As with the exterior, the Integra coupe's 4-passenger cabin is a model of functionality and restrained good taste. The front seats are deeply bolstered to hold occupants in place, and each half of the rear seat has an individually folding backrest to allow for one passenger plus long loads such as skis to extend from the trunk. Like all Acura - and Honda - products, the materials used are absolutely first-class.
Leather seats are standard in Special Edition Integras, optional in the GS-R coupes and sedans.
A handsome dashboard holds both an instrument pod - which carries the four necessary dials for speed, rpm, engine temperature and fuel level - and an airbag. Controls for windows, lights and wipers also are well-placed and easy to use.
The buttons for the climate control and audio system are not so convenient, being unduly fussy at a time when interior designers have rediscovered the convenience value of rotary knobs. These are the only complaints one might make about the Integra cabin, and neither system can be faulted for quality of output.
