Even in 2drs form, it still offers decent rear seat space that few coupes in this size can compare with. Bucket seats are supportive, driving position is superb. What a pity that Honda had not spent much effort to style and trim the interior, it looks rather boring. I'd like to see Peugeot 406 Coupe's leather seats and Alfa GTV's stylish dash.  

The best of Integra remains to be the chassis. Handling is as accurate as a swiss watch, with strong communication between the driver and the road. Grip, brakes, ride and gearchange are all rated among the best. The VTEC 1.8 engine loves to rev at sky-high rpm, it tempts you to press the pedal deeper and deeper. Keep the engine at high rpm and you'll find its exceptional 170hp and screaming are so lovely. Street race the Integra, turn after turn you can find its cornering limit is so high. Even when exceeded the limit, it is easily adjusted back. Few front-wheel-drive coupes can handle as good.

Integra Type R

The VTEC engine received free-flowing induction and exhaust, higher compression ratio, higher precision cams, lighter valves, higher valve lift, lower friction forged and polished pistons and a revised programme. As a result, it became even more powerful - 187hp (DIN), 195hp (SAE) or 200hp (JIS) ! Every Type R's engine is carefully assembled and tuned by human hands, thus it is relatively expensive and rare. 

As usual, all the enhancement in power and handling are accompanied with weight reduction. Stereo has gone, racing buckets replaced the standard seats, thinner windscreen is used.....as a result, it weighs only 1101kg.  

Type R can sprint to 60mph in 6.7sec and top 143mph, although no match for the rocket-fast Fiat Coupe turbo, it is amazingly fast for a car with only 1800c.c. and without charging. More important, Type R handles better than anyone else, with precise body control, sleek gearchange, close-ratio transmission, excellent brakes and still-brilliant ride. The only minus is the steering - 3.0 turns lock-to-lock is too slow and the road feel is not the best among rivals. 

In my opinion, Type R is in its own class. It is not adequate to compare Type R with other coupes like Fiat Coupe and Mitsubishi FTO, because Type R is a road racer. Its performance and handling enhancement come from racing components. For example, without the tower bars, will it handle as precise? without being built by hands, can its engine pump out 17hp more than the standard Integra? Everything has its price. To Integra Type R, the price it pay is the high price - it is likely to cost as expensive as the 2 litres 5 cylinder turbocharged Fiat Coupe turbo.
