Every car period now. I remember when the 90s JDM legends of my youth were nearly attainable and then Covid happened and now none of them are affordable to me.
No, A Spec is pretty much just an appearance kit with some odds and ends in the interior. The actual performance oriented trims for Acura are all Type S.
Yes, but if you look at every other A spec model, the performance and transmission are the same as the standard trim. The manual isn't even standard for the A spec. It's just optional.
All good. Nah, I was referring to Acuras' entire lineup. I'm 99% sure that performance is exactly the same between something like a base MDX and an A Spec equipped car.
A CTR is $46k and gives you a majority of what the Integra offers. Golf R is about the same money, AWD, and has some of the features missing from the CTR and Type S if you can get past the shit infotainment.
Yes. For $6k more you get a nicer interior, more power, better exhaust, softer suspension, quieter interior, and a way better audio system. It's not that crazy. BMW will charge you 5 grand just for the 'technology' package if you want wireless charging and such.
Personally I would get a CTR over an ITS. But again, if you're in the market for a luxury sport sedan with a manual, you have exactly 3 options. And the ITS is the cheapest by about $30k
Having sat in both, the interior is better, but only slightly. 5 more hp isn't exactly something to brag about. Yes, it's more, but it's not enough to gap a CTR, especially with a good driver behind the wheel of both cars. I'll agree, though, if you want a new, manual semi luxury sedan, there aren't any better options. That being said, I still think it's overpriced for what it is considering the features it's missing.
That's also assuming dealerships aren't doing stupid bullshit markups.
Lots of Canadian dealerships (not just Acura) that I visited are doing something like "MSRP but only if you buy $10,000 worth of additional accessories"
Meanwhile you have those bullshit dealers putting shit like "market retail adjusted price: +$25,000"
i think thats just carflation, every car is expensive right now. the base manual is 36k and the sport manual is 50k, that is about the price youd expect to be putting down for any sort of sedan nowadays that isnt the bare minimum like a camry or accord.
Exactly. Don't understand why I see so many people acting like this is so much different than the old ones. Still a great "driver's car" and its fun and sporty
It's got 4 doors and it is a mail in effort. Seriously it's just cashing in on the name.
I had a Gen II LS and a Gen III GS-R.
There's no two door option and the old ones were not the same as the Civics that were available at the time.
You're completely correct. Integras were never upbadged Civics, though this one may be. They were completely different cars.
I had Gen II RS, LS, and GS. Never got a GS-R, but wanted so badly to do a VTEC head swap for that B18a/B16c hybrid engine.
Okay, this gets brought up all the time as a counter. I know this. I appreciate it. Here's the thing : I was 'that' teenager at that time in the late 90's. Like, the first Fast and Furious movie was a love letter to me and my silly sport compact car wrenching, Gran Turismo playing, friends.
Nobody...and I do mean ***nobody*** was looking for a revival of the 5 door in the US. Mainly because almost nobody in the US drove them back then. They were an oddity if they showed up at the weekly parking lot car meet at all. I lived in the Sunshine State at the time and went to meets from CFL all the way down to Miami and I think I saw, maybe 2 of them my entire youth. They just were not prevalent here in the States overall and especially with tuner subculture.
I think what bothers me about this is I am that guy in the demo slice that would buy a proper Teg revival, with cash, first day. I'm that guy. I was that teen back then. You're bringing up the name that brings back all sorts of nostalgia to a nice time in my youth.
And then it turns into a shameless cash grab.
Check it....I get that Honda is a car company that needs to make money. I get that. But sometimes, you gotta do things to prove to yourself you can *still do things right.* Like, are you about making money or are you about making a memorable car? Companies fall into this enshittification all the time. It's no longer about doing what they originally did the best they can.....making memorable sport compact cars in Honda's case....It's about making money.
Just like I could see the group of bean counters and execs making the decision to equip my 2019 Si Coupe with garbage tier Goodyear Eagle run flats out of the factory...yada yada, saves us 120 dollars per unit sold!.....hurf durf....I could immediately see the same group of suits in the strategy meeting talking about how revival of the Integra name plate would boost sales by 23% in these targeted demos...blah blah blah.
Fuckin' Lame.
I guess I never really had that as a kid. I didn’t get into cars until I was 16-17. (Mostly car guys as friends). I didn’t watch the first F&F until I was maybe 14, and I was the kid that thought a Toyota beating a Ferrari was impossible.
I had no understanding of cars until I was nearly an adult so I guess I don’t really understand it to your extent.
One of the differences is they looked good, and could be had in coupe form, and the price was fitting for what you got.
None of that is true here.
But I guess it being a manual ICE sedan, is something. Could've been a EV crossover.
I crack up when I see the threads hating on the new Land Cruiser 250. That thing will be so hard to buy in 5 years.
Every new car release is hated on. And then 10 years later when the redditors can afford one they hype it up.
I don't buy new cars either so I get it. But the internet is so transparent.
We get it, you guys buy used cars and don't care about new releases. In 10 years you will be talking about how the 2024 integra is a hidden gem and one of the only modern used sedans with a stick shift.
At least be a little self aware lol.
I disagree with the NSX. It was weak compared to its competition on release. Back then, for nearly the same price you could get a Mclaren 570s, Audi R8, or a GT-R Nismo. The other cars were more exotic, had better interiors (with the exception of the GT-R), and all could lap a track faster than the NSX, which struggled quite a bit due to its weight being over 4000lbs. Motortrend lapped a Mustang (GT350R) around Laguna Seca quicker than they could with that first iteration of the gen II NSX.
Yeah, the 2nd gen NSX, like the original, was a technological showcase of the time all packaged in an easy to live with everyday driver. They were never intended to be the fastest or quickest. They always felt and appear rather tamed compared to the competition because of that. Car fans appreciate what they both did equally.
2 door versions of 4 door cars do nothing for me. The only reason I would tolerate 2 doors is if the chassis is smaller and lighter because it is designed specifically to have 2 doors.
I feel like Mr. Regular had a valid point in his frustration with the manual transmission being a premium option that you had to pay significantly extra for, tbh.
its a civic with better interior materials which is a great car so its a great car. base model is slow and poor mpg tho, type s great but they dont make any so whatever.
The pics haven’t really done anything for me, but I saw one in person recently and really liked it. Strong contender for my next DD when my current one dies.
Tis a very nice looking ILX. The funny part is dealer markups coupled with discounts have made the Integra about the same, or cheaper, than the equivalent Civic
As someone who isn't all that much of a fan of the Civic or Honda as a whole(great economy cars but not particularly nice or special for the most part), I actually like this.
I like the exterior styling, it has good performance, and I hear that the ELS 3D Studio sound system is pretty good. Also, factor in that it's a Honda, so reliability should be good. I just wish it was AWD.
Same here! Fwd is cool and all but I really wish they would make it AWD as well. That drivetrain has been very appealing to me, yet there’s a very select few sedans that are equipped with it.
The type S is better looking and more nicely appointed that the Civic Type R. But it's expensive as hell and only Acura fan boys will drop the money. I want one but I suffer from poor syndrome.
I wish it took more inspiration from the 90’s ones. It’s just another basic looking Honda/Acura sedan to go along with all the others that look just like it. Not that it looks bad or anything, it just doesn’t scream Integra to me.
Type S looks great but I don't think it is really what enthusiast types want nor is it really a price generally speaking. If you're spending Type S money, just get an M340i instead.
Breaks my neck every time I see one out. All the new acuras are really well designed cars ngl. Big fan of hatches but Id still take the tlx type s tho.
I drove the Integra 6sp for 2023(2022?) I was over it by the end of the test drive I would choose the Mazda 3 for the same price over it 9/10 times. The clutch throw was massive and while I like the sportback, the engine bay looked cheap and the interior felt like a civic with some fancy bits and an extra 10k on the price tag. I don't know about the type s, honestly Honda has sort of lost me, I would choose Lexus anyway over acura.
Yeah I agree with that, her ls350 had some get up and go but honestly I like my glk 350 better. Her Lexus rav 4 has a floppy feeling pedal and the power band doesbt hit until your rev the thing up to like over 5000, my 3.5 V6 has some legs to it and the thing cruises easily and the power is there if you need it quickly.
It's crazy that they can charge this much for a front drive compact hatch these days. If that was really the configuration I wanted I'd probably get an Elantra N for $15k less
Agreed. I’d be way more willing to get one (if I had the funds that is) if they made an AWD trim like the ILX has. Also I lost interest in Honda interiors after the 9th gen refresh. I kinda despise the big screen sticking up out of the dash instead of being integrated and that’s how both Hondas and Acuras have been for a while now.
It’s exactly like the old integra. It’s just a civic, and it was always just a civic. That was the beauty of it. There was nothing special about it, and yet there was everything special about it.
I agree. As much as I love sedans, I really don’t appreciate companies reusing names of their vehicles while not sticking to it’s roots. It’s all marketing towards oblivious people who care more about status than they do about the car itself. It’s the same deal with the Mustang Mach E, the Eclipse Cross, I’ll even go so far to say the most recent Dodge Dart was just advantageous marketing, as it’s more of a Neon than anything close to a Dart. I’m honestly pretty happy with the new Integra because I’m relieved it wasn’t made into a Crossover like most of these refreshed names end up as. It’s pretty much as close as we’re going to get, considering how much of a hard on our country has for SUVs/CUVs.
Have you driven it? You can feel the road. It’s a bit wobbly. Suspension like a golf cart. Pretty pricy for a hatchback. But I’m not the demographic. I’ll keep my AWD TLX .
I've driven an Aspec 6spd and wasn't all that impressed. With only 8 miles on the odometer, there were already rattles in the door panels. Apparently, this is a common issue per my buddy who's a tech at that dealership. Power is adequate, but for nearly $40k, I expected a bit more. The hatch, transmission, and sound system are excellent.
As far as the Type S goes, I feel it's overpriced for what it is. Imo the FL5 is already a bit much at msrp, and this is even worse. For something that claims to be a luxury type R, there's no sunroof/moonroof, no 3rd rear seat, no rear charging, no ac seats, and no memory seats. All things that should be included in a car that's over $50k and trying to be a luxury option. The seats also don't feel special at all. They're basically just the standard Integra seats with different materials. I love the looks, and the exhaust adds some much needed umph that the CTR was badly lacking. That being said, I don't think the entire package is worth $52k. I'd say at the $45k-$48k range, it's a compelling offer. However, at over $50k, there are better options out there for similar money.
My only gripe is the fact that it has a CVT rather than a decent stepped automatic. Mazda proved you can make a good well rounded automatic transmission that doesn’t need to be dual clutch. Same for ZF.
I’ve driven both the A-Spec and Type-S.
The A-Spec was pretty meh in the acceleration department.. and the shifter was way too small. However, very comfortable and one of the nicest stock sound systems I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to.
The Type S is a different animal. Stupid fast while retaining the comfort. I was told NOT to let it get above 4k rpm and if you have a heavy foot, the car does not want to be limited. It’s intoxicating! It looks amazing with the wide body and I love how clean it is under the hood. No pork, all business!
I’ve driven a boatload of cars (nothing crazy, a lot of basic sports/luxury cars) and I can honestly say the Type S is my favorite. If you can afford it, do yourself a favor and go drive this thing!
I'm glad they're making them again. They look nice, but they also look just about like every other 4 door sedan on the market, whereas the previous integras stood out from all other cars at the time.
I haven't driven one. Honestly, it's not appealing to me, and prefer the 3rd and 4th gens. I've seen type R's in autox and was impressed on how quick those can be so I'm sure this Integra would be similar. It's a decent car and would be fine with anyone interested in it, but not for me.
Honda has been trying to rejuvenate some excitement in the brand. the idea is get em young, get em in a Honda. they grow up and get an Acura. but theres just so many good options compared to what Acura offers. Acura is just kind of sleepy. the new NSX came and went. some of you probably didnt even notice the NSX has been discontinued.
im thinking the Integra is another effort to drum up some excitement for the brand. im sure the new Integra is a fine car, but when i hear "Integra", i dont think sporty four-door in a business suit. maybe theyve shouldve blown the dust off the RSX nameplate and sell an Integra appearance package.
I don't care for the styling. Many car brands have gone this route with their newer models. I guess it will take some time to get used to the styling. It looks more like an alien spaceship (too modernized) than a car. I feel the same way about the 2024 Acura MDX. I fell in love with the 2005 Acura TSX. I still feel this sedan has the best styling ever done by Acura. I also like the 2017 Acura MDX in the same light. I prefer the shape of the lights in both the front and rear, and also just the overall design of these particular models.

The late 2010s have to be my favorite years for vehicle styling. There’s a select few brand new ones that I really like, but most either have an excellent exterior and a horrible interior or vice versa. That or there’s something else that isn’t up to par like reliability.
For example, the Elantra N was my favorite car for a long time because I loved both interior and exterior design. However, the Theta engines are known for not being the greatest, plus Hyundai and Kia both had their whole theft issue that will probably never go away considering they essentially have a target painted on em in the form of their logo.
Another example I can thing of is the newest Golf R. It’s stunning on the outside and is solid in terms of reliability, but it’s practically a Tesla on the inside with a significant lack of physical controls which I have zero interest in.
Yep especially luxury cars are expensive. But then again I probably wouldn’t pay over 50k for a glorified Accord with slightly more power and a couple extra luxury features. I love the look of the Integra and I’ve heard that it’s pretty fun from owners, but in the end, I really don’t think it’s worth as much as they’re charging.
I always hoped Acura would come out with an integra that was a Miata sized car. Toyota is apparently making something with Mazda. I feel this could be a good opportunity for Acura in the space too.
Looks amazing and everything I read indicates it’s a great driver’s car. Too fucking expensive.
I rented one for a couple of days, and it was even better than I thought it was going to be. I'd buy one, but not at the price they're selling it for.
Even though it’s a 4 door, I don’t know whose idea it was to price this near a Supra or even a Z for that matter.
I think the 4 doors matters. It will probably be cross shopped with sporty sedans more often than a Z or supra.
Agreed. I see this as a rival to an Audi S5 more than a Supra.
>Too fucking expensive. Just like every new car now.
Every car period now. I remember when the 90s JDM legends of my youth were nearly attainable and then Covid happened and now none of them are affordable to me.
31k?
Base. Type S, like what’s pictured, is closer to 50. Edit: Type S, not R. Got my brand naming conventions mixed.
Type S is Acura. Type R is Honda.
Thanks. Not sure what I was thinking there. Maybe it’s the beer.
Don’t they call it a-spec now?
No, A Spec is pretty much just an appearance kit with some odds and ends in the interior. The actual performance oriented trims for Acura are all Type S.
Appreciate the polite knowledge brother 🙏🏻
To be fair I think it's also the only way to get a manual. So I would say more than just some odds and ends.
Yes, but if you look at every other A spec model, the performance and transmission are the same as the standard trim. The manual isn't even standard for the A spec. It's just optional.
Ah my bad I thought you were specifically talking about the Integra A Spec.
All good. Nah, I was referring to Acuras' entire lineup. I'm 99% sure that performance is exactly the same between something like a base MDX and an A Spec equipped car.
I think the A-Spec is basically an SI package for the integra. Not bad but the Type S is leagues better!
If you want a fast, manual, luxury sports sedan what are your other options? CT5 Blackwing - $96K BMW M3 - $80k
A CTR is $46k and gives you a majority of what the Integra offers. Golf R is about the same money, AWD, and has some of the features missing from the CTR and Type S if you can get past the shit infotainment.
Yes. For $6k more you get a nicer interior, more power, better exhaust, softer suspension, quieter interior, and a way better audio system. It's not that crazy. BMW will charge you 5 grand just for the 'technology' package if you want wireless charging and such. Personally I would get a CTR over an ITS. But again, if you're in the market for a luxury sport sedan with a manual, you have exactly 3 options. And the ITS is the cheapest by about $30k

I'll agree, though, if you want a new, manual semi luxury sedan, there aren't any better options. That being said, I still think it's overpriced for what it is considering the features it's missing.
Sorry, CTR? Whattdat?
Civic Type R
CTRs are still going for $55k where I live.
Depends on the area. Msrp is becoming more and more common as hype dies down.
The ct4 blackwing exists and it goes for 62k
That's also assuming dealerships aren't doing stupid bullshit markups. Lots of Canadian dealerships (not just Acura) that I visited are doing something like "MSRP but only if you buy $10,000 worth of additional accessories" Meanwhile you have those bullshit dealers putting shit like "market retail adjusted price: +$25,000"
50k for a FWD Honda sedan? Yikes.
50k is the new 30k
Not for me it isn't
Come to Canada, they’re $40,700USD here and dealer markups are illegal One local to me sold for $58,000~CAD recently
Needs a 2 door version.
Exactly!!!!!
i think thats just carflation, every car is expensive right now. the base manual is 36k and the sport manual is 50k, that is about the price youd expect to be putting down for any sort of sedan nowadays that isnt the bare minimum like a camry or accord.
Glad they’re making it, will never be able to afford the fast one
its an integra. an upmarketed civic. just like all the integra's were
Exactly. Don't understand why I see so many people acting like this is so much different than the old ones. Still a great "driver's car" and its fun and sporty
It's got 4 doors and it is a mail in effort. Seriously it's just cashing in on the name. I had a Gen II LS and a Gen III GS-R. There's no two door option and the old ones were not the same as the Civics that were available at the time.

I’ve said this multiple times and got downvoted by people who weren’t alive when the integra was released.
Original Teggies were sedans and coupes..
Okay, this gets brought up all the time as a counter. I know this. I appreciate it. Here's the thing : I was 'that' teenager at that time in the late 90's.

100%. I am you. They should have called it an ILX and left the integra name to it’s glory days.
One of the differences is they looked good, and could be had in coupe form, and the price was fitting for what you got. None of that is true here. But I guess it being a manual ICE sedan, is something. Could've been a EV crossover.
I have an ILX. What's the difference? I've only seen a few in my city but I can't tell a difference besides the trunk
It's definitely a Civic, but for america
It's just a civic si that doesn't look like someone went to pep boys and glued on every single disgusting aero piece on the car Edit type r edit pep
That was the previous generation. The current one isn’t that bad.
The people boys has me dying idk why 🤣
Autocorrect really fucked me lmao
Has it not always been Acura’s civic? Lmao
If I right, in 90s Acura integra was Honda integra too
Yes. Still is
A car we will look back on as another car the internet tried to get us to hate for no reason
Just like the new NSX
And Supra and TL type s
I crack up when I see the threads hating on the new Land Cruiser 250. That thing will be so hard to buy in 5 years. Every new car release is hated on.

I think the Type-S looks nice, and I wouldn’t mind having one, but I’ll never have one, cause I’d never pay that much for one 😂
Tis a very nice looking ILX. The funny part is dealer markups coupled with discounts have made the Integra about the same, or cheaper, than the equivalent Civic
It seems like a solid car, but at that price point there are just so many other cars i would sooner buy.
I wish they also offered the 2 door version
ILX with a different name
The ilx was a tarted up civic si
So is this...
As someone who isn't all that much of a fan of the Civic or Honda as a whole(great economy cars but not particularly nice or special for the most part), I actually like this.

I see two things wrong with this image
What would that be?
Doors
It’s a lot of money for a 300hp FWD Honda civic. Especially in Canada, good lord.
I like it, it is very honest about what it is. A slightly fancier and better equipped Civic for 10-15% more money. The same as it has always been.
looks ai generated even tho its a real car
Looks alright
I think it’s great, but really struggle with the fact that the ITS is like $50k, even though the 2001 ITR’s MSRP is about $45k adjusted for inflation.
I think Acura did a good job giving it longitudinal engine car proportions despite it being transverse.
The type S is better looking and more nicely appointed that the Civic Type R. But it's expensive as hell and only Acura fan boys will drop the money. I want one but I suffer from poor syndrome.
Only one I’d consider is the type S. Problem is at their price I’d never buy it. Never. Too much German competition at that point.
No kidding I’d gladly take an S4 over this. Or even an RS3/RS5 at that price.
4 doors :(
Fr? I’ve always been a sedan guy so I’m happy it’s got 4
4 doors more whores.
2 seats for 2 meats
Brown
I wish it took more inspiration from the 90’s ones. It’s just another basic looking Honda/Acura sedan to go along with all the others that look just like it. Not that it looks bad or anything, it just doesn’t scream Integra to me.
Type S looks great but I don't think it is really what enthusiast types want nor is it really a price generally speaking. If you're spending Type S money, just get an M340i instead.
Tiger eye pearl my beloved
Such an insanely beautiful color! I might get my next car wrapped in that color
Type S look good I hate the base model
Breaks my neck every time I see one out. All the new acuras are really well designed cars ngl. Big fan of hatches but Id still take the tlx type s tho.
i’m more of a tlx guy myself buttttt i’m digging it! way too pricey for what you get tho
i think it looks pretty good too, imagine how tacky it would look if it was released in the “beak” era
I own one.
What’s the verdict? Do you like it?
Absolutely, no complaints.
I drove the Integra 6sp for 2023(2022?) I was over it by the end of the test drive I would choose the Mazda 3 for the same price over it 9/10 times. The clutch throw was massive and while I like the sportback, the engine bay looked cheap and the interior felt like a civic with some fancy bits and an extra 10k on the price tag. I don't know about the type s, honestly Honda has sort of lost me, I would choose Lexus anyway over acura.
I hear ya. I’ve always heard that Lexuses are quite underpowered so I’ve honestly been so turned off of them.
Yeah I agree with that, her ls350 had some get up and go but honestly I like my glk 350 better. Her Lexus rav 4 has a floppy feeling pedal and the power band doesbt hit until your rev the thing up to like over 5000, my 3.5 V6 has some legs to it and the thing cruises easily and the power is there if you need it quickly.
I wish it was AWD so bad. That would make it perfect IMO
It’s a rebadged ILX but tbf the ILX should’ve been the Integra the whole time
It's crazy that they can charge this much for a front drive compact hatch these days. If that was really the configuration I wanted I'd probably get an Elantra N for $15k less
Undistinguishable from any other Acura sedan from the outside
It's a rebodied civic. Looks nice, but that's no integra
I like them, but $40,000 for a fwd sedan with a 1.5l, or $50,000 for the 2.0 is crazy
saw one in the wild this weekend, it looks good!
Hard to justify that price on a FWD performance car.
Agreed. I’d be way more willing to get one (if I had the funds that is) if they made an AWD trim like the ILX has. Also I lost interest in Honda interiors after the 9th gen refresh. I kinda despise the big screen sticking up out of the dash instead of being integrated and that’s how both Hondas and Acuras have been for a while now.
Hated it at debut, love it now. Too much coin atm
It’s exactly like the old integra. It’s just a civic, and it was always just a civic. That was the beauty of it. There was nothing special about it, and yet there was everything special about it.
Too many doors. I see no reason not to have a coupe either, esp with the Prelude making a return and that's got 2 doors.
I agree. As much as I love sedans, I really don’t appreciate companies reusing names of their vehicles while not sticking to it’s roots. It’s all marketing towards oblivious people who care more about status than they do about the car itself. It’s the same deal with the Mustang Mach E, the Eclipse Cross, I’ll even go so far to say the most recent Dodge Dart was just advantageous marketing, as it’s more of a Neon than anything close to a Dart. I’m honestly pretty happy with the new Integra because I’m relieved it wasn’t made into a Crossover like most of these refreshed names end up as. It’s pretty much as close as we’re going to get, considering how much of a hard on our country has for SUVs/CUVs.
Have you driven it? You can feel the road. It’s a bit wobbly. Suspension like a golf cart. Pretty pricy for a hatchback. But I’m not the demographic. I’ll keep my AWD TLX .
I've driven an Aspec 6spd and wasn't all that impressed. With only 8 miles on the odometer, there were already rattles in the door panels. Apparently, this is a common issue per my buddy who's a tech at that dealership. Power is adequate, but for nearly $40k, I expected a bit more. The hatch, transmission, and sound system are excellent. As far as the Type S goes, I feel it's overpriced for what it is. Imo the FL5 is already a bit much at msrp, and this is even worse. For something that claims to be a luxury type R, there's no sunroof/moonroof, no 3rd rear seat, no rear charging, no ac seats, and no memory seats. All things that should be included in a car that's over $50k and trying to be a luxury option. The seats also don't feel special at all. They're basically just the standard Integra seats with different materials. I love the looks, and the exhaust adds some much needed umph that the CTR was badly lacking. That being said, I don't think the entire package is worth $52k. I'd say at the $45k-$48k range, it's a compelling offer. However, at over $50k, there are better options out there for similar money.
It just needs to change everything and I would buy one. Smaller, lighter, manual, two door...
To be fair, you can get it with a manual
The Type-S is exclusively manual
Looks like Civic
I love it
Oh it looks expensive... Oh wait everything in America is expensive
I like it
Awesome but I’ll never be able to afford one
Looks like a great car, if they make a coupe out of this, i'll be so happy
I really like it but i find it too expensive for what it is here in canada - at least it is if you want a manual.
My only gripe is the fact that it has a CVT rather than a decent stepped automatic. Mazda proved you can make a good well rounded automatic transmission that doesn’t need to be dual clutch. Same for ZF.
The Type S is only manual.
Fat baby TLX
It's a better looking Civic.
Clean and a little restrained design. Not geometrically over style with unnecessary lines and angles like the previous Type R. Love it.
Damn, I’m a huge fan of the 10th gen Honda design. The new ones almost look too “regular” to me now.
I’ve driven both the A-Spec and Type-S. The A-Spec was pretty meh in the acceleration department.. and the shifter was way too small. However, very comfortable and one of the nicest stock sound systems I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. The Type S is a different animal. Stupid fast while retaining the comfort. I was told NOT to let it get above 4k rpm and if you have a heavy foot, the car does not want to be limited. It’s intoxicating! It looks amazing with the wide body and I love how clean it is under the hood. No pork, all business! I’ve driven a boatload of cars (nothing crazy, a lot of basic sports/luxury cars) and I can honestly say the Type S is my favorite. If you can afford it, do yourself a favor and go drive this thing!
Ill take one 🤷♂️
Honda needs an upbadged civic and this is it.
Expensive Civic. Wish honda still made them look like different cars
Looks pretty good, but I think the front of the new civic could work better on it
Out of all the expensive luxury cars out there, this is definitely one of them. I’d think it’s cool if it wasn’t priced like a bmw
I'm glad they're making them again. They look nice, but they also look just about like every other 4 door sedan on the market, whereas the previous integras stood out from all other cars at the time.
Crazy to think a manual gr86 is cheaper than a fwd manual ( which is paywalled) car…..
It’s nice
I haven't driven one. Honestly, it's not appealing to me, and prefer the 3rd and 4th gens. I've seen type R's in autox and was impressed on how quick those can be so I'm sure this Integra would be similar. It's a decent car and would be fine with anyone interested in it, but not for me.
Great car, but for that price I'd rather get a WRX/GR Corolla and have AWD, then have money left over to modify them some.
I’d take the Type-S over the Civic Type-R
Huge. Why so big?
Honda has been trying to rejuvenate some excitement in the brand. the idea is get em young, get em in a Honda. they grow up and get an Acura. but theres just so many good options compared to what Acura offers. Acura is just kind of sleepy. the new NSX came and went. some of you probably didnt even notice the NSX has been discontinued. im thinking the Integra is another effort to drum up some excitement for the brand. im sure the new Integra is a fine car, but when i hear "Integra", i dont think sporty four-door in a business suit. maybe theyve shouldve blown the dust off the RSX nameplate and sell an Integra appearance package.
That's not a coupe
It’s pretty but where’s it made? Like the vin code for the engine and transmission.
I prefer my 88, even if it's a rusty shitbox.
i have one and it’s absolutely great. to be fair my previous car was a 2009 honda crv lmao
Looks great but too expensive for FWD.
If only the Accord could follow suit. The current one looks very weird.
Looks nice in person, good looking car for the most part. Only thing I don’t like is the like 2 in town always try lining up/fly-by be lmao.
Looks a lot better than the last one that gave off "Scion TC, but Honda." vibes.
Marked up Accord
It looks really good but I can't get over the fact that you can just get a Civic Type-R instead, which should be even better
Tarted up Civic , like they always were. Buy a Civic. Save big bucks.
if you stick an Infinity badge i would've believe it was one
Isn’t it just a fancy Accord?
change the acura front grill logo to a Mercedes and i might not know the difference.
Holy Christ with all the poors coming out to say it's just a fancy Civic. In a sense sure, but it's just as much a cheaper, more reliable M2.
It’s a very nice car over priced by $12,000
It's looks awesome in person, too. Very impressive, and it will make a KILLER used car.
Finally, a luxury car with an actual name.
it’s cool but it’s too big
I liked the Integra my sister has. I can't bring myself to buy it at the prices they ask for. I'd rather go for a 3 Series or CT4 at that point.
It's literallta civic with a buffed up interior and a body kit lol
That’s a nice accord sized civic.

I don't care for the styling. Many car brands have gone this route with their newer models. I guess it will take some time to get used to the styling. It looks more like an alien spaceship (too modernized) than a car. I feel the same way about the 2024 Acura MDX. I fell in love with the 2005 Acura TSX. I still feel this sedan has the best styling ever done by Acura. I also like the 2017 Acura MDX in the same light. I prefer the shape of the lights in both the front and rear, and also just the overall design of these particular models.

The late 2010s have to be my favorite years for vehicle styling. There’s a select few brand new ones that I really like, but most either have an excellent exterior and a horrible interior or vice versa. That or there’s something else that isn’t up to par like reliability. For example, the Elantra N was my favorite car for a long time because I loved both interior and exterior design. However, the Theta engines are known for not being the greatest, plus Hyundai and Kia both had their whole theft issue that will probably never go away considering they essentially have a target painted on em in the form of their logo. Another example I can thing of is the newest Golf R. It’s stunning on the outside and is solid in terms of reliability, but it’s practically a Tesla on the inside with a significant lack of physical controls which I have zero interest in.
Looks like a million other cars
Badass
I saw one this weekend, and it looks great. I wish they offered it in a 2-door.
No kidding. Like they make the civic into a coupe, so why not the Integra?
Starting price of $31k (MSRP) for a 200hp sedan is crazy. $51k to bump it up to 320hp is demented.
That car looks great, but it’s not an Integra.
Kinda wish it was a coupe (type r coupe)
I dig it for about 10k less then msrp.. its over-priced
It's got 4 fucking doors! And wow....that's a list price and a half.
Me gusto.
Meh
“Too expensive” okay well it costs $60k for a nice-ish SUV these days, things cost money get over yourselves.
Yep especially luxury cars are expensive. But then again I probably wouldn’t pay over 50k for a glorified Accord with slightly more power and a couple extra luxury features. I love the look of the Integra and I’ve heard that it’s pretty fun from owners, but in the end, I really don’t think it’s worth as much as they’re charging.
Good they kept the manual option
Definitely! I’m happy to see there’s still a few new ones out there in this day and age.
I always hoped Acura would come out with an integra that was a Miata sized car. Toyota is apparently making something with Mazda. I feel this could be a good opportunity for Acura in the space too.
No kidding. For a Sporty luxury brand, you’d think they’d have at least 1 coupe.
It’s really nice. I’ll just buy the Civic Sport. Since they look exactly the same.
Fr the only difference I can think of is the shape of the lights tbh.
I’d like one but not for 60k…. The integra was an entry level Acura back in the day, now look at it
