FIRST DRIVE: The Integra is back for 2023 and Acura wants to celebrate. On the outside you will final a look that matches with the rest of Acura's lineup with full LED lighting, 18in wheels, framless grill and trunk lid spoiler. On the inside you will be greeted to a red interior, 9in infotainment system, and sunroof. Under the hood is a 1.5L turbocharged inline-4 that produces 200HP & is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox with a LSD. Is the 2023 Acura Integra a better sport compact car than a VW Jetta GLI?

Great channel and great presentation as always sir. The car looks really sharp and refined. This is the 2018 accord all over for me. Initially design seems lackluster and unbalanced, but the more I look at it, it's definitely growing on me.

I'd be all over it. With these gas prices, I don't feel I will be able to maintain my V8 sedan for too much longer. I heard you can get up to 360-400 miles of fuel range out of the new Integra. If it had the blue exterior with the red seats and manual, I'd be all over that, but Acura likes to do the blue on red with A-Spec package when cars go into its mid-cycle refresh, so either I ride this out and wait until they offer it like that, wait until the Integra Type S comes out next year to see what it'll be like or look at the Elantra N as an alternative. The Integra overall does not deserve the hate it has been getting all because it's does not look like a DC2 Integra Type R or a DC5 RSX Type S. The fact that people would get riled up for it using the 11th gen Civic Si's engine blows my mind. Acura is not trying to relive their past. Times have changed. Everybody knows that, but everybody who hates this car just refuse to accept and can't take a chill pill when they know there is an even faster version (Integra Type S) coming out next year. Acura couldn't bring that engine out right away because it hasn't been used for newcoming gen Civic Type R duty yet, but when it does, then Acura will the Integra what it deserves that people ask for. For everybody complaining that this Integra still has 200hp, you need to be reminded that the DB8 Japan-spec Honda Integra Type R, DC2 U.S.-spec Acura Integra Type R, and the DC5 RSX Type S we're all between 195-210hp and with the upgrades Honda made to the 11th gen Civic Si sedan engine and how underrated it is after it was on a dyno and makes 223hp and 233lb-ft (which Honda should have put that on paper) so people would not be crying over a sorry -5hp loss, the new 5th Integra picks up where the old Integras of the 3rd gen and the RSXs of the 4th gen last left off at.

Thanks for the review. Thanks for being the only auto journalist to turn the engine on weeks ago. This is the only car that checks all the boxes in a specific segment. Trust me I've done the research. The only thing that is a miss to me is no panoramic sunroof - goes extra bc it was on the prototype. But at least it has a sunroof. Yes it is better than VW. As VW is more akin to Honda, Acura to Audi. I was a die hard Acura hater until this prototype hit. To all the hate being thrown at this car...just move to whatever manual luxury hatchback you think is better. We can wait bc it doesn't exist. Praying dealerships play nice.

I would think the competition would be the Genesis G7. Around the same price point. You had fun driving it so that tells me that it still is fun. Very nice tour. Excellent camera work. Special thanks to Laura. Salute. Really glad to see this car again.👍👍💥💥

Fantastic review as always and just what I was looking for! I actually did a comparison between the '22 Gti and the Integra. Though both great driver's cars, the Integra has a nicer interior, better feeling shifter and let's face it far far better user interface. So yeah, Integra for the win. I only wish I could spec it with the blue and red interior, but instead I am ordering the same combo as in the video.

Excited to get the new Integra A-Spec! You and your wife Lori always putting together great content. Like many other car reviews, you're driving the car to its limit with the "on-throttle" burnouts and redlines. I'm assuming the engine doesn't have 1000 miles on them yet. Are break-in periods no longer required for modern day car engines??

@@RaitisRides Mr. Raiti, I don't care what these other shmucks say. Acura smashed it outta the park with this new 2023 Integra A-Spec trim. And the 6-speed manual especially for the Honda/Acura will be the last of the last 'Row your own gears' so to speak until it all finally phases out by 2030 for electrification. So when haters miss this chance its gone for good! Mark my words sir~ 👏👏. I cannot wait for the Type-S this fall.

I have a soft spot for VW and have always loved my GTI, but the GLI has languished for years now without significant changes keep it competitive. Even value brands have begun to rival it at lower prices. VW seems content to let it the Golf and Jetta languish into mediocrity as they shift focus toward making their entire North American lineup into EVs shaped like bars of halfway used soap. Meanwhile, Honda is intent on embracing the segment that VW is abandoning. This leaves the Jetta on shaky ground, and the Golf is already a memory unless you get one in GTI trim. VW should take a page from Honda and do something similar with the Jetta. Perhaps turn it into a liftback, like a small version of the Arteon, to more closely compete with the practicality factor and price range of the Integra and Mazda 3.

Looking forward to more! especially when you finally get to go on throttle with the new GR Corolla! edit: wish the Integra had an sh-awd option.

I'm actually seriously considering these two cars. I've been driving GTI's for 25 years, so yes, I like VW and am probably biased. That said, I think the Integra is a much better looking car compared to the 2022 Jetta GLI, both inside and out. It's a classier car. But here's the problem: I've been driving stick all my life, and I want to continue with that. Here in Canada, it's about $12k more to get the 6MT Integra vs the 6MT GLI. Sure, there are some differences in the features: better sound system on The Integra, ventilated seats on the GLI. Slightly better handling in the Integra, slightly more hp in the GLI. I won't go on, but all in all, it kind of evens out to me. So, I don't know, man. I am just having problems justifying the extra $12k. I think because you have to go to the highest trim to get the manual in the Integra, the GLI comes down to being a better value. Going for a test drive in the Integra next week. Maybe I'll change my mind, lol.

Fantastic looking automobile. I really love the design of this car. Several weeks ago I purchased the Honda Civic sport touring. I was almost regretting that decision. But I cannot get my head around the CVT. Yes I have it in the Civic. But this car is 40.000. and I don't understand why someone would let their wife or daughters or wife and daughters set off in a car without a spare tire. Baffling. Throw the micro compressor away and call a tow truck that's what you're left with. And you could buy the spare and put it in yourself there's room for it. But you shouldn't have to at this price.
