A Better Type R? // 2024 Acura Integra Type S Review

[@SlabSheetrock]

My first real car, bought with "real" Air Force E-4 money, was a '92 Integra. To this day it's in my top 3 cars I've ever owned and now, staring down the barrel of 50, I find myself looking at Integras again. Awesome review, Sarah.

[@chas4life]

Mine was an '89 LS and I thought it was extravagant because it was so well designed and equipped. The engine would rev to the moon (handling was "ok") Legend has it the thing is still running with over 300k miles. Wonder if they still have the vinyl bag for the removable moonroof.

[@Rubeless]

Mine was a 89 civic si I bought in 92. I’ve had mostly Tacomas and 4Runners since, but 4 cars that cost 5-8 times as much as the civic and the si rules. It was awesome.

[@matthernandez210]

DA integras are amazing best body lines. I had a 90 gs for over 10 years. Stock to built with a super charger.

[@devilsurfer]

LOL same here! as an Air Force E-4, I also had an Integra Ls 92

[@lanceripplinger8352]

Sarah dressed to match the car 🔥🔥🔥

[@Zzyyxx22]

Always!

[@danielrobey1759]

That skirt 🤯

[@shaunlavoie6183]

​@@danielrobey1759seconded!

[@garymarshall4445]

a 10 for sure!

[@violinmiata]

Our hero has style

[@tedjordan9038]

And the award for most engines specs quoted while kneeling on a shop stool goes to: Sarah!

[@SarahnTuned]

I’ve gotten it down to first try more often than not now, it’s hard for me because sometimes I slur words or say things dyslexic.

[@dougmiller7944]

I think sometimes I'm Lysdexic also😉@@SarahnTuned

[@garytate8284]

this is a 5 star car review! Great detail, fun and editing. Hard to believe your reviews keep getting better, Sarah!

[@desertrat77]

I always love watching the thrill on your face when you're behind the wheel of a fun car! 😅

[@mrwest5552]

@dougharding5231 - agreed

[@trueconspiracies7945]

Sarah needs to consider a part time job as a standup comedian. I always enjoy the humor. 😄

[@gustavoflorio5383]

If only the day had 32 hours...

[@PrecisionAcc]

no, it's situational humor, not a bit. Nice try though

[@Pauley_in_GP]

@@gustavoflorio5383 I'm convinced that Sarah must have a clone or two helping out. One of them spends time finding her outfits that match the cars. ❤

[@krimzonhex6896]

Agreed 10000000% it’s about time Acura!

[@FA24D]

I’m thinking sitcom 😂

[@seabrookmx]

The Savage Geese are actually from the Chicagoland area, not Canada! Though if you want some Canadian coverage, The Straight Pipes, Speed Academy and Throttle House have all covered the Integra Type S I'm pretty sure :)

[@SarahnTuned]

Ah, I assumed Canada because goose

[@garyworokevich2524]

No worries, happens a lot in the states.@@SarahnTuned

[@mamounalnasr2469]

So has Motormouth😊

[@simonalexandercritchley439]

The honk is different.

[@cartilagehead]

Amazing how much better the changes to the front end make the Type S look vs the base or A Spec

[@SarahnTuned]

I like both 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@philipschrantz8402]

That 2-3 shift was a thing of beauty. Great driving!

[@Frozenplain204]

Amongst the top 5 car reviewers out there! We get hands on specs, cars in hoist, then honest driving impressions without the sales brochure B.S. other reviewers do.

[@Colbybartley]

Absolutely adore the Type S and those bronze wheels.

[@silviaprimero5106]

Love the tone of your voice and how this review differs from a sea of reviews in that it comes from some one who understand how it works, knows a lot of history of cars and can easily compare anything from new cars competitors to its predecessors. Many reviews like reviewing a new appliance and don’t have the a gear head and the passion of a car enthusiast. Great work, absolutely love the love you display for projects and the fun you have while reviewing new cars

[@OGkush69x]

Woah what a great and detailed review. Finally a review channel with all the information you want. Cant believe this girl beat most other male reviewers who look clueless about cars and just ramble on dealer ad specs. SUBSCRIBED!!

[@mikeklein4949]

Great review! The Type S seems a far more livable daily driver than the Type R and a lot of other cars.

[@lanternsown3525]

I love the sound of the engine to Thanks Sarah sharing this car with us.

[@ACGreviews]

My lord that is a pretty car. Good review.

[@RoyGNH]

What car? 😂

[@Yormsane]

The 3-door coupe that we all want... a 2025 RSX! Come on Acura, it's been almost 20 years. We miss that little canyon carver.

[@Nonakame]

Great View! From an AP1 S2000 owner a hot tip, keep a neoprene beer cozy in your car to cover your shift knob during daylight hours! I have the shift pattern branded on my right palm. (Sorry for the bad pun)

[@IKnewMickey]

Credit to the camera car driver. And Sarah Ofc. Every shot deliberately chosen to be a better video than other YT channels. 👍👏🏻

[@SarahnTuned]

Charlie was camera car that time

[@paul96zj]

Totally appreciated the Pontiac wide track reference!

[@tonygiraldes7848]

I’m certain this will be yet another epic review! 😊 Sarah is just the greatest!

[@mostcom]

Don't do it, it's a trick!

[@herrunsinn774]

Just where do you get all that energy, Sarah? Not only are you meticulous in your builds, but you also find time to do these great reviews... and to top it off, you always look well-rested and flawless in your appearance. Whatever you are taking, I want some! Ha ha! I'm so glad to see you reviewing this Acura. I've specifically been hoping you would review it (even encouraging you to try to get one for review a few weeks ago.😊)

[@ericcindycrowder7482]

You nailed that 2-3 upshift during the bean test!

[@rockman4699]

Aloha Miss Sarah. Style and humor on point. Don't ever change!

[@eleisonv3510]

This lady has very unique reviews with a style all her own. Entertaining and informative

[@SATO_FD2R]

I love the Type S, but I’ll never give up my TLX Type S or FD2 Type R. :3

[@sippinh2o]

I love that in the end, I get to see all the color choices. Great humor as well

[@TeeDee-j9u]

The Type-S exhibits greater torque in the midrange when compared to the CTR.

[@bannerrecording]

Anyone else want to see a compilation of just the bolstering test? Yeah. That would be awesome. :)

[@abc-def791]

You worked on your little sisters xterra. I have replaced. Plugs, coils, injectors, o2 sensors, all 4 cats . Truck still vibrates and putters a bit

[@samuelince6144]

I have an 04 tsx and I am drooling over this 🤤

[@terryivanov9009]

Love the new editing tricks with hairy cardboard 😂😂😂🤌🏻

[@tomdrummy4984]

The grown up version of civic type R 🙂. A little disappointed Sarah didn’t wear red and black skirt to match interior. 😁

[@hankhillsnrrwurethra]

I've had mine about a month and I LOVE it. Gold, pretty close to Sarah's Celica.

[@Member_1115]

110% agree with you Sarah on why no 2-door hatchback as with prior Integras of the yesteryears.

[@jenkinslerias9021]

Love this car a lot but I wish dealerships didn’t give markups. Went to a dealership and the total of the car with markup 71k!!! Might just wait a year until I get one

[@GoodKong.BadKong]

Wow, you gave this thing a 10. I don't think I've ever seen that from you before. To each their own.

[@1969Risky]

The '94-'01 Integra's are my favourite. You can thrash it about & it just wants more & more until you hit a tree.

[@j8me11]

Great review. You give such better detail than most other channels out there. Thank you!

[@rickhorsley9383]

Your reviews are the best! Sarah

[@TheRoyalflush666]

Looking beautiful as always Sarah!! Acura makes great looking and performing cars

[@jtubad4748]

Bring the legend back with this same design full size couple and 4 door.😊

[@TheFalseProdigy]

It’s likely the same turbocharger, but the reason the type s makes more power with lower boost is because the flow is better optimized on the intake side, reducing boost pressure by derestricting flow

[@cafe405]

A retro look would be great, but in truth, Im just grateful its not an SUV.

[@IdrisFashan]

That greasy smirk when you light it up for the first time… YASSSS!!! I can’t wait to see this thing in person. I’m in northern Canada, so it’ll probably be 2026 or so…😅

[@chaos4197]

Another excellent car review. I have to tell you, that little graphic of the widebody charger when you were describing the width was one of the funniest things I have seen in a while. Touches like that are what make your reviews stand out. Well done.

[@etn_a90]

Am I the only one that gets reminded of a Genesis Coupe tailights?

[@twernimont420]

YESS! I've been waiting for this video from you Sarah. I drive an 01 CL type-S and I love it. I aspire to own this Integra some day.

[@C1XX_TurboBlazer]

Right on brotha. I'm personally taking my J32A2 and AV6 and throwing them in my 2002 Accord eventually. The CL was definitely a fun car though. Made a lot of friends and a lot of enemies with it by people who can't control their emotions 🤣

[@chillausmc]

I have the type r and wish the acura was sitting in the next lot over for that test drive. thank you so much for this one.

[@zamomix]

11:55 love that you're tuning to BPM

[@acalanathashiva2811]

Thanks for the great review. I have been on a Civic Type R FL5 since May 2023. I understand well what the difference is. Type S is a sibling car, but if you have enough money, I would like to have a type S as well. The convenient Type R, which can carry people and luggage in the backseat, is very popular in Japan.😊

[@brianjansen3513]

I loved your reaction to the acceleration during the beans portion. Very nice review.

[@neoanderson7]

It was about to get really deep when you were revealing real world facts lately. 😉👏🏻 Always with the ideal ensemble when reviewing. 👍🏻😎

[@Tim_English_Loves_Diecast]

Love your reviews, great content!!😍🥰🤣 Love your sense of humor as well.🥰

[@Tigerex966]

The 2025 prelude 2 door coupe may also be the 2026 integra hybrid base and awd type s version.

[@bearddevil]

100% agree with you on this. I almost pulled the trigger on an A-spec, but decided that I'd be disappointed if I didn't get the Type S.

[@huanweili7699]

If you get the A spec, you're better off getting a mini van 😆 😅

[@bearddevil]

@@huanweili7699 funnily enough, I did end up getting the minivan. It's so relentlessly practical

[@EddieRicks-i8v]

I have been watching your videos for some time now and you so funny 😂 and my favorite was the tt videos because it was one of my first cars I own. 😊

[@gustavoflorio5383]

Funny mind Sarah is always a delight 😅

[@larryordine7542]

I know it's not the best sport option but if you want a Acura performance GT, an automatic would be appreciated since the Honda version doesn't have one.

[@dmp0x]

Nice! a new car with the correct transmission! Very refreshing! Oh and another great review as per usual

[@morick11]

Jonesing for a '74 Celica video! Not complaining because I know you're busy and it's not your only project! Just saying!

[@SarahnTuned]

Starting on it this week again likely

[@richardw64]

My Penguin score for you and your channel 10 always.

[@frankclaudy1031]

Great review as always, loved the implications for middle rear passengers with the cup-holder.

[@rstuff1605]

I have to agree with lanceripplinger. I just rolled through watching both ads while writing this 😮 lol but ❤❤❤

[@krimzonhex6896]

I’m so excited! ❤🎉 congratulations Acura and by the way it’s about time!

[@darksideemt]

Great review. Not sure if anyone mentioned but the Integra has one less resonator than the CTR and that is why it sounds better. In your video when you show the under side you will notice they both have the big center one but the Integra is missing the front one. Actually spoke before you posted the diagram showing what I just said...lol. I am seriously getting one of the 2 between CTR/ITR and think after watching a ton of reviews I'm going CTR.

[@jeininja]

i love your car reviews! so detailed and engaging. with the amount of cuts and editing made this could be its own show! appreciate the great work :)

[@davidmartin4335]

Your car reviews are always excellent Sarah Keep up the great work

[@mtacoustic1]

Ooooo! White with red interior - my favorite combination!

[@weazleman36]

You mentioned the door chime. Fun fact that you probably already knew. Older Honda’s door beeping was Morse code for H. (4 short beeps)

[@drexel5146]

Has anyone seen a KZbinr other than Sarah Give awesome tech specs with her own digital caliper?

[@vinuyajohn719]

I'm amaze how you put all those information, what a well review you really put so much effort. Keep it up

[@grimsler3947]

The Tyupe S was already put on a track against the type R and they both came up with the same lap time

[@gleng6812]

Scores for Sarah Today are 10 For Content, 10 For a great review and 10 for looking great 🔥

[@pintiocu5212]

You're putting a smile on people's faces 🙂

[@VTECnKitKats]

Sarah I believe you had the boost numbers backwards. ITS boost is 25.2psi and the CTR is 23.3 and where the extra numbers are for the ITS. Savagegeese also mentioned the extra boost giving the ITS much better lower end torque on the track. And yes, they also mentioned the stability/traction control cannot be fully defeated without going into maintenance mode on the ITS like the CTR

[@automagni]

The CTR has a center exhaust valve as well. Also, the engine is K20C8. Nice Vid!

[@davelospinoso9022]

Acura has something special here... I hope Honda continues doing their thing

[@caddyak93]

I prefer the CTR exhaust note but if that’s the reason there’s +14 HP and +4 torque, I’ll happily take the Acura exhaust. This is the kind of attention to detail and technical specs I wish more reviews had

[@ianprice2298]

I just put the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on mine, and that is a big size for that car. I could only fit a 275/30-20 on mine, and that is really tight to the knuckle. Audi A5 Sportback.

[@SaudadeSunday]

I'm holding out hope for someone to put out a 3-door hatchback again. It's just the ideal form for a car. Would like to see an RSX again.

[@GokuInstinct1]

You're such a car nerd and I love it

[@chuckcastelo3572]

Well I have never been this early...my timing was perfect I guess. I know this will be another great video, and thanks for everything you do!

[@staypufft80]

Nice reference to the Old WideTrack GP of yesteryear!

[@lordraiden5398]

When I was in my 20's I was all about Hondas. Then in my 30's I switched to Subarus. Now in my mid 50's I am all about how much I get for the money. While this is a beautiful car the 2024 Mustang GT Premium has 100 more horsepower for the price as tested on this car. The Type S will have more interior space and as I said is much better looking but 100 more horsepower from a growling V8 is a serious decision to make.

[@kimbrojw2]

been watching some of your vidoes as I am learning about b18 k24 and j35 platform performance and suspension. cool content, i picked up a type-s tl and plan on restoring, it is in rural pickup truck condition. I posted a video about it next to my TLX tech the other day. keep up the cool fact z

[@jetsons101]

Sarah, I thought the GO-PRO was going to fly off the car during the breaking test..... Thanks for posting.

[@bsmirnov]

Looking sharp! And the wheels... RAD!

[@jeffcoulter7181]

If it was 4wd or rear wheel drive it would be a weapon

[@anotherperspective6247]

Two things Honda doesn't do are RWD or V8s.

[@theapplepaul]

Sarah once again showing how it's done. 👏

[@chrisvigo4880]

Has anyone ever tried to make a hybrid using modern technology on a older vehicle? For instance, a 98 Type R completely inspired by 2023 type r? I'm talking lights, engine, transmission, suspension etc.

[@y0ungtchalla420]

I love your car reviews, one of the best.

[@davidkucher5.0Coy]

Love the car Sarah, looks like it would be a lot of fun to drive. 😎👌👍P.S love to hear your a cat lover, cause so am I 😻👍

[@rufusmaximus2031]

Hey Sarah, any chance you will ever do a review on the new Audi RS 3? I think it will be one of your favorite reviews.

[@roymurray6374]

Happy Monday evening Sarah!!! That triple muffulator set up under there looks rad!! Was cool BSn with you and Charlie at O'Reillys earlier, cool to see how stoked Charlie is about the new gig. Keep your eyes peeled for those 4 legged road hazards.🤣 Stay excellent!!!😎

[@Jeffrose_]

I don't even like your review videos. I just watch them to see you 😊

[@KemDIY]

Wow 160 HP per liter!!! That’s impressive. Would love to see a scaled up Acura V8 with that type of output / liter or a 3.0 liter V6 in this car with 400+ HP.

[@aaronfox5808]

Luv your input on the rides. Hooked on your channel, Thank you for doing what you do for us.

[@Chiroman527]

Sarah, another typically Thorough Car Review!! Why does Not Acura tune the same engine in this manner for their RDX? Same 2.0L Turbo charged 4 cylinder. 304 HP in a 2023 RDX would really be over the top!

[@blck04gt]

The '23 CTR has an active valve on the center exhaust as well, just FYI.
