Tested- 2005 Integra Type S

woahhh you must have had bad luck man..........

my Type S was perfect..... i only traded mine in because I wanted an auto that was practical in carrying passengers...

what colour is yours?

Magnesium Silver

Rixsy from this forum also had issues with her Type S, which I think they brought up with Honda Aus.

What did they do?

Surprisingly, mine is silver too :s

Anyway, yeah I had a few problems with mine and like you HRC05 I was one of the first to buy it in Brisbane.

Basically my problems went over I think the first 6 months of the receiving of the car and it was a magnet for getting hit and injured :( [Had my front and rear bumper replaced and hit again after that]

But all is well now. Honda took care of it after a lot of verbal abuse.

my one was magnesium silver and i had no issues... honestly...

besides the chip i got on the windscreen... other than that it was perfect :)

Funny so was mine, after honda ordered a new bumper i was rear ended ...hmmm must be the car. hey wait up I think mine came from brisbane.. i remember because there were none in sydney .... yeah it did come from Brisbane ... i waited 4 months for mine

I'm tellin ya, the car as a whole is fine, theyre beautiful and function well.
You jst meerly run into a string of bad luck with yours HRC05.
The DC5S, overall, is a sweet as car!

Yeah but it's not much better than my VTI-R, See every Integra i have owned was significantly better. 86 SX -> 90 LS - 99 VTI-R .... The type S in only a little better, it has more power and hands a little better but thats it. Smaller cabin, cheaper plastics, less precise gear change and ordinary exterior paint. So the priemum for the type S is not justified and the Accord Euros surprisingly agile handling and power is hard to ignor especially when it is 10k cheaper. I think i might look at getting a real type R from Japan. that i heard is AWSOME.

My wifes Euro fitted with Yokohama AVS is a sweet drive.

I think you've been unlucky with your DC5S HRC05. I also have a magnesium silver one (bought new and now done 17k km) and haven't had any problems. Hopefully you can get it all sorted soon.

Nice car! Has all the luxuries, but I'd still prefer my DC2R! Although, I've never driven a Type S, I like the sportier looks of the DC2R!

My 2 cents!
