Acura Integra: The Car of Today’s Youth
The Acura Integra is the car of choice for today’s youth. What makes the Integra so appealing to the youth of today? Here’s a walk through of the many benefits that owning an Integra can have for today’s younger generation.
The Acura Integra is a sporty four wheel drive vehicle which exudes youthfulness and style. The body shape and type makes it attractive for young car owners. The car is reasonably priced and is affordable for the young people who are yet starting out on their own. But the Integra’s greatest come on for its young buyers would be the fact that Acura’s parent company, Honda, has distinguished itself in the field of racing, both in Formula One and the European Touring Car Races. Everything that Honda has learned in these championship races have been applied to its production vehicles. The Acura Integra is one such vehicle to benefit from Honda’s extensive racing experience. The Integra boasts of a 2.0L 160 hp (119 kW) I4 or a 2.0L 200 hp (150 kW) I4 engine. Car buyers can choose from a 5-speed automatic, 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual transmission. The car has a wheel base of 101.2 in (2570 mm), a curb weight of 2790 lbs. and a fuel capacity of 13.2 US gal. It has dimensions of 172.2 inches (4374 mm) in length, 67.9 inches (1725 mm) in width and 54.9 inches (1394 mm) in height.
What’s even better about the Integra is that it is equipped with a VTEC variable valve timing which “increases power at higher revs without compromising low-speed torque”. The Integra which has a “standard, race-bred four-wheel double-wishbone suspension” has superior handling and the ability to withstand various types of terrain and driving conditions.
These attributes, including the Integra’s fuel efficiency has made it a formidable vehicle for most of today’s youth. In fact, many car aftermarket parts suppliers have been latching on to the trend by selling more and more aftermarket part add – ons to young Acura Integra car owners.
