss it very, very much. This car will one day be a collectible.

  12 Years of fun - 1996 Acura Integra
  By GSR Fan - September 2 - 6:41 pm

  Recently sold my GSR. I put about 150K on it before selling. Never had any major issues, except regular maintenance items that need to be addressed in an older car brakes, clutch, suspension etc. Very fun car to drive and I got about 28 mpg on average.

  Good handling - 1996 Acura Integra
  By integra owner - August 9 - 3:58 pm

  25 mpg for a car that gets to 60 in 8.5 seconds isn’t great. It is very reasonably priced though. For an msrp of $18,000 it is very sporty.

  Its my baby! 96 Integra LS - 1996 Acura Integra
  By Integra <3 - June 23 - 4:14 pm

  I got this car as an intended project car and its coming along great! Like stated, after 100k miles the car starts to show its wear. Ive bought an intake system, a full header back system and thats just the beginning. With some performance mods this car can haul! It is a tuner car and should be treated as such :) Outstanding car but should only be owned by tuners in my opinion.

  Integra 59 - 1996 Acura Integra
  By mechanic - January 29 - 2:29 pm

  Ive owned the Integra for 8 1/2 years. It has about 108,000 miles on it. Its fun to drive, has very little maintenance cost, and responds very quickly. The seat belts respond too quickly, pinning me to the seat when I move rapidly. The only mechanical problem that I find to be a weakness is that I had to replace the radiator after 84,000 miles.

  Amazingly reliable, equally fun to drive - 1996 Acura Integra
  By COIntegra - February 19 - 12:49 am

  I purchased this car with approximately 60,000 miles. The car now has nearly 100,000 miles and I have never encountered any problems. I drive the car with spirit and it never lets me down. Combining decent fuel economy, fantastic reliability, and true enjoyent while driving, this car will always be one of my favorites. (Go with the 5-speed to achieve the most power.)

  A great car - 1996 Acura Integra
  By gdub - June 24 - 4:58 pm

  Loved this car, recently sold it to upgrade to an RSX type S. Handled great, shifted great, and you cant get that 8000 RPM scream anywhere else. Also had lots of cargo space. I know lots of people dislike the 4-headlike look, but Im not one of them.

  Still Going Strong - 1996 Acura Integra
  By ACIN - February 28 - 2:00 am

  Just another satisfied owner. With plenty of acceleration for fun or slipping through traffic, the GS-R is a car for drivers. I bought mine new eight years ago and Im still satisfied. Following the standard maintenance recommendation (more or less), I havent had a single problem in my 100K+ miles.
