Acura Integra First Drive
Introduction
Though this is basically a sound car, the current Integra is a bit old. And, if you're a driving enthusiast, LS and GS versions of this model may prove disappointing. Emergency handling is sloppy, and braking is just adequate in the LS version. The 140-hp Four provides brisk acceleration, and the five-speed manual transmission shifts crisply. The sporty GS-R version, with a 170-hp Four, is faster and handles better. We found the front seats too low, however. True driving enthusiasts should consider the more powerful but hard-riding Type R. Nevertheless, it's a quiet, comfortable car. A redesign is around the corner.
