That's competitive with today's 2.0 engines.... Problem is, that horsepower isn't very useable in everyday driving. These have no torque down low and you have to wind it up to 8K RPM to access that power. It is a fun little mill if you get the chance to see those revs.

Only downside is the 218,000 miles it has. New shocks or struts can fix that and it would ride like new. The engine also doesn't smoke or knock.

I owned the same '92 GSR in this MW test - Aztec Pearl Green! What a trip down memory lane. One of the best cars I ever owned before someone rammed me from behind and totaled it. Had 130,000 miles on it and still ran like a Swiss watch. The interior still looked factory new. I drove a time capsule. Absolutely 1000% bulletproof in every way. A really fun car that was entirely practical too. The automatic mice belts never bothered me a bit. The only downside was highway cruising which meant 4000rpms at 70mph. That was no biggie for the engine since it revved to 8000rpm, but it "sounded" like you needed another gear and was sort of loud and annoying. When the VTEC kicked in about 5000rpms it was a fun car to rev high. Absolutely no torque until then. I guess the only other downside was some torque steer. But overall it was a fantastic car. When it got totaled I ended up ordering a 2002 WRX. I never warmed up to the 2nd generation GSR/RSXs.

I haven't owned a GS-R yet, but I've had five second gens in over 10 years. I have almost driven them exclusively during that time, save a few months. For me it was love at first test drive and I've loved them ever since. They age very well and are built to last, like Hondas of the time. I've never had one blow up on me, I always lost mine to wrecks. Easy to work on, easy on the eyes, very functional, cable clutch is a plus too. My one complaint is the stupid automatic seatbelts. I can't explain it but there is just something about the 90-93 Integra. For 10 1/2 years now I've been in love with the view of the road over that dashboard, my butt in that seat, my hands gripping that steering wheel and shift knob. I don't feel right without one! Hope to own an Aztec Green GS-R eventually.

I had the pleasure of owning two GS-R models in the iconic Aztec Green Pearl as featured in the video. They were a joy to drive. The engine had a unique sound which made it that much better. It didn't have the high pitch of a B16 yet it wasn't as deep sounding as the B18C1 from the next generation GS-R. I did some rolling pulls versus the next generation GS-R and it held it's own for being 18 horsepower & 11 lb-ft less than the B18C1. It didn't pull away from my car hard at all. I kept right there with the new GS-R.

For those talking about the acceleration times something to note is that Motorweek's time was for some reason incredibly slow. Other magazines tested these generation GSR's to as low as 15.2 1/4mi's with 0-60 times in the mid 6 second range. For 1992 that was incredibly quick for a car in this class.

I got a 90' Integra GS coupe with 195xxx miles, in B-50m (Melbourne blue metallic) paint, and its been great as my first experience with JDM. Its got a cool, kinda silver looking paint with the blue interior. The car just drive on rails, your so low you really feel one with the car. I know its non-vtec, being the b18a1, but it drives, corners, and shifts so nice you don't even care its got 130hp. Would be cool to find a 92' with the b17. Those 94-01's were faster but the DA9 is a little "sexier" looking imo. Great cars.

I dated a gal who's sister had 1 in white. Her dad bought it new and tried to give it to my then g/f, but she didn't like driving a stick. She bought a 98 Corolla instead. So the Acura sat until her younger sister was old enough to drive. By then it was 2009, and the car needed tires, fluid changes and brakes from sitting. It only had 45k on it. After all that was sorted, she drove the car ( like a granny I might add) until 2015, w 77k on it. She sold it for a new TSX, and got $7k from a private sale. I got to drive it just once and it was clear to me that this was 1 fun car! The only real issue was the driver's side motorized seat belt, which would stick about half way up the door, then return towards the 'door open' position. Very annoying.

I test drove a '91 Integra coupe (non GSR) and was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the build, fit and finish, ride, etc. Sadly for me I was totally in love with the new Saturn SC. It was a much sportier looking car than the Integra and the dealer experience was incredible. I drove it for 9 years with very few problems but always kicked myself for bypassing the Integra. At that time it was pretty much a wash in price comparison. Oh well.

Great job with the Retro Reviews overall and especially this one (and the TL Type-S as I own an 03). I owned 4 Integras and all of them were good! The 90 LS was my first new car and I still wish I never sold it. The car could go for miles on the highway tracking like a train, rev like crazy and still get you 30 mpg. Nothing ever broke, faded or rattled. With the hatchback, it was also like owning a small station wagon! Back in those days, you could go a week on gas and fill up for 10 bucks! There were faster cars but I always caught up with those in the curves! I wish some old wise man would have told me to keep this car forever. The last of it's kind is the Civic Si. Better get one while you can.

I wish Acura would go back to its good old days and release some exciting, affordable near-luxury sports cars again. The Integra and then the RSX Type-S were such fun to drive hard for what they were. Now we are given 💩 like the ILX or the TLX that never seemed to be a worthy replacement for either the TSX or TL.

They are just well built cars. Honda was never my thing though . Iam partial to DSM, not JDM. However, I got a 90' Integra GS coupe in B-50m (Melbourne blue metallic) paint, and its been great as my first experience with JDM. Its got a cool, kinda silver looking paint with the blue interior. The car just drive on rails, your so low you really feel one with the car. I know its non-vtec, being the b18a1, but it drives so nice you don't even care its got 130hp. Would be cool to find a 92' with the b17. Those 94-01's were faster but the DA9 is a little "sexier" looking imo. Great cars

This was my fist car, same Aztec Pearl color too. I bought it from my brother in 2000 for $2000.. In 2 years I got 12 points on my license from it:D. This car turned me into a car guy. It was surprisingly quick for what it was- the times they are posting on MW seem low. I gave a few stock Fox 5.0's a run for their money with this car. My friend had an 88 IROC and he could out 0-60 me but on the highway this GSR would pull his IROC. The clutch on this car was cable actuated like a motorcycle so you could shift really fast and hard, it was so much fun. Almost 20 years later Ive owned a lot of manual transmission cars and I finally have a car that shifts better than this GSR did and it's a Porsche. If I could find another one of these for sale I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I still have the spare key and keyfob to it.

The very first vtec in the United States and it’s always forgotten about. The second generation integra is the best ever. I’ve always wanted a 1st with a b17 but I opted for the 2nd gen base model (rally sport) sedan (Db1) with the 3rd gen b18c1 with some go fast goodies. 🥷

I still have dreams that I still own my frost white 91 Integra RS. that has been my favourite vehicle I have owned by far. I also had a 98 GS-R for a time and currently drive a 2011 WRX hatch. But that '91 teg was something special. I wish they still made these simpler vehicles for under 20k.
