I just bought the car last week and I'm in love with it. It's a beautiful blend of style, performance, amenities/tech and fuel efficiency. And yes, the different drive modes do change the dampeners. Additionally it has limited slip differential, which is great for pulling you in and out of those corners. It also pipes in a little exhaust sound with sport mode, which I actually like. Today I hit 44mpg on a fifty mile highway drive, which is awesome. Overall, I feel I made a great choice in getting the car. Great review guys!
This and the Si benefited from the last gen type r. Honda learned how to build a great fr and used that knowledge on the current gen car. Enjoy these while you can. Electrification is coming.
Unfortunately. Zero infrastructure, ZERO reliability, HORRIBLE resale value, and the government is pushing them on people too soon, and all the car companies ( Except for Toyota and Mazda mostly) aren't taking that route yet. It needs another fifteen to twenty years before its mainstay..
I have the 2023 Civic HB Touring and I am trying to get a deal (trading-in the Civic) on the Acura Integra. This review helps me a lot to make a decision. Thanks a lot.
I agree with you! Even tho it's 4D, it's like the extra doors aren't there! Total sweet spot. The more I drive it, the more I like it as you really learn the driving dynamics amd the shifting. The other thing is, the fuel economy is fantastic. Hard to beat!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed if only Si's were actually sold at MSRP. In my area, Si's are marked up over the cost of their Integra equivalents, and I was able to get a manual Integra for 33k (granted it was used with 2k miles.) They can be great deals if you know where to look!
The Acura fixes a huge issue with the Civics. Road and wind noise reduction. Those cars are horrible on the freeway with noisy cabins. The stereo is also A+. Is there more feedback from the controls vs the Supra?
I will say this does have a good amount of wind and road noise. I can’t imagine the Civic is any worse. Hopefully I can drive an Si and see. But the Supra is a big step up in interior refinements. Significantly nicer. This doesn’t really feel like a premium car. Just a nicer then normal economy car with really good handling
I had a 1998 Integra LS manual and it was a great fun car. This version is definitely not worth the price. Should have had at least 250 HP for that price. These car manufacturers much like other companies are stingy, greedy entities. They have the nerve to make this car $38K but with all the other taxes and fees probably rounds it up about another $5K. I'd rather buy another BMW E39 M5 which is far superior to this overpriced "entry" level and pay $20-30K for a monstrous V8 with a 6 speed.
What do you mean? This was the first time we took the Integra to the mountains. Yesterday’s video was a mountain trip in the SL63. Fun cars we take on this trip
the crazy prices on cars these days this is a good deal..............but .i dont know why he said this is a good 1st car... mabie he is smoking some shit... go find a different review.
Price point, yeah this is a bit much for a 16 year old. But the platform has everything a good first car would need. Reliable, comfortable, safe, good tech, easy to drive and practical. A Honda civic with the manual is basically this exact car. So a good used newish Civic would be more doable as a first car. But we are more talking about the platform makes a good first car
They didn't say anything wrong. This is just a nicer Civic which was first car for many of us. It sure doesn't seem like it nowadays due to the extravagant car prices but I agree with the review. I test drove this exact car yesterday and thought it was fun but underpowered. The manual gearbox was 10 out of 10.
