I have a 2023 A Spec trim and it has everything I need. It does have a few flaws though. It come with no spare tire, no USB or power connections for rear passengers, no rear center armrest, and the cabin interior road noise is high. All of these are inexcusable in a vehicle that cost $35K.

I just bought the 2024 A Spec and the only thing I regret (and it’s a big regret) is the poor quality of the speakers. I wish I would have gotten the Tech for the sound system. Any suggestions on how or what I can do to upgrade the speakers that work with the OEM system? I don’t want to take to a big box retailer to upgrade because I don’t want to void any warranty if it gets messed up with the wrong amplifier…

@@joeb7348 not sure what options you have out there in regards to audio upgrades. There should be a Plug n Play direct replacement. We are experienced in Tesla Audio system upgrades and it's a pretty easy process. We've done a good number of Model 3 and Model Y.

Thanks for the post. Been going back and forth trying to see if the extra $3k for the A-Spec with Tech is worth it. Definitely more features on the A-Spec with Tech and the interior is much nicer. Funny that the 6 MT is only available in the A-Spec Tech. It used to be the other way around

You could get a civic sport touring hatch with way more equipment than the spec without the tech package. You basically get a lot of stuff that’s in the Tech package on the Civic sport touring hatch because I owned it! So really it’s a better deal just to get a civic sport touring hatch if you’re not not gonna get that Tech package.

That’s what I thought to. Then I went to Honda dealership and every single civic sport touring hatch they were selling was marked up by $3-4k. They all came out to around $35k. Which is what the Integra A spec costs…. It’s a No brainer to go with the Integra at that point.
