A week ago tomorrow I picked up my Platinum White Pearl Integra Type S at Valencia Acura in Valencia CA. Although I wanted a Civic Type R none could be found at MSRP or without ridiculous dealer add ons. My car was reserved for another customer who backed out last minute. I was sold the car at just MSRP. It did have a small ding on the top of the hatch which was promptly corrected before delivery. The passenger rocker panel was scratched but the dealer will replace it. Thankfully the part comes pre painted. I should have that swapped out hopefully next week. While there I'm having them install the Copper Accessory wheels. It's going to be sweet. I just love it. My past Integra was a 1996 GSR which I purchased new. I wish I still had it. I previously owned a 2019 Civic Type R in Championship White. Very nice video. Enjoy.

I almost passed on the car, I liked the A-Spec so much. I was scheduled for an oil change in the A-Spec on a Saturday when my salesman called to tell me they were going to build my car the next week, which would bring me to a decision. They had the demo on their lot on Saturday, and when I started it, my wife looked at me, and we both knew, and after a short test drive, the decision was firm! I picked it up the following Thursday, and had back surgery on Friday, but I'm driving it again and loving it!

I drove a 1997 Acura Integra GSR for 17+ years. Great handling car with the double wishbone suspension. Light enough to dance thru any S curves at speed feeling like it was on rails even though its FWD. Acura really did some magic job on that car. Hatchback design so the backseats flipped down to a big storage area. Now it would be injustice not to talk about the 4 cylinder naturally aspirated 8000 Red Line revving engine that with an AEM cold air intake let the meanest growl you could ever imagine with the stock exhaust. It absolutely terrified people in the warm weather with their windows down as I ripped by thru the gears. All for a reasonable $20,000 ! This new Integra Type S looks much bigger ( wider & longer). The turbo engine is a 4 cylinder work of art. However the cost of this car runs $51,000 to $57,500+ ! While the new Type S has a much nicer interior the function is still what the old Integra gave too. My gripe is that it will never be in the price range of most young enthusiasts like the old Integra. It was what 5 or 6 years that Acura got rid of the manual transmissions in their cars. This new Integra brought back the manual to Acura.

Was very close of going with a ITS but ultimately went with the CTR last month. They both drive very similarly(obviously) but the interior of the Type R is ultimately what sold me. Both vehicles have some features that the other vehicle doesnt have and vice versa so its all about what you want to compromise and rather have more when it comes right down to it. ITS has few more bose speakers, better exhaust, rear LED turns to name a few while the CTR has better seats, racing/S2000 style odometer, data log, bigger wing ,etc. They both are great cars either way.

This is an expensive car at slightly more than $50,000 so I would expect a lot from its performance. In this price category there are lots of other very fine vehicles, so choose wisely.

cool car. I've owned all the generations of Integra, so glad they brought it back. BUT, the price is a non-starter. How can anyone look at this without thinking: Supra or M2?? It would be different if it had a fine V or inline 6, but it has the same modern vacuum cleaner over-boosted 4. To help you forget it is a $8K engine, they pump fake sound into it, and make the exhaust do the fake backfires.Acura, re-introduce it at $39K.

Good review. I have over 2,600 miles in the 1.5 months I’ve had mine. I have a 90ish round trip commute. I can’t praise the clutch enough. I have no complaints in the stretches of stop and go traffic. I agree I wish high quality parts here and there and YES it would have been great if there was a bigger gas tank. I average about 21-22MPGs between my commute and city driving over the weekend. I have/noticed interior rattles under hard acceleration/higher RPMs in Sport + does kill the vibe for me. In Comfort it’s not as bad but still present. I get the rattles in the center of the dash and somewhere around the passenger side door/window. The biggest complaint I have is, I feel it’s over priced especially having to pay a 5k mark up.
@tpolerex72829 ай бұрын
Rattles emanating from a brand new $50k car is unconscionable, it would drive me bonkers. You can have a stiff chassis and firmly riding suspension and still have the assembly quality and materials to tamp down rattles. I’m six months in a ‘24 Impreza RS - different class car but a firm riding five door hatch with low profile tires - and the chassis is super stiff, buttoned down and silent af. I still am a big fan of the Integra though.

Historically they had shared a ton of parts with the Civic. It wasn’t until about 2002 when the Integra/RSX and Civic began also using the same engine and transmission that they canned the Integra/RSX. They basically just spent more money to build two of the same car with slightly different bodywork. It’s curious that they’re basically doing this again intentionally. A major difference is price. 20+ years ago the Integra and GSR and Type R were priced a little higher than a Civic, but they were in the same ballpark (within a few thousand of one another). A Civic starts at about 25k today. And this type S is DOUBLE the price of that Civic. It makes sharing the interior harder to swallow. This is more expensive than a base S3 but the interior of that S3 doesn’t belong in a $20k Honda. It’s closer in price to an M2 or a CT4 V Blackwing than it is to a Civic. Which do you think has better materials feel on the inside of the car? It was easier to understand the parts sharing when they were basically the same price.

@@jalee6587 the Type R civic is still about a 10K price jump away. That’s about 20% MORE cost. In 1997 they were basically the same price. The lesser models had a price differentiation and the Integras were a little more expensive (more luxury and a larger engine with more power). Historically these cars were nearly the same cost. Today, the type R vs type S variant are using a lot of the same parts to achieve the performance. In 1997 they used COMPLETELY different parts (other than little stuff like air vents and AC controls). Different sized engines, different transmissions, completely different exhaust, different suspension, different sized sway bars. I don’t know about the wheels and tires … maybe wheel sizes were the same so they could use the same tires?
@Darkstrike05 ай бұрын
I preordered a type-S and they couldn’t get me the spec I wanted and wanted me to “live” with a few choice while marking it up 7k without the options I selected and wait a year. I went with an M4 built in Germany in 6 months got all the specs I wanted without markup. Don’t regret my decision at all and now when I see a type S I just chuckle

I can't get over the fact that looks like one of the newer honda civic with a body kit, In my area that is PA I have yet to see a brand new one lower than 55k and a used one with a little more than 3k goes for 50k, that is crazy!!
@zone475 ай бұрын
Honda and Acura need to study the German cars and learn how to design a quiet cabin in their cars. They haven't got there yet. I like features of the Type S but don't think it's worth $9K over the Honda type R. The high back on the rear of the car makes my back ache just looking at it... I had enough of that with my Type S RSX. I like the looks, the heavy metal flake paint, the slightly crackly engine and of course the Acura drive train quality. Good and honest review, thanks.
