Overview & Reviews

The Integra is redesigned. The five-door hatchback is replaced by a sedan and a two-door hatchback continues. Horsepower and torque figures are up for this entry-level Acura, but so is weight. Suspension upgrades improve handling.

  BEEN IN THE FAMILY SINCE NEW - 1990 Acura Integra
  By bigbearhunter - February 25 - 10:08 am

  My mom bought a 1990 acura integra GS in the summer of 1989. I had never seen anything like it. It was small and sleek and yet so nimble. I wanted it. .. ten years later. I got it. I always thought Id only have it for a few years, and that turned into 13. Now its old now and cosmetically falling apart, but the second you turn the key and take off, all the scuffs, scratches and dings disappear. Its the most fun Ive ever had driving a car. Its like a cross fit champion wearing an awkward and ill fitting suit. Its time for me to finally move on. But this car never required anything but replacement parts that couldnt last the 250k miles I put on it. Most reliable car Ive ever owned.

  A Pretty Good Car - 1990 Acura Integra
  By David - August 23 - 1:27 am

  Its had fewer problems than other cars weve owned. Ive done most of the work on it myself. One major problem was that it wouldnt start when hot. After checking on the Internet for a while, I fixed it at no cost by re-soldering a cracked solder joint in the main relay. Another problem was that one couldnt immediately remove the ignition key after starting the car. Again, the Internet came to the rescue and I had to clean the transmission lever electrical contacts (a lot of screws to remove to get to it). The ignition switch failed but got fixed by cleaning and lubing the contacts. A lot of work getting to it. Other problems were mostly like this, little cost but some work needed.

  Breaking up is hard to do - 1990 Acura Integra
  By Sherry in Cambridge - January 14 - 5:42 pm

  Im trying to find a new home for my 20 year old car with 230K miles. I love this car and wish I could buy a new one. Mine really is succumbing to the hard life in New England and I think I just have to let it go to the great racetrack in the sky.

  Great car - 1990 Acura Integra
  By carjunkie - January 1 - 6:21 pm

  I read some of these reviews had to add mine. Had an 88 Integra LS and it was like a tank. Was broadsided by a semi on I-40 in an ice storm. Drove it from AR to KY for the holidays and then down to AL where I relocated. Finally had it fixed. Best car I ever had and only sold it at 137000 miles because 2d child arrived. Too much to pack 2 kids and an 80 lb dog for the trips to see the grandparents. Now Im looking for another for those kids as they start to drive.

  Post Mortem - 1990 Acura Integra
  By Chris - November 11 - 2:38 am

  With no A/C, a failed power seatbelt and shorting panel lights, I blew a hole in a good engine by ignoring a blinking oil lamp after 235,000 and 18 years. Sure I had drink stains from door-mounted cup holders, could never see the low fuel light in the sun, and - gee - just replaced the master cylinder this year and the gasket last. Id bought my first car brand new after college, and she treated me far better than any chick in SoCal ever did. Got better mileage of late than the Cobalt I just rented. Thank you, Acura.

  What a car! - 1990 Acura Integra
  By Mike - January 20 - 11:14 pm

  I had to sell my 05 Sentra SE-R Spec V due to rising insurance costs and many issues with reliability. Found this nice little Integra GS for only 2k. Interior was about the only thing showing some real age on the car. Engine has run great even when I take trips from North Carolina down to South Florida. 13-16 hours nonstop, not even thinking twice about whether or not the car will make it says A LOT about the quality of this automobile. I ended up putting some money into it to fix up a few pieces of trim and the blown speakers, but that was all the car really needed. The paint has held up well over the years, the design is very modern, and the gas mileage is a life saver.

  So Reliable - 1990 Acura Integra
  By John Leonard - October 5 - 8:24 pm

  Without doubt, the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. After 150,000 miles, the oil sending unit broke and at 160,000 the master cylinder needed replacement. That is all I have put into this car beyond normal maintenance.

  Original owner still fun to drive - 1990 Acura Integra
  By Energy Man - August 24 - 1:54 pm

  I bought this car new and have used it mostly for city commuting. Mileage is going down slightly with age but can still turn a consistent 23 in city and 32 on the road. Car is fun to drive and easy to maintain for most things, but timing belt, water pump, ac compressor, CV joints are a pain. This cars reliability and the service lead me toward a 2004 TL.

  90 ls hatch - 1990 Acura Integra
  By russ - February 22 - 11:06 pm

  Ive got 176000 miles on my Integra LS. It has been a great car. Of course Ive "made it my own" by adding all of the bolt on tuner parts. I beat on this car everyday and never have a problem with it. It starts everytime and runs great. Plus, its fun to beat a new Civic with my "old" Integra.
