ACURA TYPE me a paper on how much this car can be impRoved.

Dec 03 '01 - Updated Jul 31 '05 

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

Pros: Excellent handling, Great teenage appeal, V-Tec magic.
Cons: Expensive, Not enough torque for long trips through the mountains.
The Bottom Line: As much as I like this car, its the high price, plain interior and the mediocre hill climbing power that has me saying,"find a car with more value"

Compared to the standard Integra, the Type R is a true 'go fast sports machine'. It had one of the most potent four cylinder engines available in 1998. The Acura Integra Type R offers race car handling and adequate-strong outright ...

Cons: Too small...painful when you crash, totals in an instant...
The Bottom Line: It's good, but not crash-friendly.

I drive an Acura Integra. Ok, *correction*, I drove an Acura Integra '98 model. Since I couldn't find the "driving defensively" topic, I'll post my epinion under this one, considering this was the car I drove when I crashed.

Pros: Good handling, good engine, great trim levels
Cons: Poor A/C. Not a lot of room in the back seat, Front gets crowded on long trips.

First thing. Before you go buy a car, go to www.personallogic.com and go though the automobile decision maker. I used to study decision making and found that this site had the most helpful tool for helping me make a decision about a car. In fact, it...

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

Pros: Performance, quality, looks.
Cons: Spartan level of human comforts; theft target.
The Bottom Line: It's fun to drive and good to look at; if you're primarily into creature comforts, go elsewhere.

1998 Acura Integra GS-R purchased in March 2002 from a private party. After three months: Looking for a new or used car in the $12K to $15K range, it came down to this or a new 2002 Mazda Protege. I saw a 2000 Integra LS at a dealership, and liked ...

Strengths: This car is the best car on the earth. The car is 195 HP in AMerica 200 in Japan, that is hard to compete with besides the new Celica GT-S. It has very tight handling, is very fast, looks awesome, and just feels awesome to be in. What I also...

Not Your Average Honda

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

Pros: Everything. Handling, Engine, Style, Interior.....
Cons: Lack of power at low RPM, Not for everyone.

Put it in first rev it to the 8,500 RPM red line and drop the clutch. The Type-R will spin it's tires incredibly. Put nice sticky rubber on it, slip the clutch and feel it press you back into the seat like no other car twice it's price. Just remember...

If you are looking to buy a car, whether its a brand new or used, be sure to stop by and check out the latest Acura Integra. As an Owner of a 98 LS Integra, I find my car to be one of the best and reliable at a very reasonable price of under $20,000....

Pros: na
Cons: na

Interior room is hard to come by, especially for anyone over 6 foot. The backseat wasnt intended for anyone over 5'6". Trunk Space is mediocre. And the dash identical to the econo-box civic. SO WHAT?

You dont buy an integra to throw 5...

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

Pros: Super handling, great engine, Honda reliability
Cons: Stiff ride, loud

I own a 1998 Integra Type-R - generally acknowledged to be one of the best handling front-wheel drive cars on the market. The Type-R is for the driving enthusiast. If you want refinement, get a GS-R which is also excellent and has a sunroof. But for...
