Unpopular opinion here - but the Type S front and rear suit this chassis' look better - much more aggressive than the FL5
I can’t believe people think the FL5 looks better at all tbh
Hands down, better looking than the Type-R.
The Type S definitely looks better
I think so too, but I love how Honda made the Type-R's wide body fenders seamless and slick. a little more understated and grown up. I guess its just a different target audience.
Can't believe people think an acura looks better than a purpose built type R
Honestly I’m glad both the Type S and Type R exist. They’re good compliments to each other. Enthusiasts who want the full hardcore experience go for the Type R, but for those who want a similar feeling without the rawness go for the Type S. Honda & Acura teams did a great job differentiating them imo
The craziest thing is . The tame looking typeR made more sense as the quite comfortable ride. And more aggressive looking TypeS should've been the more rowdy one
Well said
Type S needed SH-AWD ☹️
@CarlosValdez-nu4gn maybe you can make a crv conversion.
Now that's what you call a glow up. The type-s looks so much more exciting and dynamic and sporty compared to the base integra.
While I do agree, it's still a piss poor excuse of an Integra. That's as the memes called the car when it debuted, an Accord Crosstour.
Love the FL5 and Type S! Personally I prefer the front end of the Type S but aside from that I’d go with the FL5 for sure
I dont trust video titles anymore 👀
My video titles can be trusted.
Started this video having low expectations for the type s, but honestly, it’s super sick! Acura definitely put some thought into this and it came out looking and sounding great!
I definitely prefer the sound of the type S. Type R still looks better tho
@@magicwaffl3z oh 100% prefer the Type R as well, but the Type S definitely surpassed my expectations.
@@MichaelAngeloo agreed
I was surprised how much I liked the type s considering how much of a let down the standard integra felt like it was.
Same here, I thought Acura completely dropped the ball with the base Integra. Then as soon as the Type S dropped I fell in love with the design, it looks so much better and I even like it over the FL5 and FK8
why suprised every base integra ever looked like a normal car compared to the type s/r variant
@@joa4613in what way? The old type R was just yellow and had the big wing and different wheels, but the body was the same.
@@joa4613base integra absolutely slaps and dominates
The type S reminds me so much of the FK8 as well. It’s a good mix of luxury and sport. With that being said, I’d keep my FK8. Thanks for the first look!
Same, I own an fl5, and I'm not trading mine in for an integra s. It's 8k more, and you know they are gonna be marked up too.
My local dealer had an integra s at 53k and 5k mark up plus the carbon package (additional 7k). We're looking at around 65k plus ttl, I'm thinking about 70k out the door for an integra s, which is insane.
I got my fl5 for 52k out the door, including ttl. The integra s' are too expensive for what you get imo. If someone can get it for msrp or near msrp, then it's a good deal, but most people probably aren't gonna get that. Even 60k for the car is robbery imo.
Also looks too much like a tlx type s, it's lazy unoriginal styling for the price.
Definitely prefer the Type S styling and interior minus the seats, just need to swap the bucket seats into the Type S and you got the perfect daily.
Bucket seats and “daily” are a bit of an oxymoron don’t you think?
@@ROVA00 nope not at all. Not all bucket seats are uncomfortable and racing only. Most of the modern sports car now have incredibly comfortable body hugging buckets.
I prefer the rear and interior accents in the typeS, but typeR is my overall pick.
That’s so crazy 70k + for an integra there is just so many other things I’d spend that on that’s wild..
I work for an Acura dealership and we aren’t doing mark up on it just msrp. We have 20 people on the wait list because we are the only dealer in cali not doing mark up
Absolutely love the type s. It’s the Japanese muscle car for the states. Bigger. More comfortable, louder etc.
Just upset at the dealer markups. Even just a few years ago $35k was plenty to get a new or low mileage amazing performance car. I’ve been waiting for years for all these enthusiast cars to come back but I’m scared they won’t last. Trust me there are WAY more people barely living paycheck to paycheck right now and the thought of NEEDING a different car is terrifying.
I got a Kona N for 35k and it slightly beats these cars in acceleration and is also rated for the track.
Agreed. Just bought 2023 VW Golf R and paid 10K markup and gave me slight break since was repeat customer. I should not have bought it but at my age I have more money than years left on the planet. Got email from VW to leave a review of the buying experience and I did bring up the "market adjustment" due to poor supply of these enthusiast cars. Put blame on both the manufacturer and dealer. I put in this was my honest opinion and from a guy that has bought MANY cars. Back in 2006 I bought new BMW Z4 M Coupe and got $500 discount since was repeat customer then. This car was very limited as well at the time with only a three years run. Dealers are definitely more greedy now and take advantage of enthusiast buyers. Part of it may be how COVID affected the supply chain and their bottom line.
@@doctorrobert60 first off congrats on the golf r! Such an amazing car all around! Don’t pretend like you don’t look back at it every time you park it and start to walk away 👌🏼👌🏼. You have every right to feel the way you do regarding the difference of being repeat customer. Man I bet you had the time of your life in the Z4! Pure definition of a drivers car!
@@khronin great pick! Out of everything out currently theirs NOTHING that touches the value compared to it! How’s it been treating? Smile ear to ear every time you get in it?
@@brap_stu_tu_tu Actually traded in another car and still have the 2006 Z4 M Coupe. Can't let it go and will gift it to my Nephew when my arthritic back makes it too hard to get in and out of. Handles better than the Golf R but is meant to but the Golf R is great compromise of ride/handling/utility. I do look at it walking away and in the lapiz blue in the sunlight looks great.
Both are amazing cars! But from the two I would definitely enjoy driving the FL5 a lot more. Like you said the Type R just hits like home
I love both but I’d rather have the Type S. I like how there isn’t so much red on the interior, I prefer the styling over the Type R, and the exhaust is much better too.
So u like stick on arches
@@van_der_lindeDA They look fine to me, don’t see the big deal with them.
@Tanner_Teves where in the world besides North America is the Acura going to be available, any Acura for that matter?
The bronze rims and the carbon pieces u can get from Acura as options look amazing on it
Carbon packaged is like 7k at my local dealer for the ITS. They wanted that plus 5k adm, like 65k plus ttl, probably 70k out the door.
Like you said. One is more enthusiast driven the other is for style. I personally love the look of the Type S over the FL5. I would love to see one modified out in the streets. I really think both of these cars are about to hit the car scene really big in the next couple of years.
Personally I prefer the exterior styling of the Type S and I would like the nicer interior quality too. Both cars are awesome.
I love the new Integra Type S. My very first car was at 98 Integra GSR Coupe... I loved that car so fun to drive. Maybe one day I could upgrade to this beauty. You got to get it.
Awesome video as always Dustin. Can't wait to see who wins the giveaway R35 GT-R. The FL5 is so awesome you can beat the FL5.
i still prefer the fk8 over both the fl5 and the type s. but i’d choose the fl5 over the type s in a heartbeat
Same here!
I think u should definitely get the Type S too man to add to ur collection and let people know and see how the car is and even if u mod it. I love it cause of the four door option and manual transmission in it. I will definitely get this car later when I get the money for it.
They look so great in person!! The Acura here in Vegas brought it out to the last Rides and Coffee; beautiful car inside and out!
i would go type s over the type r only because of the luxurious feel for daily driving. if i wanted to feel sporty every day while driving, i’d obv take the type r
Of the 9 that Acura of Charlotte NC has for allocation I have one of them allocated. Hopefully all goes well and I’ll have one before the end of the year! Love the new integra!
Best of luck with getting your Type-S
Keep your Type R and get the Integra Type S in white to just chill in. Have both!!! That would be SOOOO sick bro
FL5 on top fs but… would be pretty cool to see the FL5 go full race car mode and Type S be the street legal daily but… on the the other hand NSX needs to be in the Honda collection! Whatever you do, excited to watch, but would be way more excited for a NSX lmao
For styling, I think I have to give to the Type-s, BUT for the full package I'd go for the CTR.
Glad he kept the fl5 I definitely love both but in my heart I also like the fl5 more
I look at it this way: The Type R is more for the car guy who’s into modding the crap out of their car, track it, and actually build it. The Integra Type S is more for the OEM+ type car guys (myself) who will put some wheels on it, maybe lower it, interior mods and some exterior bits but not go over the top with changing the full suspension, upgrading turbo, get rid of cats etc.
Idk, of course it’s my opinion 😅 the ONLY reason I didn’t buy an FL5 is because I wanted something not so rough (after test driving it I knew it wasn’t for what I needed from it) then they teased the Type S and I knew it’s exactly what I wanted.
Loved the video!
I just looked at the DE5 today. If it wasn’t for the seats, gauge cluster, and temp gauges i would be trading my FL5 for sure.
It's nice to see the comparison between the 2, and the Integra Type S looks like it'll be an amazing daily. Honest opinion if you want to add to the Honda family why not go NSX or NSX-R. I would absolutely love to see a Legends NSX build on the channel! Congrats on 1K miles bro 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
I own a CTR FL5 and I really do like the Integra Type S but hate the look of the “tacked on” rear fender flares. Especially that little piece attached to the rear door. Both are great cars but I think I’ll keep my Type R.
Much better wide body integration in the CTR.
One of the guys who designed the car bought a focus rs and that was the baseline for how they wanted the Integra to sound
I just purchased the Integra Type S and love the options over the Civic Type R living in Canada winters!! There both great cars bit for me, the Type S does it all I need. If your going to run the vehicle on a track, Type R takes it.
Haven’t seen a type s in person yet….but just by videos and pictures I love how more aggressive it looks than the fl5
Its one of the cleanest Integra's in a long time. The lines on it are aggressive but in the right way. Well done to Honda for developing both lol
the Type S is totally my kind of car. would love to drive one of these
Thanks for the comparison Dustin. If you're looking to add to you collection. You may want to wait for the PMC edition, which I'm sure they'll do in Red, White & Blue.
Just picture you having the fl5 and her having the Acura. 🔥
So far he's the only one that can drive manual properly. No hiccups
So what you’re saying is Tiana should get an Integra Type S 🤔
Still love the spoiler of the Type R. Love the championship white. Maybe that's why I like the Type R but this Integra with bronze wheels just undeniably looks so good.
Just got that white one with all the accessories- i actually enjoy this integra more than my 2018 M3 I had! Love the Alcatara wheel
If we can put the type S exterior on the CTR it would be the perfect CTR 😎 , exhaust and all. I’ll be ok with the FL5 interior but the exterior and exhaust etc…. 🔥🔥on the Type S
Haha
Im sure through ECU tweaks / dash mods. You could get the F1 inspired dash mode and Lap R feature in the Type S. Just sayin’
The Type S really reminds me of the CT4 Blackwing or the newer Vauxhall Monaros with that front end, the flares and then that really sharp line down the side. Good stuff Dut!
I wanna see a DC2 or DC5 on the channel! Leaning towards DC5 Type S just cuz I own one. Lol. Could do a comparison of old K20 vs new K20 and their respective chassis performance and handling. There's nothing like a screaming NA K20 VTEC engine. Especially with internal upgrades with more aggressive cams and everything else.
Would love to see you track both the Type S and Type R for comparison
Gotta get a NSX-R imported from Japan if possible. That would be insane for the collection.
I really dig everything about the Type-S except the front end more so the grill its just so large.
Honestly i think i like the Integra more than the fl5 it looks more aggressive at least in videos my man really trying to work that sale too 😂
Bruhhhh, do it!!! BUT if you gonna track it, keep the FL5 and if you want a bad ass quick daily, get the Type-S!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
So happy to hear youre sticking with the Type R. I also recently brought my FL5 to an Acura dealership who has a Type S. And yes the ITS definitely looks really good in person and most definitely sounds better but overall I wouldnt trade it for my Type R either.
I own and fl5 as well, and wouldn't trade mine in either. My local dealer wanted 52,995 plus 5k adm and the carbon package (addictional 7k). It was 65k plus ttl, so like 70k out the door for an ITS.
The car looks good, but looks too much like a tlx type s. Really unoriginal looking for the price.
THE ITS LOOKS AMAZING IN PERSON.
Love Acura not a Honda fan or anything but if I had chose I'm going with Acura all day
Buy youself a low mile FK8 and save a ton and no dought in my mind it will be a classic like the S2000.
Unless you go to the track all the time Type S makes more sense for daily driving which 99% of type R people also will be doing. Both cars are great but I would still choose Integra Type S, makes more sense, since you get performance of Type R but its easier to live with on daily.
Ok the sound of the new Type S is deep good sound !! , Dustin I have always considered that your collection needs an Integra!! , I would like to see your work on DC2 Best FWD or maybe a DC5 I would like much more than the new type S
I think the type s and fk8 is a better combo personally, nsx wins though.
Edit: just made it to the end and 72k is crazy, even 52 is rough for me personally
Hard choice they are both awesome machines.
I love the Type S - it's the ultimate daily...but not for $70k. If you could find one without the insane mark-up, I would trade the GR for it. But that's just me without regard to YT content.
Imagine you could spec either car with options from both like the seats, display, carpet ect
Acura is my choice…beautiful interior…brand prestige….more sophisticated looking. Honda looks better than the previous model, but that Acura looks incredible. Saw one the other day…it’s a head turner…the Honda not so much
I think it'll be like a HIS(Civic Type R) and HER (Intergra Type S) car that would be dope tho.
Both are real good! I wonder if you can swap the type R seats into the type s
Man I want a 2023 type s so badly!! If I ever get one or have the money to get one I will keep it forever basically. My first car was an 1999 Acura integra and I loved that thing so much before I totaled it 😢😢😢😢
Hey man best choice because many say Acura is top for comfort sound stability luxury good cars make plus Acura behind always listen customer when report or need fix they do right way no like others company Europe or any others do what they want and ignore world customers bravo man good car i like so much
Acura is beautifully crafted. Above the grade. Unique in its own
Saw the FL5 in that bright blue and it looked really good. Has width that the camera doesn’t pick up
The Integra Type S is pretty dope. I've only seen the A-Spec in the wild so far and even that one is nice. The people crying online when it was announced are just plain wrong, especially considering that aside from the DC5/RSX generation there's always been a 5 door hatch Integra.
There's a little retro car club meet near me every thursday, and last week there were two FL5 Type Rs and two Si's. The coolest thing popped up as well, a Kenmeri Skyline. But I think my favorite from last week was a mint 5th generation Accord SiR wagon... those astute enough can figure out I used to have a 5th gen Accord that I SiR cloned based on my handle here.
Tiana can't pour beer... that pour is like half head/foam. Someone teach her how to do it properly.
Its kinda like the fl5 is aggressive on the inside but subtle on the outside and the integra is aggressive on the outside but subtle on the inside also dut broke his record of just "looking" and actually just looked at it 😂
Goals! You with the FL5 and and the wife with the ITS!!!!
Integra for me!! I'm more of the have fun daily driver guy. And that Integra suspension I hear is more daily friendly.. creature comforts plus performance where it's at
The type s definitely a great addition but perfect for your wife. She loves the car and it suits her. Both of ya'll can make content modifying it and mob together as a couple to shows.
“Made in Japan” sold me on the CTR - done
I think they are both great, and would get either, but maybe you can get with Tim and he can start doing some track with you
Everything Dustin “wishes” he can do to the FL5 he can pretty much! If I’m not mistaken a lot of the parts from the Type S could fit the Type R or custom fabricated to fit!
Glad to see you have a sense of humor with the thumbnail, lol. The way everyone is calling this the type r killer or saying it's better is only a matter of opinion. If you want a tuner car, the type r is better, you want a sport luxary car the type s is better.
Living the dReam!!
Tiana on the vlogs is just a good feeling, do another travel blog, like the egypt one!
It's selling for MSRP here in Canada! Going to trade my 10thgen si for it!
The dealership I work at has a champ white coming in and we are only 5k over msrp, for reference we sold a Phoenix yellow fk8 for 12k over. We also have a black si coming in!
Saw the video and thought id comment saying thats not a 'real integra' But man it actually really surprised me, Talk about a glow up, Would be dope of you could have your ctr seats in it instead of those luxury styled ones.
Although id rather see a DC2 build!! Been waiting for that one from you or Throtl 😅
My gr Supra gets about 30+ hwy and 26 city… love this thing
I’m a Honda guy (cars and motorcycles) myself and I’d love to get that Acura 😊
Dustin is correct about the timeless subtle design of the FL5 in comparison to the S. The simpler lines and cleaner interior will still look great in 10 years. FL5 for me all day.
Go give that man the sale. Perfect car for the channel!
I don't blame you the new integra type S looks good.
Type S outlook is nice. But type r will always be my first choice after owning a few type r
FL5 Type-R is the way to go! $7k cheaper, better appearance and a more raw driving feel. Overall, its a win-win!
My college grad gift to myself may be an FK8 Type R, I work at a dealer and I have been in love with the new Type R even before they came onto the lot, we have a Type S at our Acura dealer and I would add it to your collection if I was you
I just sold my 22 SI (to get FL5) for more than I paid meanwhile Integra depreciated 5k from new. I think the same will happen with Type R/S Honda will hold ad 45K used and Integra will be the same. I did get both for MSRP I know that's not the case for everyone.
If the Type S had at least 25 extra HP from factory, nobody would think twice. When it is just cosmetic differences, the Type S definitely looks more expensive inside and outside. The markups at the dealers start at 10k so at that point you may as well cross shop with a Mercedez CLA45 AMG or a BMW M340i which are selling at MSRP. You may even be able to find a better deal than MSRP. The MB and BMW aren't the same car category but the price will be around the same as the marked up Integra Type S.
Still waiting for that miat build lol
Slap those type r seats on the type s and that should’ve bin the type r much more aggressive and race car look stands out the way it should, thats why i love the fk8 its whats a race oriented car should look like
It's just your fancy new daily, if you want a daily that's in the Honda family, then get it. There will be cool upgrades for it, so you can play with it.
Both are real good!
Poor Miguel thought he was going to sell a car. Dustin ain’t buying shit
The type S with the type R seats would perfect
I think it's great how they made essentially 2 versions of the car but as you stated the Type R more for the track and raw enthusiast market whereas the Type S is more for the person who is going to just have daily fun with the car and isn't into modding as much and just wants all the creature comforts from the factory. I personally like the looks of the Type S better but I still appreciate the clean styling of the Type R.
In terms of the markups from what I've seen online is people are saying Acura told their dealers they can't sell any Type S's until 30 days after their first delivery of them they're essentially demo models for now, so if that's true maybe it's a good thing since it will give them more time to produce the vehicles while also giving the public a first look at the car and hopefully after those 30 days the dealers bring the prices back down to MSRP. Only time will tell, but great video.
I honestly think the integra is more of a car for people who want to mod. If you think about it, the type r is already setup for track with the bucket seats, suspension and less weight. The integra has seats that are ok but one light want to upgrade.
I called the dealer before driving. This car looks great but it has a 15,000 thousand markup making this car almost 80k. This is 2022 M3 price is even more expensive than the Lexus IS 500 and the cadillac CTS 4V blackwing. It looks amazing but no thanks ACURA you can keep it for 8Ok. I bought my self a 2023 IS F Sport.
