Used 1998 Acura Integra Hatchback Consumer Reviews
great car...even 5 years later
I still enjoy driving this car everyday. In the snow, rain, or sunshine. Overall it just keeps on providing balanced performance mixed with very good highway cruising fuel economy. I would recomend this to anyone. Love it!
8000 REDLINE???OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have just purchased a used GS-R and man this car is awesome. I have a 67' chevy camaro and that is just a monster. But, my GS-R is what I wanted for a long time and finally I have it. It has lived up to my expectations so far and I believe it will live up to them for as long as i have the car. There's nothing like hearing a V-TEC scream all the way up to REDLINE. What a beautiful car.

What to expect from this car.
Owned for 6 years, 135k miles. Never broke down, consistently gets 27 mpg city/32 hwy, manuevers well, and is a fun workhorse. The factory tires really can't handle the car. It is not great in the snow due to its weight, but with the right tires(I suggest B Potenza re730) wet weather and very mild snow conditions are no problem. The antenna motor has broke 2x for this car. No A/C, electrical issues, and the brakes have solid and steady stopping. The factory radio is bad. It is a pooru head unit and not as good as similar cars. The speaker system is worse. Overall, it is a well worth the value. But remember it is still a $20k car.
Great 1st sports car.
I've been driving my Integra (98 GS 2dr 5-speed) for almost 4 years now. In those 4 years I have put almost 100,000 miles on it. I have never once gone to get in my car and it not start. I have never once had it break down. My stock clutch has 156,xxx miles on it, and has hardly any slipping. By far the easist manual transmission car ive ever owned. As far as performance goes, stock itll handle pretty good, and get up and go pretty good. If you put some money into the car (suspension, engine) Itll be a great handling, great performing daily driven car. My car has 156,000 miles on it, I beat on it daily, and it still runs like brand new and begs to be driven harder.
No other car comes close
I've owned my '98 GS-R for nearly 5 years now and have had no problems. The only maintenance I do is oil, filters and tires. I still have the original clutch and brakes even after 98,000 miles! As far as performance goes...no other car comes close. Sure a turbo Eclipse or mustang GT might be faster but, at least the Acura is not a rattle box (in sound and feel) after a couple of years. Mitsubishi has a lot to learn from Honda and Ford will never come close to build quality.
