1997 Honda Integra GSI 1.8 petrol from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
I'm very happy with it
Faults:
Replaced faulty thermostat at 123000 km.
Metal channel around sun roof glass has rusted badly. It looks unsightly (bumps in the rubber that covers it), but has no effect on the performance or function of the sunroof.
The electric aerial has stopped extending /retracting at 132000 km, but the radio still works.
General Comments:
Outstandingly reliable, but it has always been regularly serviced at a Honda dealer.
Interior is ordinary, but has worn well.
Comfort is OK, but it is good to get out of the car after a couple of hours.
Performance is more than adequate for my needs.
Fuel consumption is fairly high - a result, I suspect, of mostly around town driving and an automatic gearbox.
Lift back design and rear seat backs that fold forward are very useful for carrying bulky loads (but a high lip at the back to lift loads over).
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
