GREAT RELIABLE CAR ( FAST ) ( EASY TO MOD )

Cons

IF YOUR INTO MUSCLE RICE ISN'T FOR YOU

Will Never Own A "car" That Is Not Acura/honda — EVERYTHING RIGHT DOWN TO THE BADGES ON THE CAR. The only thing that could have been better is the size of the cup holders but it really doesn't matter. I mean you don't buy a sports car to put drinks in it that's why they have coolers and mini-vans. Four cylinder cars have it all now days, you can get more power out of the engine, maybe not torque but to some people that doesn't matter. Great gas milage. Just an all around nice looking cars. I wish they would have never stopped making the good ole TEGS!

Like It Better Than Many New I Have Owned — I love this car! Bought it used with a bunch of miles, but good outside, and interior 9/10. It's loaded, great performance for its size, and it handles! Like it better than any I owned since 1979 Trans Am. It is the car I have liked best in thirty years. It is pure fun. Open the windows, and sunroof and drive! It makes going to work a pleasure!

Breaks

Gizzer — Drives like a honda should, breaks like a honda should not, but it breaks like a b18 should. Oil problems, electrical problems, distributor problems, etc. But I have fun getting from point a to b. I reccommend this car to whoever loves to hate their cars.

My Acura — The car gets great gas mpg. The car is manual which i wanted for my performance needs. The maintenance on the car is slim to once every 4 months. The car is fun cause i can control what gear i want to be in, which makes it easier to powerslide.

5 Of 5 Stars — excellent vehicle, great performance and handling, no engine trouble so far, except for the ABS module which sometimes has a mind of its own. cost of ownership is minimal, except of the routine tune ups, great styling, and a great race machine

Good Reliable Car — good car, easy to sup up. Liked it a lot. Stock performance isn't amazing but thats easy to fix. Fun to drive. Cost of ownership is barely anything. The appearance isn't the greatest but hey...when you drive by the fuel pumps your laughing.

This Is A Fun Car — Okay acceleration with pretty good bakes and good handling. The build quality was good. Not too many rattles or anything. The car was a bit pricey for me when I bought it but wish I still had the car. It got good gas mileage and maintenance was low. This car was really fun to drive and I really put it through some hard driving conditions.

Integra — I liked it. It was a fun car to drive, easy to maintain, cheap to repair and great to look at. The automatic transmission was pretty wack though. It shifted between gears randomly and it was kinda slow. The back seat was really small, but the trunk was massive. Sound system was great, no complaints really.
