Integra Type S Review After 1,500 Miles

What's it like to live with the Integra Type-S after one month and over 1,000 miles later? Does it still feel special after the initial hype has worn off or does it still continue to bring smiles? In this video I share my thoughts on my car and why I think Acura made something special for the right kind of customer.

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.

[@davekaylor458]

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!

@@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.

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.

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.

Was very close of going with a ITS but ultimately went with the CTR last month. They both drive very similarly(obviously) but the interior of the Type R is ultimately what sold me. Both vehicles have some features that the other vehicle doesnt have and vice versa so its all about what you want to compromise and rather have more when it comes right down to it. 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.

Nice review! I love the DE5. The trunk release button is kind of pointless, but what it does is it let's you unlock the trunk once and keeps the rest of the vehicle locked. Pointless if you have the vehicle set to auto lock and you are getting something out of your own trunk. The only use case really is if someone else needs to grab something out of the trunk and you unlock the trunk alone via remote, then the vehicle is fully locked again once the trunk is closed.

[@AutoEnthusedTV]

I learned about this later on. And yes, it’s such a specific use case that it’s practically a useless feature to me

Good review. I have over 2,600 miles in the 1.5 months I’ve had mine. I have a 90ish round trip commute. I can’t praise the clutch enough. I have no complaints in the stretches of stop and go traffic. I agree I wish high quality parts here and there and YES it would have been great if there was a bigger gas tank. 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. In Comfort it’s not as bad but still present. I get the rattles in the center of the dash and somewhere around the passenger side door/window. The biggest complaint I have is, I feel it’s over priced especially having to pay a 5k mark up.

[@tpolerex7282]

Rattles emanating from a brand new $50k car is unconscionable, it would drive me bonkers. You can have a stiff chassis and firmly riding suspension and still have the assembly quality and materials to tamp down rattles. I’m six months in a ‘24 Impreza RS - different class car but a firm riding five door hatch with low profile tires - and the chassis is super stiff, buttoned down and silent af. I still am a big fan of the Integra though.

[@apyung19]

It has driven me nuts and taken away from the driving experience to the point I am in the process of trading it in. I’m sad to let it go but I’m even more sad for the reason of letting it go.

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.

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.

$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. The Type S doesn't come with a slush box for a reason ! Its not a car for the masses. Once the hype calms down I expect the prices will too.

I should get this for my daily driver.

[@rexvaughn986]

Nice review. Have you had any issues with rattles or squeak?

[@MS-mr4zm]

I had driven early 2000s NSX & S2000, if the shifter in this is similar it’s gotta be awesome

Signed up for the pre-order on May 14, and 4 months later, I've had very little communication at all and I only got 1 update after complaining about no updates. So far, I'm feeling pretty disappointed with this whole process. I would really love to have some kind of idea of when I could expect it to come in. I guess for some reason I was expecting that signing up for the pre-order meant that I would be getting one fairly quickly and I was not prepared for how long it would take.

I think a lot of people got screwed on the pre-order thing. I didn't even decide to buy one of these until August, but contacted a couple dealers to get on the list. 2 weeks later I got a call saying they got one in and the person who reserved it couldn't go through with it, was I interested? I went in the next day and bought it with a $699 markup. That was the end of August. Hopefully you get yours soon. They are nice cars and a lot of fun to drive despite what all the whiners on the intertubes say. Perfect car? No. But I'm still waiting to see a perfect car.
