Integra Type S Review After 1,500 Miles

[@murrynathan]

When Jay Leno drove the Type S on his show, he kept saying, “This reminds me of my NSX.” Savagegeese say the gearbox is on par with the 911. I think what Acura have made is a 4 cylinder Super Car.

[@LateNightDateNight]

I think that’s a bit much lol. Reported cabin rattles after a few thousand miles, 0-60 times around 5.5-6 seconds, a lack of amenities you’d expect from the price point.. there isn’t much in the realm of super here. Honda has a great gear box, and every Honda has a Honda feel but as a multiple time Porsche and Honda owner, no way in hell is this anything to break the bank on.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

Stop. Get some help

[@JacesOwnWorld]

⁠​⁠@@LateNightDateNightfacts! It isn’t anything special at all. It’s a plain-Jane 2.0T FWD sedan. Yeah, it can handle okay, and it’s 6spd feels good, but any set of sport suspension and SSK to any other FWD manual car, and it will feel just as good as this. For that guy to say Acura has made a super car is the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a long time.

[@JonHop1]

@@wesgomes9348 Why the heck are people paying this much money for a fwd 4-cylinder? I just dont get it. I work for Acura, own an fk8, and have driven the fl5 and Type S on the track during test days. These cars are so massively overpriced its insane. I ended up getting a really rare 2018 Focus RS for $31,000, and it has a fully built motor making 500whp, and a built PPG transmission. Night and day better car, and just as comfortable to daily. I also have an AWD 2006 RSX Type S, and let me just tell you, these new Honda's are NOTHING like the fun older variants. They are a bore in comparison. Everything that made old Honda's fun and enjoyable to drive, are gone now in these new Honda's. The super high revving engine and Vtec crossover.. Such a fun and raw driving experience. You get none of that. And you know what the best part of old Honda were? THEY WERE AFFORDABLE to normal people!

[@TheCarCrazyGuy]

A week ago tomorrow I picked up my Platinum White Pearl Integra Type S at Valencia Acura in Valencia CA. Although I wanted a Civic Type R none could be found at MSRP or without ridiculous dealer add ons. My car was reserved for another customer who backed out last minute. I was sold the car at just MSRP. It did have a small ding on the top of the hatch which was promptly corrected before delivery. The passenger rocker panel was scratched but the dealer will replace it. Thankfully the part comes pre painted. I should have that swapped out hopefully next week. While there I'm having them install the Copper Accessory wheels. It's going to be sweet. I just love it. My past Integra was a 1996 GSR which I purchased new. I wish I still had it. I previously owned a 2019 Civic Type R in Championship White. Very nice video. Enjoy.

[@Coedai_76]

Great review and nice car! I think Acura should have added a few more features since this is targeted more to a luxury buyer. Power passenger seat, cooled seats, moonroof, rear air vents, and rear usb ports would be great additions.

[@TheRealOne24]

And all of those minus the cooled seats are already in the A Spec, so it's a bit disappointing to not have them in the more expensive trim

[@omariwest9068]

lack of cooled seats and moonroof are deal breakers for me at the price point.

[@bbennett4339]

I agree on those features which seem relatively small potatoes, though I don't care about a moonroof. I bought one anyway (Type S) and it is a really fun car.

I love my LCM Type-S! Mine actually came in before I expected it to, but I am less than two hours from the plant. I agree with the HomeLink missing, but hard to really say anything I don't like about it. I traded an Integra A-Spec Tech that I had for under a year, that I traded an '18 Si in on. I almost passed on the car, I liked the A-Spec so much. I was scheduled for an oil change in the A-Spec on a Saturday when my salesman called to tell me they were going to build my car the next week, which would bring me to a decision. They had the demo on their lot on Saturday, and when I started it, my wife looked at me, and we both knew, and after a short test drive, the decision was firm! I picked it up the following Thursday, and had back surgery on Friday, but I'm driving it again and loving it!

[@scottmcclellan2040]

I picked up an a spec this year and I’ve absolutely loved it , my uncles raptor had some issues and I let him borrow it for the week while it was in the shop. Long story short he loved it so much he went and bought a type s lol so much more fun I think an upgrade is due soon 😅

Nice review, thanks. This car reminds me of my favorite car I’ve ever owned. That was a 1990 Acura Legend sedan with a 5-speed manual. That car was so comfortable and yet so much fun to drive, especially with the 2.7L V6 mated to a manual transmission. That engine was silky smooth as a sewing machine. This truly is a Legend reborn. Too bad it took Acura 34 years to do it.

[@jomardiaz78]

I have driven mine for 2000 miles now and honestly I love everything about it. I am considering changing the steering wheel to the alcantara one as wheel. But indeed I do love my stock shifter.

[@thinkforyourself5672]

Have you ever owned an Alcantara steering wheel? I'm more than happy they have leather again. The alcantara gets disgusting from your hand oils. Gets all matted down and gnarly. And it's pain in the ass to clean. I'm very happy I don't have to brush my steering wheels multiple times a week

[@ag4allgood]

I drove a 1997 Acura Integra GSR for 17+ years. Great handling car with the double wishbone suspension. Light enough to dance thru any S curves at speed feeling like it was on rails even though its FWD. Acura really did some magic job on that car. Hatchback design so the backseats flipped down to a big storage area. Now it would be injustice not to talk about the 4 cylinder naturally aspirated 8000 Red Line revving engine that with an AEM cold air intake let the meanest growl you could ever imagine with the stock exhaust. It absolutely terrified people in the warm weather with their windows down as I ripped by thru the gears. All for a reasonable $20,000 ! This new Integra Type S looks much bigger ( wider & longer). The turbo engine is a 4 cylinder work of art. However the cost of this car runs $51,000 to $57,500+ ! While the new Type S has a much nicer interior the function is still what the old Integra gave too. My gripe is that it will never be in the price range of most young enthusiasts like the old Integra. It was what 5 or 6 years that Acura got rid of the manual transmissions in their cars. This new Integra brought back the manual to Acura.

[@AutoEnthusedTV]

Totally get it but we also have to take into account inflation. Everything is much more expensive now and I think one other thing we forget is that a lot less younger buyers are actually interested in cars compared to our generation. This makes this more of a niche product as time goes on.

[@thehondacura3773]

$52k is overpriced for this class of vehicle. There is so much more you can buy with the added dealer butt F%*# costs🤮 Shifting a manual transmission goes all the way back to the 1986 Integra 5-door, and through the GS-R, Type-R, and Type-S years. The original USDM Type-S arrived in June 2001 as a 2002 model. A manual is only a selling point for noobs now🙄

@@thehondacura3773 Noobs won't Buy a manual because they can't use their smart phones while driving ! Its the enthusiasts who want a manual transmission. Not someone who has never had one.

I'm honestly grateful I have the A-spec w/ Tech CVT over this one - with the amount of features the omitted in the Type-S over mine. And 21 MPG that is rough... I can get almost 40 MPG regularly. It may not have as much wow-factor, but I certainly still have a lot of fun driving it regardless.

ITS has few more bose speakers, better exhaust, rear LED turns to name a few while the CTR has better seats, racing/S2000 style odometer, data log, bigger wing ,etc. They both are great cars either way.

I average about 21-22MPGs between my commute and city driving over the weekend. I have/noticed interior rattles under hard acceleration/higher RPMs in Sport + does kill the vibe for me.

[@AutoEnthusedTV]

You totally forgot about the G-Wagen. And Caymans. And Corvettes. And GT350's. And Supras. And Mavericks. And Civic Si's, etc.

Everything is overpriced now

Picked up an ITS for $44k before tax with 10k on it 👍

[@FishinglifeNW]

Great job. Quality video

[@GA08GT478]

Beautifully shot video.

[@KeySSShaa]

I know what I will say might be controversial to some, but i really wish they made it AWD automatic.

[@KeySSShaa]

I will be trading m435 for the tlx type S, but the integra looks better in my opinion, more my type.

[@ralphlazio505]

It would’ve been awesome if they would’ve made an AWD package.

[@svfutbol20]

Never felt that I need it on mine

[@mebeingU2]

Really nice review. It’s clear that the ‘missings’ you believe the car should have are all beancounter cuts that produce additional income by their absence. It’s surprising they didn’t include those items in this competitive midsize sport segment.

[@lionary]

Great review! Great photography!

[@jmorenop13]

9:55. That intersection is right next to the High school I went to. Pretty cool to see

[@alexandernelson477]

I have an integra, it's my favorite car I've ever owned.

[@J-YouTube324]

Great video. Very informative!

[@johnm5131]

cool car. I've owned all the generations of Integra, so glad they brought it back. BUT, the price is a non-starter. How can anyone look at this without thinking: Supra or M2?? It would be different if it had a fine V or inline 6, but it has the same modern vacuum cleaner over-boosted 4. To help you forget it is a $8K engine, they pump fake sound into it, and make the exhaust do the fake backfires.Acura, re-introduce it at $39K.

[@svfutbol20]

I wanted a four door car with power, manual gearbox, and reliability. Very few options out there

[@eiros59]

Honda shifters are just the best, even in a base Accord. I had a 1994 GSR that’s been gone for 20 years now and have not owned a car with a better shifter.

[@justinh8959]

At a price over $60k for a 4 cylinder turbo engine FWD vehicle, I wouldn’t touch this thing with a 10 foot pole. Over priced and not measuring up to the performance for the price. At this price I’d rather get a BMW M3.40i X Drive or IS500 F Sprot Performance Premium. This Integra type S is a complete rip off. Rather even get the TSX type S.

[@David5Suggs]

When you're criticizing the door switches & headliner, you know you're really struggling to find something to be critical of.

[@jeholloway2]

Well done. Informative and engaging.

[@schapediddly]

When you showed the wireless carplay and proceeded to say it was acceptable, it instantly made me question every other opinion you had on the car.

[@AutoEnthusedTV]

As you should. Never take a random youtuber’s word at face value.

[@hartmutthomas989]

ich sage auch : Honda ist gut. Top Kundendienst der den Kunden wie eine Respektperson behandelt . Mich wundert das Honda in Deutschland zu wenig Beachtung findet .

[@bubbablack9595]

How much markups the dealer was asking?

[@NFiltr8Red]

Test drove it myself for the first time and I will say the torque steering is pretty obvious, the power is good, if only they would have made it AWD…….. PERFECTION.

[@AutoEnthusedTV]

Yes, it’s very obvious if you go hard on the throttle. For everyday driving it’s easy to forget it’s a FWD

[@NFiltr8Red]

@@AutoEnthusedTV , I daily a 2019 Civic Si, it took a couple street lights to find the happy medium to not get it to lose traction. Rev matching was fun, I will say the stereo system is PHENOMENAL. The interior was kinda blah, just a hair better than my Si,

[@zone47]

Honda and Acura need to study the German cars and learn how to design a quiet cabin in their cars. They haven't got there yet. I like features of the Type S but don't think it's worth $9K over the Honda type R. The high back on the rear of the car makes my back ache just looking at it... I had enough of that with my Type S RSX. I like the looks, the heavy metal flake paint, the slightly crackly engine and of course the Acura drive train quality. Good and honest review, thanks.

[@n8dizzel4shizzel]

I love my type s and I use individual with everything set to sport plus and suspension to comfort

[@AutoEnthusedTV]

Same!

[@slination1975]

How do you not have more subscribers? Amazing video!

[@lgbman]

That was a great honest car review. Great video and commentary ... worth a "Subscribe".

[@fb8700]

I’ve owned a few Acura Tsxs’ in the past. Loved them. High quality . Great cars. I actually really liked the integra as a kid but never could afford one. I currently have a c8. I think I’m going to buy one of these as well. You only live once 😊 right?

[@souleater9763]

What an awesome video. Great job.

[@thegreenberetlife0191]

Beautiful car and excellent review!

[@99subigt]

I can't get over the fact that looks like one of the newer honda civic with a body kit, In my area that is PA I have yet to see a brand new one lower than 55k and a used one with a little more than 3k goes for 50k, that is crazy!!

[@mrnrfan182]

I entertained trading my FK8 CTR for the ITS. After adding the heated steering wheel (should be standard), the more aggressive CF trunk spoiler (which is the proper one for this car), bronze wheels (I want it in white), and the blacked out emblems, this car was well into the 60k price point after taxes and fees. I couldn’t justify trading my 37k CTR which is largely the same car… And the missing features, like ventilated seats, rear HVAC, a 5th seat, power passenger seat, memory settings for your seats, a sunroof (which I don’t actually want and prefer my cars without), is a bit silly considering it’s supposed to be a “luxury” car. For comparison of features only…my winter beater is a CX-30 which cost me 35k (40k OTD). It has a full leather interior, power front seat with memory settings, a sun roof, rear vents, a HUD, rain sensing wipers, headlights the move as you corner, adaptive cruise, heated seats, HEATED STEERING WHEEL, a 5th seat, a middle seat arm rest, AWD, and a turbo charged 250HP engine that will get from 0-60 just a bit slower (about 1.5 seconds) than the Type S. Explain to me how a basic economy car that comes in under 40k has MORE features than a 50k+ “luxury” car. The ITS doesn’t have an increase in performance over it’s cheaper CTR sibling and it has fewer luxury features than the TLX. So who is this car for? The person who wants a more expensive Type R but a cheaper TLX?

[@AutoEnthusedTV]

There’s no one way to explain why anyone would (not should) get the ITS but here’s where I personally see it. If you wanted to buy a house with every single piece of luxury and amenity you can think of, you are not likely able to get it in a particular neighborhood. Some houses don’t have all the things I *might* want but it could be they are in a neighborhood that I prefer. Because ultimately, I would choose whatever it is that calls to me as my “home” based on my preference and not simply by quantifying every single detail. The FK8 was always a car I “kind of” liked but I just couldn’t get past the looks. I could’ve gotten an FK8 now since they’re much cheaper but I still would rather get the ITS because that one calls to me.

[@kpreno]

Your review hit me right in the feels... Thanks, Man! I love this car 🙂👍❣

[@thedevilsadvocate3710]

The question that matters the most is, how much did you pay over MSRP? How much was it marked up?

[@memphisraines8118]

Exactly. Around here... 20k markup. Keep it 😂

[@BrokenLuxury777]

Market Adjustment 😂
