Little Correction! I called it a K20C1. They call the Integra version the K20C8. Sorry!
No problem
UNACCEPTABLE /s
The K20C family has a lot more variants than anyone would think. Fo rexample you'd think the HRV would have the exact same K20C2 off the base Civic, but the HRV actually has a K20Z5
@@Blank00 no the us version of the HR-V was based on the Honda fit but it had a R18Z9 as it's base engine and later it got the same L15B turbo engine from basically any 10th gen civic based car as the upper trim level option.
@@TwisteeTheDefiant1the US HRV has a K20, not an L15. That’s one of the complaints most people have about the car is that it DOESN’T have the turbo L15.
As a Honda R&D engineer in Ohio it's great to hear everyone enjoying the new Type-S. If you're ever worried about the build quality in your American built Acura/Honda just remember every modern NSX and Type S NSX is built in PMC, about 200 ft away from where this is built at MAP.
The exhaust was developed after the Type R, savagegeese had a story about that, and we knew this was the last ICE car we're going to develop, so the best and most passionate engineers here worked on this new Type-S. BEVs are our main focus now, and this is the ICE swan song, glad you enjoyed driving it
Really great inside knowledge here, thank you for sharing!
That means there’s no RDX Type S in the works? 😞
I think it’s sad there getting rid of gasoline engines.
Yu are the man!
I big thanks to you and the team at Acura for this car. Type ‘S’ with this car stands for sexy.
Just wish it had a number plate like the type R.
Are you guys working on any ev sportscars?
The rear is actually pretty good looking to me.
yeah if you like hyundai
It could look better in my opinion. Honestly, if I change the spoiler to an aftermarket one, it might become ‘acceptable’. They absolutely nailed the front end though.
@@frieddayfriday hyundai didnt invent that tail light style
@@123cornflakeman when did i say they invented that style? yes they didnt but they made it very common that's why a lot of people say the rear looks like a hyundai.
Cute face and dumpy rear end. I like it.
As someone who lives in Germany and appreciates cars in their more „extreme“ formats, I must say the approach from Acura is absolutely amazing!! It’s almost like they asked their trainees what mods they’d do and went straight to work without questioning any of them 😂😂
Love the spec, especially these seats combined with the exterior color..
Looks like Honda did a great job with this. Thank you for parsing the differences between this and the CTR. It looks better to me than the FL5. Certainly sounds better. I still like the wild styling, seats, hatch and tail happy behavior of my FK8. But everything else favors the S . Especially the exhaust, ride, and individual modes. Okay, I have 2 more mph on the quoted top end- 169 vs 167. Yeah, that comes up on every drive. Interesting to see that the Acura Type S got the same rear seat design budget as the Honda Type R: zero.
But with FL5s going for $10K + over MSRP $50K for the Teggy looks good.
Probably we should start using the term 'NSRP'- No Such Retail Price.
NSRP is funny haha
it looks so fun already
I got one of the first 200! In Tiger Eye too, very excited- didn’t know it popped crazy like that! Reminds me on my A90 Supra
I think the one thing I’ve felt like I’m missing from the Type R is exhaust. Interesting to see the difference on the Acura, didn’t know they pulled the front res!
Just delete the resonator. Simple
Man, it's a tough world for a car guy. Not being able to afford this now and knowing that when I can afford it they will no longer exist sucks. Not just this car but all the fun ICE cars. Such a tease.
Also, if this car came as a 2-door I think I would have a new addiction.
Cars arent going anywhere. New cars just won't be ICE anymore
How long before it no longer exist do you think? I'm literally like, "I'm waiting til it depreciates some more until I can buy it outright". Does anyone else do this? Lol
The Integra Type S actually makes around 15-20 more wheel horsepower than the FL5 Type R, as per back-to-back dyno testing. FL5 was around 283 WHP and the Integra Type S was 299 WHP.
Damm that’s a great number actually
Link?
@@sdlausen1 savage geese’s youtube
I think it’s priced a bit high but I like the overall package, still worth it for sticker. And thank God it’s manual only!
Great drive Ted! Such a hard decision to either ditch my beautiful A-Spec or take up the Type-S that I reserved. The price is what's killing me about this car.
It’s not cheap but I can’t name another car at this price that drives as well.
@@TedwardDrives True. Better driving experience than the GR Corolla?
Much better than GR Corolla
@@TedwardDrives 😲
@@foureyeddriver both have abysmal rev hang so might as well take the one that drives better in the other aspects haha
Love my TypeS! When I drive it, I feel like when I was in my 20's when I got my Celica GT-S back in 2003. Great car, a blast to take on curvy roads!
As a Honda/Acura fan, there is just so much to like about this car. However, there is enough I don't that would keep me from purchasing. I know we cannot have everything we want, the fact Acura has produced this car is awesome...kudos to them for providing it to us!
Bro your so much better then that other guy who does these type of videos I fell asleep during the other guys video
Do you have any regrets not waiting for the Integra Type S and getting the CTR? I know this is your first drive and still fairly new, but sometimes I think you know right away like dang I should have got this instead. Did you get that feeling driving this?
Nah I love my Honda. I would still love to drive this but the Honda is more my style. A little sharper and more edgy. But this Acura is incredible so don’t let that detract from what they’ve accomplished
@@TedwardDrivesYou might have said this at one point, so if I missed it I apologize.
Do you prefer the FL5 to the FK8, taking price into consideration? I’m looking for a fun daily and torn between waiting to get an FL5 at sticker or going used FK8.
@djaric Thanks for your thoughts. Weird that I can't see your comment but still got the email about it. I'm leaning towards getting an FK8 and then seeing if I fall in love with it or not by the time FL5s come down. I like the styling on the FL5 but really think it needs a color matched wing. Also it does look a bit generic and boaty compared to the FK8 but the one I've seen in person looked like an absolute unit behind me and had all sorts of presence. FK8 is a bit boy racer, but on a lot of days, I really love the look of them. Especially in Boost Blue and Championship White. It would be a daily as well so not worried about cooling too much. I believe the later model years of the FK8 had improved cooling as well so that would likely be enough for me. Thanks!
I love the blue guages in comfort mode cause they remind me of my 07 Acura TL
This really reminds me of my Dad's 2008 KBP TL Type-s. Great sports sedan, a mix of luxury and performance!
I will buy this car sometime in the near future and cherish it forever…. For now my tsx carries enough spirit that holds up😂
consistency is key
Awesome review Ted! I love my Type S, it's such a fantastic car.
I love how sleek and quite understated it looks... apart from the exhaust tips.
Those tips are for sound suppressor
@@salamov963they’re unnecessary and don’t fit the design imo
@@initialyeet3951nah they look awesome
@@initialyeet3951 yeah kinda right but it serves some kind of purpose so
@@salamov963Could have performed exactly the same with single tips on each side and would have looked a lot better.
I think they nailed everything with the ITS except for the price. 48k would have been a more reasonable MSRP in my opinion. Or if they did 52k MSRP with SH-AWD then that would have been worth it.
Yea too many better options at that price.
Like what
Shit 40k
Name a legit everyday sports sedan with a stick shift you can get new in 2023 for around 50k. I'll wait...
@omaremad9125 Mustangs, Camaros, rs3 etc shit even a supra with these markups that are gonna be on this car.
As a Honda fan, I think this car turned out perfect and really sheds the base Integras renamed ILX image completely! This car checks all the boxes to someone who loves a little sports sedan and is everything Si drivers wish for, more looks, and more spice. This car looks so good to me, it makes the CIvic or CTR look hum drum. Big price tag though. IMO all Si should come with the Yofer bodykit for the price in the states, or 35-50 more hp
Love that horrible rev hang that sounds like it's going to blow up the motor mounts when you shift at redline.
This car deserves being awarded, Design of the year, it's the best looking car i've ever seen from this year, absolutely gorgeous, i'm loving this lot, even more so than the Civic Type R, The Integra Type S Is living up to it's name, i've never really seen anything like it in a long awhile (as most cars nowadays looks lifeless & almost looks & resemble each others which is boring), however this integra is so different, it's truly unique looking
I agree except for the rear. Idk why honda can’t seem to pull off a sexy rear like the Italians do
@@wjkrug I actually find the rear great since it goes so well with the frint, but to each their own, that being said while I love Italian cars, I don't quite think an Italian like design rear will work well with the front design
The sunroof delete is very annoying they should at least kept it as an option.
I agree.
Now I understand why people like this POV type videos. Very entertaining and really does give you somewhat of a feeling you're driving the car too. Good stuff
This thing looks the business, looks quite a bit better than the Type R imo
Front looks better, rear looks worse
I have an Aspec W/ tech. I wanted an automatic daily driver since its a lot of stop and go driving for me. I wish these type s videos would stop popping up on my home page... i wanted the type s so bad that i waited a year in hopes of it having an automatic version but alas it didnt. I will say that i honestly do prefer the more elegant look of the aspec but i am jealous of those fender flares.
Great review sir! 👏🏼👏🏼
the car looks great in person. I see a lot of the A spec on the road. Think this might be my next car.
For those bashing the Integra for lacking a coupe version, you should bring that same energy against the Mazda 3. Mazda teased a 3 door hatchback, and yet that is not on sale even after its refresh, so Acura never promised a coupe, but Mazda did.
Ive had the Integra, RSX, and ILX. I need to go back to a manual with this car.
Hey Tedward, will you ever do a video about volvo s60r or s60 polestar? Absolutely love your content btw, just’ve noticed you never review any volvos❤
This will be he hot seller, can't wait to see the first one on the road
Checked the local dealership and it’s $13k over msrp. Huge pass
yeah you could get a '22 Mach 1 (which would absolutely smoke this car) for that price. Stupid stuff, but fan boi's will go broke trying to afford this still pretty slow car...
So $52k + $13k + tax = $70k. Yikes.
Great driving experience pov. Would love to trade the aspec in, but man that market adjustment is a killer for this type of car.
Sounds so much better with the front resonator delete! I hate the fake piped in noise on the Type R.
This is probably the most fun a car has looked in a while
A honda*
Not a fan of the exhaust tips but the rest of the car looks great!
Excellent I wish we have this Honda in AUSTRALIA!!!
No power tailgate at that price? Common Honda /Acura.
That's screaming bean-counters being the Alpha.
The car looks fantastic 🎉❤
Awesome content.
Oh look! Another cool car I won’t be able to get unless I’m dragged over the coals with an ADM.
What a beauty !
Yep, this is the one.
I am soo close to pulling the trigger on this.. I need to decide what color i want. White is the most classic integra color and will age the best. Black looks the most premium. But will age badly especially out here in the desert sun. Blue is flashy but youll get tired of it.
Acura coming back strong, still loving my 23 Integra yeah yeah I have a CVT version but it’s a great daily car to work!
Gayyyyyy
Type S looks more aggressive than the Type R. Ill keep my gundam fk8.
Such a good looking car
Went from talking about the luxurious shifter to going Mach speed in one cut😂
It looks so cool in person. Saw a test mule with taped-over badging and Ohio manufacturer plates yesterday
The content is the cards that you have when you start to make the video, and the video is how you play the cards. Well done Tom
I'm not sure I'm a fan of the proportions quite yet. Might grow on me though
Great job. If I could menu swap I would trade the electric seats, which I’ve never cared about, for the shift lights and gauges from the typeR. Everything else is spot on. I actually like the looks of this over the typeR tbh. Of course either one is going to give you a great experience.
FWD and no V6. Easy pass. With S3 as a competitor (Acura’s words), they need to have SH-AWD as a minimum.
The 50k price tag is quite a lot. That’s as much as a Supra, a Camaro 2SS 1LE, Mustang GT, S3, CLA 45, or any other number of cars.
i would rather have this with a manual than the fwd-biased awd automatic with an s3, to each their own
That white interior is sweet. Especially with that blue!! Does it have the ambient lighting?
it does but only white light; the type r has red interior lighting
Wish it was a rear wheel drive!!
Just not sure if its worth the $55k msrp pricetag and after tax, title, license its closer to $60k. That's best case scenario, even more if you finance it for years.
I would rather get a fully loaded G70 even though they are different cars.
you could get a '22 Mach 1 for that price, and the Mustang would absolutely smoke this thing in every way (especially in looks).
those exhaust tips dont scream "luxury performance sedan" to me
In the age of flash tunning, im surprised ppl arent flashing adjustable suspension systems to the tune they want.
Amazing how the only option for this model is mt...just when i thought that they are trying to make all new cars electric. I must get my hands on this before i die
Is the last manual
Honda already phased out the base civic m/t option
Would love to see some 18in winter wheel set up factory 19in 30 sidewall way too low for daily for northern states
I have an 18in winter setup on my FL5 Type R. Works great! the sidewall helps with the torn up roads for sure
I don’t understand how the CTR has a wider molded body but on the ITS it’s flaring is just tacked on there..and it’s the more expensive version at that, they really didn’t want to make one off doors for the type S but reuse the regular integra doors lmao it’s just hilarious
Acura TLX Type S owner here.. Acura quality and reliability is not where it seems to be. I owned the Aspec 2021 tlx and had a bunch of electrical issues (carplay, puddle lights, steering rack, speakers ect) Now i have the Type S and have TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. They already replaced one and the new one is acting up. Just letting everyone know.
I really don't see the hype when it is a second slower than even a 5th gen camaro v6 manual. if its supposed to be fun to drive why did they put such a slow engine in it?
theres more to life than 0-60 times
Hey man thanks shared yes is better that Honda i like much more Acura is best looks all you say agree is much comfort stability please make more videos test road or how handle start 0.60 if is spin wheel thanks
I drive a Kia Stinger GT now, Fiesta ST for 3 years prior. This car looks like it’d split the difference between these two cars, which imo makes it appealing.
Price with this car will be an issue - Integra name means a ton to enthusiasts for cheap performance - this certainly aint cheap. But, nothing is these days - inflation sucks. Is it worth $50-55K? It’s steep but consider the german cars at that price. None will be as good to drive, imo none are as good looking, and none have much more luxury at this $$. This is also, point to point, faster than most in a non track environment.
For the price i actually think it’s one of the most compelling new cars on sale today. Just don’t buy them after markup at $65-75K 😂
Was the intro filmed in San luis Obispo? Theres a spot I car camped on that looked EXACTLY like that. The marine layer comes up in the mornings and its like you're in the clouds
I freakin love it. Looks so much better than the ctr. I would pay the 50k for this before a marked up ctr.
SavageGeese dynoed the type s vs Type R and the type S has 15 more hp….
Cool
Looks like a great car, but you need to take 20 pounds off that stupidly heavy flywheel - I feel bad for that clutch with all the gear banging
the front end is something else. especially in this color. still prefer the kinetic blue pearl on my TL type s tho😏
Jay Leno's Garage just dropped a video on the 2024 Type S as well.
Tedward, I won't tell Jay that are that much cooler. It's a secret. /s
Loving 🥰 this Color but is it bronze or gold rims..🤔 I would add the typeR seats and be happy with it just as stock or add some bracing, ridged collars, better rear mounts, a few bolt Ons (inlet all the way to a cat-back exhaust 😅🫶🏿) right sounds like I got this one in da bag 😜
okay the back actually looks pretty sick, I'm still sad theres no couple version though.
Yea they only got for single people
SavageGeese put this on a dyno, 30 ft-lbs and 16 hp more than the CTR.
For 50k you don't even get rear climate
You should review the older Integra/RSX see if its still worth buying today.
Nah theyre overpriced af now I had a 94 integra with a ls vtec swap fast af don't get me wrong they're awesome cars if u find them for a good price
The fact that it’s not ridiculously stiff is enough of a difference for me to pick it over the Type R. I like it a lot.
I was hoping for all wheel drive since that’s what Acura is known for 😅
I don’t care what people says negatively about the new Integra. “Oh it’s not like the old one! I don’t like it 🫠!” That’s not the point of this car! I love it and it sounds like you do too Tedward. I do wish it came in coupe form.
Finally! Someone driving the Type S like it was meant to be driven: like an absolute madman who is late for work!
Is there no demand for a fun driving car w manual steering, manual brakes and a manual direct connection stick-shift transmission? I would like one.
You can row gears to your next meeting in style. Love it
265 are wide tires mate. My summer tires & slick tires are 235 wide 😂 also that easter egg is super cool 👀wonder if they've hidden anything else.
I love the type s, but it's obviously overpriced
So they basically made an American JDM car, is what I got from some of the statements said. Being that the CTR is tail happy, as this seems to be more planted like an American muscle car.
I would MUCH rather have this than the Type R.
This Type S looks so much more classy, but retains all the fun of the CTR.
Those 3 center exhaust tips look terrible. Ugh.
I find it ironic that the Japanese built CTR was the one with seat issues and the ITS didn't have these issues
tbf theres been issues with panel gaps and rattles in the integra, but thats more 1st year stuff thats common for other cars too
Aren't California drivers fun? I live here and deal with everyday... Drive safe Tedward! (I know you always do though)
It's pretty fast. I like how you can get over 60 in 2nd. I wish they made a SH-AWD version. The TLX Type S is $5k more, has SH-AWD, but the 3L turbo kind of sucks at only 30 more HP for an entire 1L more displacement. If the TLX was as efficient as the 2 pop in the integra, it should make 480hp (160hp/L). IMO, the TLX is a waste of money and resources and would thus not buy it. I'd take the Integra type S.
Price is crazy....same issue with the Type R.
What’s a better driving car for 50k?
@@TedwardDrives you know this isn't a 50k car, the ADM's I'm seeing are stupifying, you can get a '22 Mach 1 for less and that Mustang would destroy this car at literally anything you wanna compare.
@@TedwardDrives If you know one for 50, please let me know first! 😀
So garbage for the price. Y’all need to stop settling for 300hp for 50k+
looks like a more matured and elegant type r. are you considering trading in your type r for this?😁
Got it, buy a type s and put a stiffer rear sway. Sounds great to me.
Type S vs Type R? What I really care about is Type R vs Outlander PHEV 🤔
If I could buy one car new today it would be this. I’d love to have one of these in my own perfect spec and own it for 10+ years. Such a nice looking and driving car!
