ACCELERATION
| LS hatch, man. | GS sdn, auto. | GS-R hatch, man. | Type R | Class Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 5.7 |
Engines rev freely, but lack low-speed power for good performance with automatic transmission. With manual, the LS does 0-60 mph in 8.3 seconds, the GS-R in 7.6.
FUEL ECONOMY
| LS hatch, man. | GS sdn, auto. | GS-R hatch, man. | Type R | Class Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 6.2 |
Commendable with manual transmission. Our test LS averaged nearly 25 mpg, a GS-R 28.3. Expect less with automatic.
RIDE QUALITY
| LS hatch, man. | GS sdn, auto. | GS-R hatch, man. | Type R | Class Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 3.2 |
Firm, but comfortable and controlled. Coupes' shorter wheelbase causes more abrupt reaction to bumps.
STEERING/HANDLING/BRAKING
| LS hatch, man. | GS sdn, auto. | GS-R hatch, man. | Type R | Class Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 6.8 |
Nimble and fun to drive, thanks to sharp steering and minimal body lean.
QUIETNESS
| LS hatch, man. | GS sdn, auto. | GS-R hatch, man. | Type R | Class Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 3 |
Tire noise is prominent and engine noise intrudes at high speeds, but Integras are otherwise quiet.
CONTROLS
| LS hatch, man. | GS sdn, auto. | GS-R hatch, man. | Type R | Class Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 5.4 |
Simple, convenient, quickly familiar.
ROOM/COMFORT/DRIVER SEATING (FRONT)
| LS hatch, man. | GS sdn, auto. | GS-R hatch, man. | Type R | Class Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4.2 |
Ample space for most adults, but snug for larger folks. The sunroof limits head room for 6-footers.
ROOM/COMFORT (REAR)
| LS hatch, man. | GS sdn, auto. | GS-R hatch, man. | Type R | Class Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1.3 |
Coupes' backseat is for preteens only. Sedans have more leg room, but lack shoulder width and head room for three adults.
CARGO ROOM
| LS hatch, man. | GS sdn, auto. | GS-R hatch, man. | Type R | Class Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 2.8 |
Coupes have high liftover, but provide a more versatile cargo space than sedans.
VALUE WITHIN CLASS
| LS hatch, man. | GS sdn, auto. | GS-R hatch, man. | Type R | Class Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 3.2 |
Integra is a premium small car that offsets relatively high prices with fine reliability, strong resale value, and loads of driving fun. Acura also offers a longer warranty and more comprehensive customer service than many makes, Honda included. The Integra 2-door is far more popular than the sedan and rates as a solid, if aging, choice among sports coupes.
