I've never loved a car more!

Review

I've had my 2000 Acura Integra LS Coupe since April of 2002. Bought it as a certified pre-owned car with only 14,000 miles on it. Luckily my commute is short, so in 5+ years of my ownership, it only has 47,000 miles! Every time I get into my Integra, I feel like I'm on a race track. I've never loved a car more. I hope to keep it until it just won't drive anymore; I can't even look at other cars. Also, it's hard to find a 7-year-old car that still turns heads! Details: 2000 Acura Integra LS Coupe, Voltage Blue Metallic, manual 5-speed transmission, rear spoiler, sunroof, updated stereo (Kenwood).

Favorite Features

Manual transmission, rare color, rear spoiler.

Suggested Improvements

Cup holders could be bigger.

Review

This trusty car is such a treat, after 6 years, I still give myself fake excuses to drive in it. Until I hit 105K, I just changed oil and tires - that's about it. I think the balance between assisted steering and feedback on this car is perfect.

Favorite Features

The engine of course! Everywhere I go, people ask if it's for sale! Maybe it's because I got the factory purple pearl color!

Suggested Improvements

I'm stumped, can't think of anything other than bigger cup holders.

Quality but economic fun

Review

I bought this GS-R new in 2000 while I was still in college. Glad to say I've had almost no problems whatsoever with the vehicle. This was truly a classic design from Acura, and it still gets a lot of interest when I pull into the gas station. Transmission is superb, but the engine tends to have a loud droning tendency when driving extended highway trips. Comfort for tall people is questionable as well. The car drives very well, and the gas mileage has been better than estimated on the sticker...as high as 34mpg. Overall a solid purchase. The only maintanence issue I've experienced was a burned out trunk latch mechanism at 91000 miles...cheap fix at the dealership.

Favorite Features

A sharp looking car in the forest green. Leather is high quality. Reliability has been the best of any car I've owned to date. 100,000 miles and running strong. The 5 speed is a blast and throttle response is good for a 4 cylinder.

Suggested Improvements

Engine sounds nice under acceleration but revs at just over 4000rpm at 80mph...a little noisy. The cup holders are not well placed and can get in the way of radio controls. Also, the dash rattles at idle.

Review

I bought this car 5 years ago, performed all recommended service, and have not had any problem. It is great looking, a lot of fun to drive, and, with the folddown seats and hatchback, I have been able to transport furniture, etc that could never have fit in any larger traditional sedan. I highly recommend this car.

Review

Overall the GS-R is a very practical car to live with. There is enough room for two adults in the back but I would advise against it. The performance is adequate. Compared to the cars available in 2004 it is lacking. However if you know anything about GS-Rs you know that the B18C has more than enough aftermarket support. The year 2000 is when honda/acura switched to OBD-II version 2. Some of the parts that work for the older GS-Rs do not work for this one. If I could do it over again I would buy a 96-99 GS-R for that reason.

Favorite Features

Smooth transmission, reliability, rev happy motor, beautiful sounds

Suggested Improvements

Move the radio up higher cup holders that work make room for adults in the back seat

Review

I bought this car new after months of research and online hunting. It was the car I wanted and the first car I have ever purchased. Although suggesting any improvements won't really effect anything since they have done away with this model I do have only a few suggestions(see below). Overall this car is great. If you are buying it used and the person has really taken care of the care I wouldn't expect too many problems. Mine loves synthetic oil (Mobil 1) and a good thorough inspection every 6 months. A blast to drive and great on gas.

Favorite Features

Sunroof, body design, Honda Engine, visibilty, shifting through the gears/clutch. Leather has really held up well too.

Suggested Improvements

1st underpowered... 140hp with 4 people in the car and air conditioning on low is a struggle 2nd The seats are very hard 3rd The stereo sits way too far in making it hard to reach (I'm 5'11) & the cup holder sits right in front of the stereo

Fun Car

Review

A great fun car. After three years, I still like the peppy response and solid control. I often take this for granted (and realize what it offers when I have to drive a rental/friend's car). Totally reliable, this is the car I'd want to be driving on a lonely dark road.

Favorite Features

Peppy response, Excellent Control

Suggested Improvements

This is not a car if you're looking for comfort. The low profile gives great control but is not very comfortable. It's fine for short drives, but if you commute 100 miles a day, it can get tiresome after a few years.

Review

I was looking at a Celica GT when my wife had purchased a 1999 Integra LS. I loved the way it drove, then I compared features. there was more bang for the buck here. Aluminum Wheels, Sun roof, ABS (which was not included on the Celica GT) 4 wheel disc brakes, 140 HP. The car tracked extremley well and has some get up and go. I always like the style of the Integra and had always wanted one. I am glad that I changed my mind and bought it. I hav not had any problems with it, I do my maintenance religiously. It is fun to drive with great gas milage. I even like it better than the new RSX, but if I ever get rid of my Integra, I would get the RSX.

Favorite Features

Styling, Drivability, Stereo

Suggested Improvements

Seats can kick your but during extended drives.

Review

the car practically begs you to drive it faster. every trip to work or the store feels like a short grand prix. the power is a nice match to the suspension. sure the cupholders are annoying and the top gear should have a higher ratio, but otherwise it is as exact expression of a small street racer as any nsx or exotic. plus 100k miles to the first tuneup and an engine that feels like a motorcycle makes me want to keep this one for a long time.

Favorite Features

the high redline, hydraulic clutch, extra balancing and carbon flywheel make it feel like a formula car. the feedback through the controls is perfect. the body roll is great.

Suggested Improvements

better cup holders. higher ratio top gear.
