'91 Integra GS or '92 Integra GSR.....which is better winter/commuter car?
Okay guys and gals, I know that the cars are very much identical with exception of the VTEC engine in the GSR, but I have not owned an Integra that old before any wondered if there were any 'quirks' to either that I should be aware of?? Any model specific problems or glitches??
I am using the car as a winter/commuter car. My other cars I just do not drive in the winter time, and I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the '90-'93 Integras. There is an off chance that the car may see some track time if time permits, but for 99% of the time it is just driving long distances. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

That said, the 2nd Generation Integra GSR is rare enough to deserve special care - if not outright preservation.
For a general commuter car, I'd choose the GS. 
h: It will certainly be more affordable than the GSR (unless you find an extremely desperate seller).My 2.3¥...

I found a really cool '91 Integra LS Special Edition (all white on the outside) that has been a one owner car.....114,845 miles with service records. I have a feeling it will be in my garage soon.

You should have gotten a 92-93... they look better (front and rear bumper covers, taillights, and wheels.) Good find anyway.

You can call BS all you want....the car is in my garage regardless. Anyone who knows me knows I love Honda/Acura cars, and collect them.
