Great Car, Great Car Company

by nightfall
Aug 07 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great 2-door coupe
Cons: Acceleration slow at high speeds.

Handling on the Integra GS-R is quick with acceleration excellent in the lower gears. Unfortunately things begin to peak out in moving from 90-125, but this is a minor quibble. With the rear-spoiler standard in GS-R, handling is great at high speeds, and...

by SLTahoe
May 09 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fast, great handling, gas-mileage, alot of aftermarket parts, reliable, and cheap
Cons: noisey cruiser, lack of efficient soundproofing, everyone has one, AC is weak
The Bottom Line: It's fast, its good on gas and it looks good. Add a alarm and off you go. A little noisey but that is a easy fix.

This car simpl put is a gem when it comes to front-wheel drive, sport compact performance.

It's quick (7 sec 0-60 stock), has great handling, fits alot of cargo, and is Honda Civic cheap at the pump.

THe masses should already know...

by VictorY.
Jun 24 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Afforable price; simple styling; fun to drive
Cons: Not the most practical car

My Perspective
As you continue to read, bear in mind that my model is a 1997 2-door LS hatchback. Also, I often hear ergonomic disputes between people of different sizes and so for reference purposes, remember the following when I tell you...

Great package

by ndahbar
Jan 17 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Deceptively fast, great handling and brakes, reliability
Cons: Styling to some? Not sure it's such a terrific value

I tell you, there is not a single product from Honda/Acura that is not worth of at least some kind of praise. It's real easy to be a loyalist to this manufacturer, and the Integra Coupe is certainly another reason to add yourself to the fan club.

Poor Man's Porsche

by ImportPower
Jan 02 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Sportiness and reliability.
Cons: Overall interior room.

The Acura Integra could be described as a Poor Man's Porsche. It has decent power, handling, and comfort at a reasonable price. I originally purchased my Integra because of the support that has been shown for the car by the aftermarket. If you look,...

Go for the Gsr or Type R

by jiji3000
Apr 07 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fun to drive, reasonably priced
Cons: Average engine, acceleration

I have a 1997 Integra LS. It's a fun car to drive with the sunroof open and music bumpin', but if you plan on going anywhere with hills, its a little tough. The inline-4 engine doesn't really have that kick to it I was looking for. I recommend going...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: good reliability, good engine
Cons: seating can be cramped for taller people

I own a 1997 Acura Integra LS and so far so good. The main reason I bought this car was for its undisputed reliability and good reviews (both from various car magazines and personal opinions from friends). The handling of the car is above average and the...

Coupe de Gras

by abbybrooks
Dec 27 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: cute, easy driving, low maintenance
Cons: small for long trips

What a great little car. This is the second car in our family and I usually am the driver. This is fine with me as I picked out this car. It fits me much better than most cars (I am under 5 feet tall) and I can see over the steering wheel without leaning...

Treasure too hard to measure.

by integrags
Jun 23 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great handling, very fun to drive, yet still as functional as most cars it's size.
Cons: Big rear, sometimes have to look around the side to see where I'm backing up.
The Bottom Line: Enjoy it while you're young.

1997 Integra GS. I've owned it for over a year now with about 175 000 km on it today. The last 40 000 were driven by me so you can do the math and figure out how much I love driving it. The only problems I've had with this car were that one of my seat ...

Fun Drivin

Jan 21 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fun, affordable
Cons: Small back seats

Before I bought my 97 Acura Integra LS 3 door, I owned a '85 rabbit. I didn't know what power and performance were until I got into my brand new blue integra. I didn't shop around, I knew the car I wanted. I had thought about the trendy Honda Civic,...

Pros: Trunk Space, Gas Efficient, Reliable
Cons:

Price of tires for 15" wheels, back seat space


The Bottom Line: A good car for the current value. I have not had any trouble with the car and Acura has a good reputation for building reliable cars.

by asnatu
Apr 22 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Power curve. Handling. Looks. Gas mileage (in spite of the power curve) Reliability
Cons: Road noise. Lack of power seat. storage. No Cup holder in the back seat
The Bottom Line: Great little daily driver that also affords tons of fun on the highway and side-streets. A GREAT buy even after many years of usage.

A hot little car, it will not make you want to buy another one for commuting. I have made multiple 1500 mile trips in it and never felt uncomfortable. Great sleeper - Does not look loud and yet is fast enough to blow the doors off poseur racers. It's ...

by puckster02
Mar 19 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Nimble handling, very reliable, great gas mileage, built by Honda.
Cons: Loved by car thiefs
The Bottom Line: If you can find a well maintained 97 GS-R for a decent price,than I would strongly recommend this vehicle for a high dose of the "fun factor" and reliability.

I leased my 97 GS-R from brand new. I run a business and prvious to this car, I leased a new car every 3 or 4 years. Being a bit of a car fanatic, I have always taken pride in maintaining my vehicles very well. Well, the time came to trade this car in,...
