Read the review first, then the commentariats:
We should identify this silly car for what it was: a rebadged Civic for $7k more dough. What a larf. The engine is utterly and dangerously torque-less. Anyone over 5′8″ is kissing his knees. The rear seats are useless. And it’s so short and low to the ground, any frontal impact with an SUV guarantees an instant and clean beheading.
And insurance? Monstrous. Insane. Don’t even ask. It’s the biggest theft target on four wheels. The headlight assembly can be swiped in 2 minutes using your nephew’s plastic Playschool tools. Insurance companies would rather total the car instead of repairing, just to put the thing in a crusher and save them more hassles.
The Integra was a car for status-conscious Buffys and Brads at snotty northeastern colleges. Good to be seen in, invisible to campus police, useful for beer runs, a neither masculine nor feminine contrivance. And, like a liberal arts diploma from Tufts or Harvard, ultimately overpriced and impractical when one hits the real world…..
DEAR SIR:
True, but also complete BS. :rolleyes:
