The shine hasn't worn off. The build quality is not as good as I expected. Front windows can rattle at times, but we still love the way it drives. The car is still a blast.

Nice--thanks for the updates!

Perfect timing! Thank you.

Great video about your Type S and the quality of this video is terrific. I love the Tuxmat in my FL5 , too!

I saw one on the road the other day, and I was shocked at how aggressive the looks are in the flesh. I was super impressed. I'm in the market for a sports car/sedan. I need to test drive one.

Definitely agree when it comes to Performance Red, as I have the same for my TLX.

Beaaauutiful shots! Great update

Nice review, very informative

You're 100% right about that front lip worry. This has been my first enthusiast car and I learned the hard way backing into spots is a lot safer. Also, the wireless car play issue has to do with an incorrect handshake between the phone and car. Only way to reliably fix it is to do a factory reset of the infotainment system and tell your phone to forget your car. You'll need to re-pair everything but it's fixed things for me. It's been several weeks and I haven't had a pairing error since.

That is a damn good looking car !

Great vid

I owned my e46m3 since 2017 and Honda s2000 since 2008, and I still enjoy driving both cars. Cheers to your integ bro!

Great video. Thank you for sharing. I want one still, even with its faults. However, I will not be spending MSRP + on is. Dealerships better get desperate, becuase the car crash is coming. I'll drive a used A-Spec for $25k before I spend 60k on a fantastic civic type R made in NA.

amazing video. super-useful

I’m satisfied with your experience. Also loved your cinematography personally as a videographer. 👏🏽

People say that this car is expensive but when I was looking into a type r before purchasing my type s , mark up for the Honda were pushing 20k . People were buying a 65-70k Honda civic !

I drive an MDX type S and it's very fun and comfortable drive. Only gripe I have is the rattle I get around the shift buttons. Saw one of these type S Integras in cali not to long ago on the freeway and boy it looks much better in person than on paper and screens!

My 23 type R rattle like crazy on R mode ! I learn to get use to it and now I actually like it 😂 it make me feel like I’m in a 1999 civic type R ek9. 🤭

The lack of a memory seat is the greatest bummer for me when we switch between my wife and I. But it’s still a lot of fun and very engaging car.

I love the Integra Type S but want one as my secondary vehicle.

I went back and forth about PPF on my TYPE R and since I drive so many expressway miles on my work commute I decided to get PPF.

Great review! I find my engine stay warm for a couple hours after driving. Is that normal?

good heads up on the rattles…. What phone mount is that?

The Si of this same 11th gen Civic is the best car I've ever owned. Best all arounder. The little mods you did and things you wished Acura added like rhe front camera are also high on my list. I dislike rubbing my front lip on any thing

I would definitely get heated steering wheel if it’s my daily. Great long term review

Agreed on 2 things for sure. 1. Driver memory on the seat and 2. Home link button on the rear view mirror would be great additions. No sunroof, never wanted one, glad there is no sunroof. Other than that, I'm very happy with the Type S. Well done, Acura.

Nice ownership update! Agree for the most part. As a previous FK8 owner and current Integra Type S owner I would add that the rear brake life is terrible. I mostly just daily drive the car no track use and your lucky if you get past 15k miles on the rears with light use. The rears are used when ever you go around a corner by the traction control which causes excessive rear pad wear. Would be nice to be able to easily disable this for normal driving.

I like your style bro

What ceramic coating brand did you use? I went with Carbon force from CG, btw I also have no regrets 😆 Type S gang! greetings from Vegas🤙🏼

The seats are still a sore spot for me. They just don't feel special and also don't hold you in particularly well around corners. Imo there should at least be an option for re-skinned CTR seats. Gotta disagree about no sunroof as well. If this is supposed to be the luxury CTR that's not as hard-core, they could have easily added one. Especially as the cheaper trim has one. Ditto for the memory driver seat. It's still a good car, but it's missing features given its price point.

Thanks for your video. I am picking up my type S today. Just wondering where you got the black Acura logo ?

Test drove one. Rattles in the car were very there. Love the car...I hate rattles in all cars. I am assuming one can have them removed via warranty, but it is worrisome. Also, wish they had used a brembo rear caliper.

My son has a-spec manual, which I’m impressed with. He is pushing me to get s type, but is it worth $15k more ?

You didn't mention anything about tire wear. How are those 30 series tires holding up after 10k miles? How many more miles do you think you'll get out of them? I'm more concerned about understeer as opposed to torque steer. How noticeable is that?

It may seem like an extremely minor thing, but I had no idea that it does not have a home link option… Thanks for pointing that out.

As a person that spent to have the front of their car PPF'd and the whole car Ceramic. If I re-did it Id have done teh WHOLE car in PPF instead. The Ceramic made it very easy to wash, but with all the chips ive gotten daily driving the front of the car looks BRAND NEW but everything past the front clip has chips in it and paint swirls now. My next car i'm getting FULL PPF'd no questions.

Yup, the rattles. Left and right side. Soooo annoying. My 2017 accord never had rattles.

Totally agree about not needing a sunroof. Also think heads up display is not needed.

…. Everyone said it was glorified ILX now everyone seems to love it.

Yo! Have one too. You don’t need a button to turn on the camera. Just put it in reverse and the camera will override that initial screen you referenced. Now you know! Even easier than a button!

You can also switch out the plastic looking door panels with honda civic sport touring switches. Completly OEM matches the center passenger texture.

Ur nuts dude 10k miles on my tlx type s and only drive in sports plus the sound never gets old

It's this or Audi rs3 to buy?

I got a ‘18 mustang GT I wanna get this as a daily but idk if another manual should be my daily 😟

While I still don’t like the price, I think that this car looks great. I really like the fact that it is a four door sedan, but with a sportier side profile and a six-speed manual gearbox.

Do you got splash guards on your Tyoe S?

I am think you chose the right color.

i still need to ride in this thang

Since the memory seat cutout is there, can you not order the parts from a Civic touring and somehow wire that up? It sounds easy, wondering if anyone has tried it? 🤔

My civic has the same problem with the wired apple car play. It's extremely annoying.

@Auto Enthused, for @5:30 wireless apple carplay and your issue with wired carplay, i have same issue on my 2022 Mini Cooper S. It is reliable with wireless carplay but the wires setup messes it up. I now leave the connection to wireless car play and charge my phone not directly to usb anymore

About time dude Wake your butt up!!

Very nicely done. I have a FK8 Type R LE and a s2000 buyers guide in my KZfaq channel. I will get back to doing videos soon.

How’s gas mileage?

A sunroof is needed maybe panaramic and leather version of the type r seats.

I love the ITS. Makes family drive time as good as the 90’s. IMO

Congratulations, we are at just under 16, 000 kms between myself and wife.

Tire noise is probably my only gripe being 6000 miles in.

im gonna get the gold one!

Genesis G70 or this? Also why didn’t you get floor mats from the dealer? Thanks for another great video!

Once you shift into Reverse that data sharing (don’t get me started on that topic) screen will immediately transition to rear camera. So that’s one wishlist item granted ;)

Nice video!!!! Thanks for doing it :)

Couldn’t agree more. I miss the 360 camera in the BMW I came from most. The infotainment is incredibly slow to boot up from time to time. And I’m glad it didn’t come with a sunroof - I hate them.

I am strongly considering this car, but heard some reports about driver seat moving around. Have you experienced anything like this on yours? Thank you so much.

Closest I’m ever getting cause I’ll never be able to owning one

I struggle with the Apple car play in the Tlx type S I usually do the same solution you do with the wire it’s just annoying tho😭

Basically all your cons about this car can align with mine, I also own an integra just a base model but I've modded it out to be comparable to the type S HP wise, and I got to say my biggest gripe is not having front camera, mind you I'm like 5'7 sitting at the max height possible and its still fairly difficult to see whether or not I'm to close to a curb, So to bypass this all together anytime I park I usually do it in reverse since the guidance is visually clear and little effort is required. as for another con, this is very miniscule but for a luxury car I figured automatic folding mirrors would be a feature in this car, considering I've got the A-spec + Technology pack. Wish the HUD was placed a bit higher but that might just be a me issue since I sit at the max height. Also WHY HAVE HEATED BUT NOT VENTILATED SEATS AAAAAAH THIS TICKS ME OFF, IT GETS SO HOT IN THE SUMMERTIME. And last but not least the flush of hatchback, there's a noticeable panel gap between the rear bumper and hatch that it bothers me every time I see it went to the dealership about it and they told me that's just how its designed and theres no way to fix it. Besides that car is a blast fun car to drive torque steer is definitely prevalent at higher speeds, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy to manage.

OMG. I've watched your videos on the Type S. Just f'ing say you love the car! YOU DO!

can confirm the performance red is spectacular

Is this car suitable for kids in car seats in the back? I think I saw two in the video. I can deal with the lack of discrete air vents because they exist under the seats, but the lack of rear charging ports of any kind is a bummer.

What company carries the suede console? I get mad that I have finger prints on mine daily...

If you know you know 🔥🙌🏼

Im planning to get a tlx type s i wonder how these two compare

Type S owner with Tuxmats here - fyi, the floor mat fitment for the back is meant to tuck in under the seats!

Outrageous prices

Do you have a link for your phone mount?

Can I ask what you shot all of this footage on?

How did the small gas tank suddenly not become an issue anymore?

8:18 I swear the split between people that say the seats are hard, only the passenger seat is hard, the seat bottoms are hard, and the seats are comfortable is insane to me. I don't have a Type S near me that I can go sit in currently but I've been trying to figure it out through all the YT videos LOL. It seems so 50-50 whether people think they're comfortable or not. Also, the ending! I fell in love with the performance red, the ITS looks so good in that color, but the red interior with LCM is hard to beat as well.

Where did you get your steering wheel?

Every Integra Type-S post or video has a brigade of 'it should have this or that feature' when the reality is it's a driver's car with a bit of luxury not a luxury car that's capable. The only thing I wish these cars had is the performance gauges in the center screen like FL5s have. Nothing further. At 10k miles in 10 months not having any noticeable rattles either.

The twelve gallon tank, no sunroof, and no option for a Recaro type seat are my only gripes. Other than that, I love mine. 👍🏾

Front seats should be heated & cooled. The passenger seat should be powered. Memory driver seat should be available. A 360 degree camera should be part of any “luxury” car.

Would love an explanation on why I would purchase this over an Alfa Giulia 2.0

What % tint on your windows?

Wish our ITS's were made in Japan!

Naruto valve stem covers nice

The rear Tuxmats are supposed to tuck under the seats

I have a Red ITS, great car. I agree with your opinions.

Crazy that it has no power passenger seats. Come on Acura!

From the sides It looks like a mini lambo Urus

Can’t put adults in back seat due to lower sloping top

What color is it???

What type of rattling noise are you getting?

I think you should have gotten a Lexus. maybe like IS500 would probably give you what you want except no manual.

Where was this filmed? It’s a beautiful location

It doesn’t have wireless charging??

Rattles in a 50k car is unacceptable. My 2018 gti has zero rattles after all these years.

I own an 07 TL Type S, 15 years now, and to this I look back at it everytime I park and get excited everytime I get behind the wheel. May I suggest owning and reviewing mini vans from now on?

The only thing I have an Issue with Acura Is It still feels like a Honda. Interior wise. Unlike Lexus, It feels like a Lexus. It feels like they’re their own brand but still Toyota. I would assume the Interior Is as Important as the exterior.
