I just got this car, and I absolutely love it. I had a Honda fit so this is a huge upgrade for me, 200 horsepower is more than enough for me as it’s good for gas mileage as well. Also it being built on a Honda Civic design is a plus, as parts to repair will be much cheaper down the line than a BMW or a Mercedes Benz. Highly recommend this car if you want a nice luxurious hatchback.

The integra warranty isn't two years. It has 6 years or 70k miles warranty for powertrain and 4yrs bumper to bumper. The 2yr thing is for free maintenance (oil changes). It's the same for all Acuras.

Get the Acura. ONLY use premium fuel. It’s so much better than the civic in looks, ride, and interior materials. And the sound system is CRAZY!!

Great video! Thanks so much for all the info, I’m looking for a car right now and You have been a great help, Cheers!

As I get older, acceleration isn't everything. Comfort and reliability with decent performance is perfect. The Integra is a great balance.

i just got this car last week. i came from a ‘98 Acura CL 3.0L, so yea i love everything about my integra. this car feels like a high end luxury car coming from my old one. the styling on this is beautiful, the 4 doors and hatchback trunk make it practical for anything i need done. i really think they hit it out the park with this one, one day i’ll snag the type s and really have some fun

Thank you I keep looking between Integra vs Mazda! Mazda sedan or hatchback what's better in your opinion?

I appreciate your honest opinion: good stuff. The Mazda 3 is a good choice but doesnt carry the name plate or reliability that the Honda Civic/Integra does. But it is a solid choice. Any Hyundai/Kia - NO! no...a thousand times no. It potentially will get boosted, be problematic and sink faster in depreciation than the Titanic. The warranty is super hilarious. No one in the 20-30 year old demographic is keeping a car for 10 years. The GTI is a solid choice, but the reliability is hit or miss. It is a german vehicle and they arent cheap maintenance wise. But it is a solid choice (heck im considering one). GR Corolla tooo much $$$ dinero. Fun car though. Your integra is a very, very good car. It needs at least an extra 28HP, more torque and a better transmission (cvt stink) from an enthusiast standpoint. It would be awesome to see it with AWD and rear ventilation.

I got the 2023 TLX ASPEC I absolutely love it lucky for me. It was a demo and it had 4500 miles when I bought it so instead of a seven year 75,000 mile I got a 70 100,000 mile warranty and absolute spaceship compared to my last car, which was a Honda Civic.

I have the Integra and love it. it feels mature and the reliability is great. Personally for me 200HP is enough get up and go to merging onto highways. Best thing is no one will try to roll up and race 😆

Right now the downsides still dont outweigh the positives. Alot of 32k with tech and aspec with 5k miles on it. I wouldint touch the elantra N due to the powertrain issues.

Reasons you should get one, for one all of the cars he listed as alternatives, are either not hatchbacks or require premium gasoline like the Subaru. Secondly, the Acura is known for reliability, unlike the Golf, or the Hyundai. Acura, you’re guaranteed a reliable and fuel efficient cruiser. Sorry to call you out on BS But my brother owned a mazda 3 turbo as well, it’s horrible on fuel, doesn’t offer Manual, and it’s just a higher risk of going wrong.

Do you recommend an Integra Base model it was a certified service loaner. It has 4K miles on it and it costs 28K.

i got the ilx 2020 it has 201hp and i love it but my engen is 2.5 dualcluch trans

The SI are still more expensive than the integra (markups), the Mazda 3 only comes in automatic, and the Golf GTI will only come in automatic in 2024, the GR Corrola core trim used goes for 45-50k so that is a big price jump. The Elantra Ns are blowing up around 30k miles so not a reliable daily.

I drove this car,but my mother said we can only get the base that it. It’s a lot of money to maintain this car to.It did think of Civic Si when first saw this car.

I chose mine is ASpec Blue and it is absolutely beautiful. I chose Acura because it is a tried and true engine and hone can work on Hondas they last a long time and will always have easy time selling it when the time comes. Always desirable. The VW I won’t touch unless it’s a lease. The Hyundai looks like it would be a fun car to have and it looks very stylish I just don’t know about long term durability and resale

I recommend leaving those 1.5t stock. Honda really dropped the ball on the design.

I bought the 2024 Integra and I love it!!!.

I had to settle for a Civic sport touring. Guess ill stay on the porch with the little dogs.

i own one too and only complaint is 200hp but already have fbo just going to need to get that bigger turbo from prl

Hey I'm rolling it for an year in NYC with a CVT and I really love it. No such a c 200hp car that gives 47mpg on the highway and 30pmg city. BTW bro got the Golf and it's much smaller car means you cannot compare. Lastly tou cannot cmpare Toyota and Subaru to Honda - Honda is always better and a headach free car you just can't kill it ( and I've owned a Toyota and Subaru). The only think I can complaine is the look. 235/40/18 doesent look good (they did it for MPG) for better apperience it should be at least 265 by 20" and it can handle it. ILS is really amazing the only competition is Audi but you will have to pay $10K extra and more for A5. I test drove the Civic and Integra before buy and it's clearly not the same car - adaptive dapmpers, ELS, Seats, size, trunk, CVT etc. Good luck with Toyota and Subaru... I've owned those nothing compare.

I mean for me the manual transmission makes this very tempting

"Looking like a catfish in the front " had me dying 🤣 💀 😂 😭

This car looks more premium than the civic. Feels more premium too. The Hyundai I wouldn’t touch as resale will probably be terrible after unfortunately the VW is a car you lease. I’ve had 2 VW and they’re nothing but problems e plastic engine parts deep in the engine and longevity and durability not what you would think it would be.

I just got this car and I will say it’s slow as hell. But I also went from an m440i 😅 - just needed something practical at this point. However this car is one of the best looking in comparison to the other similar cars considering. Which was my main selling point. I just don’t know what to do next to make this one a bit quicker without ruining it!

I got a 2012 Acura TL I was seriously thinking about trading mine in for this car im definitely not now.

If I were 20ish years younger the SI would be the top pick. Today my bones Prefer the Integra

I like my mazda3 but the issue i have is the back seat is not really usable and the hatchback has less cargo than the civic/integra. Civics are cool. But im seeing civic hatches going for 30k and the integra going for 33k. Also i'd never buy VW. Unreliable hitler mobiles

Thumbs down. It dynos at 236 the wheels. Acura integras have always been a civic in a suit. No other car feels like this one; easy to get in and out, comfortable seats, great power, its fun and engaging, the suspension is comfortable, all the touch points are great, the 6mt is so good to row through, I love the clutch engagement and the sound system is the best stock ive ever heard. I disagree with most everything you said. This car feels more special then any other new car ive driven and I test drove new cars for 1 year. It feels like an audi or bmw. I drove both. Take your Hyundai, and I will take this and we will see who laughs last in 10 years when those Hyundai fall apart and see recall after recall. Ive done my research Hyundai,Kia, Genesis look great on the surface, but dive deep and you will see that they all suffer from bad quality control issues. Have fun throwing your money away with hard depreciation on the Hyundai, Kia, Genesis brands.

Don’t forget warranty and resale value and YOU bought it!

The bees didn't like the review 😂😂😂

2yr warrant? Drug test this man, please.

Elentra n has engine fire issues wrx is not a smooth ride acura wins

But reliability.

Can someone tell me how these dudes like this guy out here owning these cars sounding like McDonalds workers yet im over here scraping by havin to sell 3 million a year in my sales job

The beep noise is horrible. Busted my ear drums

Lmao at those bees. I agree with your points. The Elantra is very compelling but that face is ugly. Oh snap, thanks for the shoutout.

ngl all these cars get out shined and out done by the e46 m3, you can get it for cheaper than all of them and it’ll last you even longer and return your value, but that’s just me

subscribing because of the bees... and because i see potential on you

So, in summary your top 3 reasons for why people shouldn't buy this car are 1. You personally don't think it's fast enough. 2. The Honda Civic SI is $8k cheaper 3. There are other cars to consider that have more horsepower. None of these reasons really justify why someone considering buying this car shouldn't go for it. Also, the difference in MSRP between the 2023 Integra A-Spec and Civic SI is around $3.3k, not $8k. Obviously Acura is always going to be the more expensive option because it's Honda's luxury brand. The added cost gets you better tech, higher quality materials, and features that aren't available in Hondas like, noise reduction systems, more sophisticated infotainment systems, and enhanced driving aids. If someone decides to purchase an Acura over Honda, they've already taken all of this into consideration. Oh and if horsepower is important to you, why didn't you go for the Type-S instead? Would've gotten you 340hp. Did you have a chance to test drive your Integra prior to purchase?

Hey guy I want to thank you for keeping it real about the Integra, not impressed. It's all about looks and not enough of the things that Really matter at this price point.

I like everything about the car except the engine, It needs that 2.0 N/A 4 Banger

Bro doesn't know the teggy is hatch

You want more horsepower get a big turbo

Reason #4: loud road noise.

I think you're missing the point.

I c ppl compare the integra to the 11th gen si every second and recommend ppl to get that. But I never see anyone compare it to a sport touring civic. I think about this integra as a beefier 11th gen sport touring since they are literally both a civic pretty much, with similar technology and are both more luxurious than an si. Besides you can just tune the sport touring to b a bit faster than the integra right? Shouldn’t b impossible to get at least +20hp outta the civic. And some of the luxury features that the integra has you can just install in the civic in the after market.

The Honda Civic Touring is a better purchase than the Integra.

This person CLEARLY doesn't know nothing about Acura!!! The Integra has always been a higher end civic smh

Don't get the Hyundai, lots of issues and problems

I'm sorry but CVT I had my bad experience with them. Acura you need step your game up period

I didn’t know the integra only had 200hp!😂 My 2017 Mk7 GTI had 220hp stock. So $51,000 vs $19,000; what a joke lol.

I'm sorry but CVT I had my bad experience with them. Acura you need step your game up Acura 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
