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...

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...

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.

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...

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 ...

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 ...

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,...

I love my Integra. I have owned two other Integras from this generation and they were both as reliable and fun to drive as my 1997 GS-R. Prior to the Integras, I owned a Honda CRX and the Integra was the logical automotive move.

Pros: Great styling, surprising amount of power, but also great gas mileage.
Cons: High parts and maintenance prices.
The Bottom Line: With an Integra GS-R, you get the power of a Mustang, with the gas mileage of a Civic. Can you say....'No-Brainer'?
The problem with buying a car is, you have to make compromises. If you go after a sports car, you'll get great performance, but you are going to give us ride quality and roominess. If you go after a small car, you are going to get great gas mileage,...

I still miss my Cypress Green Pearl Integra!

Recommended: Yes
Pros: fast, handles like a dream, great looking, loaded with options
Cons: Thief magnet
Man, I loved this car. I bought my 97 GS-R used in May of 1998. I was a complete idiot when I went car shopping--was still driving my 1965 Mustang on a daily basis (I'd had it since age 16) and had never bought a car. Fortunately, I ended up with a wonderful little vehicle. It was reliable; I drove the living heck out of it and only had to work on it a tiny bit right before the end...had to replace the clutch master cylinder. (Frankly, since I learned to drive a stick on this car, it was amazing the clutch lasted as long as it did!) Other than that, it ran like a top, hauled butt, cornered like nothing you will EVER drive for under 20 grand, and looked gorgeous to boot. I put 50,000 HARD miles on it and it never skipped a beat.
Ah, but the end...the end did come. Some cursed person stole it a year ago while I was Christmas shopping. I have a CL now, which is really nice, but I STILL miss my Integra.
