@@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.

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.

I own one and here is what I don’t like about it 1) no memory seats 2) no passenger power seats 3) no rear ac vents or usb ports 4) very small fuel tank. If you are not driving spiritedly you will be lucky to get 250 miles on a full tank. 5) apple car play is laggy. But what makes all of the above comprisable are 1) the engine and transmission are just a blast. You just want to keep driving. This is my daily driver. 2) the car is really good looking and reasonably comfortable in comfort mode 3) the sound system is pretty good 4) it’s a Honda, so will be reliable and retain value better than the Germans. 5) pretty much shares all components with CTR, easy to get mods, if you want.

@@TheKPABA the suspension is quite comfortable in comfort mode, plus it comes standard with lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control and collision warning. In sixth gear the RPM is 3000 at 80MPH, so you will hear the engine a bit, but it’s a good sound if you ask me. The stock 265 Michelins are definitely noisier than my all season 245 Continentals. The ELS sound system will easily drown any residual road noise. Having said all of that I would absolutely take it on a road trip of any length. To be honest, you don’t buy this car primarily for its comfort. But it is quite comfortable nonetheless.

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.

Amazing technical review. Your channel provides technical insights that no other channel brings, not even Savagegeese. The fact that the dual axis front suspension has bolted ball joints is especially important from a future maintenance perspective. Fun fact: the engine is the K20C8 in the ITS purely to distinguish it from the K20C1 in the CTR. 1) What winter tyres can one fit on this car? On the same wheels or are there steel wheels available? 2) Can a space saver spare tire be carried in the wheel well? 3) The placement of the turbo and exhaust waste gate look very serviceable which is important to me 4) Has the K20C1/8 had any significant reliability issues? Timing chain guide issues?

If you care about a softer ride, you can just throw the suspension module from the Type-S on the Type-R. Same thing with the exhaust, you can delete one resonator, and it's basically the same exhaust. Same thing for tune, you can retune the Type-R with the Type-S tune (or better). Even if they were the same price I'd still take the FL5 Type-R...cause it's much easier to turn aspects of the Type-R into a Type-S, but with the added benefits of it still being a Type-R (made in Japan, better seats, more exclusive, more special, Log-R software, better adjustability, shift lights, etc.).

I owned a 1997 Acura Integra GSR for 17+ years. Absolutely loved that car & the double wishbone suspension put it in another class of sports cars. Even with the front wheel drive Acura found a way to make the handling outstanding. TCCN is right on as the price was right around $20,000 which was not expensive. This Integra Type S at $52000 to $55,000 is laughable. I get TCCN's point about how well everything is engineered on this car. However the old Integra was well engineered with a Naturally Aspirated 4 cylinder high reving ( 8000 rpm Red Line ) / light weight / with the quality priced for anybody. It was easy to maintain & the performance didn't disappoint. Who is willing to pay $57,000 that car out the door ?

Glad to see Honda still making good cars. Unfortunately they lose to manufacturers that are nowhere near their level of quality because they lack the matketing. I don't know how it is in the US, but in Europe it's super uncommon to see new Hondas around ☹️

@@jgreen6139 yes, you see a lot of newer (max 5-10 years old) VW/Audi/Mercedes/BMW here. Toyotas and Suzuki are popular out of the Japanese ones, (sidenote to that, I think I saw a total of 3 Lexus models on the road this whole year) but after the Germans I'd say Kia / Hyundai are the most popular. There used to be an abundance of Peugeots and Renaults but not so much anymore, I literally see more Teslas than the French brands these days. It's kinda the same in Romania, my home country, which is way lower income than Denmark, but during my holidays there I did see a lot of Hondas and Toyotas, which was quite the change, because the VW Golf/Passat and a Romanian Renault subsidiary, Dacia was pretty much the only thing you'd see on the road, along with old decrepid BMW and Opels. The main difference is Western EU countries usually hold on to a car as long as the warranty last, and then they get rid of it, no matter how good that car may be. In Eastern Europe and the Balkans you still have a lot of old cars running around just fine because people actually fix them, but skilled mechanics are starting to be hard to come by unfortunately. My income in Denmark is average, and I had Danish coworkers ask me why do I hold on to a 86k miles 2012 Civic, with "that income". It's pretty odd.

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.

Just wanted to hear your opinion as I trust what you say about the quality and overall design choices under the hood and car and wanted to see how much it differs from its sister, the Grand Highlander (great video btw!)

As always, love to hear your input! To think I bought a 1995 Integra for $5000 in 2003.. I beat the hell out of that car and drove it HARD everywhere I went. That thing was bulletproof. Hope the same ingenuity goes into these. Sadly, I won’t be taking out a mortgage to buy one. Maybe as time goes on these outrageous prices will drop a bit. But that also requires people to stop paying the high prices.

Another great review, goes through the technical and mechanicals of a car, and not the obvious "look the headlights and how they slope, look at the 22" rims"...duh, anyone can see that review. I always wondered about the open rear bumper and if it causes any drag or not. They could've put some function vents in the rear bumper to let any air out...assuming any gets trapped in there. OK - rear bumper talk was for the FL5 CTR. The Integra could probably use rear vent or a functional diffusor. Also, wish Acura did the same to the rear as they did the front...unique stamped panels and molded bumper instead of stick-ons.

After watching a bunch of these I have a whole new appreciation for Honda/Acura. Everything is clean, organized and well built. Far cry from many of the other manufacturers which look great on the interior but in the engine bay and under the car the lack of attention to detail and build quality is very poor comparatively.

I owned a 1997 Acura Integra GSR for 17+ years. Absolutely loved that car & the double wishbone suspension put it in another class of sports cars. Even with the front wheel drive Acura found a way to make the handling outstanding. TCCN is right on as the price was right around $20,000 which was not expensive. This Integra Type S at $52000 to $55,000 is laughable. I get TCCN's point about how well everything is engineered on this car. However the old Integra was well engineered with a Naturally Aspirated 4 cylinder high reving ( 8000 rpm Red Line ) / light weight / with the quality priced for anybody. It was easy to maintain & the performance didn't disappoint. Who is willing to pay $57,000 that car out the door ?
