Best car I've ever owned. I fell in love with the thing at first site. Paid wholesale price on the lot, and the car has been making me happy ever since that day. Who ever owned the car before me took very good care of the car and it showed, that's one reason I had to have it. The front view of the car is what makes the car. Ride is very nice, and when it comes to power in its overall small car class, not much can touch it. The braking is very nice and the handling is awesome. The seating of the car is great. You would have to buy a sports car to ride as low. The paint is very nice still after 15 yrs. This car is the most reliable car I've ever owned. Only time it left me stranded is when the alternator went out, and that's only because I'm a idiot and waited till it went out, it gave me every inclination it was going out. If you are looking for a inexpensive car that is reliable, but still sporty, buy an Integra.

Faults:

Car has weak CV joint design. I have replaced boots numerous times and have actually replaced the axles 2 to 3 times.

Speedometer cable was noisy. I ended getting it lubricated, but it would return to its noisy state after about 30,000 miles each time and ended up being replaced at around 225,000 when evaporator coil got replaced.

Engine pulley went out at 165,000 miles and wasn't noticeable until I replaced about 3 alternators in a row.

Air conditioner refrigerant upgraded at 225,000 miles and has provided excellent service.

Driver side latch broke at 190,000 miles.

Power steering pump replaced at 250,000 miles.

AC compressor replaced at 225,000 miles.

Clutch replaced at 265,000 miles.

Electronic controls on radio have intermittent problems at 270,000 miles.

This is a very basic Integra. It basically gets you from point A to B although it handles much like a sports car. Original engine is still in the car.

Frame-less window design is a problem in resisting wind noises and moisture.

Faults:

Anti-lock break light is on. Breaks still work fine, but ABS doesn't. I hear you just replace a bad sensor.

Passenger seat automatic seat belt does not work. Also heard of the door sensors sticking still going to take a look at it.

Check engine light is on. I check the codes only thing is my O2 sensor easy fix, I think there like 8-18$ at auto zone. Could also be because I have no catyalac converter.

Front left break rotor needs to be resurfaced or replaced.

Had 2 10" kenwood sub woofers in it and it drained my battery and fried my alternator my fault for letting my friend install them and not connecting the remote switch to the CD player.

Had to replace the wheel bearings.

This car's engine is AWESOME! With 150hp stock its not bad. Also helps it being a manual.

If you know your cars this is a really easy engine to upgrade! I love working on this car. There are so many performance parts out there for it also.

All the things that have gone wrong with the car are not bad at all especially since the previous owners didn't take care of it at all and always took shortcuts when doing things.
