Proof that the Integra R is not for everyone. The bucket seats are low and an inelegant struggle to get in and out of, while the engine is snatchy if not used sensitively in traffic. The gearchange is a bit stiff too, and the clutch engages quite suddenly. So it's more effort than your average Honda in town. And the rear spoiler hampers manoeuvres in the supermarket car park. Still, you get power steering. It would get five stars, but for the noise and the ride - you can't drive flat-out all the time. For the keen driver - and only they will buy it - the Type R is a ball, slicing through corners like a racer and sounding like one too. Terrific entertainment - in short bursts.
