Have You Driven the 1997 Acura Integra?

I bought my 1997 Acura Integra used with about 20k miles on it. Now, it has 92k miles on it and it's still in great shape. There's no rust, I've had nothing but regular maintenance type replacements and it still handles the same. I'm hoping to keep it another 90k miles and I really think that's possible.

I bought this car about a year ago, It has 187,000 miles on it and runs like a dream! I've never once had any trouble what so ever with it and love it to death. I've put about 20-24k miles on it and have done nothing but regular work on it. It still has the original battery in it! It's a one owner car that's had all proper work done on time. The 5speed manual transmission is great for handling the steering is great it hugs the road and loves to preform and hates gasoline, The breaking is excellent, I've only had one emergency breaking when i was going about 55-60mph ( dog ran in front of me ) and it stopped on a dime. It takes anything i throw at it (which is alot ) I would defiantly recommend this car to anyone looking for a Quick, Eye catcher that's fun to drive with superior handling

We bought this Integra new in 1997.Best car we have ever owned.Over 150,000 miles and still runs strong.Needs very little maintaining.If Acura still made this car I would buy another one.

I bought this car used in 2005 with 100K miles. I immediately changed the timing belt and water pump myself as I didn't really know service history. Honda OEM parts are quite expensive! No reliability issues in over 70K miles (now at 172K miles). Engine doesn't use any oil between changes (6000 miles on synthetic). AC is cold. Leather interior is not the greatest quality but that could be from lack of care by previous owner; not sure. With automatic transmission, car is slightly underpowered. Have to keep the "revs up" in order to get decent performance. I polish and wax car 3 - 4 times per year and paint is holding up well. Brakes are excellent but did use aftermarket pads and installed new rotors; much less brake dust now. Pads have 30K miles and are still at 75% or so. Handling is excellent; can't believe suspension hasn't softened since I've owned it; corners as if it's on rails. Hatchback is very useful for hauling stuff from hardware store: Had 800 lbs. of concrete in back from Home Depot! The trick to buying one of these "used" is to make sure it's not "used up;" that is driven by a teenager or younger driver. I found mine as a trade-in at the Acura dealer.

For it's time, that car was beloved. For this time, it's still beloved. Great for beginners who want to build a project car and have fun for cheap money, not to mention is a sweet looking car that with the right set up can BOOGEY and look and sound good doing it. Great if you're in highschool and want to pick up some chicks, nothing like a cool fast sports car that they think is worth alot more than the 1500 plus 3500 you put into it to smoke camaros and sit on the floor.

The Integra is super fast or I must just have a heavy foot. The ride is smooth and the comfort level is okay.

Very Reliable 1997 Acura Integra Coupe
by Pablooe from San Francisco, California on Sat Dec 02 2017
This car has met all my needs. Awaits tender loving care by new owner. Used primarily for commute travel to and from school. Perfect vehicle for young teenager experimenting with high performance cars.

Those of us who qualify for admission to maximum security facilities for the automotively insane now have a new reason to froth at the mouth: the Acura Integra Type R.
Available only in “Championship White” and fitted with a distinctive high-mount rear spoiler, the Type R is a low-volume, high-performance version of the subcompact Integra coupe. This 195-horsepower rocket roller skate is so performance-oriented, in fact, that the factory doesn’t build it with air conditioning or a sunroof, in order to save 150 pounds — and thus allow it to accelerate a little faster.
If you work for Acura PR, you refer to the Type R as the “NSX Jr.,” suggesting that this small... Read More
