if you hate the cupholders in your civic, you will wanna kill yourself after seeing the cupholders in tegs

antenna is usually fk'd up on alot of hte older tegs (94-97)

leaky trunk
bad rear tail light gaskets
door sounds cheap (rattly) because the lining falls out on the rail.
small glove compartment

I'm 6'4" and I fit comfortably in my teg, but when I put my helmet on, then I hit my head on the ceiling and it gets lodged inbetween the liner and the sun roof slider cover dealio thingy. Other complaints? I need more power, it's squeaky, rattly, and loud, but that's from the loud exhaust, stiffer suspension, and urethane motor mount inserts. I think the sound system is pretty good, but I got the premium sound package and hacked up the wiring for a WRX under-seat sub.

I bought my GSR new and I've taken really good care of it. I don't have any rattling noise or windows problem like others people. I lube the moonroof and window rail to make sure they are always smooth.

The interior of the car still looks WAY better than a WRX or Evo. It only looks outdated when you compare it to the new Honda/Acura or some european cars (notice the word "some").

My only complain about the Integra has to be how uncomfortable it is to go on long trip with it. 1-2 hours is fine, but when going to 8-10 hours, you'll wish you picked another car.

Im 6'4 and in order to get in and out of the car, i have to carefully slide my right thigh underneath the steering wheel and torque my body. Kind of a pain in the rear if you ask me, hopefully I wont get into a freeway wreck with it or im pretty much a gonner... other cons include hatch leakage, ABSOLUTELY LOUSY CUP-HOLDERS, why the hell are they even in there??? sucks when you pick up a 64 oz Super Gulp at 7-11 and no where to put it (but all over the carpet) when you have a manual. You have alot of unsavory looking people eyeballing your car all the time like they want to jack the damn thing, makes me so mad. But even with all the security risks, I love my Integra.

nothing much...just the torque could be better and the fact that it's high on the stolen cars list.

i'm gonna have to agree with the others...
-theft
-low head room
-sound system sucks
-windows rattle (my windows roll up fast compared to civics)
-cup holder is only good for cans of soda
-ac is weak
-no torque
-expensive to get some power out of it
-antenna
-defrost not so great during winters

besides these cons, i dont regret a thing about buying an integra!!!

i can't complain. before my teg i had a camry 4cyl.

now that's a heavy car with no power. although it does have more torque than teg it doesn't balance equally with the fact the teg has 40 more hp in the top end.
