1999 Acura Integra

Sweet looking ride..most dependable car owned.

By Princi (IL) on Monday, May 20, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 237,000

Pros: "Gas Miser-powerful 4 cyl-comfy seats-stylish looks"

Cons: "Road noise-premium fuel-rusting"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"Bought my '95 used in '99 for $10k with 68k on it-now has 237k. Love the stick shift-gets 30-31mpg city driving. Premium gas is recommended but runs well on mid-grade. Road noise is noticeable. Usual expected parts were replaced more than once due to mileage/age. Only left-side dash lights work. Both power side mirrors work, but use plastic knives jammed in the area to keep mirrors from folding in. Water leaks into car from under dash by hood release area when it rains. Put silicone around windshield..still leaks. Moisture gets into trunk (used expandable foam). Has rust spots by sunroof, wheel wells & the body. (Never been in a garage.)"

Easy to work on, Easy to drive.

By Teggg123 (WA) on Friday, April 19, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 171,000

Pros: "Easy to fix, Great sporty daily driver."

Cons: "basic interior for an Acura, no real luxury items."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"The good: The Acura Integra is a great car to keep around. It incredibly reliable and if you do develop an issue, it's an easy car to fix for any handyman. The engine is upgradeable and you can add more horsepower faster then any other car of this era. The gas mileage is great and it makes for a nice sporty daily driver. The looks of the 98-01 Integra are still pretty nice and looks modern as well. The bad: The interior is a little dated for an Acura. It has some perks like power windows and a sun roof but that's the only special treatment you get. It's basic compared to modern cars. Also, like all Honda's or early Acura's, road noise is pretty high."

amazingly fun and reliable little car

By aguy (CA) on Tuesday, March 12, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 140,000

Pros: "extremely dependable and fun"

Cons: "not luxurious"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I bought a 1996 with 37000miles in 1999 for $10,000. I have driven it every day since and now have about 140000miles on it. I have had to do a little routine maintenance such as replacing timing belt, new a/c hoses, brakes etc. but no major issues. It is still zippy and gets 30 miles per gallon. The interior remains intact with seats still firm. The only things that have gone on it are recently the first 2 speeds on the fan and the rear window washer fluid dribbles. The point is the workmanship and materials have led to a very reliable, durable vehicle. By no means is it a luxury car. Road noise is a little high, vinyl and cloth are in good shape, but not luxury appointments. Owning this car has made it hard to find a "nicer" car to replace it with."

Best vechile

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 116,000

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I bought my Acura brand new in 99. It has 116,000, has been very dependable. Only work done on it: new radiator, brakes, oil change every 3000miles, tires.Mostly just the maintanience on it. Now major: timing belt.....should of gotten it changed at 70000 miles but I didn't know. Make sure when the book says to replace it do it before it breaks. Now I have to have new motor. There is very little rust on it. Inside is in excellent condition(no smoking). Outside other that a few rust spots is in very good condition. This is my baby so of course I am going to get her fixed and next time I will change the time belt at about 60,000miles."

1996 integra ls no vtech

By erickchad (SC) on Tuesday, January 15, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 280,000

Pros: "Superb MPGs even at high mileage. runs like a tank"

Cons: "its a relatively small car that only seats 4"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I have owned this car for 2 years... I wanted to make it a high end performance car... but before I just jump into pouring 20 grand into it... I wanted to see what it could do... yesterday it finally bit the dust at around 280,000 miles... I have driven the absolute life out of this car.. and I must say i have never been impressed more... This car has driven with no engine oil, no transmission fluid.. bad cv joints, oil leaks.. My car lasted this long under that kind of abuse... Im glad to say I am ready to start upgrading and turning this car into a high end performance car...I recommend you do the same... =]"
