New Car Test Drive Review

Summary:

Still a great coupe in spite of its age.
By Mitch McCullough, Editor-in-Chief, NewCarTestDrive.com

In a class of cars that places a premium on fresh styling, the appearance of the current Integra--though still attractive and distinctive--has become a bit familiar. On the other hand, the Integra has matured into one of the best small sporty coupes (and sedans) in the business. Consider price and value and it all but stands alone. Press coverage has been minimal lately, because there's been little change from year to year, and a new design is around the corner. Until it arrives, however, the current Integra GS-R is still one great sports coupe.

Whether you choose the coupe or the sedan, you're buying value and you're going to have fun.

Overview:

Price, performance, and refinement aren't always compatible attributes, but Acura has successfully combined all three in the Integra family of coupes and sedans. Smart-looking, comfortable, and fun to drive, any Integra represents a satisfying choice.

Our favorite is the GS-R: sport coupes don't come much better than this. The GS-R makes any driver feel like a hero, almost anticipating your wishes, filling your senses with delicious sounds and seat-of-the-pants sensations. Open the throttle, and the twin-cam engine growls with authority and revs like there's no tomorrow. The taut suspension helps it slice through corners with precision.

Buyers who prefer a less frenetic driving experience can save thousands by choosing an Integra LS or GS, in coupe or sedan styles. The former makes the most of the Integra's slashing-wedge shape but a four-door offers more practicality, and some drivers even prefer the handling balance of the Integra sedan.

Integra hasn't changed much lately, and an all-new model designed to replace it is just around the corner. Little more than some new color choices and new carpeted floor mats distinguish the 2001 models from the 2000s. Be on the lookout for special pricing and financing offers.
