I Overview:
Acura Integra (I). With 134 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~9.4 l/100km). Weighing only 1085 kg, it’s quite light. 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.
1.6 (115 Hp) Automatic 3d Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Still a capable DOHC engine, the automatic transmission slightly blunts the performance edge compared to the manual, but offers smoother, less engaging acceleration.
Fuel Economy
Fuel consumption of 8.7 l/100 km is slightly higher than the manual, typical for automatics of this period, but still reasonable for daily use.

Cons:
- • Safety features are basic by modern standards, predating advanced systems.
