Forget about the stats for a sec….that is ONE very good looking car
As an owner, I still watch every review that drops on this car lol. It’s been a blast since August best 54k I’ve ever spent hands down not a single regret.
How much do you pay monthly for it and what is you’re insurance like please
They have put a moonroof in it! I luv luv moonroofs
@@kimwiggins723 A-Spec has 1
Love to hear it!
@@Sleepygarage also excellent review man keep it up
Bring back the Acura legend.👍
Great review. Lots of haters on here, keep up the good work. ITS is an extremely fun vehicle, speaking as an owner for four months
Thank you! Glad youre liking the ITS!
The type R and type S both will hold value. The type R will always be the car that will sell faster
Got the FL5 … so much more raw in nature to the TypeS. The Acura is just more of a luxury vehicle.
Great choice! And this is coming from a VW and Honda guy.
i own the type s and brother owns the fl5. the type is more raw thanks to one less resonator. And of course the acura is more luxury did you just learn how to drive a car and just make all of this up? What a pleeb
@@JikaInFamous I wouldn’t trade my FL5 for the ITS given the chance … it’s not as special and far more luxury like all Acuras built for North America.
WOW!!! New subscriber after this video!!! your specs and information on the similarities and differences between the two cars is impressive to say the least!!! How and where you getting this info?? Car has been out for about 6 months and 100’s of videos made and you’re bringing info to the table no one has even mentioned… stamping of the sheet metal and it’s rigidity,seat height , firewalls, etc. 👍 great work and thank you!!
Oh ya both cars are awesome too 😎😂. Either way you can’t lose no matter which you choose !! Win Win for Honda/Acura and a definite win for your viewers!!
Thanks, I appreciate it. Info from Acura themselves.
Great review, can’t go wrong with the Integra type S or CTR
thanks! I agree.
Nicely done! One of the best videos about this awesome car. Well done Honda, a perfect product. We are so lucky to have it in the USA. Hope they sell like hotcakes. Now, if only I can come up with the dough...
Much appreciated!
I don't like hotcakes
Did I see an MDX Type S at the start of your Video? When is that review Coming? I have my Order for Integra Type S and it's coming in July White with Bronze RIms. Really excited for the car, Civic Type R everyone wanted more money so i Settled for TypeS since I got it on MSRP. Your review was great, I wish my car was here so I could enjoy it but Winter is almost here so good thing it's coming in July so I can enjoy it in Summer Next year.
Thanks, Haha it's a very nice MDX. Hopefully I'll get a chance to properly review it in 2024. Bronze rims with white is a great combo for the ITS, delivery after winter would be awesome!
Watch out other car reviewers out there. This guy is coming. Already the best reviewers out there 🔥👏
You his cousin?
your mom lol @@commonduck10
I really like this guy. He's more of an enthusiast than most car reviewers out there.
This. Review. Was. Alright.
Awesome review, I used to have a 2001 integra type r and this new one is pretty nice. After driving a boatload of cars, the one thing i cant get past is it being fwd. It is a fun car but for 55-60k there are other options i would rather have. Like the bmw m340i x drive is a monster (albeit no manual). I wish the type S had acuras SAWD.
Thanks for sharing! FWD performance car is indeed a niche market but its great if u can get past it.
Really good looking car. If they somehow produced a model with 400 hp I would have been all in.
I want to get this car but I don't need it. 😂 Great review
Haha I feel that, thank u.
I chose the CTR and have no regrets, looks better too imo
But I don’t like the fact that it doesn’t give you a chance to get to the moonroof!!!!!!!!
They are both great cars, but I got an fl5, and it's an awesome car. I want a more sports car experience, not really into luxary cars, but to each their own.
Dope ass Integra, Acura could really reinvent themselves if they brought back the legendary legend, of course wit the right OG designer mindset to do the job right.
Maybe one day
i would take the Acura S just hate how honda only have the red interior in these models
I find red interiors to be gaudy, some tacky. Ugh.
Nice review, honest & concise...thank you
Thank u!
Good review . I went with the FL5 but you cant go wrong with either car.
This should've came as the Coupe' variant of the 2.
I considered a ITS heavily but ultimately went with a CTR last month. The interior of the Type R just makes you feel like you’re sitting in something truly special compared to the Type S which is a bit underwhelming especially since MSRP starts at over $8k more. The seats, racing odometer, data log and I realized the R is going to have better resale value than the S years from now. The ITS is still a great car in its own right though.
I agree, I’d pick the CTR for the special interior and sensation too. Also holds more value
This is just my opinion type S for old OG that wants comfort to drive in the streets. The type r I feel more for track use
Couldn't agree more.
I saw so many A-Specs not sure why people did not hold off for this type S masterpiece.
I would def hold off for this!
I would take the Type S any day but I would swap out those front seats tho, the Type S sounds great.
Some have taken the TypeS damping setting to the Type R, while you wantbthe TypeR seats I your TypeS. Cool swap
I want to hear the road and I appreciate the lack of sound deadening. CTR ftw
It'll be the CTR for me but you can't go wrong with either
Agreed.
If it had a sunroof, it’d be perfect.
What if I don't want the crackles and pops from the exhaust. I can't understand why anyone would want their car to sound like it's backfiring. No hate if you do like that, I'm just wondering how I could mitigate/eliminate it?
I think the crackles only happen in sport plus mode. In other modes it’s not there
Well, in fact, it seem that the fastest FWD and hot hatch production car is the Renault Megan Trophy. I mean, it's half a second behind the Civic, but there is no hint that it cheated, unlike the Civic.
And I own a Civic, I know that it's a really good car, but facts are facts.
Id get this of the type r. Biggest issue for me is the dealer markup
I won’t buy one marked up. No way
I think you are sitting alittle too far back. Your hands are barely able to turn the steering. great video.
Sadly we have no Acura dealers here in Japan.
Oh I didn't even know that.
Please do not complain, check what we get in Europe...
I often wonder if the Japanese residents on our planet are sad the acuras aren't offered there.
Maybe it's just me, the Type S seems like a waste and it is missing that $7k added price over the Type R. No electric trunk, only 5 added horsepower, maybe a weak HUD display, and non-aggressive changing gauge seems like it is lacking features that should be there for $7k. I'd get the Type R and save that money.
The only problem is that dealers are marking up the Type R to the same price of, if not more than, the Type S so no cost savings in buying the Type R. I live in South Florida and the dealer markups for both cars are insane.
You can get a type s for like $8k less than a ctr near me. No brainer. It’s a better car
I found an ITS for less than the typical CTR. 🤷🏻♂
@daviddoan9447
7K gives you
-Rain Sensing wipers
-Longer Warranty
-Wider Powerband (Check Savagegeese review includes dyno of both cars)
-Cooler Exhaust Note
-Leatherette Interior
-HUD
-Door Sill Plates
-Radar Sensors in the bumpers
-Sound Deadening
-Aggressive body kit
-Premium Sound System
-Powered Driver Seat with plenty of adjustments
-Heated Front Seats
Among other things.
I don't know you but in my book, that upcharge isn't that crazy. In the end the CTR is more expensive anyway.
Honda spent years creating a near perfect street/track weapon that punches above its class basically saying the Type R is the best car that Honda has to offer you! Let that sink in for bit
If I was 20 years younger I’d get the Type R.
If I was 20 years younger, I wouldn’t be able to afford it. lol. I get what you’re saying tho. 😅
the acura looks more tuner raceer boy than the honda though
20years older and the TypeR is still for mature men
20 younger, I wouldn’t be driving the shit out of this car in winter weather with no shits given while my GT3 sits in the garage waiting for summer.
Doesn't matter how old you are, get what you want, it doesn't seem to bother fat old guys driving round in Ferraris
I have both and I’d take the type s over the type r.
Damn u have both!!!
@sleepygarage what's your fav color of the ITS?
Not sure tbh, black is hard but wouldn't get it just because of maintenance. Maybe Liquid Carbon Metallic or the Apex Blue.
When i get my job coming up in the next couple of months, I'm still getting a Type-R. However, they are rare so at the same time im going to be searching for an Integra Type-S. Whichever i find first is what I'm getting. I don't really care about the luxury features of the Integra, but even if i end up with a Type-R, im gonna replace the suspension module with the Integra Type-S cause i hear its just overall better on both the street and track. Its not the same with an Acura badge, its the luxury Type-R.
Haha yeah it’s good to cross shop since the CTR is so hard to get. The suspension module is barely noticeable tbh
No chargers in the back nor AC vents? That is a big deal breaker for me.
Yeah a bit of a bummer
I like the Acura but the bottom line is actually $9,000 and some change over the type R. I like the looks of the Civic better, the seats are better, it's lighter, the Civic wide body is built into the body and doesn't look tacked on like the Acura, I might however like the softer Acura suspension module better. Even if they were the same price I think I'd still buy the type R. I'm glad Acura is back and it's a nice option for some people.
Yeah I’d get the Type r as well but I’m glad it’s back!
In Canada its impossible to get MSRP for type R hahaha, but 70K for a front wheel drive type S???i think also lots of player will say no to this as well, cuz at this point it just way too many AWD car to pick. its just bad marketing for type S i think. Should be + tax +everything= 60K that would be a killer price.
Yeah it’s priceyyy
I don't mean this nasty.. but learn to shuffle steer. It will make you more efficient in your cornering! :)
Check your driving position too. Looks like you’re too far from the wheel for proper cornering control.
I really wish they did better on the seats for this type S. I’m just not feeling them.
CTR seats woulda been better
I’m 6’6 and have fit in my accord and Camry. Hoping my heads will fit
I think you should be fine
From the sides It looks like a mini lambo Urus
Haha I see it
Even though I'm an old man I would go for the Type R. They've toned down the appearance and I'd take the savings given the performance and live with the harsher ride. Also, that thing ain't keeping up with a Type R driven on track. 3:03 - "S" 😇
It has been proven multiple times by different sources that both cars post similar lap times when the tires are equal.
interior was a huge let down for me, its the same as the base civic LX, where as the TLX interior has the hint of NSX. Also the tail lights are far too underwhelming, like a last gen genesis. Over all, I just can't see myself even considering this thing
I am between this and m240i xdrive. Would you pick one over the other? Looks like for 9 more than the Integra at msrp I can get a basically fully optioned m240i xdrive so I am at a dilemna.
Get type s
Manual
Type S 6 speed and a way cheaper car to maintain and repair ( if it actually ever breaks)
The BMW is faster but the Acura is more fun to drive.
If you can pay it go for it. 9 is a lot more.
M240i xDrive if you want the faster, more comfortable luxury car, and if you want to slide it. Type S is the better handling in general for autocross and tracking, also more space. Personally I'd take the M240i
why do they make it to look like BMW M series?
Super cool car. Would buy one for sure if I had the cash.
You and me both!
Type. S is fire , the type R doesn’t do it for me
Round dials are way better than the stupid 80's arcade bar dial..
Me, I love my fl5. Won't ever trade it for the type s
What color and is it in Canada?
man all tell postive for type s and we saw is far far better that honda.
Does the Type S have the same engine as the Type R ? The Type R doesn't have counter balancers and my Honda Accord 2.0 turbo does have counter balancers for a smoother running engine.
Exactly the same , cars are like 96% identical
I would get a Type S and swap th seats for CTR ones.
haha id do the same if I got the ITS
Yup definitely type s over type r
Bruh hes is SO CUTE in that car. 😂Hes so tiny and his head is even shorter than the head rest. 😂❤ Thats cute asf an Asian in an Asian car
Type r thanks
I love this car.
Interesting and informative 🇯🇲
Jamaica mon
The Acura is not only overly styled, it looks cartoonish.
no sunroof, so sad.
Too bad my local dealer has this thing at $62k. For that kind of money I’m going RWD/AWD.
Haha yeah I cant blame ya
I got mine at MSRP, and all of the CTR's I cross shopped it against had markups that brought it to the same price or higher. I waited several months until I found a dealer in driving distance of where I live that was willing to do a deal at MSRP. This was last September when I bought it, and I bet now you can find many more around MSRP.
Full disclosure, I have an s2k that I track, but this car is so good I'm seriously considering taking it to the track this spring. It's that good!@@Sleepygarage
Its a cool car but wouldn't say this carries the same amount of sreet cred that the Type R has.
I've seen like 3 Type S' in Ontario so far but only seen 2 FL5 Type R here. 1 parked in front of a private hotel and another grounded in the dealership due to back order on its fuelpump
And I'd also say the dealerships here are mostly family-owned and not directly linked to Honda Japan or whatever and so if they tell you they're not selling a Type R to you for anything less than $25K+ markup, there's nothing you can do to take it up with Honda HQ really. - Thought therebwas canadian regulation against markups by auto sellers though ?
The Honda Motocompacto also released in the US 2 weeks ago, went to a Honda dealership in the GTA to ask if they had any and all the sales reps on the showroom floor were all stunned when i showed them the video of it, they said they hadn't received any communication from Honda on the release of it.
I think it will make good content for you to cover what the purchase process of the Motocompacto for a Canadian enthusiast looks like and if folks should cop the Motocompacto for quick rides to places around their neighborhood. Cheers
Interesting because out here in Alberta I have yet to see another Type S on the road besides mine yet I have already come across 3 FL5’s.
Report them to the relevant authority if they are refusing to sell at MSRP, they are being shitty with you so be shitty with them
@@4Kandlez what is the official car authority in Canada & do dealerships fear being reported?
Your literally paying more for the acura logo nothing else, love the video tho!!!!!
Lmao thanks! In a way yeah but with some more tech I guess but Id take a CTR
@@Sleepygarage yes ctr is fire man, I’m doing 10+ shift everyday to get one🙏🏾
Great car, just can’t justify the price when comparable to a M240i.
Road & Track PCOTY says otherwise (as far as price goes). Also, as I stated in response to another comment: The experts picked the ITS--better gearbox, better steering, better brakes, better chassis/weight/handling, better practicality, better reliability . . . Seems the BMW's only advantages are powerful engine and more luxurious interior (if you can afford to pay to equip it similarly to the ITS).
The Acura will last longer. Why wouldn’t it be justifiable?
Because you're spending $65+ CAD on a front-wheel drive sports economy car.@@lionedheart
@@willbobig Unless you’re going to drift around with a RWD or AWD car then it makes no difference.
One can argue why spend 65k on an unreliable vehicle, while the Acura Integra is 53k USD?
Anyone can spend 8k on tuning and add ons on the base model Acura Integra starting at 31k to achieve the same features, level of performance, and more for a total of $39k.
1. Physics; push vs pull - will always be a factor.
2. Climate (I get snow here).
3. Cheaper built, still an economy car at the end of the day.
Not saying this to be a hater, I'm sure the car is brilliant to drive, just for the price I would for sure end up with a 240.@@lionedheart
Type S doesn’t come with enough tech for me and the dashboard is boring compared to the type r
日本でも販売すればいいのに。HONDAは日本を軽視か？日本人のイメージだとHONDAは軽自動車とミニバンのメーカーのようだ。
$50k for a FWD? Nah..I'm good. I'll get me truck instead lol 😛
Type R is so ugly to me I never understood how someone can pay that price range for that car, sure looks fun I'm not going to debate this, but I'd almost rather any other damn car for the same price
im from toronto and still have not seen one fl5 on the road yet
Haha yeah they're rare
You still get the fake exhaust noise inside the cabin. Acura modified the sound module from the Type-R
Yup..paying more just for a different sound when it comes to that 🤦🏻♂️
That’s incorrect, Type S has no fake pumped in sound.
@mtvideos8 it does pump in fake sounds, my friend just got the module to put in his Type-R. It's not as loud but it's still fake exhaust sound
Wao, were people get this incorrect information?
It doesn't pump fake exhaust noises. The sound is real. So real that you need to lower the windows to truly enjoy it.
No module will make a CTR sound like an ITS. It needs an Hondata reflash with the ITS pops and bangs feature enabled. Plus needs to ditch a resonator.
@Marbind yes there's a sound module to the left of the glove compartment, there's different part number for the CTR and ITS. There's also two different Active Damper Modules, one for the ITS and CTR. Reasons why I know is because I have a DE5 ITS
is ii still fwd? if yes then No
I would rather buy a ford focus RS.
Just make sure the head gasket is the right one
Why won’t they do a coupe?? I don’t get it
That would be great, maybe the new Honda Prelude can fill that gap.
@@Sleepygarage new Prelude is an all electric vehicle 🫤
@@grusive yeah but it’s the only good looking coupe from Honda Acura now lol
@@Sleepygarage lol yeah true but that’s uh shame😞 not necessarily a bad thing but people like myself rather have a manual performance then charging it
@@grusiveHybrid. Coupes don't sell well these days
type r is not the fastest hot hatch, that honor goes to the golf r
Too bad that the honor is limited to a straight line
Im really curious where this is in ontario! Roads look fun!
Looking at the hairpin I am going to guess its Forks of Credit
Yes
@@alanhung1428Port Credit side?
Type r
They both are outrageously expensive lol I ain't paying anything over 35k for a Honda. 2017 si coup till IT DIES. If I was gonna spend that kind of money on a car it definitely won't be for a Honda.
Nice ride ❤
This is a brilliant car, but for the money, the 22 2SS Camaro 1LE was the better choice.
Faster acceleration, world class handling, fantastic 6 speed, and rear wheel drive.
The Acura has a beautiful interior, and I LOVE the styling, but the dealer markups killed it for me.
Nice review.
There are not in the same class.
@@lionary For a person like myself that actually tracks his car, your right, the Acura isn't even remotely in the same class as the 1LE Camaro.
Dollar for dollar, the 1LE is king.
Better power, better handling, better tech.
@@robbyrockets1 no argument from me
Better choice?
That depends.
Those rear seats are fun showing off because even kids suffer in there. Not a family friendly car.
For me was easier to find a ITS at MSRP than a CTR. Took me one week vs the CTR that after year wasn't able to find one at the right price.
I hate how the new integra looks just screams USA design like the new NSX.. ew. great review but
It handles well because it’s AWD, not FWD.
You’re thinking about the tlx. The integra is fwd
yes
....thought I was on the hub for a sec, sorry 😂
Do these torque steer ?
Almost no torque steer at all with the LSD
64k here in Hawaii
Type r owners are like GGGGRRRR Nice type S
Right on, as they say!
Rear is a bmw?
God I want this car
How does it hnadle in snow?
not sure but probably just like any other FWD car.
Lol just buy a 2020 Ford Fusion sport. Awd 2.7L TT with 380 foot lbs torque.
is it 4wd?
no
Look at how much the steering is turning for a light turn. That tells me everything i need to know. My type R FK8 is way better and my s2000. This new integra is nice, but it's a boat. I don't even like the new type R. FK8 is still faster
They both have the same engine so whats is the different..
Get a second loan and get a first gen nsx you’ll thank yourself later lol 😂
Do a burn out 😂😂😂😂
Lmaooo mayh
Maybe*
Front Wheel Drive lol😂 ..
I like to get my car reviews from a 15 year old boy.
He's over 20. Y'all should chill out
