Picked mine up this past Saturday. Best car i've ever owned (most expensive too ). Getting it PPF and tinted right now and can't wait to get it back and put some more miles on it. Extremely capable, already took it up to the canyons, yet the suspension just soaks up everything. Love it more than my bmw m235i with full suspension and stage 1 bm3.
Just sold my F80 M3 Competition for this car. Seems nutty, but my M3 was a DCT and I needed a better daily and a stick... I don't regret it at all! I'll take my blue / orchid color combo, though.
Yeah a $60,000 fwd 4 cylinder Honda should be car of the year😂... smh.. The TSX awd Type S is a far better value and is cheaper.. No 4 cylinder fwd Honda is worth $60,000.. I would be hard pressed to pay $40k.. When did a sporty Honda hatch turn into a car only the privileged elite can afford?
@wingedhussar5528 Bro it's literally insane.. let just list a few cars in this price bracket.. Audi RS3, BMW M-series(certain models), Toyota Supra, Nissan Z, AR Quadrafoglio, Porsche Cayman... This doesn't include certain Muscle cars either. Let's also factor that most cars in its class are half the price and some AWD!.. GR Corolla, Hyundai N, Golf R/GTI..
@@mr_triumph Golf R is $45k... $15,000 less... Again, you cannot get a Type S or Type R, for under $60,000 ANYWHERE, unless you have connections to the dealer, or are an influencer. I work for Acura.
@@mr_triumph First off, why are you defending Honda charging so much for a car fwd 4-cylinder? You REALLY think in todays economy, $52,000 is a fair MSRP on that car? LMAO... But anyway, there isnt 9 for MSRP at your dealer.. I know that for a fact... We deal and communicate with Acura dealers on the entire East Coast.. There is no Type S that a normal person can get for MSRP... You have to be a content creator, or, have connections with the dealer... My Dealer is charging the exact same markup every other dealer on the East coast is charging.. I have no clue why you are defending the exploitation of people and Dealers and Honda taking advantage of people. The car is not worth even $50,000... The car should be high 30's.. That is reasonable price.
First car = Red ‘94 Integra RS, Best car = White ‘97 Integra Type R #273, Newest car= White with Red interior ‘24 Integra Type S. OMG, spirit of JDM Precision Sport intact. Tears of joy on mountain road sustained. 27 year wait for Honda/Acura to get back to their performance roots is such a relief. They can be the Japanese Porsche…
I can respect that. It's always good to have options. I'm not sure why Acura couldn't have at least made it an option for those of us who cherish it. Think about it. It's being sold as completely loaded yet its less equipment. Make that make sense. If carmakers think they can get away with this you are going to end up paying more for less and less.@@quells2119
Nice car ❤ great video don’t like the rear seats and cup holder placement and the center consul. I would definitely be giving up a little of the luxury if I sold my 2021, all-wheel-drive Mazda turbo hatchback.. but it does have some sporty looks. Just don’t know if it’s enough to sway me. And only a 5.48 to 60’ and my Mazda I do 5.6 to 60’. So really no big gains there. 🤔
Me being a long term Honda/Acura guy having owned 2 Civics (2007-2012), 1 Accord (2015), 1 TLX A-Spec (2018) and now an RDX A-Spec (2021), i just find it impossible to accept that Acura has priced their entry level performance car anywhere near $60,000 (with delievery, admin fee's) and now see listing within Ontario for these Type S Integras's for near $70,000!!! I had initially put a deposit on a TLX Type S but after seeing the early performance numbers, decided to not get one and got my RDX instead. Now i'm looking for a 2nd car that is fun to drive. A low mileage 2022 BMW M240i or M340i which have XDrive and nearly 400hp can be had for between $60,000-$65,000 and even new ones start around $70,000. Acura and Honda have lost their minds with prices so the RDX will be my last Acura/Honda product. I'm not the only Honda/Acura customer that feels that way... i have numerous friends and co-workers who feel that Honda/Acura have lost their way and are not producing/pricing competitively against other manufacturers.
I’m with you. I purchased the ASPEC Integra manual last year (that was a relative cheap date). My dealer, who I have bought two other cars from, knows I’m interested in trading for one of these. However, as I said to him, at this price I might as well move up to an M2. I don’t see much value in it. I have issues transporting my family in it. The passenger seat lacks any height adjustment and my wife complains she is on the floor (It’s supposed to be an Acura - not a Civic DX). My older father almost fell into it and hurt himself and even for me, the car is too light / tinny to be so expensive (not a bad thing at a good price - but it’s not much different than my wife’s late 1997 Honda Civic from when I first met her back in the day). The ELS stereo is ELS light. It’s not nearly as good as their other products. The lack of onboard navigation, while not a big issue, presented a problem for me in Northern Vermont one day with poor cell phone coverage. I think they missed the mark on taking out things like memory seats (available on the cheaper non type s models) and the sunroof (I get it - weight but at the same time they tuned this version for better on road performance). It’s simply not a BMW. Remember, their target demographic is exactly as Mike said. Me. Middle aged, have some disposable money, looking to relive some of our youth, have other vehicles. However, I still buy based on some sort of value. It’s a really tough one now unfortunately. I may be too old for it. I see more value in the S3, and like I said M2 (I can order one at MSRP light on options for only a little over $10K US more). Even the Golf R. P.S. Forgot to mention that my mother in law wacked her head on the sloping rear roof getting into the back seat. The vehicle is actually not as functional as a Civic. 😉
I'm a major car and Acura fan however if this thing is 76k, I would love to drive it and give it back soon after. 76k is to close to my electric Porsche that I'm way more interested in actually buying. I could have never ever imagined a day where an Integra would one day cost 76k.
The standard Integra has all the bells and whistles of the type S minus the smaller engine for a value price. Maybe the Aspec will be the car of the year again !?
@@protectork9831 I took a look at the Civic Touring before I purchased my Integra Aspec. The Integra was roomier and much more upscale in my opinion for the small difference in price.
Agreed, ALMOST! I think that will differ from person to person but for me, it needs a bit more luxury! Have a arm rest with coaster, usb in back with air
Hard to imagine a Civic variant that costs as much as a Supra I6, M240xi, Nissan Z, Mustang GT, the list goes on 😬 all faster more powerful and nicer cars.....whew hype will sell anything nowadays 😪😒
Hard to imagine fitting my kids and family in the backseat of a supra, m2, nizzan z, mustang, the list goes on. All less practical and less comfortable cars... Whew practical cars sell, don't they?
I'm amazed and grateful that in 2023 Acura has produced this fantastic car. I would have been thrilled to learn that it was available in a manual and cannot believe that it's ONLY available in a manual! On one hand, like I said, I'm thrilled and it will be what I buy if the price comes down a bit, but I'm wondering how successful it will be when so many people don't / can't drive manuals. I guess they can get the TLX-S LOL
What I love the most is the type S exterior really builds off of the aggressive body style the '18-'23 Accord Sport/Civic Type R had. Which, unfortunately, the Accord/Civic just doesn't have that oomph any longer. Now if only it had the accord/civic tag lol.
How do you mean? There is a Civic Type-R. I would have bought one, but the the dealer wanted a $15,000 markup. The 2023 Type-R is what this car is based on.
They purposely dulled the Accord appearance to shift sales to Acura for those looking for a more sporty look. The Accord use to take sales away from Acura.
What's up king..? Great video as usual.. You know I'm completely stuck between these 2 cars. Honda vs Acura... I love the front of the Acura but love the back of the Honda. I love the fact that the Acura exhaust sounds good. I love the comfort and sound system Acura... I love the wide body of the Honda because it's the original. But one thing is that I'd take this over the C43 and the M340i. Both are faster cars but honestly who cars. I love Japanese cars! 😊
I can't decide too and I'm seriously in the market. Which one do u think will hold collectors value longer? Maybe the R badge since there's a never ending supply of youngsters
@@juniornaval9140 both cars are incredible, pricy but incredibly brilliant. I'm no longer a young man so buying a car that has a harsh ride is no longer pleasant experience for me especially if I'm planning on making it a daily. So for me I'd take the type s. If I'd buy the type R (which looks better in my honest opinion) I'd buy the module that controls the adaptive suspension from Acura and fit it in the type R. It will really make the suspension more softer for daily use but it will loose its ability to track as well as it does. That module costs about $400 and it's likely a DIY thing
Elantra N 5.2 0-6 35k plus tax your talking 30k less than this acura and more at some dealers too!! They have ruined the excitement of this car the dealers and Acura this should have been 48,900 msrp to start tlx is 54,900 msrp I mean come on here
Acura took out the small front resonator to get that aggressive sound. The front fenders are 3 inches wider, not 3 mm! And the Sport+ mode, the needles turns yellow like the DC2 ITR.
I just bought a tlx type-s with awd. I'm also in Wisconsin. Previously owned an accord coupe and had eaten up many subarus and trucks, suv's with some good winter tires. I recommend nokian hakkapeliittas. You don't need awd, you need to be able to stop. That's where snow tires come into play.
@baoquoc3710 I had continental viking contacts and they are decent. Blizzaks I hear are great, but I never bought them. I bought my gf a set of Toyo celsius winter bias tires, and those are also great if you're keeping them on year round.
@@MikeYurbasovich this morning I just got placed on top of the list for an allocation on 2024 911 base model, could happen in February and get the car in spring if that falls through back to the R for year round, thanks for the tip on the tires
This is hysterical honestly people are such hype clowns it's not even funny car of the year? You realize ford has been making the ecoboost 4 cyl mustang for how long now and still has gobs more performance, power, and styling than this thing? 😂
It's hard to imagine this car being compared to a M240i or a AMG A35 or an Audi S3. None of these are manual transmission, none of them will be as reliable long term but yet, the Integra is up there in price. You can definitely bet it close to msrp if not at msrp if you come in with a good credit and a good down payment. Dealers need to sell these cars.
In Canada the M240i is available in 2 door only, an even less comparable option for family duty and dollar for dollar you can only get a 330xi, not the M340 which is an extra $13k in Canuckistan. Like you said, this doesn't even factor in the long term hole in your wallet the German cars will cause and am I the only person to be genuinely glad they didn't put a moonroof?
Imagine paying more than a Camaro SS, mustang 5.0, audi s4, Mercedes cla45 amg, and the list goes on. Just to get absolutely gapped and have a shittier interior
I’m not sure if, for a long term goal, I want to save up for this, or go a bit cheaper and snag an Elantra N… The Integra looks better, the hatch is awesome, and I love me my Honda products, but it also doesn’t necessarily come with a heck of a lot of features for a car that’s so expensive… the N also comes with a DCT and while I’ve loved driving stick in my old Accord 6-6, in traffic (which is PLENTIFUL around here.) it REALLY gets old… and I honestly don’t mind the way the N looks, plus a better warranty… tough decision! This is my dream car, but maybe after the mid-cycle improvements or another generation it’ll be more appealing!
Black is a badass color for this car. I think it would look great with a wing, especially with the aggresively styled bumpers. For 50K+ the backseats look cheap; even the ones on the mazda3 look better.
Everyone loves this car. Wait until you get a look at what they have in store for '25 😏. Honda bridging back the Prelude. But do you know what that means for the Acura version? Think 🤔 hard for a moment. Prelude is based off the Civic. The Integra is also based off the Civic. Connect the dots. ??? Type R version? Type S version???
I don’t love it for that price tag. Dealership markups, fuck them all. Luxury Sport sedans like the M3 and C63 AMG, slightly used with 20k miles are way nicer and WAY FASTER for the same tag.
That's the only problem that Honda doesn't give there cars enough performance (except NSX) weak specs , awesome looks,feel.I still want one but i think I'll get the TLX s type
OH NO..... I love the outside of this car.....the inside is awesome, and then I look at this disgusting computer just sitting on top of the dash board....so ugly. It takes away from the lines of the car...this big monster computer just bolted on top of the dashboard. Does Honda/Acura make any cars that blends into the dashboard....
slow and old, cheap interior, I don't think HONDA cares about actual performance cars for their buyers( maybe 4% of all their buyers), this thing has nothing new in it, it's the same shit for years with different covers...
Black is the absolute worst color on a car. It looks great but its hard to keep clean. It must be absolutely mirror clean at all times to look good. I've owned a black car before and will NEVER buy one again.
Nice car but no doubt its way over priced. also will be a thief magnet. i see many of those on there way to Montreal to Russia and Africa. The Montreal police will always be looking the other way - 😏
This car looks good until you see it on their website.. the lines seem off. You have to see this car in person.. it looks better than you think. I did price the car for the fun of it, if I was to purchase it and it came to just over $60K
I test drove it. Kind of heavy feeling..was powerful just not sure how it would be banging around corners at high speed. I just was not sold for the money it cost. Great looking car but in the end it just wasn’t for me. The interior with that read was alright looking but was not a super fan. This cars kicks ass off the line but for the price I went with BMW. I just trusted the steering a ton better. Felt safe around the corners and with the rear wheel drive was awesome. I signed quickly for it.
@@benderaviation I picked up a 2023 230i in pearl black. If you can grab your hands on one. They didn’t make a ton of them so my dealer told me. I luv the car…I test drive an M2 and it was nuts,,,this model is just as good. Got the 19 inch wheels in her and she looks great. The drive is amazing and control is as good if. It better than a Porsche. Only problem is I will be going thru tires slot. But hey that is the price you pay. Cheers
Great choice. I think the 230-M235i models are a compelling alternative at the price point. I just sat in both the type r and type s and it's hard to accept a nearly $60k OTD price. Especially with the interior. The S felt more luxurious but its civic roots shine through. My dealer had no markup on the S except for $2k in dealer install accessories, while the Type R had a "flexible" $20k markup. I think a 1 year old used Type S could be a great value. Time will tell.
acura is so cheap, after like 30 years they didnt even make it all wheel drive, or didnt put a dct tranny in their type s , and they still want like 60 grand for this,
0:27-0:30 That sure is a lot of body lean from a simple low speed turn, on a $55k+ car that’s marketed as a phenomenal handling vehicle. Just saying 🤷♂️
13:00 Should’ve been a 5 seater with rear USBs and with a sunroof. They better fix it at mid cycle refresh for more buyers. 14:50 More of a purist car. 16:55 Delay;suspension 68/32 weight distribution, how’s the torque steer under heavy throttle, especially off the line? 🤔 19:00 6MT FTW.
Aint nothing beating the price for power infiniti q50 vr30. Can buy right now for 30k. Tune it with downpipes, exhaust to over 460hp. Front and rear sway bars, pilot sport tires and the car will gap anything out their for just under 40k.
No spare tire is not only a zonk, it's a Red Flag of failure to provide a customers piece of mind. Sure we have reached 2023 and Yes there are tire repair kits but if the tire is entirely blown out, repair kits won't save you and you are going to rely on towing. Also some States require a spare tire for vehicle inspections. The car is also too low and should be e raised like a Mercedes Benz.
3200 lbs is the weight of a full sized car in the 60s and 320 HP puts it in the same league as my old 64 GTO. Difference is you can drive this faster without white knuckles and this should be WAY more enjoyable and reliable. I'd buy one if I was willing to spend 50K for a car but I'm not.
@@ACCELER8TVHi Mike, how does the e39 M5 compare to the Type S? Is the M5 a faster car compared to the Type S? Which car is more fun and which do you prefer?
2024 TLX Type S for me .....i say 24 because they fixed and added everything i hated yeah needs more power ill be selling my 2021 Camaro 2SS 1le to get it so i hope power difference dont bother me so much but i def need a change ...
Ive driven the ITS but I havnt done a 0-60 run. However, as an FL5 owner you can absolutely hit 60 in second gear. Best case scenerios in the Type R is 4.8-9s from what I have seen.
On the 0-60 mph test, the car is not slow, YOU ARE SLOW, YOU SUCK AS A DRIVER, YOU ARE STAYING TOO LONG ON THE GEARS BEFORE SHIFTING, YOU MORON.
Lol who hurt you?
Not the best way to get your point across child.
Lol, a rare HonDa FaNBOi?
You know you can articulate a point and still be respectful right?

First time in my life that I actually prefer the Type S from Type R. This Integra is so beautiful

What I love the most is the type S exterior really builds off of the aggressive body style the '18-'23 Accord Sport/Civic Type R had. Which, unfortunately, the Accord/Civic just doesn't have that oomph any longer. Now if only it had the accord/civic tag lol.
How do you mean? There is a Civic Type-R. I would have bought one, but the the dealer wanted a $15,000 markup. The 2023 Type-R is what this car is based on.
They purposely dulled the Accord appearance to shift sales to Acura for those looking for a more sporty look. The Accord use to take sales away from Acura.
Ooh Acura is back on this channel. Must Like. Love the intro, right channel for Acura videos
$52K for a fuckin 4 banger... y'all NUTS...
I'm older, and if I coukd getva nice performance car, I would get this in Apex Blue Pearl and the white/dark grey or black interior.
Why is it so hard to get a Japanese 2-door hot car? Hatch would be best.
What's up king..? Great video as usual.. You know I'm completely stuck between these 2 cars. Honda vs Acura... I love the front of the Acura but love the back of the Honda. I love the fact that the Acura exhaust sounds good. I love the comfort and sound system Acura... I love the wide body of the Honda because it's the original. But one thing is that I'd take this over the C43 and the M340i. Both are faster cars but honestly who cars. I love Japanese cars! 😊
I can't decide too and I'm seriously in the market. Which one do u think will hold collectors value longer? Maybe the R badge since there's a never ending supply of youngsters
@@juniornaval9140 both cars are incredible, pricy but incredibly brilliant. I'm no longer a young man so buying a car that has a harsh ride is no longer pleasant experience for me especially if I'm planning on making it a daily. So for me I'd take the type s. If I'd buy the type R (which looks better in my honest opinion) I'd buy the module that controls the adaptive suspension from Acura and fit it in the type R. It will really make the suspension more softer for daily use but it will loose its ability to track as well as it does. That module costs about $400 and it's likely a DIY thing
Elantra N 5.2 0-6 35k plus tax your talking 30k less than this acura and more at some dealers too!! They have ruined the excitement of this car the dealers and Acura this should have been 48,900 msrp to start tlx is 54,900 msrp I mean come on here
Start in second for best 0-60
Acura took out the small front resonator to get that aggressive sound. The front fenders are 3 inches wider, not 3 mm! And the Sport+ mode, the needles turns yellow like the DC2 ITR.
The Integra Type S is wider 2.8 inches wider than the regular model and .4 inches wider than the CTR
All it needs is the new accord infotainment
The Ford Pinto shape is not my favorite. I like the old Integra coupe shape, it looked far better.
Made in Freedom!

Looked at one, nice, but Iam probably going to get a Golf R DSG, best year round in Wisconsin, just add winter tires👍
I just bought a tlx type-s with awd. I'm also in Wisconsin. Previously owned an accord coupe and had eaten up many subarus and trucks, suv's with some good winter tires. I recommend nokian hakkapeliittas. You don't need awd, you need to be able to stop. That's where snow tires come into play.
@@MikeYurbasovich what's the best option from Continental or Bridgestone?
@baoquoc3710 I had continental viking contacts and they are decent. Blizzaks I hear are great, but I never bought them.
I bought my gf a set of Toyo celsius winter bias tires, and those are also great if you're keeping them on year round.
@@MikeYurbasovich this morning I just got placed on top of the list for an allocation on 2024 911 base model, could happen in February and get the car in spring if that falls through back to the R for year round, thanks for the tip on the tires
@@BrewTownBiker Nice. Congratulations!
This is hysterical honestly people are such hype clowns it's not even funny car of the year? You realize ford has been making the ecoboost 4 cyl mustang for how long now and still has gobs more performance, power, and styling than this thing? 😂
It's hard to imagine this car being compared to a M240i or a AMG A35 or an Audi S3. None of these are manual transmission, none of them will be as reliable long term but yet, the Integra is up there in price. You can definitely bet it close to msrp if not at msrp if you come in with a good credit and a good down payment. Dealers need to sell these cars.
On a track, however, the Integra Type S matched the M2 Competition's lap time, let alone an M240i.
In Canada the M240i is available in 2 door only, an even less comparable option for family duty and dollar for dollar you can only get a 330xi, not the M340 which is an extra $13k in Canuckistan. Like you said, this doesn't even factor in the long term hole in your wallet the German cars will cause and am I the only person to be genuinely glad they didn't put a moonroof?
Imagine paying more than a Camaro SS, mustang 5.0, audi s4, Mercedes cla45 amg, and the list goes on. Just to get absolutely gapped and have a shittier interior
@@BrayZap on a track, the Civic Type R (which the Integra Type S is based on), posted a quicker lap time than the Audi S4 and tied the CLA45 AMG.
@@TheBreakfastLover I'm talking about in an every day straight line genius nobody goes on a track
Just looked into this car and now I want one. Great review
I’m not sure if, for a long term goal, I want to save up for this, or go a bit cheaper and snag an Elantra N… The Integra looks better, the hatch is awesome, and I love me my Honda products, but it also doesn’t necessarily come with a heck of a lot of features for a car that’s so expensive… the N also comes with a DCT and while I’ve loved driving stick in my old Accord 6-6, in traffic (which is PLENTIFUL around here.) it REALLY gets old… and I honestly don’t mind the way the N looks, plus a better warranty… tough decision! This is my dream car, but maybe after the mid-cycle improvements or another generation it’ll be more appealing!
Black is a badass color for this car. I think it would look great with a wing, especially with the aggresively styled bumpers. For 50K+ the backseats look cheap; even the ones on the mazda3 look better.
Want a wing buy the Honda.
Leather look loose & sloppy and like some amazon seat covers
Don’t sit in the back, problem solved.
Everyone loves this car. Wait until you get a look at what they have in store for '25 😏.
Honda bridging back the Prelude. But do you know what that means for the Acura version?
Think 🤔 hard for a moment. Prelude is based off the Civic. The Integra is also based off the Civic. Connect the dots.
??? Type R version? Type S version???
I don’t love it for that price tag. Dealership markups, fuck them all. Luxury Sport sedans like the M3 and C63 AMG, slightly used with 20k miles are way nicer and WAY FASTER for the same tag.
That's the only problem that Honda doesn't give there cars enough performance (except NSX) weak specs , awesome looks,feel.I still want one but i think I'll get the TLX s type
Cheap memory foam, arm rest cushion off Amazon for under $10. Problem solved. I moved my cushion over from my previous WRX. Works well.
Type S is kool …. to many safety features…. Skid control … weak…COMFORT MODE ..SPORT & SPORT PLUS…VERY WEAK….maybe in 2025 they will get it RIGHT🤑💯🤑
OH NO..... I love the outside of this car.....the inside is awesome, and then I look at this disgusting computer just sitting on top of the dash board....so ugly. It takes away from the lines of the car...this big monster computer just bolted on top of the dashboard.
Does Honda/Acura make any cars that blends into the dashboard....
slow and old, cheap interior, I don't think HONDA cares about actual performance cars for their buyers( maybe 4% of all their buyers), this thing has nothing new in it, it's the same shit for years with different covers...
Your hand should only be on the shifter when you're about to shift... so there's no need for the arm rest to be longer.
So it's slower 0-60 than a Ford Explorer ST.. LMAO..
Holy moly. 6.1-5.6 is slow AF for 320 horses and a small car, base BMWS are doing much better than that with under 250 HP
@ 1:32
No spare? Those fix-a-flat things don't work. Sorry I don't want to call a tow truck. I'll change with a spare, and be on my way.
Black is the absolute worst color on a car. It looks great but its hard to keep clean. It must be absolutely mirror clean at all times to look good. I've owned a black car before and will NEVER buy one again.
Nice car but no doubt its way over priced. also will be a thief magnet. i see many of those on there way to Montreal to Russia and Africa. The Montreal police will always be looking the other way - 😏
This car looks good until you see it on their website.. the lines seem off. You have to see this car in person.. it looks better than you think. I did price the car for the fun of it, if I was to purchase it and it came to just over $60K
2023 where driving a stick is lowkey a flex 😂😂 i love the car, the only thing i don’t like are the rear lights, they look too much like an Infiniti 😪
This car seems kind of sh*t. Slow, not true to what a teg looked like back in the day, and expensive. Not understanding the hype at all.
I test drove it. Kind of heavy feeling..was powerful just not sure how it would be banging around corners at high speed. I just was not sold for the money it cost. Great looking car but in the end it just wasn’t for me. The interior with that read was alright looking but was not a super fan. This cars kicks ass off the line but for the price I went with BMW. I just trusted the steering a ton better. Felt safe around the corners and with the rear wheel drive was awesome. I signed quickly for it.
Which BMW did you end up with
@@benderaviation I picked up a 2023 230i in pearl black. If you can grab your hands on one. They didn’t make a ton of them so my dealer told me. I luv the car…I test drive an M2 and it was nuts,,,this model is just as good. Got the 19 inch wheels in her and she looks great. The drive is amazing and control is as good if. It better than a Porsche. Only problem is I will be going thru tires slot. But hey that is the price you pay. Cheers
Great choice. I think the 230-M235i models are a compelling alternative at the price point. I just sat in both the type r and type s and it's hard to accept a nearly $60k OTD price. Especially with the interior. The S felt more luxurious but its civic roots shine through.
My dealer had no markup on the S except for $2k in dealer install accessories, while the Type R had a "flexible" $20k markup. I think a 1 year old used Type S could be a great value. Time will tell.
Its a great car, but not $50k nice. If this us $40-42k I can justify it, and would be selling like crazy.
Sad. Hoped they improved, upgraded the look of new Acura Integra. This one looks fugly so pass.
This thing is peppy and punchy around 3k to 4k rpm. Its light and flat around corners.
Mr. Mike and Co. I know y'all get the swanky top of the line models to play with, but any thoughts on the lower trims of the Integra
I've owned lots of hatchbacks, except the type r. The aspect is the best hatch I've owned.
Great car but $56k, I’m not sure? Interior looks little similar to my old 19NSX.
acura is so cheap, after like 30 years they didnt even make it all wheel drive, or didnt put a dct tranny in their type s , and they still want like 60 grand for this,
Feeling some kind of way about rev limiter in 1 st gear...sounds like too much tech control in a manual 🤔
It’s still pretty slow yes? Although someone once said it’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car faster.
0:27-0:30
That sure is a lot of body lean from a simple low speed turn, on a $55k+ car that’s marketed as a phenomenal handling vehicle. Just saying 🤷♂️
I don't know if I will pay more for less 🤔 I'll rather buy a black wing V8 stick 😊
I still don’t like the rear. Glad my TLX doesn’t look like that . I won’t get an integra til they update it
Ehhh....is an okay car. Doesn't wow me not in the least bit. That red color interior is definitely an eye sore.
13:00 Should’ve been a 5 seater with rear USBs and with a sunroof.
They better fix it at mid cycle refresh for more buyers.
14:50 More of a purist car.
16:55 Delay;suspension
68/32 weight distribution, how’s the torque steer under heavy throttle, especially off the line? 🤔
19:00 6MT FTW.
To boy racer for the price. No young person can afford it. So who did they make it for?
A FWD car for, actual pricing, around $70K CAD. No. Just no.
And it has the lamest looking gauges ever. They put 0 effort into the gauges.
there is no air vent for the back seats. Not acceptable and definitely not perfect.
You're being too picky. It's an integra, nothing luxury about it.
This car is for me. Im mid life crisis guy. I just need money so i can down one of these
i want this car so bad, have a alfa romeo giulia right now and its pretty boring
Aint nothing beating the price for power infiniti q50 vr30. Can buy right now for 30k. Tune it with downpipes, exhaust to over 460hp. Front and rear sway bars, pilot sport tires and the car will gap anything out their for just under 40k.
There's no such thing as a 2023 Integra Type S! It's a 2024
Title changed. Phew. Thanks for saving us.
An Acura RDX Type S will be fun
No spare tire is not only a zonk, it's a Red Flag of failure to provide a customers piece of mind. Sure we have reached 2023 and Yes there are tire repair kits but if the tire is entirely blown out, repair kits won't save you and you are going to rely on towing. Also some States require a spare tire for vehicle inspections. The car is also too low and should be e raised like a Mercedes Benz.
3200 lbs is the weight of a full sized car in the 60s and 320 HP puts it in the same league as my old 64 GTO. Difference is you can drive this faster without white knuckles and this should be WAY more enjoyable and reliable. I'd buy one if I was willing to spend 50K for a car but I'm not.
looks great
Respect for naming your camera man ,respect goes a long way!
We’re a team! 50/50 👍
@@ACCELER8TVHi Mike, how does the e39 M5 compare to the Type S? Is the M5 a faster car compared to the Type S? Which car is more fun and which do you prefer?
2024 TLX Type S for me .....i say 24 because they fixed and added everything i hated yeah needs more power ill be selling my 2021 Camaro 2SS 1le to get it so i hope power difference dont bother me so much but i def need a change ...
Dope car, just wished it made a bit more power from the factory
CTR thanks
It’s not a real sport car, so don’t even try and don’t need to feel bad either 😂
Ive driven the ITS but I havnt done a 0-60 run. However, as an FL5 owner you can absolutely hit 60 in second gear. Best case scenerios in the Type R is 4.8-9s from what I have seen.
