Today we get our first look at the 2023 Acura Integra Type S. I drove my 2023 Civic Type R to compare the two back to back. Here are my initial thoughts!

Unpopular opinion here - but the Type S front and rear suit this chassis' look better - much more aggressive than the FL5
I can’t believe people think the FL5 looks better at all tbh
Hands down, better looking than the Type-R.
The Type S definitely looks better
I think so too, but I love how Honda made the Type-R's wide body fenders seamless and slick. a little more understated and grown up. I guess its just a different target audience.
Can't believe people think an acura looks better than a purpose built type R
Honestly I’m glad both the Type S and Type R exist. They’re good compliments to each other. Enthusiasts who want the full hardcore experience go for the Type R, but for those who want a similar feeling without the rawness go for the Type S. Honda & Acura teams did a great job differentiating them imo
The craziest thing is . The tame looking typeR made more sense as the quite comfortable ride. And more aggressive looking TypeS should've been the more rowdy one
Well said
Type S needed SH-AWD ☹️
@CarlosValdez-nu4gn maybe you can make a crv conversion.
I dont trust video titles anymore 👀
My video titles can be trusted.
Now that's what you call a glow up. The type-s looks so much more exciting and dynamic and sporty compared to the base integra.
While I do agree, it's still a piss poor excuse of an Integra. That's as the memes called the car when it debuted, an Accord Crosstour.
Love the FL5 and Type S! Personally I prefer the front end of the Type S but aside from that I’d go with the FL5 for sure
Started this video having low expectations for the type s, but honestly, it’s super sick! Acura definitely put some thought into this and it came out looking and sounding great!
I definitely prefer the sound of the type S. Type R still looks better tho
@@magicwaffl3z oh 100% prefer the Type R as well, but the Type S definitely surpassed my expectations.
@@MichaelAngeloo agreed
I was surprised how much I liked the type s considering how much of a let down the standard integra felt like it was.
Same here, I thought Acura completely dropped the ball with the base Integra. Then as soon as the Type S dropped I fell in love with the design, it looks so much better and I even like it over the FL5 and FK8
why suprised every base integra ever looked like a normal car compared to the type s/r variant
@@joa4613in what way? The old type R was just yellow and had the big wing and different wheels, but the body was the same.
@@joa4613base integra absolutely slaps and dominates
The type S reminds me so much of the FK8 as well. It’s a good mix of luxury and sport. With that being said, I’d keep my FK8. Thanks for the first look!
Same, I own an fl5, and I'm not trading mine in for an integra s. It's 8k more, and you know they are gonna be marked up too.
My local dealer had an integra s at 53k and 5k mark up plus the carbon package (additional 7k). We're looking at around 65k plus ttl, I'm thinking about 70k out the door for an integra s, which is insane.
I got my fl5 for 52k out the door, including ttl. The integra s' are too expensive for what you get imo. If someone can get it for msrp or near msrp, then it's a good deal, but most people probably aren't gonna get that. Even 60k for the car is robbery imo.
Also looks too much like a tlx type s, it's lazy unoriginal styling for the price.
Definitely prefer the Type S styling and interior minus the seats, just need to swap the bucket seats into the Type S and you got the perfect daily.
Bucket seats and “daily” are a bit of an oxymoron don’t you think?
@@ROVA00 nope not at all. Not all bucket seats are uncomfortable and racing only. Most of the modern sports car now have incredibly comfortable body hugging buckets.
That’s so crazy 70k + for an integra there is just so many other things I’d spend that on that’s wild..
I work for an Acura dealership and we aren’t doing mark up on it just msrp. We have 20 people on the wait list because we are the only dealer in cali not doing mark up
I prefer the rear and interior accents in the typeS, but typeR is my overall pick.
Both are amazing cars! But from the two I would definitely enjoy driving the FL5 a lot more. Like you said the Type R just hits like home
Like you said. One is more enthusiast driven the other is for style. I personally love the look of the Type S over the FL5. I would love to see one modified out in the streets. I really think both of these cars are about to hit the car scene really big in the next couple of years.
The bronze rims and the carbon pieces u can get from Acura as options look amazing on it
Carbon packaged is like 7k at my local dealer for the ITS. They wanted that plus 5k adm, like 65k plus ttl, probably 70k out the door.
It's nice to see the comparison between the 2, and the Integra Type S looks like it'll be an amazing daily. Honest opinion if you want to add to the Honda family why not go NSX or NSX-R. I would absolutely love to see a Legends NSX build on the channel! Congrats on 1K miles bro 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
The Type S really reminds me of the CT4 Blackwing or the newer Vauxhall Monaros with that front end, the flares and then that really sharp line down the side. Good stuff Dut!
Thanks for the comparison Dustin. If you're looking to add to you collection. You may want to wait for the PMC edition, which I'm sure they'll do in Red, White & Blue.
They look so great in person!! The Acura here in Vegas brought it out to the last Rides and Coffee; beautiful car inside and out!
I love the new Integra Type S. My very first car was at 98 Integra GSR Coupe... I loved that car so fun to drive. Maybe one day I could upgrade to this beauty. You got to get it.
I think u should definitely get the Type S too man to add to ur collection and let people know and see how the car is and even if u mod it. I love it cause of the four door option and manual transmission in it. I will definitely get this car later when I get the money for it.
Haven’t seen a type s in person yet….but just by videos and pictures I love how more aggressive it looks than the fl5
Absolutely love the type s. It’s the Japanese muscle car for the states. Bigger. More comfortable, louder etc.
Just upset at the dealer markups. Even just a few years ago $35k was plenty to get a new or low mileage amazing performance car. I’ve been waiting for years for all these enthusiast cars to come back but I’m scared they won’t last. Trust me there are WAY more people barely living paycheck to paycheck right now and the thought of NEEDING a different car is terrifying.
I got a Kona N for 35k and it slightly beats these cars in acceleration and is also rated for the track.
Agreed. Just bought 2023 VW Golf R and paid 10K markup and gave me slight break since was repeat customer. I should not have bought it but at my age I have more money than years left on the planet. Got email from VW to leave a review of the buying experience and I did bring up the "market adjustment" due to poor supply of these enthusiast cars. Put blame on both the manufacturer and dealer. I put in this was my honest opinion and from a guy that has bought MANY cars. Back in 2006 I bought new BMW Z4 M Coupe and got $500 discount since was repeat customer then. This car was very limited as well at the time with only a three years run. Dealers are definitely more greedy now and take advantage of enthusiast buyers. Part of it may be how COVID affected the supply chain and their bottom line.
@@doctorrobert60 first off congrats on the golf r! Such an amazing car all around! Don’t pretend like you don’t look back at it every time you park it and start to walk away 👌🏼👌🏼. You have every right to feel the way you do regarding the difference of being repeat customer. Man I bet you had the time of your life in the Z4! Pure definition of a drivers car!
@@khronin great pick! Out of everything out currently theirs NOTHING that touches the value compared to it! How’s it been treating? Smile ear to ear every time you get in it?
@@brap_stu_tu_tu Actually traded in another car and still have the 2006 Z4 M Coupe. Can't let it go and will gift it to my Nephew when my arthritic back makes it too hard to get in and out of. Handles better than the Golf R but is meant to but the Golf R is great compromise of ride/handling/utility. I do look at it walking away and in the lapiz blue in the sunlight looks great.
Both are real good! I wonder if you can swap the type R seats into the type s
Personally I prefer the exterior styling of the Type S and I would like the nicer interior quality too. Both cars are awesome.
One of the guys who designed the car bought a focus rs and that was the baseline for how they wanted the Integra to sound
I love both but I’d rather have the Type S. I like how there isn’t so much red on the interior, I prefer the styling over the Type R, and the exhaust is much better too.
So u like stick on arches
@@van_der_lindeDA They look fine to me, don’t see the big deal with them.
@Tanner_Teves where in the world besides North America is the Acura going to be available, any Acura for that matter?
Its one of the cleanest Integra's in a long time. The lines on it are aggressive but in the right way. Well done to Honda for developing both lol
Imagine you could spec either car with options from both like the seats, display, carpet ect
Of the 9 that Acura of Charlotte NC has for allocation I have one of them allocated. Hopefully all goes well and I’ll have one before the end of the year! Love the new integra!
Best of luck with getting your Type-S
So what you’re saying is Tiana should get an Integra Type S 🤔
I just looked at the DE5 today. If it wasn’t for the seats, gauge cluster, and temp gauges i would be trading my FL5 for sure.
Just got that white one with all the accessories- i actually enjoy this integra more than my 2018 M3 I had! Love the Alcatara wheel
Awesome video as always Dustin. Can't wait to see who wins the giveaway R35 GT-R. The FL5 is so awesome you can beat the FL5.
i still prefer the fk8 over both the fl5 and the type s. but i’d choose the fl5 over the type s in a heartbeat
Same here!
FL5 on top fs but… would be pretty cool to see the FL5 go full race car mode and Type S be the street legal daily but… on the the other hand NSX needs to be in the Honda collection! Whatever you do, excited to watch, but would be way more excited for a NSX lmao
Glad he kept the fl5 I definitely love both but in my heart I also like the fl5 more
Ok the sound of the new Type S is deep good sound !! , Dustin I have always considered that your collection needs an Integra!! , I would like to see your work on DC2 Best FWD or maybe a DC5 I would like much more than the new type S
Would love to see you track both the Type S and Type R for comparison
For styling, I think I have to give to the Type-s, BUT for the full package I'd go for the CTR.
Love the videos !!!
I look at it this way: The Type R is more for the car guy who’s into modding the crap out of their car, track it, and actually build it. The Integra Type S is more for the OEM+ type car guys (myself) who will put some wheels on it, maybe lower it, interior mods and some exterior bits but not go over the top with changing the full suspension, upgrading turbo, get rid of cats etc.
Idk, of course it’s my opinion 😅 the ONLY reason I didn’t buy an FL5 is because I wanted something not so rough (after test driving it I knew it wasn’t for what I needed from it) then they teased the Type S and I knew it’s exactly what I wanted.
Loved the video!
Still love the spoiler of the Type R. Love the championship white. Maybe that's why I like the Type R but this Integra with bronze wheels just undeniably looks so good.
I wanna see a DC2 or DC5 on the channel! Leaning towards DC5 Type S just cuz I own one. Lol. Could do a comparison of old K20 vs new K20 and their respective chassis performance and handling. There's nothing like a screaming NA K20 VTEC engine. Especially with internal upgrades with more aggressive cams and everything else.
i would go type s over the type r only because of the luxurious feel for daily driving. if i wanted to feel sporty every day while driving, i’d obv take the type r
So happy to hear youre sticking with the Type R. I also recently brought my FL5 to an Acura dealership who has a Type S. And yes the ITS definitely looks really good in person and most definitely sounds better but overall I wouldnt trade it for my Type R either.
I own and fl5 as well, and wouldn't trade mine in either. My local dealer wanted 52,995 plus 5k adm and the carbon package (addictional 7k). It was 65k plus ttl, so like 70k out the door for an ITS.
The car looks good, but looks too much like a tlx type s. Really unoriginal looking for the price.
THE ITS LOOKS AMAZING IN PERSON.
dope content.. as always❤
Congrats on 1000 miles!! 🎉
I’m still trying to get a FK8 lol but love seeing the VIP Squad in the vid love the VIP Fam
The dealership I work at has a champ white coming in and we are only 5k over msrp, for reference we sold a Phoenix yellow fk8 for 12k over. We also have a black si coming in!
Honestly i think i like the Integra more than the fl5 it looks more aggressive at least in videos my man really trying to work that sale too 😂
I really like both cars I definitely lean towards the type R a little bit more since when I heard about the type s making a comeback I was hoping for a 2 door version because I love the rsx so much but other than that both cars are sick in their own ways
Saw the FL5 in that bright blue and it looked really good. Has width that the camera doesn’t pick up
I own a CTR FL5 and I really do like the Integra Type S but hate the look of the “tacked on” rear fender flares. Especially that little piece attached to the rear door. Both are great cars but I think I’ll keep my Type R.
Much better wide body integration in the CTR.
Sheesh!! Let's Gooo Dustin' love that New Integra Type S🔥🤘🏾😝🤘🏾🔥
Plus 6 speed gearbox/18'inch stock rims and bigger brakes.. bigger then the basic model which still comes in a 5 speed gearbox still pretty dope.💪🏾👹
🏎🏎💨💨💨💨
Keep your Type R and get the Integra Type S in white to just chill in. Have both!!! That would be SOOOO sick bro
I have a white tlx type S on mag blue te37s 19x10.5s on 305s. I am probably going to get the integra type S as well but something is telling me to wait and grab one of the rare pmc colors a few years from now.
Im sure through ECU tweaks / dash mods. You could get the F1 inspired dash mode and Lap R feature in the Type S. Just sayin’
I really dig everything about the Type-S except the front end more so the grill its just so large.
Hey Dustin, I miss this giveaway but I can't wait to see what's next
Go give that man the sale. Perfect car for the channel!
I’m ready to see a change the type S might be it I really want to see upgrades and a tunes you add your touch to it and just see if it’s more reliable on the track then the type R
That market adjustment tag on the driver's side window lol
Another Amazing Vlogs ever 👌
So far he's the only one that can drive manual properly. No hiccups
Saw the video and thought id comment saying thats not a 'real integra' But man it actually really surprised me, Talk about a glow up, Would be dope of you could have your ctr seats in it instead of those luxury styled ones.
Although id rather see a DC2 build!! Been waiting for that one from you or Throtl 😅
The type s looks so damn good in person our Acura dealer got 2 of them and damn they are nice
My college grad gift to myself may be an FK8 Type R, I work at a dealer and I have been in love with the new Type R even before they came onto the lot, we have a Type S at our Acura dealer and I would add it to your collection if I was you
Both are real good!
Man I want a 2023 type s so badly!! If I ever get one or have the money to get one I will keep it forever basically. My first car was an 1999 Acura integra and I loved that thing so much before I totaled it 😢😢😢😢
Tiana on the vlogs is just a good feeling, do another travel blog, like the egypt one!
Bro definitely add to the collection
Damnnnnn mark up is insane. you wild sir.
Living the dReam!!
cant wait to see what the new ITR will be like. hopefully they will make one hehe
I own a 2023 Civic Type R in the same color as yours sonic gray pearl I love the 24 Integra type S it stickers for 7k more not including dealer markup
THANK YOU 🙏 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
idk if u did get it bc i didn’t watch the video fully but i just detailed one at my shop and the seats are very annoying to keep clean the alcantara for some reason just stick to all of the fuzz of your clothing it’s just soemthing to take in mind
That rear end looks so nice God damn😱😱
the Type S is totally my kind of car. would love to drive one of these
Glad you mentioned the price. At that markup I'm getting something else
Appreciate the video! I bought a Type R a few months ago and as much as I like it, I’m also about to turn 46 and currently been recovering from a slipped disc. For me, in the long run and also being an audiophile, the Type S would be more suitable for me.
Slip disc suck. Good luck on your journey on recovery.
@@Fingamyaz Much appreciated! Hopefully just a few pt sessions left. Nothing like being a human pin cushion for 4 months.
I think they are both great, and would get either, but maybe you can get with Tim and he can start doing some track with you
Gotta get a NSX-R imported from Japan if possible. That would be insane for the collection.
Hey man best choice because many say Acura is top for comfort sound stability luxury good cars make plus Acura behind always listen customer when report or need fix they do right way no like others company Europe or any others do what they want and ignore world customers bravo man good car i like so much
At this point you gotta get it and complete the collection!
Get it my guy would be a great addition
Glad to see you have a sense of humor with the thumbnail, lol. The way everyone is calling this the type r killer or saying it's better is only a matter of opinion. If you want a tuner car, the type r is better, you want a sport luxary car the type s is better.
Get the type s and type r it up, swap to type r seats. I wonder if the type r wing would fit the teg and if it's a direct swap with the infotainment system ctr to its
i do wish the fender flares were smoother like the type R's. They remind me a bit of a widebody hellcat. They're not horrible but feel more like they just were slapped on so to speak.
Lol the trial close "compare them side by side in your driveway"
Add the Type S for sure! Would like to see what you would do to modify both
Yeah wouldn't mind seeing a type s on the channel guna go look up morr about the type s now
You can also get a alcantara steering wheel and titanium shift knob in the type s
Does the type s in sport plus feels like the type r in sport damper setting ?
I think the type s and fk8 is a better combo personally, nsx wins though.
Edit: just made it to the end and 72k is crazy, even 52 is rough for me personally
im considering buying one of these cars. cant decide between the Acura or the Honda. Im Kina leaning towards Acura but then I do have a track not too far away from me so I go back and fourth every day. I haven't seen either in person and im not going to pay over msrp. I have cash to pay for it in full I hope that leverage enough for me but we'll see
Its kinda like the fl5 is aggressive on the inside but subtle on the outside and the integra is aggressive on the outside but subtle on the inside also dut broke his record of just "looking" and actually just looked at it 😂
Everything Dustin “wishes” he can do to the FL5 he can pretty much! If I’m not mistaken a lot of the parts from the Type S could fit the Type R or custom fabricated to fit!
Good to do the comparisons between the 2, The Acura S is in a different league all together...thanks for sharing Dustin 🎉😂
Love that Heisei Era Godzilla poster 💪
