On the inside you will be greeted to a precision crafted cockpit. Is the 2024 Acura Integra Type S a BETTER sport sedan than an Audi S3?

    Well done again Joe and Lori. I was definitely waiting for this on throttle. I LOVE this car. I already talked to the wife and she said this is our next car. Acura won me back with this Type S and for once, I don't mind the piped-in sound. I can't believe I said that. Honestly, too many cars are just too big and wide to enjoy on public streets which is why I really appreciate the size of this car and the way they package it, it is incredibly practical. Also, it looks like there is no auto engine start/stop which is a HUGE plus for me. Now it is a matter of me putting the money together and hoping dealer make-ups are not insane. Thanks again, Joe! What an amazing time to be a car enthusiast!

    At this price point the car should have ventilated seats, moon or pano roof, illuminated door sills and dead pedal, power seats for all.

Never ever used the moon roof. The infotainment system doesn’t bother me. Who cares if the passenger has electric seats. Great looking car. The only modify is tinted windows. The price point and the manual transmission, separates enthusiasts with money and the others who wants to ruin this gem with bolt ons.

      Agreed! It's great to be able to identify with a bona fide manual enthusiast. On that note, it seems like the press cars always have a clutch that's still breaking in. I doubt the launch from a stop would've bogged like that if the clutch had maybe another 5k on it, especially since Raiti's daily is an STi Type RA.

    Great video Joe & Lori !! I absolutely love this car and the fact that Acura has a manual transmission in 2023 is amazing !!! I only drive manuals so this is right up my alley. I am disappointed in a few things, no sun roof, no aluminum dead petal as it looks plain without it. I can "almost" do without a power passenger side seat but for the money it should have ventilated seats for sure. I can't recall if the back seats were missing vents for heat/air and no connectivity which is crazy and if I am wrong I do apologize. Bottom line it is an incredible car abd the looks blow away the competition. I would still buy this car tomorrow even without some of those features but it would be nice to have. GREAT job Acura !!!!

    Thoughts between this and the tlx type s? Just got myself a 2023 tlx type s a few weeks ago. Hope I didn’t make a mistake lol.
    Seems like the tlx has awd and is a bit faster. I do love the styling on the integra though

    went on a road trip with my new Type S . Except for a cut tire that became a costly repair (no spare BTW and no run flat which is crazy). The trip was just fantastic. Price is hign compared to mundane Japanese cars but a steal when compare to equivalent German machinery. Used to drive BMWs. They got boringly comfortable or super expensive. No regrets.

    Lets take a moment to appreciate cars like this still exist today. And bravo to Acura a company that typically plays it too safe and underwhelms us appears to have delivered a winner. I’d probably still pick the Type R since im more about performance/driving and less about tech and luxury in an enthusiast car but no denying this is a great option for those that want more creature comforts. I’ve long forgotten about Audi and MB since the manual transmission went away. Those 2 companies don't even exist to me anymore lol and with its hatch option and incredible manual gearbox i’d take it over the BMW if i wanted some luxury to go with my fun car.

    Of all the cars I've had over the years, i miss my 2000 Integra Gsr the most. My most recent car is a 2022 audi s3. All the other cars have been manual and i was ready to take a break. I find DSG amazing for what i was looking for in a driving experience. I know honda has apparently perfected fwd but i still like the extra benifits of awd even the front wheel biased haldex in the s3. If honda/acura stepped into the performance awd game i would take a serious look. Even if it was manual only.

      @AnotherUser 30wtq (10% more torque down low you absolutely notice) the torque comes on earlier in the TYPE S. 16whp peak not so much, but the torque is what provides the get up and go so yes it will be very obvious. There are direct comps of the dyno from both cars with the same fuel at the same place the same day that provided this data with the support of King Motorsports. This also comes from an owner of the FL5 that verifies it to be a faster feeling car than the Type R. The Type S sounds leagues better than the type R also with a proper exhaust setup.

    Joe, wow 1M subscribers ! I remember when you folks did your 100K subscriber live video call. As far as the Acura Integra Type-S is concerned, I know it is a fantastic front-wheeler, but it is certainly a missed opportunity to not have their SH-AWD system in this car. Instead of Honda doing magic with a front-wheel platform and eliminating torque-steer etc., they should have just started with a rear-biased AWD system, and done their magic with that.
