- Welcome back! We all knew it was coming, but we didn't know how much of an impact it would have once it hit the road. The 2024 Acura Integra Type-S. It's one of the most powerful factory FWD cars we've ever driven at 320 hp and 310 lb-ft, which is an accolade it should wear proudly amongst it's heavier and more complex AWD rivalries. MSRP: $58,195 CAD ($51,995 USD) Enjoy!

I’m nearing 40 but grew up a “Honda boy”. Hearing type r hits harder than type s. But at my age, the Acura would be my pick. Not a first vehicle. That’s my truck. But this would be my toy. My weekend dose of nostalgia. Missed with brands I couldn’t afford as a kid. No compromise. But still able to carry the kids and wife comfortable and safely
Turning 50 and I drive an EVO X //MR...CVC X //TR (FK8)...and soon the TOYOTA COROLLA //GR...age doesn't...
Thanks for sharing. I am going through the same thing at 42 years old. I’ve had a BMW M3 and M4’s, but really want to go back to my Honda and Acura days.
I'll be 42 next Wednesday, I drive an 05 Acura TSX 5AT, yea she's slow but we all know its about the K24A2 #KeepVtecAlive 💪🏾💯
I would get the Acura, and I think it looks better than the type r.
Agree a shame its not available in the EU
@@BorisBeer24You can import it from Canada and it will be about the same price as if you bought it locally.
@imnotusingmyrealname4566 Almost 60k is a steep price tag, though!
@@frednugent8068 yup, sadly
Seen one in person and it looks much more aggressive and handsome than the Type R.
Agreed, while the CTR has the more aggressive wing, everything else with the exterior looks better on the Integra Type S.
It looks too for me, and they aren't badged, unlike the Type R which woukd hold better value in the future
@@1anrelol no, no newer civic is gonna hold its value
As someone who lives up north, I'd buy this in a heartbeat if it had AWD. I don't care about an extra 200 lbs. Hopefully it can be an option before the production run ends.
TLX Type S with SH AWD
@@albertogonzalez1746love my 2023 Acura TLX Type S
Front wheel drive cars are great in bad weather.
@@keep_it_low_bro Yep, especially if you have winter tires - EZ mode
@@keep_it_low_bro Yep, with the ECMs in these modern cars and the power behind the Type-S, the tires are more important than AWD. It's the best FWD card in decades
I actually like the Type R's interior more but the lack of heated seats is a deal breaker for driving around in MN. Type S really is the whole package, especially when you consider that the out the door price of the Type S is often cheaper than the Type R with most dealerships (Type R in the MPLS metro area is going for $25K above MSRP vs the Type S only going for $5K over MSRP).
People will always pay for the "brand". That, or they simply don't know the Integra Type-S exists.
What a fun looking drive!!
I could listen to the exhaust popping all day.
Best review I’ve seen of this car and my first from you, got yourself a new subscriber. Great stuff, man
Wow! Thank you.
should watch smoking tire
@robseymour2782 nope. Will doze off.
Brian Maske I'd another good Canadian car youtuber with real content just as this
Great video. Suggestions to Acura for 2025MY: offer a compact space saver spare. Rear seat vents and armrest and rear seat connectivity. LogR gauges.
Writing in this video is fantastic. Keep it up
PS - I agree you don’t generally feel a direct 5hp increase. I wonder how the dyno graphs look in comparison, and if the 93 octane is justified by a different power curve, rather than a vastly different expression of peak power.
Wow thanks!
@@RoadsUntraveled you’re welcome from one lowermainlander to another 🤜
nearly $60k for a Honda with leather trim that makes 300hp and is FWD, I can't be the only one who thinks that's an ungodly amount of money for what you're getting. This should be the $43,000 car, the Civic type R should be a $35,000 car. Prices are just too crazy now, you can buy brand-used halo cars for less money. When you're in the ball-park of used Mercedes-benz AMG GT's, the brand new GR Supra, used M3's, new M2's, used M4's, some older M5's, Nearly $15k more than a base Golf R, $30k more than a base WRX, and we're not even factoring in used market for these hot-hatches of yester-year in the high 20's to low 30's. Acura will have to give major discounts on these cars to move them, it's not going to be pretty.
I agree! However I’ve seen already 3 on the streets of Washington,DC. Are there other options, WAY better for value and performance? Yes, but apparently there’s a market for those that want “the older brother Type R” and the nostalgic Integra name that comes with it
You’re paying a hype tax and they know it. Same with other performance cars. Just not as high. Look at what they did with the base c8 vette. Or the z06 model going for 50-100k over sticker. It’s corporate greed at its finest.
51.5k to be exact.
People are paying more for the CTR which is mechanically identical and they don’t complain.🤷🏻♂️
Acura is not going to have to give major discounts to move these. They are selling for over sticker at many dealerships. Yes $52k is a lot for a FWD car with 320hp for most people, but not all. This is a limited production vehicle. Look at what the mechanically identical CTR is selling for. Acura is going to sell every last one of these at 52k and up. Sorry. Plus, every one of the competing vehicles you listed have one thing in common: inferior reliability compared to an Acura. A lot of them are faster, but they’re all junkyard bound much sooner than the ITS will be. That inferior reliability translates into a higher cost of ownership. Plus if you’re busy like me, the last thing you want to do is waste time waiting at the dealership for repairs.
get a used one then
My absolute dream car. You’ve got no idea how obsessed I am with this damn car
Great review. My favorite car of all time was my '89 Integra LS. This car has me drooling. It is expensive, but that's primarily to control demand, the same for the Civic Type-R.
Great video/driving. At about minute mark 11:22, you forgot to tell us your steering setting in individual mode. 🙂
At first I was like "Oh my god, this is the first video I've ever seen with mostly positive comments". Then I got past the first ten and thought, "Okay, here we go again". For whatever reason the vast majority of all Integra Type S comments are negative. In most videos it's like 90% negative comments.
mostly from people who will never be able to obtain or even afford one. i'm getting mine this weekend XD
Big let down for not adding an SH-AWD option.
finally a young reviewer from BC... :) Now i can show americans that we just talk like normal ppl.
Almost bought the 2023 Integra Type S. But opted for the TLX Type S. While I miss driving manual. I needed a all-wheel drive vehicle for New England. But damn I love my 2023 Acura TLX Type S
I'm driving one this week! Video comes out soon. It's an amazing grand tourer. Missing the manual of course but they're totally different cars. Glad to hear you're enjoying yours
The ITS hadn’t even been released yet when I got an opportunity to buy a Championship White CTR and I couldn’t pass up the chance to buy it. I’ve still not seen another CTR in my city. I still do love the Integra Type S, but I’m certainly not disappointed to be driving the CTR.
Lucky man, what city are you and what did the dealership ask you to fork out?
@@1anre I'm in Cincy. The dealership was asking 10k over but I happened to be friends with the sales manager. I ended up paying 5k over MSRP. I hated to anything over sticker, but almost everyone I've interacted with says I got a good deal at 5k over.
@chrissimmons9969 that's true. 5K is fair.
What did your wife and kids think when you drove it home and do you own other cars too?
What mic did you use to record the exhaust note while driving?
In-car stuff was just the lav audio clipped on my shirt. But I also had the GoPro shot, may have blended that audio a bit with the POV stuff, I can't remember. Working on a new setup now though 😁
i see wildfire smokes everywhere :D kelowna? kamloops? :)
Where's this driving road in BC? Looks great!
Look for the curvy lines on Google maps haha. Great road indeed.
It’s a want not a need, same way the car is a want not a need
I want one
How does this compare to the 230i from an engagement perspective?
Not even comparable. The ITS is superior by a long way.
Hmm I'd personally like to see it painted a nice blue.
Yes.
@RoadsUntraveled I mean, some cars look amazing in certain colors. A Ferrari in Lamborghini Verde Mantis green 🤮. But this in say a Bayside Blue from an R34... I'd be ok with that.
They do have Blue. It's called Apex Blue Pearl. I actually put in an order for Blue with a black interior, but I have only seen videos of the Blue, with a White (Orchid) interior, so I'm not feeling optimistic right now. The Integra Type S is in such limited supply that I don't even have an estimated delivery date.
Smoked one of these new type-s integras no sweat, and a 2024 wrx. My car: B8 Audi S4. It's no competition for my old Audi lol...Common catchup.
No one cares. Your Audi is a boring car with poor engagement.
Even today the S4 isn't no match to the handling, engagement, agility and curve grip the ITS has.
@@Marbind hahahaha quality and timeless design will always be valued
@@Exotic_Flash it will?
Last time I checked audi isn’t a brand known for low depreciation 🤣
@@Marbind oh bro smh you an Honda fan boy of course you not gona know 😂🧒
Can’t decide between type s or Nissan z
Does the Type-S have an SH AWD option?
Nope. If it did, it would be a an entirely different animal. SH-AWD is phenomenal.
@@RoadsUntraveledit will give up agility and top end passing power. Thanks to the added weight and higher drivetrain loss that are typical with awd systems.
and it'd likely be automatic.@@Marbind
Luckily, the Canadian Type S and Type R came with the Heated seats and heated steering wheel
You forgot the most important part to tell us which of the two brothers you'd be picking as your noble stead around Vancouver
I took delivery in August, and I am still learning how to launch this thing. Second gear is the way to go, but still working on the RPM. Presently, I get a lot of wheel hop and torque steer.
Isn't a car designed to launch hard anyway.
wish the ITS came with bucket seats.
This the Car I buy I ever get Rich. You Right im Greedy. id buy 2 maybe 3..🤨
The power is different, Type S is quicker in the straights.
You mean the Type R's "spoiled younger brother.."
The Integra was the first with the Type R badge. Acura just decided to differentiate and go with Type S.
@@eleisonv3510 Thats not the point. We're talking about the 2024 Type S here. 2024 Type S came out after the 2022 Type R. Hence younger brother.
No AWD huh? Try driving this up and down a hill while it rains or snows. It’s my favorite car out rn but I’ll need some extra grippy tires
I have zero problems going uphill raining. 🤷♂
Thats a beautiful honda crosstour!
If this is a crosstour, i'd love to see the Integra!
You must be blind.
@@bj10jgo yup even a blind person knows it looks like a crosstour
@@gremate Crosstour is a higher height and is a crossover. The integra is a sedan with a lower height. Get your eyes check man. lol
@@bj10jgo so you're saying because it has a higher height it's different? Jesus that is the worst logic ever lmao
Man i just wanted it to be 2 door coupe.....Its the Integra that everyone wanted. 4 doors are fugly IMO
Beautiful car, indeed. While I do like the exhaust pops, I can't get past the fact that these cars (CTR as well) sound like a vacuum cleaners from the drivers seat. These utilitarian sounding DI turbo engines will never match the music of Honda's previous all stars. I'm talking about the all the naturally aspirated, big cam, angry sounding induction noises that came from the B, the H, the F, and then K series engines. Or let's be honest, ANY big cam N/A 4 cylinder, from any manfacturer that likes to rev, they just have more emotion... more aggresive sound... I'm not hating on forced induction, but they will never sound like those. Sometimes, it's not always about power output. Unfortunately, these symphonic champions I speak of were meant for lightweight vehicles... Thanks to modern day safety regulations, (AKA, heavy assed cars) it has become difficult to maintain 'sportiness' without now going forced indction... And that makes me sad.
its not the safety, its the emissions regulations. also check out an N car from hyundai
@@ShaiyanHossain Yes, it's emmisions standards too (when it comes to the engines)... But the extra weight gain has come from improvments to safety and collision standards. All cars are taller and more bloated now. :(
Which performance cars do you own today
I own a 21 2SS 1le camaro i debating on this or a 24 tlx typs s i need somthing more praticle and its prob going to be the tlx but this looks like alot more fun
10K less an more ppl would've consider 310hp but not a 55K markup
Im sorry, didn't knew that there is a correlation between engine horsepower and car price.
You left out all the engineering responsible of making this car one of the best handling FWD that the world had seen. Better than many self called sports cars out there.
@@Marbind I think most people who do their research and in the market for a sporty vehicle consider how things like market value, dealer mark-up, cost-of-ownership, and inflation affect your investment. Sure, the vehicle probably handles well, decent power for a fwd car, has all around great reviews, but I care less about initial impressions compared to a long-term review (@least 9-10 months) no offense to the video. Regardless, consumers have to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze, unfortunately, for myself, I can't see how the Type-$ sitting at the price point its at with the power-weight ratio it has would be a better option than another vehicle in its class or a vehicle built as a sports car 1st at a similar price or lesser (i.e., 2022 Mustang, Camaro, BRZ, Miata, Boxer).
@@jraymond6062 if you only value power to weight ratio then this isn’t the car.
Others value how balanced the car is.
It can corner, brake, handle extremely well. Plus has decent cargo and passenger space.
Not new car out there do all these stuff better for less money if you consider the whole pkg and not only power to weight ratio.
As much as I like what Acura did to bring back the legendary Intergra, awd all day for me..Can't beat the handling capability compared to putting all that power to the front wheels. Let's not try to hide the fact that 320 hp is alot!
The CTR in fact outhandles all its AWD competitors. In both subjective feel and lap times. And its fwd..
Meanwhile the CTR can do quicker lap times than a Focus RS, Golf R, STI Type RA, Corolla GR Morizo. All of them AWD.
I only know of one recorded lap run of the ITS that posted the same time as the CTR but that was in throttle house track that is notoriously know to be old and bumpy.
Drive in simple rain storm and u will know awd dominateswhere as the typ s will spin badly
AWD only helps during hard acceleration events.
It won't help you corner or brake faster on rainy days.
Driving aggressively in inclement weather is plain stupid anyway.
Sincerely an AWD lover who currently owns an FWD super sport compact.
This thing is great. But, it is too close in price to an M2 or something similar to be a consideration.
$50,800(ITS) vs $64,700(M2) *Excludes destination fee on both.
When you equip the BMW with the same standard features that the Integra has you will end up with a 14K gap. The base M2 is missing parking sensors, HUD, and driving assist.
Don't know you but 14K is a lot of money. That isn't "too close".
This isn't considering that the rear seats are meant for kids so they are almost useless compared to the ones found in the Acura.
#Facts
Close to M2? LOL. You must be smoking crack because the M2 is way more and the overall cost of maintenance.
Just can’t get over how big this car is
That’s my thing with this and the R, they’re huge.
@@LateNightDateNight I haven’t seen the r in person but on video it doesn’t look as bad as the Acura but either way I’d imagine you’d prefer a coupe like the rest of us
@@Erkkremlinklum 100%. I’d love to get another hot hatch, on a list to get a GR Circuit @ MSRP and will probably wait it out. Love small vehicles
@@LateNightDateNight if you love small vehicles do yourself a favor and pick up a nd2 miata. Best decision I ever made
I believe it.@@Erkkremlinklum
Subaru and MazdaS not beating this.. Toyota Either... ok maybe the Toyota supra.. ok how many folks got Toyota Supra's or this Car???😆
TLX to me is SUCH a disappointment. Are you fucking kidding me 5.5 seconds to 100? Stinger / Genesis 2018 are closer to 4.5 seconds and cost used 1/2 price..
If you’re gonna hate, at least try to be accurate. Here’s the PUBLISHED 0-60mph/100km times from C&D:
TLX type s = 4.9s
Stinger = 4.6s
You were only off by 0.6s. 😂😂😂. This is why you shouldn’t believe everything you read on the internet folks.
I think what makes the Type R special is that it has a badge number and is limited. Type S does not.
So a sticker makes it special?
Both are limited with an unique badge number (VIN). 🤷♂
type r being limited means dealers will mark it up more lmao
@@ShaiyanHossain limited in what sense?
Because the ITS isn’t a vehicle that is widely available out there. Waiting list in dealers are absurd.
@@Marbind the acura dealer i bought my standard a spec integra from is about to get their 4th type S if not already. Most big honda dealers ive reached out are only getting 1-2 type Rs a year
@@ShaiyanHossain cool but do you know how many Honda Dealers are out there for each Acura one?
Hint: Around 4 Honda dealers for each one.
Sad new cars look like shit
What cars do you think that doesnt look like shit??? lol
Over $50k USD and 300hp just don’t sit right with me. Sorry Integra.
This isn't an American boat.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 when I had it, my 2015 335i made 20 less bhp and tq and weighed 600lbs more (while getting 30mpg), while running the same 1/4 mile time and trap speed as the Type S. I reiterate, not impressed.
@@MrTRESTOON💀💀💀💀 Americans and their straight line 1/4 times
Now.. have there ever been a Honda/Acura with straight line speed as their selling point? If that's what you are looking for, then this ain't it.
Any "sportscar" is not solely synonymous with drag racing.
@@arkram8733exactly. This car awesomeness comes to life after turning the steering wheel.
Fwd is not better than awd...
Depends on what the driver is wanting out of the car
Is that what he said in the video? I don't remember him saying that. I will say that FWD is clearly better in Winter driving than RWD. Also a lot of reviewers say that it doesn't feel like FWD and that it kind of feels like a quasi-AWD due to the LSD. But I'm sure you don't care about that. Haters are gonna hate.
Depends because this car posts better lap times compared to the AWD competitors.
@@Erkkremlinklum no literally it doesn't.
@@mikemccormick6128 you didn't see the thumbnail?🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣 and feels like and actual are 2 entirely different things.
Anybody actually calling this subtle or mature/adult needs to get their eyes and ears checked.
From the outside it's clearly more striking than the Type-R, but once you begin driving, the ride quality and upgraded materials give the impression it's grown up. It hasn't.
No wing, softer suspension settings, sound deadening material. Not as black and white as you claim.
The Integra he’s driving is quite black and white though in a beautiful way
Overpriced. Price acura is making it only for rich!
The average new car price in the US in 2022 was about $48,000. This Type-S MSRP is $52,000. Pretty standard, especially for what you're getting.
@@RoadsUntraveled paid exactly 4800 for my 2021 FK8 🤔
50k for this shit 🤣🤣 bruh not even the new highlander we got fully loaded touched this number wtf
For sure the highlander can do things the ITS can but the ITS also can do things that the highlander will never do.
Two different animals.
Highlander, lol. lame! Do you have a “I used to be cool” sticker on it?
Why anyone would buy front wheel drive automobiles is beyond my thinking🥴
Cheaper to maintain.
