I used to own a Black Honda Integra. Gorgeous.
However, I am a female and am not too educated on motor engines.
I only drove the car occasionally, mainly on weekends. One day I took it out for a stretch on a freeway driving at 100km, for two hours straight. I blew the head gasket, it kept on going for 1 hr after that all the way home on 80km. Not bad.
I find they are expensive to repair, otherwise no other problems.
I believe the head gasket went because it never had a chance to truly drive at the speed it would like to. It was always only limited to 60km every other time.
Great handling and I find the Honda V-Tek technology is perfected as they were one of, if not the first to use it.
Being manual, it depends on how you drive the vehicle in order to control fuel consumption. Beware it is not very hard to go over the speed limit. Once in second gear, the car wants to really move. It really needs to go for long drive every now and again.
You should take one out for a test drive and notice how sensitive the revs are. It doesn't take much to put this car in motion.

I certainly wouldn't say they are the best cars out there. They are reliable, but not really cool or the best bang for your buck. Recently, American car companies have stepped up there game. I would really recommend checking out the new Ford Focus or even some used ones. My sister owns a 2005 Ford Focus ST and it is a great little car. It has good gas mileage, good looks, and is surprisingly fast. Another option, if you are looking for a bigger car would be the new Chevy Malibu, some have said, "It's like a super accord, only it's made by GM". It really looks good too. Anyway, don't limit yourself to just one type of car and help support the American economy.
