I just bought the 23 Apex Blue, White interior! For reference I had the original lift back 86 Integra Manual 5speed-fun car with 118 HP- the rev happy engine was fun.I had the base manual 1990-130HP but just not as fun *200K miles. Stupidly,I fell for hype and got 5 Speed Saturn SL2 130HP- cheap purchase but major engine issues, then 2009 Civic 5 speed with A/C and upgraded radio, Still runs well-looks awful as I wont repaint a 15 year old car! That said the only repair has been clutch hydraulics at 220K! So I wanted to stay in Honda family.

I love the Integra. Had narrowed my choices to more power-less fun, Mazda3 Turbo, better acceleration but terrible user interface (GTI) or Integra.

I was initially looking at 22 Si. reviewers all said STIFF ride-and no damper modes-but great fun. And so I went for or an Integra test drive. Bonded with car-
all felt RIGHT. Of course I did not notice seats being to firm in short drive. Oh well.

I love the Apex Blue! Red in second followed by Liquid Carbon.
Sound is great! I love the interior.
Only thing is I'd like more cushion

Power is great0 coming from 140 HP to 200 is noticeable. Having to shift at 55ish to third knocks the zero-60. But I won't be drag racing.

Looking for slight seat cushion for back!

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on the new Integra Would love to see pics of your old one.

Are you planning to modify it to improve performance, aesthetics, etc. like what some members have done already?

Thanks! Pretty much everything. I'm still in breakin mode-so liittle spirited driving-but it's very quick to respond in sport mode, I accelerates quickly up the long steep hill I drive every day. Audio is great-visibility is a step above my 2009 Honda Sedan-as is everything else about the ride.

Welcome to a fellow 1st Gen Integra owner. I picked the new Integra over the Civic Si and Sport Touring models. Yes seats could be plusher. I’m highly curious about the Type S seats.

Thanks Lauren! II made the same choices. Quite happy about it so far!
