An Acura is a luxury Honda. Hondas are great cars. Acuras are great cars. A car is only as good as it is kept up. Kids tend to ruin these cars by trying to hot rod them only to make them junk. Have a mechanic look at a car before you buy it. It may cost you a little money but will save you in the long run.

You can never go wrong with Acura, Honda or Toyota. T. Imports tend to have lower maintenance cost and parts are cheaper to replace. They also have better fuel economy, especially now a days wit gas prices. As long as ya keep up wit the routine oil change/maintenance you'll be fine. Hope this helps.

Yes, acura integra is a good cars until people modify it. The same goes to you. it will last you for a long time until you modify you car. so don't try to modify ( put bodykits, lower your car, try to make engine hp goes up, blablabla) because it is not a good idea. if you do, you are going to trash you birthday car someday. So don't let this happen to you. hope this help

its a very good cr...very good on gas and maintainance is very easy also...the only bad thing about the car is that it is prone to get stolen....so make sure you have an alarm system and some other type of security in it...

Acura brand is good car. The only thing you have to do is regular maintenance. The only big problem of Honda/Acura car is the ball joint. When the car runs over a bump with metal rubbing sound, you should pay attention before it is too late. Usually, hard corning or high mileage up to 350,000-400,000km will happen. When it is broken, the vehicle's belly will be touching on the street floor! Overall, it is reliable, fuel economy, low maintenance cost and with no engine problem. You won't be disappointed. Good Luck!

Since I currently own both a Honda Civic, and Accord and a RSX, I think for a first car I would shoot for a CIvic for whatever price the Acura is. You can probably get a later model one with less miles on it and repairs would be cheaper.

You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here - carinsurance.yoll.net

Acura's are amazing. If I could have a car as a hero, I'd chose an Acura.































We own one, a 2001 MDX Touring. No problems! Gorgeous car. Starts/runs/handles like new! Almost 80,000 on it!
