Default Cons of an Integra

I have taken a keen interest in acquiring a 3rd gen Integra LS for my next car and I would like to hear current Integra owners of their gripes towards their cars whether it would be a LS, GS, GSR etc. Currently I have a 99 Civic and I absolutely loathe the cup holders as they can't hold anything at all, useless pieces of junk. But other than that, I like it overall, but I want a teggy now hehe. So yeah, I just want to see what you people don't like about your Integras.

Thanks in advance.

yeah just the whole thevies thing is the main negative thing about it. Spend a lot of security first.


I was on the zilvia.net forum the other day, hardly any of their cars get stolen, and when they do, they actually pin it up on the forum!! Here on ht, there's like a stolen car every other day!!!

1)windows get clogged up or jammed and it takes forever to close or closes improperly

2) when it rains have to turn up ac high just to keep things visible


my 2 biggest complaints .. well besides some rattles but those came after some mods so not a stock integras fault

I wish I would get the occasional person do that to me. I never get anyone revving at me or anything.

I'm 6 foot and I fit fine.

THen like others have said the rattling. Sometimes my windows will rattle when sitting at a certain closed position so I just raise or lower them a little more

But overall I love the car and is very little i hate about it

about the torque, an ls doesn't really have much more torque then a gsr or type r, it's just that an LS just starts off with more torque. once a gsr or type r gets a little higher in the rpm then the torque kicks in.. so they all have about the same amount of torque, but you just feel the ls torque earlier.

im 6 foot 2 and fit fine, i dont know what BOHEMOTHS are posting on this thread

the rattling is annoying, but that is due to modding as stated b4

and the #1 major con is EVERY THIEF WANTS YOUR ****** TEG! i've had my car broken into 4 times... im so sick of it

the windows aren't that slow... i bet if poeple just put a little grease on the bracket they would be fine...

I love my teg to death... get 1

Stock suspension height for me is pretty damn high. I really don't have the money to change it yet. Also every idiot ricer I see always stares me down.
