Honda Acura Integra Type R Review

Overall Rating

Ridiculous acceleration for a FF car, perfect handling and control, gorgeous sound, and nice looks. What else would you want?

Jealous friends? speeding tickets?

For the true racing enthousiasts with limited funds, I order you to buy this Honda Acura Integra Type R car. New or old, it does not matter-a Honda/Acura engine lasts forever. Even if the 6.5 second time from 0 to 62 mph does not amaze you I have to remind you this is a FF car! And it feels a lot faster. Handling is pin sharp and changing gear never felt better. I once drove a Porsche Carrera 4 and it made me realise the Integra is something special. The Porsche felt extemely boring compared to my Integra. And if you're a tuning fan you couldn't have bought a better car. My Integra has now has 330 hp with the help of a supercharger and it has a topspeed of 195 mph (I also changed my gears) and its acceleration is just sickening! Anyway the Integra type R is a great car which I can recommend to any racing enthusiast.

  HEHE this review got me even more exited about this car, hmmmmm supercharger (drool) thats a nice amount of bhp there
  From a 1.8! if that was my car i would wake up and laugh my self out of bed with a HUGE grin. I have experience of other performance cars such as impreza WRX, M3(scary stuff(FR,330bhp) and a Gti-r,(oooh makes my palms sweaty thinking about them) and im very much looking forward to owning,driving an integra type-r as i love ff(i just LOVE driving).
  Nice one for posting this review its got me fired up for getting my hands on one of these beautys.

  I totally agree on this revieuw, it's the best car ever! If you haven't got a big budget and want a thrill, this is the car for you! I have orderd NOS for my car and it should have 260 Bhp, I can't wait! Only one downside by the way, the engine has trouble with dirty fuel!!! I have ran my fuel tank nearly empty twice and I have had to have it cleaned twice because it kept stalling....Just watch out for that they are sensitve.

  I agree that the ITR is the best all round car you could get if you are a racing enthusiast. The car is damn sexy and comes with great features in stock form (momo steering wheel, knob, recaro seats). The VTEC engine works like charm and truly has that jekyl/hyde personality when it switches between stages from efficient car, to smooth criminal speed demon after blasting past the 5500 rpm mark on the taco meter. The car has gorgeous looks and the interior is nice and appealing. Get this car, it has all the good things you would want in a car.
