Hey brother, regarding my old comment I actually found a FL5 in south Florida for Msrp it was at crown Honda in Tampa it was so worth the 300 mile drive and I get the color I actually wanted! Anyway bro appreciate the words of wisdom which helped me get my FL5!

100 percent agree on the seats

Nice review.

Good video. Just a tip (this may help or not) for your phone charging. I have an FL5 Type R and stopped using the wireless charger. I went to a chord for a number of reasons. 1) charges faster 2) phone doesn't overheat and 3) the sound quality for music on your phone is FAR better. Like your ride man. Congrats on getting one.

Do any body know where’s the dealer sale Type R in MSRP, I’m in Florida. Let’s me know

You can have that piano black center trim wrapped in Alcantara in the after market. Agreed on the seat just make it manual like the Type R. Or if your going to do power seats have it for both and include memory like the Aspec. Everything else just really doesn’t bother me.

Powered driver seat without memory is just crazy dumb. Keeping the weight difference low compared to the CTR was a high priority when they made this car. The trunk button in the remote is to unlock the trunk. It will lock the car once you close the trunk. No need to have the key with you when opening the trunk. Im with you on the manual release button. To disconnect apple car play quick. Just disable wifi on your phone.

bro i have a lexus 2018 350 sport and i don’t have folding mirror neither😢

Oh I forgot the seats, check this out, I wish I could post a pic, I picked up a set of Coverado seat covers for the front, they look amazing, and oem as they are 100% full coverage seat covers, so you can't tell they are covers, anyway they add a look but more importantly more cushion and the heated seats still work. I also picked up for long trips a massaging heated seat cushion that you put on over the seat and then plug in, it has a remote, 8 massage settings and 3 levels of heat too, so for 3 hour or longer trips I bust that out, for comfort. The coverados are great, I love the look, much better than stock in my opinion, plus my seats stay mint, and I get a more comfortable ride.

So I think if you were on the Integra Forums, you'd see that a lot of current Type S owners mentioned these gripes and found solutions for most of the issues that you mentioned. I look at it this way: Cars like these are going to be modded and customized to our liking. Sure it would be nice to have those things from the factory, but they (Honda/Acura) had a price point to meet and I'd rather that Honda/Acura made the car than not. EDIT: What happened to the man bun?😀

For the sunglass holder cover it with Tesa tape(cloth tape).

Most everything you mentioned are legit gripes but the biggest thing for me is no sunroof, that's what I like so all in all I'm happy with my 21 TLX Type S, not that they couldn't have done some things with mine like give 400 hp but I can live with that. Overall I still like the looks of the Integra

Since you asked. The only thing I miss or wish they had left is memory seats. I'm good with the rest, you have to remember it was a challenge to keep this car at its weight and the goal was under 50k$, after all it is a civic. So you start adding all those items and the weight and price go up. I'm ok with the "quirks" as they are since it was for a good reason. We don't want the car to cost 60k$ The car has the most amazing front suspension, and drive train and this is what we wanted, an engaging fun to drive manual and that is exactly what the car is, as is. Also, something I don't hear anyone talk about it is the cruise control, this car can pretty much drive itself on the highway. It will make substantial turns on corners without assistance, at least until the warning comes up. I don't suggest you try it, but people have put a water bottle in the steering wheel to keep that sensor from activating and the car just drives and drives, I love that feature.

You left out the lack of a passenger height adjustable seat, for those passengers that are short and want to see over the dashboard.

I have Acura 2020 tlx with dual clutch 8 speed second hand I have this car 2.4 naturally aspire engine with v tech

With the mission you went through finding the right price, should’ve also done research on pros and cons before making purchase.

all valid request at that price point, Same issues with the FL5... No usb c. No sunglass holder, no Auto dimming review mirror and side mirrors. No LED lights; inside, Reverse and Back indicators... Nothing felt lined, glove box, center console. no back charging ports. The price is a bit much when this is pretty standard in 2024... Thanks for the vid!

To quickly get out of Apple Carplay or Android Auto for that matter just hit the Home button on the screen right!

The armrest is small because you bought a manual Honda. That’s an issue. The integra type s seats fit me better than Type R seats. Piano black is terrible. My friends GTi was scratched in less than 24 hours! The visor lights are terrible. Same in my 2015 Accord. Add some felt padding to the sunglass holder. Ventilated seats are needed. The Kia forte has them on the GT2

Ventilated seats... look into Degreez by Katzkin

Acura cheaped out on the interior but that manual and power delivery in this car is amazing. It’s all about driving and it has good visibility so easy to daily. Yes one can get. BMW for about the same money but BMW driving experience feels bland and uninspired.

Lack of homelink mirror…there is a solution out there now but I’m just saying.. it should of just come with it

100% at this price point u shouldn’t be able to find 10 grips this easily Even tho I know u love the car but damn!!

Hear that @honda and @acura. No ventilated seats is a joke on a 50K car based on a civic.

Unpopular opinion, i hate cars without a sunroof, lol 😆

Why! It's been awhile

You might have already seen this but I saw this mod for replacing the center area with Alcantara: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNJ5d8R61su9f5s.htmlsi=IbJHAnss9AzL4nQ4

Bro you're better off getting an actual luxury sedan.

The comments show that people came to your video hoping to convince themselves they shouldn't covet this ITS they've read such great things about, especially if they already dropped money on something else. When you said you still love the car, denying them the confirmation bias they craved, they get mad at you and drop a nasty comment. Silly, isnt it?

U forget about sunroof and 360 camera

Most of the gripes on this car are made because you paid 50k+ for a Honda civic type R in a tux lol. It’s a great car though but you gotta lower your expectations.

I feel like you can get so many other cars imo. It be a good 35-40k car.

It's a base civic with an Acura badge. Just like all of acura. Honda had lost it's way

1. It’s FWD 2. It’s not AWD 3. It’s not RWD 4. Cost way too much for what you get.

That's an Acura Integra ? That's an ugly looking car. Dude I have a 1991 Acura Integra gsr and it's ten times better than that😂😂
