The 2024 Acura Integra Type S Is A Track Capable Luxury Oriented Driver's Car

With the introduction of the first-ever #IntegraTypeS, the latest #Acura #Integra becomes a MUCH more desirable car for enthusiasts looking for something a little nicer than a #CivicTypeR. Borrowing essentially most of the hardware from the #TypeR, the new #TypeS Integra promises to be the luxury oriented track ready driver's car that more mature buyers wanting to drive a manual transmission are yearning for.

Happy Monday everyone! We're SO excited to finally show you our full review with driving impressions on the first-ever Integra Type S and this car doesn't disappoint! The sound alone will make Type R owners green with envy. Do you guys feel the extra $7k on the Acura is money well spent compared to a Type R? Let us know below!

Finally! Someone mentioned the headroom when you lean back. Everyone is saying good headroom but not leaning back to show where their head touches.

Looks like the art of driving the manual transmission has been lost, sadly. All of the reviewers I've seen so far are not adept at driving manual transmissions, sadly.

[@simonsmith582]

Another great review Sofyan!! I was eagerly waiting for this one as I'm near the top of my local dealer's wait list. Seems like the the wait will be worth it! FYI, as far as I know, the Canadian Civic Type R does not come with heated seats, the Si is the model with much more content vs the US model. As for the Type S, so far the only difference I can find when compared to the US model, I believe we (Canada) also get a heated steering wheel. Happy driving!!

Definitely nice looking car and appears very fun to drive per your expressions during the video. Hate no sunroof but anxious to see what the markups look like on these.

Confirmed: the Integra Type S makes 15 more horsepower overall, and 30 more lb-ft of torque in the low end compared to the Civic Type R FL5. This is based on back-to-back dyno's at King Motorsports.

The type S in blue and orchid interior is just perfection. When they start talking about how little importance AWD is I had to roll my eyes. As someone who needs a year round vehicle driving int he rockies with snow you will come to realize the importance of AWD + snow tires in the mountains with snow. The RDX with SH-AWD is just nuts how competent it was this past winter. Just not really fun to drive like this would be.

[@ROVA00]

If it had AWD it wouldn’t be an integra at all. It would weigh at least 600lb more, would need more HP and torque to move that weight, which means even higher price tag.

Rob is 100% right. We are conditioned to believe that FWD is only bad and AWD is the only good....what started to solidify that thinking for me is this: Would Acura sell this car in Canada if they weren't confident that FWD is all you need? My thought is no, absolutely not. They're basically saying, you really don't need it with this car. Review after review, what comes out is the surprise over how well a FWD grips the road in this car. I do very much agree with the minimal complaints like not having an arm rest in the backseat, memory seats, power passenger seat, etc., but I have no desire to compare it to the TLX when I'm looking to buy until they offer a manual transmission. Great video, y'all - thanks much.

This Integra is amazing. So much better looking than the standard Integra, but I wish they would've worked on the interior a bit more. I don't expect the exact seats from the Type R, but a sportier seat like the seats from the Elantra N would've been an immense improvement IMO.
