You guys in the comments still living in 2019 prices.. we're talking about a kia k5 or Hyundai sonata being almost $30k new.. Integra starting at $30k is a pretty good deal, The lexus IS & Audi A4 starts at $40k

Yep I was looking at a BMW 2/3 series not too long ago. The starting price wasn’t unreasonable but the sport package heated seats driver assistance etc added a thousands more. Once you add sales tax, mandatory tint or pro package etc it’s too much for an entry level model. The 2 is also a *lot* smaller than the Integra.

I got my Integra A-Spec w/ Tech package and it is soooo nice. A lot of reviews talk about that the car is slow, but of course that is the case if you're comparing it to the German competitors it most likely not feel as fast. However, I find my Integra to be fast enough (in Sport Mode) for safe highway merging/passing. Also, this car has no fake vents or fake exhausts, which is huge deal for me in terms of design (compared to ALL German competitors) and most other brands. After 100 miles of driving my Integra, I am very pleased I didn't go with the Mercedes c300, which would have been 15k more and I would have been concerned of the c300 breaking within the near future.

My girlfriend who doesn't drive stick would love this vehicle. Just get the CVT, red interior, white exterior Aspec with good fuel economy in Canada is very important. End of the day don't have to be super quick, practical, good on gas, and looks good seems like a very good package to me.

Beautiful car imo. Just should have 6.5 or so 0-60 car to be fun and not 7+. Type S will be the one. Problem is, there are so many waiting for it, the markup will mostly likely be on par with the civic type R but I am betting it will be more.

Great review, tbh… I have no desire to get to 60 mph in 2 seconds, otherwise what’s the point, or enjoyment? How will you enjoy a car with ridiculous speed on crowed roads? Unless you’re on the one on the planet sure have at it, open road, no traffic, no one to admire the lightening speed drive you did that landed you into the ravine or vacant building 🤷‍♀️. Just sayin slow down and enjoy the smell of the roses as you cruise with this beautiful looking CVT, it just too road packed for the 6 manual. Long gone are open roads. Too many people building and occupying space. Pretty soon there will be no roads to drive on, just walking space, and no need for cars. Great review though, car packs enough punch for me, the new look is enticing enough. Finally was able to enjoy review of this model and not the stick shift.

It just didn’t do it for me🤷🏽‍♂️

I think Acura figured why offer the manual at the cheapest trim when after the first surge of manual enthusiasts is over that nobody will buy it.. so they said, Eff it, if they want the manual we will offer it, but your gonna have to buy top end price and trim..I actually agree with that business philosophy, they need to make some bucks if they are going out on a limb, so i dont blame them a bit.

There's just a bias against sedans. Toyota is killing the Avalon (passes CAFE standards easily as a hybrid), even though it's much roomier than a RAV4 or CRV. Joe and Jane Sixpack have given up on driving enjoyment. They just want something they can easily toss things into the back of, and Mrs. Sixpack likes to sit high. Thank goodness the Camry and Accord are still around.

Then they put a 1.5 turbo (which in this case needs premium gas!) in the Integra, when they could have put the Accord's 2.0T (which is happy with 87 octane), giving the Integra much needed ballz.
