2024 Acura Integra Type S | MotorWeek Road Test 

I find it fascinating MotorWeek can make even the newest of episodes feel like they got made in the 1990's. Audio is buzzy like if done on a boom mic, video looks like 720p, cast is the same John D, same old school country club suits. I love it.

I own a 2020 Civic Si - quick, fun, reliable and averages over 32mpg in mostly urban driving. I went to look at the Integra - don't see myself "trading up."

Thank you Acura for bringing back the color blue.

Cool car, glad it exists, but that's a disappointing 0-60.

Cool and all, but 90s Hondas are where it's at.

$52k for a 5.5s 0-60 they're nuts

I've been* a huge Honda fan for years, porud owner of a 2006 S2000. $52k is INSANE

My other weekend exotic ride is the Aventador 50th Anniversario doing sub 10s @145mph shooting big orange blue flames in glaring reflective metallic Giallo Maggio.

John D is the goat

Actually we wanted a Type R not a S. But good enough.

this car is just as fast or slow for that matter as the srt 4 neon, Evo, Sti, 350/370z, any muscle car from the early 2000s. Let that sink in. How anyone can praise this car is beyond me.

No one is paying $60K for a tarted up Civic with leather, especially with these interest rates from the bank.

Looks like a Hyundai don’t deny it

Type S and Type R = same price.

It meets a honda accord with a light tune on a 2.0t Maybe just running premium and a drop in K&N😂 . And you'll be greatly disappointed.😂

A manual transmission & a touch screen seem like a bad combo. Your right hand will be very busy. Keep the manual, ditch the touch screen for buttons plz.

Few mods this car definitely will make it to 12s

Why doesn't it have GPS though?

13.8 Quarter mile time What a piece of crab

$52,000???!!!!!!!!!!

but......$55,000+.....no, just no....

Bland boring and overpriced. Great job Honda. Stick to asking BMW for inspiration.

It's amazing how many RU-vid car channels are so completely dependent on MotorWeek footage from yesteryear and even to this very day. This is indicative of just how truly on top of their game they are. Maryland is one of the centers of the car enthusiast universe.

It’s so nice still seeing John Davis on motor week without him there is no motor week!

John Davis thank you for your service!!!!!!

For all intents and purposes the same "market" price as the Type R. This car should be mid 40s IMO.

Acura, knock off $10k and you got a home run

The car is cool, but yeah, that's a steep price for a FWD turbo 4-banger. The dealer markups will be what really kill it for the average buyer, though.

I liked the car but not for this price! A few grand more and you can get into a Mustang, Supra and Z. And they're all better performance car

Awesome car, my wife and I love it

Any FWD vehicle is a compromise to save on costs and space. I can totally accept it in the 20-30k range, but cannot at over 50k. Does Acura know that any number of vehicles, that are not FWD, are more compelling at that price point- BMW 3 series, Audi S3, Acura TLX, etc?

This car is for guys in their 40s like me that was thinking m340i...in the 60s...or a lexus is500 f sport in the 60s but said damn..this thing is lighter...still quick..a stick...flat in the corners...a hatch back..no sunroof because I don't care...and looks better than the others i mentioned...for 51k? I save 10 to 15k? Cool..i will take it...so I bought it.

Nice. I love the interior and exterior, but pricy.

That's a pretty fast car people don't realize how fast 13.8@104mph actually is until u take your own car there & race it

$52k is crazy... $15K over A spec is definitely not worth it

I thought pricing for the Type-S in Canada was bad but that's awful in the States. Still, I like the car, definitely over the Civic.

Very nice car but seriously overpriced as most cars are.

To say the front isnt aggressive was absurd to me. Really!? LOL

Much better sound, Thank you.. Now if only Direct injection didn't sound like a cement/trash diesel truck.

Just picked one of these up for 48k brand new. I'm in love with this car.

It’s a great looking car, not boy racer looks, ( sophisticated ), but is that the best they could do with the steering wheel , generic , no flat bottom or bolstered grips, no red accents, $51K, come on Acura

All it's missing is Acura's SHAWD set up. This car would be fantastic with AWD and a sub 5 second 0-60. For $36k a mazda 3 turbo will give you 90% of the performance and luxury 'feel'

Unfortunately for this 52k powerful wrong wheel drive car, with absent DCT transmission that will not put the power down. Faster Golf R is available for about 7k less.

Perhaps I'm spoiled, but I continue to be deflated when car after car is hyped, and then the actual numbers come out. I gauge a sedan based on my ownership in the early to mid 2000's of a WRX, STi, and LGT. Every one of those vehicles were faster than this. For more 'hyper' sedans, I bounce it against a previous owned Audi S8 4.0 TT which I bought used, and to date, not a single vehicle at that same used car price point comes near to its performance. I really want to like this vehicle. It's good looking, seems to tick most of the right boxes (maybe not the fwd aspect though), and comes with a manual trans. However, these numbers seem slow to me. Perhaps it is the driver? Track and weather conditions? I don't know but when a 20 year old stock Subaru can lay down a 12.9 sec. 1/4 mile, and this one is near an entire second behind....it makes me shake my head. Definitely a used car prospect given the MSRP. I predict it'll drop fairly quickly too due to the manual. Picked up a Caddy ATS-V for a great price for that same reason, before they started to become more popular with those considering collecting.

Car is an instant collector car. Has all the ingredients - underrated performance, price is too high, comparing it to shitty cars that are faster on a drag strip (they all lose to EVs anyway) or have more HP but weigh more, special to drive, 6-speed, etc. Too unique and too expensive, just like any other collector car. People are going to be dying for these cars when they are gone. Everyone wants one but at a lower price.

Interesting that youre experiencing wheel hop on launch in higher performance fwd vehicles from Japan.. toyota had it too.. youd think they wouldve engineered that out. but then again they probably figured we consumers wouldnt be doing quarter mile runs... silly manufactures. Nice to see some companies still making sedans.

I wish they lowered the price by 8k, and added a moonroof, memory seats, and a rotary knob for infotainment. My 6-cylinder BMW had those features 10 years ago at a similar price.

Another great review as always. I absolutely love this car. Out of the many new cars being produced, this is one I am most excited for. I hope to add one to the stable soon in this spec and with the copper, metallic rims. Perfection. Well done Acura. Well done.

We’re so used to being letdown that a FWD Honda is nearly $60k and we’re praising it like it’s the greatest thing ever. I reject this abuse.

Needs 2 doors for me to like completely

Just throw in the towel already Motorweek. The entire viewing experience felt like a lengthy, paid-for-by-Honda, commercial. Your formula worked when it's all we consumers had in the days of broadcast television. You basically gave me what I could've already read in the vehicle brochure and not much else.

$52K? A brand new BMW M2 is quite well equipped at $63K and it blows doors off this car.

$55,000 for a tarted-up Civic. That makes sense 🙄

What? You gotta be kidding me. A Lexus RX500h stops shorter than an Integra TypeS sy 100 feet.

13.8?? lol

A rear wheel drive biased awd option would be awesome.

I think we're at the limit of if fwd performance. that much torque on a prepped surface and it still couldn't find traction in 1st gear.

I don't know who to check in with everyday, now that the 12 days of Christmas live stream feed is no more.

Took delivery of mine two weeks ago. At 69, I'm way too old for a CTR. This car fits the bill, a true gentleman's sport sedan. It is just a blast to drive! And I'm no stranger to sports cars. Worth the sticker, and no BS "Market Adjustment" added on.

I feel like if Acura released the Type S alongside the normal versions of the new Integra it wouldn’t have gotten the amount of hate it initially received.

I own a 2024 Integra Type S in platinum white pearl and I love it

All the work to the car so it can run base model . Mustang ecoboost numbers smh

Pricing is too much.

i hate the headlamps and the taillights. well the modern hondas are ugly altogether.

Great looking car, reliable and great handling but man that thing is slow.....😂 it's not any faster than a BRZ for 20k less a car people call slow smh but hey it's an Integra so cue the hype and multiple passes

Awesome car and a good price!

Price too high

Nice a 50k FWD civic

51k 😂 these car prices are insane ! you can buy a new bmw 330i that’s safer and faster wake up people .

First Type S without a sunroof. Im sad

Where’s the two door? Where’s the double round headlights? Where’s the affordability? At this price I’m getting a cpo BMW 340i

I've driven both the Civic Type R and this and my question is what is so great with these two cars!! My EK9 Civic Type R is still far more exciting to drive.

Will sell like hotcakes, BEST in class

Kona N beats it in all performance numbers..and 20 grand less

Love the show, John is great !!!

Love the car, looks cool, but they want way too much money, and the performance is not that great in this era, I owned a 2002 wrx that had better numbers than this. Wouldn’t be an issue if the type S wasn’t 60k. Gonna be a legend regardless because of the tuner world.

Prelude for the win

$55k before Stealers get their markups?😂 I’ll stake my 2023 M340Ix (stage 1)against it any day!

I’d prefer if it had a wing 🪽!

Very nice but over priced.

That engine literally sounded like a sewing machine lol my ford escape 2.5 with 365k is quieter than that lol

Type S Positive

How come I never see any of the new Integras on the road? I live in California so I would think they would be all over the place?

If Acura is as smart as I think they are, they are gonna make a last model year limited production Integra. They aren’t going to let that crap 2 door EV prelude 1up them, they are gonna bring back the Integra everyone fell in love with… the 3 door hatch Integra Type R DE Chassis.

5.5 secs is fairly slow to 60 for a sporty car in this day and age.

It may even be the car that would help Acura expand to global markets such as Japan, Australia, and so on.

Type S-L-O-W LMFAO SMH

Great looking car inside and out. However, the 60 time and 1/4 mile times kinda disappointing. Still want it tho.

When these hit the used car market in a few years. I will be all over this one.

Beautiful car, love it!! Happy there’s a manual!! ……but not all of us want 4 doors!! GIVE US A 2-DOOR!!

yay John!!

Honda needs to add a dual-clutch tranny if they want to even think of keeping up with people with that kind of money to spend that will stay with BMW or Audi. $48,000 gets me a VW Golf R that SMOKES this thing all day long.

As a 2002 RSX Type s owner, I can only imagine how great this car drives. turboed K20!....I'm grinning all the way to 6th gear. 😁😁😁

John davis is a legend the best reviewer of all times 😮😮

Why bother? 52k lol Get a Genesis g70 for less ,,0-60 4.5 1/4 mile 12.7 :)

I don’t get this car. For the money, the Model 3 LR is faster in all regards and handles better. So is the Golf R. And many others. To each his own, I guess.

Mid life crisis ride for old folks who just got divorced 😂😂 Bumpy ride, dated design, ancient engine, road noise, poor fuel economy, premium fuel, overpriced, tiny storage, limited service network. 😢 My grandmas Ionic5 destroys this old slug, and she’s 1/2 blind! 😂

Nice car but too expensive by at least 5k
