When Jay Leno drove the Type S on his show, he kept saying, “This reminds me of my NSX.” Savagegeese say the gearbox is on par with the 911. I think what Acura have made is a 4 cylinder Super Car.

I owned the 2018 1.5 liter Si. I put 90,000 miles driving it from California to San antonio TX and Arizona. It's a great car. Zero maintenance issues.

I have not been able to stop driving my ITS since taking delivery. Over 3000 miles in less than two full months and my commute is only 2 miles long. The last car I drove that felt this enjoyable and engaging was my 2002 1.8T Jetta I had when I first got my license. This car really does feel special!

Mine was supposed to arrive on october here in canada but got it last week. So far, this is the car I would definitely keep for the long run. Had fk8 and some hyundai N and none of that can top it off. This is the most perfect, fun and reliable car you can buy in the market. No complaints, I just love it.

we need people with money to buy this car like this youtuber otherwise it will become a sales flop

I have almost 13,000 miles on my 2024 ITS and I love it as if I just got it yesterday. Almost got a 2023 boost blue Type R in 2022 but when this got announced I waited. Already had an Acura TLX at the time so I waited. Don’t regret it at all 👌🏽.

Excellent video, your editing and presentation is up there with the big channels. I'm watching all the ITS content there is (trying to push myself over the edge to buy one) and this video is the one that pushes me closest to the line. The driving dynamics are a given but your daily ownership experience was very enlightening

Great review and nice car! I think Acura should have added a few more features since this is targeted more to a luxury buyer. Power passenger seat, cooled seats, moonroof, rear air vents, and rear usb ports would be great additions.

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 love my LCM Type-S! Mine actually came in before I expected it to, but I am less than two hours from the plant. I agree with the HomeLink missing, but hard to really say anything I don't like about it. I traded an Integra A-Spec Tech that I had for under a year, that I traded an '18 Si in on. 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!

Really appreciate this update. I've never spent this much on a car before but fell in love with the Type S when they first unveiled it. This video makes taking to my local Acura dealership a lot less worrisome and makes me even more excited to get on a wait-list for a 2025 model.

Top five clown-priced vehicles of 2023: 1. Civic Type-R 2. Acura Integra Type-S 3. Toyota GR Corolla 4. Nissan Z 5. Ford Raptor

I just sat in one yesterday here in Doral, FL. It was pretty nice. "Only," a $5k mark-up on the 2 they had, but $63k out the door is crazy to me.

The Integra’s interior ergonomic design is just about perfect.

2 years ago for my Birthday; I bought myself a 2005 Civic Si EP3 Silver with black rims, coilovers, intake and a lot to list (clean looking car). Now I know what im gonna get my self for Christmas.

Nice review, thanks. This car reminds me of my favorite car I’ve ever owned. That was a 1990 Acura Legend sedan with a 5-speed manual. That car was so comfortable and yet so much fun to drive, especially with the 2.7L V6 mated to a manual transmission. That engine was silky smooth as a sewing machine. This truly is a Legend reborn. Too bad it took Acura 34 years to do it.

Really nice job! Probably the best quality filming and editing I have seen. Seriously, well done. The content is fantastic as well. Thanks for taking the time to share your thougths Im in the market for a type S. Still considering an RS3 or simply just giving BMW the residual buy out on my X5 x40i drive at the end of my lease in 6 months

The trunk button isn’t a trunk release button but a trunk unlock button. It’s there so you can access the trunk without having to unlock the entire vehicle. And once it’s closed it is automatically locked again.

I have driven mine for 2000 miles now and honestly I love everything about it. I am considering changing the steering wheel to the alcantara one as wheel. But indeed I do love my stock shifter.

I ordered in March and got it in mid August - Red Pearl. Took it to The Tail of the Dragon within the first week. It handles a switch back like nobody's business. Sounds so good and goes so fast.

I know what I will say might be controversial to some, but i really wish they made it AWD automatic.

Great review and filming! Superb quality. Can't wait for mine! (been told about a year or two wait in Canada...)

You just earned a new subscriber. I’ve been waffling back and forth on a few cars including the CTR, GR Corolla,the TYPE-S and a short list of others. The fact this car is 100% American is all I need to hear. We are living in challenging times and I have to support what’s best for the current, and future state of my family. Means more now than ever in my lifetime… TYPE-S all the way now

06 RSX-S owner here. Had my car since 09. Absolutely love that Acura is continuing the Integra bloodline especially with the ITS. Unexpectedly though I still feel like hanging onto the RSX. Still very much love the way it feels to drive despite it being slow by modern standards.

Exclusive to North America because Honda of Japan could never deal with the embarrassment of it being on the road there. Nice hit piece for Acura. Was the discount worth it? This is not the car anyone wanted or asked for. An embarrassment to the Integra nameplate.

My first car with a stick also first time driving a stick, 200 miles from dealer to home. Aside from the ghost reminding me they don’t have their seatbelt on in the backseat, really is a great car

Brooo this video is awesome in production quality with the editing and narration. It felt a bit like a documentary, which i enjoy. Keep it going!

I gotta say something I've truly enjoyed watching this video! The way you grasp my attention to all the details that you've found out about your vehicle makes me excited to buy one. Thank you and you've gained a new subscriber!

Phenomenal review! Very very thorough especially for day-to-day scenarios. Hats off of to you.

I picked up an a spec this year and I’ve absolutely loved it , my uncles raptor had some issues and I let him borrow it for the week while it was in the shop. Long story short he loved it so much he went and bought a type s lol so much more fun I think an upgrade is due soon 😅

that exhaust note is beautiful. thank you for that eargasm

Awesome videography and cinematography mate! Well used sets and shot profiles.

I just got a ITS, I agree with most of your comments. I’m installing a civic rear view mirror to add the home link

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.

I would put type R seats in this. But I would also take it to the track

Just saw one of these today. Man, those rear over fenders are literally tacked on. They weren't even flush with the body of the car. The rear over fender had a gap between it and the body. WILD to see on a Type S with 300 miles.

I still have my 8th gen accord at 271 hp and im happy with it. Not too slow or too fast but the integra will always be a fan favorite in my book

Top class quality. Camera, angles, sound and more importantly objective content. Please keep it up.

At a price over $60k for a 4 cylinder turbo engine FWD vehicle, I wouldn’t touch this thing with a 10 foot pole. Over priced and not measuring up to the performance for the price. At this price I’d rather get a BMW M3.40i X Drive or IS500 F Sprot Performance Premium. This Integra type S is a complete rip off. Rather even get the TSX type S.

I have a stock ‘95 integra and 2020 Si And I love how the Si is better in every way but the Integra it just feels more raw and natural. I love driving the integra to redline. In the Si I’m scared to redline.

What a great video your editing is second to none

CT4V Blackwing is the only car I cross-shopped that had a microsuede headliner as an option. M340i, RS3, IS350/500, RS5/S5, TLX Type S, all didn’t have that. RS3 has much more piano black trimming.

This is what other people don’t look at. When your a father and a carguy you would understand.

I'm honestly grateful I have the A-spec w/ Tech CVT over this one - with the amount of features the omitted in the Type-S over mine. And 21 MPG that is rough... I can get almost 40 MPG regularly. It may not have as much wow-factor, but I certainly still have a lot of fun driving it regardless.

The way he said "Does that bother me? Not one bit" I expected him to sit down in the car, calmly pick up a paper bag, scrunch together the opening, and scream into it.

I have an Civic FD and i kinda like the tyres sound it feels more sporty to me 😂

I appreciate your honesty about 21mpg. The resulting short fuel range would be a deal killer for me. I also like your WRX comparison. My 23 WRX averages 25mpg, and up to 29 on the highway. I can drive quite easily with little to zero boost, due to the larger displacement. Oh, and no torque steer because you get AWD. Whichever you choose, enjoy the ride. No looking back.

I wish the Acura TLX Type S came with a manual transmission. At 6 foot 2 inches I just cannot fit in this car but I can fit nicely in the TLX. It just floors me that a manual transmission cannot be in a mid-sized car like the TLX. I owned a 1995 Acura Legend V6 5-speed in college and loved that car so much. A TLX Type S manual would sell like hot cakes.

i really like this car, but the cost is too high (never-mind what dealers are still doing).

I love the new Integra type S!! I owned a 1988 RS integra and a 2000 Integra LS. I would love to own this one, obviously.

The old Integra, bro that car was my life during such a memorable period in my life...

I wished my TLX A-Spec was this color. I absolutely love the red accents and the aggressive look of the front end. I will be trading my TLX A-Spec in for one of these next year.

When you're criticizing the door switches & headliner, you know you're really struggling to find something to be critical of.

It would’ve been awesome if they would’ve made an AWD package.

That front bumper with those black intakes have me drooling!

I gave up on Michelin for the noise - wonderful tires in other aspects....went to Continentals and they are equal in terms fo grip, better in rain for me, and way, way, way more quiet. Recommended.... If it was only AWD I'd buy one. I know, I know, fwd is plenty especially in this form, but I really am brainwashed for winter use to want awd. Just me. Great video. Super clear, nice balance, and good points on all levels. Really useful and helpful.

new acura type s looking better than lexus

Nice shots bro I see all the angles that I cannot see in other review. Looks amazing

This video is made for and brought to you by Honda fan boys. It’s a nice car for what it is, but it’s not a super car, it’s not a practical car for most for various reasons, and while I love the 2019/2020 Honda Accord 2.0 Sport manual, it definitely was an economy car not a luxury car - this is an economy car at luxury car prices. Don’t kid yourselves fan boys. Just enjoy it for what it is

Nice editting. Lets all thank Honda for still giving us a 6sp. Curious on what u think of lack of rear wiper esp in rain.

Thanks for sharing. Great to see Honda (Acura) made another type S model. It brings back so much memories when I wish i had a civic type R back in the days.

Nice daily driver bro, but im not giving giving up my 2013 Acura Tl base for this 4 banger.. you can't beat the TL's driving comfort, legroom, reliability oh and i have features like rear vents, passenger side, automatic seat adjusters, great sound system oh and she's a straight V6.. Zero turbo lag lol

I’m a long ways away from being able to get one of these but I can’t stop looking into them. Mx 5 seems more like something I could safely afford by next summer

Nice looking car. Whenever I have to bring my MDX for a service/recall, I always drop by the showroom to check out th TLXTS and this ITS. It is so tempting. Someday.

God damn that looks incredible, almost tempts me to try fwd

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.

I agree on the fuel tank. It needs a bigger tank

I had the same experience. People were staring 😳 at me total strangers and then they say nice car. 😅

The question that matters the most is, how much did you pay over MSRP? How much was it marked up?

Beautifully shot video.

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.

Your review hit me right in the feels... Thanks, Man! I love this car 🙂👍❣

I think if the BMW engineers of the 1960s and 1970s remade the old model 2002 Tii today, it would be much like this. No higher praise is possible.

How do you not have more subscribers? Amazing video!

I’ve owned a few Acura Tsxs’ in the past. Loved them. High quality . Great cars. I actually really liked the integra as a kid but never could afford one. I currently have a c8. I think I’m going to buy one of these as well. You only live once 😊 right?

Great review! Test driving one tomorrow. Thanks.

No power passenger seat and no seat memory is wild for a $50k+ car in 2023

Awesome video!! I need that Amazon cubby tray in my life. LCM looks so good and stealthy. Enjoy it in good health 🍻

9:55. That intersection is right next to the High school I went to. Pretty cool to see

THIS was a GOOD review! Thanks, really needed it.

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.

I love my 24 Integra aspec with tech. I haven’t loved a car this much since my 05 TL.

I own one as well, and I think your review is spot on. What a great car. Powered passenger seat, as you said... come on!

When you showed the wireless carplay and proceeded to say it was acceptable, it instantly made me question every other opinion you had on the car.

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.

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!!

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.

Test drove it myself for the first time and I will say the torque steering is pretty obvious, the power is good, if only they would have made it AWD…….. PERFECTION.

Great job. Quality video

Great review! Great photography!

Really nice review. It’s clear that the ‘missings’ you believe the car should have are all beancounter cuts that produce additional income by their absence. It’s surprising they didn’t include those items in this competitive midsize sport segment.

What an awesome video. Great job.

I just paid my 2020 F150 Raptor off & have a built C5Z as a hobby car, I know the manuals are going away, I have 2 kids, & I’m Thinking hard about adding either this or the civic R to the stable As my main DD…

Fantastic review and great job making this video!🎩🇺🇸

Awesome review, I'm glad KZfaq pushed your channel to me! As someone who's been daily driving a truck for the past 3 years the itch for a small fun car is coming back hard. I see you have car seats in yours. I'll have two rear-facing ones, how would you say rear space is with the car seats? I know someone with an sti who has two rear-facing and it is TIGHT. Again, nice review!

Car is definitely a looker. Nice review.

The interior is the only issue I have with this car. It's not that it's a civic interior, but that it's not a $50k+ interior. I wish it has the TLX interior.

That was a great honest car review. Great video and commentary ... worth a "Subscribe".
