1996 Acura Integra User Reviews

My Rambling Thoughts On My 1996 Acura Integra — 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 Sport

Clean Tite — 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 :)

Acura Integra — I do love my car. It has great lines that are sporty yet classic. The colour is great, and the entire ergonomics are dead on with plenty of room. The only thing I don't like is the lower gas mileage for a car that's a 1.6 litre with 140 some odd horsepower and not the best lower gear ratios. Acceleration would be better with more torque on the lower end, and braking isn't bad... especially with performance pads and discs. Never had any squeaks, rattles or parts falling off. The fit and finish is near perfect and it still feels solid. I'm getting 250 to 300 a tank which is less than my Civic was getting (300 to 350) with a gallon smaller tank in th city.

Freaking Sweet — Very strong built car, Gas milage is good gets about 30 mpg in town, car is well put together, Looks nice inside and out.

The Econo-car That Handles Better Than A Lot Of More Modern "sporty" Cars — 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 26-33mpg
