The Acura Integra Type S Is One of the Best New Cars Under $100,000

Last year the Honda Civic Type R was a top contender for our Performance Car of the Year-as it deserved to be. It is one of the finest front-wheel-drive cars ever sold, it is an incredible performance bargain, overachieving on the track, and its back seat is big enough that you could pay for one by using it as an Uber.
Everything I didn’t like about the Civic Type R (and by everything, I mean “both things”) was addressed by the Acura Integra Type S, a slightly softer, slightly more luxurious version of the same basic package. It’s still got the best shifter south of six figures. It’s still got the performance and engagement chops, as countless comparisons have shown. And it’s comfortable enough to be used as a daily driver, even in places without perfect pavement. They added adjustable lumbar and Acura’s typically excellent ELS stereo as well.
By not fixing what wasn’t broken while improving on a few things for the adults in the room and putting a reasonable, enthusiast-friendly price on the window, Acura has delivered one of the best new cars on sale today for under $100,000. That’s why it’s a top contender for the 2024 Performance Car of the Year.

I think it would have been nice if they kept the Type R seats but in leather with alcantara inserts in the middle...

Yeah the interior of this car is underwhelming for a “luxury” vehicle. It’s why I went with the Type R instead.

I don't wanna say the reason, Type s gets that chair from MDX cuz product planner is a decent size black dude. Sorry if you felt attacked, i'm just saying why it has those chairs from MDX.

@@BStudd1182 it was never intended to be a luxury vehicle. Just think of a Civic Type R that is more enjoyable in the streets.

Surprised to hear Matt was satisfied with the stock seats. They're shared with the normal Integra and I find them to really lack lateral support on track. Also, can't wait to see what lap time Jethro put down! Wish I drove mine at Thunderhill West in stock form.

Agree but you also have to consider Matt is taller and heavier than you. Maybe the ITS better suits him.

There are many heavy V8 performance cars that would be faster Thant this Acura around a track, but would not be a sharp to drive. This car is for drivers wanting a responsive sharp handling car that is well built.

I traded in a G42 M240 for the ITS. Zero regrets. Much more engaging and fun. The M240 is great though.

@4gosselin Ай бұрын

I had an M240 and I felt it was one of the most disappointing cars I've driven. A very numb drive and not that exciting. Now drive a new G87 M2 and it is better. With that said took a test drive in the ITS and no question the Type S is more engaging and just fun to drive. One of my favorite daily's of all time was my 2004 Acura TL V6. Since 2008 Acura has been making such boring and uninspired stuff. ITS is finally a car worth considering. I may pair up with my M2 as my new weekend wingman.

@wingedhussar5528 Ай бұрын

@@4gosselin I have a 24 G87 M2 as well for the summer car. Its a bit better in turns and faster when doing 40 to 100 pulls. The M240xi is still quicker off the line due to x drive. It does make a good all season car. Idk you must have been driving it in comfort mode, which is very numb. In fact I used the Sport Individual option to set the suspension and steering in sport mode and engine and transmission into comfort. And I'm also referring to the G42 not F22 M240.

It's funny how people on the internet often say FWD isn't for the track, and yet people actually at the track, and people who review cars, all think that FWD can be great for track use. It's almost like y'all don't actually go to the track and are just parroting some BS you read on a forum 15 years ago.
