All new the 2023 Acura Integra hopes to rekindle a long lost love and appreciation for affordable, low powered sports cars, like the Volkswagen GTI, BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, and Audi A3. Built on the same chassis as the Civic Si, can the 2023 Acura Integra A-Spec find its groove in a market that's had trouble gaining traction in the US? Let's find out!
    Huge thank you to Ira Acura for letting me stop by to film the 2023 Acura Integra A-Spec!

    I just paid a deposit an A Spec package today. I found this video because I wanted to see a review of one without the technology package specifically. I feel like I may be missing out a little on the 9 inch touchscreen, but this video convinced me that I will be more than satisfied with what I'm getting. I definitely identify as someone that could not get a Civic hatchback. I've tried for the past 6 months and the dealers told me it would take 6 months to get and marked those up so much that I am literally getting this Integra for 3K less than the prices quoted to me by my local Honda dealers! I'm excited. I just hope the the stereo on the non tech pkg is at least slightly above adequate and I'll be more than pleased.

    9th day in and I love it and my wife loves it and children too. I loved my 1992 4 door white with all blue interior and I love my 2023 Elite a spec Canada 🇨🇦 version and love it for what it is not based on other brands or past. Fast enough, luxurious enough, more than the awesome SI enough, technology enough, ride handling and performance more than enough....fun factors...amazing and awesome.

    I bought a 2024 Integra base model to replace my 2015 VW Golf 1.8 TSI S 5MT 2-door. I like the extra power the Integra offers over the Golf; how the car feels a bit more premium than mainstream offerings; the controls are quite easy to use; the convenience features like the keyless entry, push-button start, Apple CarPlay and five-door hatchback practicality; and upscale features like automatic climate control, heated seats, and a sunroof. I also like how I am driving something uncommon as I see a lot more 11th-generation Civics on the roads than new Integras, along with the free routine maintenance that comes with the car. Overall, I feel the car is a good value package for those who are looking for something fun to drive, reliable, upscale, and practical.
    The standard CVT doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I like the Brake Hold feature for the stop-and-go driving that's typical around the Boston area, and I actually feel refreshed when I arrive at my destination, as I wasn't working my legs and arms out by shifting gears (that said, I loved the manual transmission of my Golf and if the 6MT was available in the base Integra, I would have bought it).

    Disappointed with ambient lighting. It should be like the MDX. As a luxury brand, it should have a panoramic sunroof and a larger infotainment screen. The dashboard should be inspired by the MDX in order to create a distinctive image from the Civic.

      What kind of rationality is that. Name one modern car that weighs less than its predecessor from 20 years ago. If you had an accident at over 50 mph in this car, you could walk away without even a concussion. If you had an accident at over 50 mph in your old Integra, chances are high you would be dead.
      Yet this car is faster than an Integra type R which had 200hp and weighs less and still is fun to toss around. Would you rather buy one of the German competitors that weigh 500-1000lbs more than this?

    Test drove this A-spec model with CVT. From a start, only comes to life above 20 mph. Noise level only passable. AC fan too noisy. Bumpier than I like. At 6’4” in back seat my head hits roof. Leg room is fine. In driver’s seat, no problems. Steering is fabulous. Don’t like sitting in back - no AC , can’t see anything forward unless you lean into center and peer around front seats. Lots of cargo space with back seats folded down.

    • @tangojulietfoxtrot
      @tangojulietfoxtrot Год назад

      On paper they have the same HP. However dynos are showing around 230 for the Acura stock. The Kia may look nice at first but after a couple of months take a look at the paint and you will see exactly where Kia went "cheaper" on. The same goes with Hyundai. In order to be so competitive against the big boys they had to cut costs somewhere and it is clearly the paint and even the interior plastic parts feel cheaper.

    🤔 all I see is a renamed ILX. the Integra should have came back as Honda's coupe to replace the canceled Civic coupe. in Japan, the Integra was always badged as a Honda so it would have been cool if it returned to the U.S. market that way...
