Love it
Leaky interior.
Lost 1st and 3rd gears.
CV joint replacement.
Not all that fast, but handles well, although I have put new springs and shocks on it as well as wider tires and wheels.
Fun to drive.
Comfortable.
Reliable for the most part, just don't drive it hard like I did.

Start of something good (hopefully)
Car seems to run well, but this fuel problem has me baffled. When the car started and ran for about 5mins, a strong smell of gas came from the exhaust. The longer the car ran the stronger the car smelled like gas. The good news is that it doesn't get into the cabin unless the window is down. The car is in good shape. The motor and trans shift fine. It has a OYB sports exhaust and some sort of air intake on it. The check engine light is not on (hope the bulb isn't blown).My guess is that it's the exhaust or the injectors: maybe the regulator operating too high or dirty injectors. I have a son and this car is my only means of transport so I have to get it fixed. I need help on this site because the car has no tags so I can't take it to a shop yet. Please help me.
Good car reviews on this site made me interested in this car. I don't regret buying it.Yet.

Great, reliable car
Had to replace right tie rod end.
Replaced battery.
General maintenance done.
Other than that, haven't had any other problems.
Great car. Very reliable and would drive it anywhere. A little sluggish on acceleration, but generally not a problem. Quick in corners and really sticks to the road. Gets great gas mileage - 33+ on highway, 25+ city on average. Not expensive to fix and maintain, costs about as much as any other car would. It's a very comfortable car that has all of the options you could want. I would definitely buy another Teg.

This car has been epic, hope Acura is still making them like this
Only had to replace the alternator.
Nothing else has failed.
Replace timing belts every 120K.
Change oil every 3K, expended oil quality is the only reason parts will wear.
Pass. seat worn out.
Never replaced shocks/struts.
Otherwise just the normal expendables replaced.
Most dependable car mfr on the road.
Was shooting for 500K miles, but will keep driving this car past that mark.
Have driven this car 120 miles every day back and forth over Monument Hill in Colorado since 1991.
Every mechanic has been in awe.

Reliable, but if it has to be repaired it can be costly
My radiator, alternator, and exhaust all went out at about 150,000. Transmission and brakes went out at about 167,000. I had a gasket leak in the engine at 170,000.
Car gets great gas mileage, and can be costly to repair. Very reliable.

One of the best made cars in 1991
Had to replace leaking heater core.
Rear wheel wells rusting after 12 years.
15 years and 185000 miles and the car still drives like the day I bought it.
I'm hoping to get at least 250000 miles on it before any major work required.
Even the bulbs in this car last forever. The only one I replaced was where someone ran into me.

I bought my 91 Acura in the Spring of 1991 - brand new. I've taken very good care of it (regular maintenance, oil change, tires, timing belt, tune-ups, etc...). Nonetheless, I've had to replace almost every thing on it!! Little by little it has fallen apart. It now has 108,000 miles and I can't believe I still have it. I've put so much money into it now, I'm sort of stuck with it.
To last reply. Yours was made in Canada not Japan sorry : (Next time check the country of origin before buying a vehicle. Or maybe you just don't know much about cars?

Just bought the same car with no problem like that. Not a good sign to have a after market intake and exhaust on it, probably bean driven hard by prev. owner! Also after-market parts could be the cause to this. Often they cause more problems then they are worth. All I can say is that your engine is not burning all the fuel, probably or maybe running rich. Had another car with that problem (Toyota Camry) but it had a stuck or burnt valve that caused that problem. If that was your case it would be running rough or like “Putt Putt” not smooth. So I can’t say the exact cause sorry.
