Sporty interior

The Type R's interior has
atiractive sport seats with
excellent lateral support for
fast cornering, and a unique
instrument panel with a
speedometer, tachometer
and gauges for fuel and
engine temperature on a car-
bon fibre-like background
with amber illumination.

Like all Integras, the
Type R has an AM/FM
stereo/CD sound system
with a pair of 1.3-inch
tweeters and 6-inch coaxial
. front speakers mounted in
the front doors, and a paiz of
6-inch rear spcakers.

A new compact air condi-
tioning system is now stan-
dard equipment.

The Type R’s rear seats
offer adequate legroom but
headroom is tight for taller:

Driving Impressions

If you're just looking for
a well-equipped, comfortable
sporty coupe, I"d recom-
mend you buy an Integra
SE, GS or GS-R. Those cars
offer a more conventional
ride, better ground clear-
ance, and more features for
less money.

But if you’re an enthusi-
ast, the added performance
of the Type R may be worth
the sacrifices. The Type R
handles with precision and
stability that you won’t find
in other front-wheel-drive
coupes. There is virtually no
lean whén cornering quickiy,
there’s exceptional stability
in transition from one corner
to the next, and the tire grip
is tenacious. The Type R’s
ride can be a harsh over
pavement cracks and pot-
holes, a result of its stiffer
shocks and springs — but

- highway performance is
acceptable on smooth pave-
ment.”

The Type R’s steering is
responsive, well-weightea,
and turn-in is instantaneous.
The quick steering gives the
driver a feeling of control
and confidence which makes
driving more fun — but care
must be taken to always
point the car in the right
