This is, hands down, the ABSOLUTE best Acura Integra Type S video review on all of RU-vid!! 💪💪💪🫶 Well done Car Care Nut! 👊

@gregj3369 7 месяцев назад

I agree, but on a separate note, any Integra review that avoids showing the rear end is going to seem better.

@summushieremiasclarkson4700 6 месяцев назад

@@gregj3369 I happen to like the rear end, reminds me of the previous gen AMG C series. That said, Acura really didn't differentiate this enough from the Civic. Honda really needs to get their heads out their arses, and make it RWD. Unless mazda beats them to it, by putting their new inline 6 in an RWD manual mazda 6. That would be a legendary car.

@siinxkj 6 месяцев назад

@@summushieremiasclarkson4700 mazda just isnt doing it for many people. anyway I really like the rear of the integra, idk why everyone hates on it

@summushieremiasclarkson4700 6 месяцев назад

@@siinxkj Looks great to me. Honda is all about that FWD packaging efficiency, and it scales well. To a point. I happen to own the third generation of the TL (6 speed manual). For a luxury barge, it handles amazingly well. But you can *feel* that understeer hard, despite it's double wishbone front, multi-link rear and limited slip differential.

@siinxkj 6 месяцев назад

@@summushieremiasclarkson4700 I havent heard anything about understeer for that tl, lots of people like it but I have no idea why. the sound system is great but there are common mechanical issues with it the v6 right? I own the 06 1st gen tsx 6mt and 5at (yes, both) which is like the little sister to the 3rd gen tl, I can say that I dont really feel much to any understeer on that beast. its really luxurious and sporty at the same time.

@jjacob25101 7 месяцев назад

This is a beautiful car. The ultimate I would want being older, if I was still a diehard enthusiast, that the time, money, energy, and good place to keep it. I would spend $60K if I had no complaints if I had the money to buy this with all the factory accessories I wanted, plus tint the windows and add a front strut tower brace. I don't think there would be very much else I would do other than keep it properly maintained, care for the exterior and interior and enjoy it. But in all practical purposes, I don't have time for that, or a good place to keep it. An A-Spec Technology Package, same color and interior would be more practical for me, still have the EKS stereo I would want and be almost as good for what I need at $40K with all the OEM accessories I would want. Or even a Boost Blue Pearl or Sonic Grey Pearl Civic Sport Touring Hatchback which is almost as nice as the A Spec Technology Package. Great technical review that like the others that give insight whether the vehicle in question is worth buying, or not.

Thanks for the review. I had a 92 Integra that did everything. Commuter car, Camping with a canoe on the roof, I once had a full size dryer in the back. Hatch backs are the best. Put 500,000 km on it and it always ran like a fine watch. Original clutch. Great car, but as you said, the price point here is different. At the time, the Integra was "the most car with the most engine for the least money". I loved beating up on 318 BMWs.

@HDHQDIRECT 7 месяцев назад

I had a new black 88 Integra LS to drive when I was 16 in high school. I was the only kid with an Acura at that time. The pop up headlights. The4 valve per cylinder engines were the latest thing for power. GM had their quad 4 engines at the time. It had 118 HP from a 1.6 liter. Remember at that time a 5.0 V8 Mustang GT had 225 HP. Now, my Kia Optima SX with 2.0 Turbo 4 cylinder puts out 245 HP and 265 torque. Getting 100 HP per liter back then was considered a huge accomplishment. I like this Integra but I would only buy it if it had a nicely tuned 6 or 7 auto or DCT with paddle shifters. imo, 10 speed transmissions are really dumb. You are only traveling from 0 to 80 mph. Having 10 gears is unnecessary, and to paddle shift that many gears is ridiculous.

@angelicemperor2686 Месяц назад

I'm with you there. I still have my 03 RSX. Getting ready to get sell it though 😢 (don't want to) I would love to get the new teggy is just too much for what it is. The 1.5t is not worth 42k. So I'm struggling to find a car worth giving up RSX for. Extremely hard to do.

@grimskull416 Месяц назад

@@angelicemperor2686 agreed. I'm trying to sell mine too. The car has become unsafe and I don't think are worth the repairs. I ended up getting a more modern but used luxury car to splurge on myself a bit. But I do miss how nimble the rsx felt. If only I knew how to repair things better

@angelicemperor2686 Месяц назад

@grimskull416 my car is still safe. I've had it for 11 years(my first car) so I have done plenty of repairs(my self and at a shop) I just recently had the eninge rebuilt, but now I am have a complication due to that. Otherwise the car itself is fantastic. Also since I am a single father of 2, I need a bit more room. I wish I made a bit more money, then I would keep it and just get a 2nd car. But that is the complication of being a single parent. So I'm looking into getting either the Integra Aspec 6spd or the Civic SI. Just not looking forward to payments again. Lol

I’m glad to hear a mechanic’s perspective on a car. Most reviewers aren’t thorough at all in their review and don’t conduct a thorough walk through and explain why it’s designed the way it’s designed. If only you could get an engineer’s perspective perhaps they can further explain its design.

@RavenBog 2 месяца назад

I’ve seen a lot of discussion (read complaining) over the price of the Type S. I think whether it’s a good value or not is debatable and depends on what you value. But…when I see comparisons to what you could get for the money back in the day, I have to call BS. In all these comparisons, people seem to be directly comparing “Back-In-The-Day” dollars with Now-Year-Dollars, neglecting the role of CPI. For instance: a 1997 Integra Type R had a starting list price of 23,100. According to the BLS CPI calculator, $23,100 in 1997 dollars is now equivalent to approximately $45,000. That’s not less than half the price of the Integra Tye S - not even remotely close. And, that doesn’t include the fact that the Type S benefits from 25+ years of engineering advancements over the original Type R, to include things like adaptive damping, safety features, tech integration (you might have gotten a CD player?), 123 additional HP. Oh, and to even get A/C in the 1997 Type R, you had to fork over an additional $800 (in 1997 $) for a dealer installed option! So, to claim that cars like this were cheap back then is not understanding how the value of money changes over time, and is not productive in thinking about what we’re actually getting for the money now.
