I Overview:
Acura Integra (I). Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. A compact car with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The 1988 Acura Integra I was produced before the establishment of Euro NCAP in 1997. Its safety features were standard for the era, focusing on structural integrity and seatbelts, but would not meet modern crash test standards.
1.5 (86 Hp) Automatic 3d Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The 1.5L engine combined with an automatic transmission results in very modest performance, best suited for relaxed city driving where acceleration demands are low.
Fuel Economy
Likely the most fuel-efficient automatic option, though the automatic transmission might slightly negate some of the smaller engine's inherent economy benefits.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Engaging DOHC engine options (D16A1) offering strong performance for the era.
- • Exceptional Honda/Acura reliability and durability.
- • Agile handling and responsive steering for a fun driving experience.
- • Practical hatchback design with decent cargo space.
Cons:
- • Safety features are basic by modern standards, predating advanced systems.
- • Interior comfort and refinement are modest compared to later generations.
- • Base 1.5L engine can feel underpowered, especially with an automatic.
- • Older models may suffer from rust and worn suspension components.
