Honda Integra Type-R review covering 1997 - 2000

Tuesday 19 December 2006

If you’ve ever watched the British Touring Car Championship on television and thought it looked like fun, a used Honda Integra Type-R is the closest road going approximation to a proper touring car. Although Integras only campaigned in the less prestigious Class B, much of the important stuff under the skin has a lot of similarities with the mechanicals used in the company’s racing Accords. Just be prepared for some racing car-like compromises. Therefore, you’d expect a used Integra Type-R to be noisy, frenetic and incredible fun on the road and there are no disappointments on this score. Still reckoned to be the finest handling front-wheel drive car ever built, the Type-R has come to symbolise the screaming performance of Honda’s VTEC valve technology. The Integra Type-R is like the first BMW M3, Nissan Skyline GT-R32 and Peugeot 306 Rallye; whilst not being the most beautiful cars around, they nonetheless receive nods of respect from those who know about serious performance.
