I’m considering buying a Honda Integra Type R and need advice. I’ve searched and found this forum - hopefully you can give me the help I need.
My knowledge of Integra’s is limited - I don’t even know what versions or model variations there are, not even sat in one yet - whats a DC5? I’ve read a lot on review sites, and seen these cars on the road – I have a feeling the car could be for me. I’m not that bothered about comfort, or noise levels, however all-important are real road performance, a driver’s car is what I’m after and is why I’m considering this.
I have a budget of around £8k, £9 sensible tops. I’ve been looking and the Integra in the link below is the version I’m considering buying.

Questions then, and I have many of them. I know there is import Integra’s, how do you distinguish one is an import or not. Are there any spec/trim differences to look out for? Are there any versions of the cars to avoid, certain years etc?
Servicing, goes without saying full service history is critical. What’s the typical servicing/running costs of an Integra, what are they like on fuel. When buying what do I look for, is there anything that commonly fails on them or are they all pretty bullet proof. What are the engines like, not just reliabity, but how do they drive.
If people can share their knowledge/experience it would be appreciated.
Many thanks
