My GS-R - a modern pocket rocket

by haevolution
Sep 08 '01 

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

Pros: Acceleration, Handling, Gas Mileage, Appearance, Reliability
Cons: Very high insurance rates.
The Bottom Line: Why buy an Acura NSX when you can have an Integra GS-R for $60,000 less?

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.

My car now sits a 82,000 miles...

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

Pros: Interior design, engine specifications, responsive, and reliable.

No compromises here!

by bamagsr
Jan 10 '03 

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

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,...

GS-R: Got Some Rocket!

by djohnston
Mar 23 '00 

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

Pros: Mechanical Nirvana, projector-beam headlamps
Cons: Truly bad factory tires, a few squeaks and rattles, horrific dealer maintenance costs

Acura did the right thing by only offering this car with a manual transmission, you can really only appreciate an engine this incredible if you row through the gears yourself. This also has the effect of making sure buyers of this car are serious...
