I was the second owner of this one - it had 39k miles when I bought it and 112k when I sold it. It was pretty much on it's last legs when I unloaded it at Carmax:
- speedomoter didn't work when outside temp was below 40*;
- CD player wouldn't release cd's
- antenna got stuck going up & down
- clear coat was peeling on the entire car
But she was a good, reliable one while I had her!Apr 30, 2013

When I got this car it only had about 48,000 mileage if I'm correct. Now it read 75,511 mileage. That's the original for a 1996. It's great for commuting and also great to park within tight spots. I'm the second owner and I had no problems with this car.Mar 28, 2013

Awesome little car. Fun to drive. Would definetly be more fun with a turbo. Hardly
any maintenance. I've owned the car for about 5 years and put about 40k miles on
it and havent repaired anything on it. Probably never gonna get rid of it.May 05, 2012

Bone stock silver '96 Integra. Great car, fairly
low mileage for the model year, great commuter
car (30-35 mpg highway). Great handling, corners
fast and flat with no body roll, although the
ride can be a bit jarring on uneven pavement.
Good acceleration and great stability at high
speeds, although it is unfortunately an
automatic. I am 6'2" and lanky and feel snug but
not cramped in the cockpit. Loads of cargo space
with the back seat folded down, I can easily fit
a 32" flat screen TV, a suitcase, and a week's
worth of groceries with room to spare. However,
probably would not comfortably seat more than 3
full size adult males.
Great car, a very fun car to drive. Highly
recommend to anyone looking for a very reliable
yet sporty little coupe with low running and
maintenance costs, yet still a cut above any
comparable American or Korean competitor. For
the tuning crowd, this might be the definitive
platform to build your custom ride.Apr 16, 2011

This was a very fun car to drive! I have never drove another car that will hug curves like this one! It's like driving a go-cart! plus the engine that comes in it (DOHC B18) is pretty sick with a 99-00 Civic SI tranny!Jul 18, 2010

The car was a pretty reliable all around car. Peformance wise, it wasn't all that
bad, but wasn't that great either. It was just you're average car that got
great gas mileage. It had not needed any repairs when I owned it, was a well
built car, engine ran strong. Interior/exterior was perfect, nothing wrong with
it, liked the way it looked. Gas mileage was great, $20 to fill it up, and got
around 450 to a tank, what more could you ask for? The car was a blast to
drive, had all the features I wanted in a car. 5 speed, 2 door, sunroof.
Perfect first car for someone.Jul 03, 2010

Performance - Quick little car, decent acceleration/braking handling, nothing special
Build quality - Honda quality, nice interior, amazing gauges, controls, slide out cupholders is nice feature for 15 year old car
Appearance - Five stars, JDM headlights are prefered to USDM ones but overall, very nice looking car inside and out
Cost of ownership - Amazing gas mileage, maintenance is equal to any other 15 year old car, mine was bought in underwhelming shape
Fun Factor - When car was first purchased it was amazingly fun to drive, still puts a smile on my face, but it's time to upgrade!Nov 26, 2009

Performance: Handling is spot on, acceloration is
best in ITR and GSR form, but with 30+mpg the
B18B is great!
Build quality: Its a Honda.
Appearance: Interior is 10 of 10 I love these cars
inside, body styling is great, especially when lightly
modded, or with front end converted right.
Cost of Ownership: Cheap as the dirt you walk on.
Fun Factor: Go drive the hell out of one, it will
speak for itself. Great car to own, drive, and take
care of.Nov 09, 2009

Its a fun and sporty little car. It has a manual transmission, which I think is a must in any sportscar. You just get a much better feel for the vehicle that way, plus I love the challenge of it. It gets great gas mileage, which it has to since it only has a 10 gallon tank. It gets 30+ on the highway and about 25+ in town. It has pretty decent acceleration for not being upgraded, good braking and has great turning. It does need some suspension work though since it is virtually nonexistent and it needs a new A/C as well. I would recommend this car, since it is a great car to get started in learning manual since it is quite forgiving. The only possible bad thing about it is the fact that it is a front-wheel drive car. That makes a better everyday/all weather vehicle than a rear-wheel drive, but at the same time it takes away some of the sportiness factor. I'm also still more used to the handling characteristics of rear-wheel/four-wheel drive since the first vehicle that I started driving and drove for years was a 1995 Ford Explorer SportJan 05, 2009

The car is really a nice one. Its a small light car with almost 50 50 wait distribution. Acceleration is very good as it goes 0-60 mph in 5 secs. The interior and exterior is in excellent condition. And it has only 93k on it.....and as far as gas consumption is concerned, it all depends on who is driving the car :) Oct 04, 2008

Performance per dollar is just amazing, it doesn't weigh much which helps a ton with handling, and I can keep up with much more expensive cars in the twisties!! ...and all the while getting 26-33mpgJun 19, 2008

I’m a 16-year-old male, and after months of research and searching, I finally found the perfect car for me. I needed something small and good on gas that was under 6K, but I still wanted something sporty.
The car had been owned by a 78-year-old lady who had just died (she must have been pretty cool to have an Integra). It was in a wreck 4 years ago, but was fully repaired and repainted. It has 65K miles. She kept a full maintenance record, and the only repairs done have been routine maintenance, water pump/timing belt, and radiator. I generally get 28 City and 37 Highway. Cruising on the highway is really bad. Wind/road/tire/engine noise is annoying, and its geared so that 3,000RPM is hit at 65MPH. New tires may help with the noise some since the stock tires are a bit old.
Over all, I LOVE MY CAR

The 96 Integra stock is a great commuter car. This special edition has been modified to match my driving preferences. (Stiffer and lowered suspension, Better Rims/tires, cold air intake for better high end acceleration and top speed, and nicer sounding exhaust) The upgraded suspension is where its at though!
