Honda Integra
The Honda Integra is a sporty car that’s a driver’s dream and has more than made a name for itself over the years. Best known as a performance coupe, it offers lively performance, nice designs and a typically Japanese approach to reliability. If you want a car that’s just fun all around and will make you feel on top of the world, this is the one for you.
Produced between 1985 and 2006, the Integra is available in 3 door hatchback/coupe, 5 door hatchback and 4 door saloon versions. It has always been geared towards sprightly performance, and the larger models are suitable for families, but the name will always be recognised as an out and out driver’s car thanks to the simply stunning Type R. Offering huge performance, out of this world handling and cutting edge designs, it’s one of the best cars ever to come out of the Land of the Rising Sun.
While older versions of the Integra were rather conservative and dull to look at, the 3rd generation injected some style, and this was carried on in abundance by the 4th. Nice lines, a pointy front end and self assured personality overall make it very attractive. The interior has undergone a similar sort of transformation, and ended up nicely designed in the latest models. Comfortable, spacious and still quite sporty, there’s a lot to like and loads of kit to play with.
Performance is what the Honda is best known for, and all versions are good to drive. The Type R was tuned to heaven and back, and as a result was just awesome in every respect- fast, grippy, exciting, able to dominate any type of corner and an absolute wild child. It’s even better than some modern day sports coupes, which isn’t surprising. Regular versions were quite speedy but relatively economical and simple to get behind the wheel of. You get a good feeling from any car with the Integra stamp on it.
The abundance of different models means it’s actually very easy to find a used Honda Integra, and Motors.co.uk is one of the best places to look. A massive number of listings, jaw dropping price reductions and an uncompromising approach to quality clearly suggests it’s easy to get a great deal. While the Integra Type R is still very much in demand, there’s also no lack of those either. Second hand cars for sale are by far the best way to go.
The simple fact is that if you’re looking for a car with a sporty outlook, get the Honda Integra. If you want to be stunned beyond belief, go for the Type R. There’s something for everyone, but ultimately Honda has created a truly legendary car that doesn’t disappoint in any area. Why buy the latest and greatest when there’s something like this available from back in the day?
