Good Points

Incredible low down torque, fantastic handling for a front wheel drive vehicle, ivtec engine-which feels similar to a turbo


Bad Points

Tends to be rough ride (however for the handling this is hardly a trade off)


General Comments

My husband and I purchased our first Type R in April 2002, a 2002 Honda Integra Type R (Arctic Blue Pearl) have fallen in love with it, and if we could afford it, we would have two of them! The ride handles superbly, very fast and the only problem we have with that is speed cameras!!! Have found so far for it to be very reliable, very impressed with Honda's customer service, and love when the ivtec cuts in at around 6000 revs!

    vtec is like a turbo's boost because you can feel it when it kicks in.

    What do you mean incredible low down torque?? thats the largest draw back with the integra - having to wind it up the rev range before you really start to move. The car lacks torque, with the majority of its performance coming from bhp.
