Top speed of the new Integra is 202 kînh., versus 190 kmh for last year's model. The Integra is very mýuch a driver's car. The engine is perfectly willing ta ing up te 7000 rpm. The independent suspension offers a comfortable, vibration-free ride, and the car is capable of being tossèd around corners with abandon without losing control. The manual gearbox is butter-smooth, and the bkes offer fantastic stapping power. Despite its performance image, however, the Integra is still a very practical car. With seating for four and hatchback availability, it can satisfy any small family's needs. Manufacturer's suggested retail price for the RS Coupe with a five-speed transmission is $15,995.
