Here is my full review of the 2023 Acura Integra A-Spec Technology model with the excellent 6-Speed Manual transmission. Many try to compare the Integra with the Civic Si, but the best part about Acura is the great lease deals. See my 2023 GR86 Review: • 2023 Toyota GR86 Premi...

I think people are giving the Integra too much hate, and I don't think it deserves it. I think more people were expecting it to be similar to that old Integra DC-2 of the 1990s, especially that of the Integra Type R. But we have to remember, expectations change, and times change, and the Integra of the 1990s was never going to be beaten. And nothing is able to be better than that. I think that this Integra has grown on me in terms of design tbh, and it looks better the more I look at it. Also, Honda/Acura manual transmissions are just phenomenal, they never get that wrong.

Outstanding video. I agree with all of your points and for providing more value than many reviewers. I also strongly agree with your manual comments. I was diehard for many, many years. Like you, I ultimately got tired of the half-baked implementations. With the advent of the ZF8 and good dual-clutch transmissions, I made the move. That said, I couldn't deal with a half-baked auto trans either, which keeps many cars off my list. Please keep the strong content coming. It's a head-scratcher for me to see how some channels became popular when the information presented was of such limited value. Keep doing you.

Thanks so much for the kind words and support you’ve shown me my friend I really appreciate it! Yes the properly tuned ZF8 transmissions and other well calibrated Auts are so satisfying while getting great real world fuel economy. A great manual like this does bring the love back for sure.

@lexisnep525 Жыл бұрын

I own one of these, so KZfaq has noticed and recommended every video about it. I have to say I agree with several of your opinions on it, but I disagree in two places: - Idle stop - Adaptive dampers The idle stop system is very helpful for driving in the city and saving a little bit of gas. Genuinely, this system feels good to use because it's in a manual vehicle. If you clutch in, the engine starts. Period. It takes getting used to for the first little while, but you get over it and find it's more annoying to turn it off than to use it and save a little bit of gas. It also helps reduce emissions in the city, which is good because there are people walking around breathing that air! The adaptive dampers are noticeable. Everyone I've shown the system to has noticed even from the passenger's seat. They engage slowly, so it's hard to notice the difference unless you sit and drive it for a bit. It's not dramatic, but it's noticeable to the point where I get annoyed at the road feel outside of comfort mode on some of the messy highways around here. I also appreciate your discussion of the value proposition. The price is always right with an Acura.

@MeynMotorGroup Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information! I hear you on the Auto stop start it is designed well and it is smooth. I unfortunatley couldn’t get anyone to notice a difference with the dampers in the passenger or rear seats but yes there will be a subtle difference taking place. It is certainly a fantastic car and I always loved the value proposition represented by Acura. Enjoy!

My biggest issue with this car is that I feel like they crippled the power so as not to compete with the Type S. I get they don’t want to cannibalize the sales of the S, but they could have easily put 250+ HP and another 50lb ft of torque, and kept the price the same to make it a little more compelling sport sedan option.

@canyonblue737-8 5 ай бұрын

For the exact same price of a A Spec Tech you can get a AWD 5.6 sec 0-60 Mazda 3 Hatchback. I prefer the look of the Acura but you could argue the interior and performance of the Mazda is superior and it’s a much older design.

@floodedmoat2620 Жыл бұрын

My biggest praise of Acura is that they seem to know their market. Most younger buyers will opt for an SI since they’re cheaper and offer adequate enough creature comforts. But the demographics of people who upgrade to Acura are usually older people who still want some fun, while also preferring the luxuries of, well, luxury cars. The bigger question is how the type-S will stack up to the type-R, and what kinds of drivers they will attract.

@darrenmathias9384 Жыл бұрын

So true. They originally launched the Integra in the 80s and 90s as an aspirational car for the upward moving person in their late 20's/early 30's. Thats exactly what this car turned out to be for me as I bought one at age 31. I did not know I wanted this at all, until they launched it and their description of target audience literally described me in every detail. They know their target audience.

Very realistic review. The value proposition of this car is different from the Civic Si. I looked at one and while it's not a 300 hp 9000rpm screamer, it's also not priced like one in todays environment. It looks like a good to great car for the price point, all things considered in 2023.

@darrenmathias9384 Жыл бұрын

@@MeynMotorGroup Regarding the adaptive dampers, I was disappointed that there wasnt a perceivable difference when I first drove the car. But really I was expecting something ridiculous, like Rolls Royce to Civic Type R transformation. After a few months of owning, there is absolutely a significant difference between the modes. Its not in the immediate impact, but it alters how the dampers respond in controlling the body motion, and also in how much lean is allowed when cornering. On a bumpy road in sport mode, the car feels bouncy to the driver (at the expense of comfort). Switching to comfort allows the car to be more relaxed in resolving the body motions so it bounces you less in your seat.

Nice video as always! I really like the Integra a lot as an overall package. Absolutely love the gearbox. It's super annoying that you have to actually pull over and dig through menus to turn off rev matching, as you mention. Agree that should be a button. I will say, I didn't mind the auto start/stop (in the SI at least, I had more time with that one) because it's way more ready to go. Like you press the clutch and it kicks back on, so by the time you're engaging, it's on vs an automatic where you hit the gas and have to wait for the spark first and then go. And adaptive suspension makes more of a difference on bad roads in my experience. I thought it was all a gimmick until I drove my GTI over a super rough road and popped it from Sport to Comfort. But most of the time, yeah, doesn't make a huge difference.

Maybe it's nostalgia, but I've always been a Honda/Acura guy and especially Integra fan. I know it's just a civic si with more stuff and that's what I wanted. I think Acura will release an Integra (non type s) with more power in the future, maybe a gsr version.

@MeynMotorGroup Жыл бұрын

I’m glad the video helped my friend, sadly I have not driven the newest Si or WRX, only WRX I drove was from 2015 and the Si I drove was from 2017. WRX stands out as the AWD option so if that is important to you, that’s a great option and I do know that many people were able to lease a WRX for like $350 a month on leasehackr which is nice. Honda products will get amazing fuel economy in the real world. All of these cars should drive good you probably won’t be disappointed. I personally like the Acura for the looks, hatch, luxury badge and dealer support, fuel economy, and manual.

Great review. I was sort of hoping this vehicle interior just look a bit different. The interior looks too similar comparing to the Civic in my eyes. I know this generation Integra is based on the current Civic platform (and always has been since it beginning of time), but I know Acura can make something different, unique, and special for this vehicle, like they did with the new generation TLX. I can understand their reason to keep the prices as low as possible. My current 2020 Acura TLX has a 8-speed DCT, which I think it's a gem, and it will be nice if Acura offer that transmission on the Integra & maybe other models. Either way, I'm glad the Integra name return to the Acura brand & hopefully it stay around this time.

@MeynMotorGroup Жыл бұрын

Yea they def lifted the civic interior for sure with only some subtle enhancements. Which isn’t a bad thing since the Civic is trying to be upscale kind of like Mazda so this Integra feels much better on the inside then some entry level Mercs. K24 with 8 speed DCT was pretty excellent so sad they dropped the DCT. Would have loved to see that transmission paired with their NA V6

Exactly! The quick-shot reviewers and knuckle-dragger enthusiasts all compared this thing to the Si when the natural upgrade path is from the Civic Sport Touring. Right now, the 2024s are: Civic Sport Touring, paint (all colors cost extra...), manual, destination - $33000 Integra ASpec Tech, manual, destination - $37695 (+$600 for a color other than silver) $4695 for the goodies doesn't seem like such a huge stretch.

@2:26 , which one would you take Accord 2.0 to Integra ?? I'd go with the Accord, cheaper and faster. lol

Fast forward to the end, Honda will end up costing twice as much and this is why I never drive regular cars luxury brand only

@@MeynMotorGroup I disagree. If you compare the cost of taking a car to a Honda and Acura dealer for any type of maintenance, it's a big drastic difference when it comes to the different price factors..

Every Acura comes with 6 year 70k warranty and 2 year 24k mile free maintenance. It’s all on the Acura website and I talk about it in great detail in this video.

for me Kevin, it´s a good looking premium build, interior and exterior, Honda Integra but the car has nothing to do with a luxury brand car.

@@alengreen589 yea but to be fair Audi and BMW or making FWD cars nothing really wrong with that offers more space in a smaller package while being more all weather friendly. Civic is going upscale similar to Mazda so this Integra blows the cheap Benzes away at least they feel much more chintzy

I still say mechanically it’s worst than the ilx dct with the 2.4 6.7 sec 0-60 from a 4 cylinder all they did was put a high trim Honda interior and tail end to raise the price to get more money and called it a day atleast to me since it came out

@MeynMotorGroup Жыл бұрын

But having a new Civic interior is a good thing feels more premium than an entry level Benz. If you buy it right this ends up being cheaper than a Civic

So many people just talk about this stuff at least you’re doing it. Obviously I don’t want anyone to bankrupt themselves or go beyond their means over these rotting depreciating vehicles, I just want to get across to people this doesn’t have to be an impossible task to drive cool cars.

Grew up where everybody had an integra or civic. Trying to like the new integra but im really not impressed by it. Im going to skip it for my h.s. son, he has lots of friends that are jdm enthusiasts and none of them can afford these cars, its the parents.
