Love the review! I started out with an 06 TSX Aspec 2.4L+5AT; which, was an Acura version of the European Honda Accord. The new Integra is an improvement in every way over my 06 TSX. Sooooo much functionality with the 5-dr hatch design. Acura needed a very good entry level sedan to get younger buyers into the Acura family. Acura just needs an entry level CUV below the RDX.
I really like your car. I tested one for about 15-20 minutes. It was amazing. My wife did not like it as much. Said it was a "boys car" we will need to share the automobile so we ended up with the Civic sport touring. I like it well enough. I just can't stop thinking about the Integra. Hope I get over it soon. Enjoy your car. It's very nice.
The CVT is for the people who intend to enjoy lot of trips. (I know Acura’s CVT can do up to 47 mpg highway) which is excellent. If you want just the enjoyment of the manual that is still an option but your fuel dramatically drops to around 36 mpg highway and like 28 mpg city.
Good review Sir. I myself have one since late August love everything about it. Only CON so far, after 800 miles and noticed less than stellar MPG. I am not a heavy footed driver at all, suburban driving and only getting 26 mpg. Conditions are great for driving & I am using Premium Fuel (Octane 93 actually as 91 is not available in my area). Anyone else seeing this?
Thank you @luksli81 I am getting good MPG. I get around 30-32 MPG in the city and around 40-44 MPG in highways. Looks like you should take it to the service center and ask them once as its not showing as per mentioned.
I’m having a similar experience, I picked mine up last week and my MPG is around 28-29. I’m coming from a 2015 prius, so I’m not an aggressive driver. But I’m having so much fun with this car, def love everything about it. Except for the wireless charger. Almost useless.
@@gianniclaud Interesting, I see I’m not alone. Yes, the charging pad stops charging any device at a random time, disappointing. Let’s stay in touch and compare MPG reading down the road.
just come across your video about this new Acura, i just wondering how is the road noise you hear from the cabin? i have 22" civic hatchback sport touring, i really like the car but the road noise is bug me, i am thinking to trade in for the integra😊
You might want to update your video to edit some of the years you referenced. Like, you mentioned Acura released their first Integra in 1986 but discontinued it in 2022 in the U.S., and between 2022 -2026, they released the RSX in the U.S.. I'm sure you meant in the 2000s.
You go on about buying top of line package alot, and while it's true it's the best one, obviously. I feel that's when it'd price gets nearer to full luxury cars. Which makes the value less attractive. However the base integra, is entry level luxury car at much lower price than competition, which makes value high. It's like if I'm gonna spend 32k, would I rather get a standard car like the civic touring or a luxury car like base integra, and I'd choose integra. But if I'm gonna spend 40k+ I'd rather get a full luxury car with much more power than acura, such as audi or Mercedes.
Wait. So after the 3 year complimentary service is over, owners of the Integra would have to pay a monthly subscription if they want to keep using the remote start feature that is already integrated into the car? If that's the case, I'm taking the Integra off of my short list for my next car. I know VW does that too. And with both brands, that is a disgusting level of obscene greed.
@@dakotamorgan6594 of course everybody knows, but that will look really ugly on a small hatchback. roof rail and cross bar looks fine on SUV but not car in general
Hey man, I have been running my integra (2500 miles so far) on 87 Octane (minimum). I have been thinking of running it on 91 (recommended). Is it worth it to spend .80 cents more per gallon switching over to 91? I haven’t had any issues running it on 87. Needed some advice form another teggy owner.
Hi Johnathan, I use Shell Nitro+ 93 all the time and Costco premium gas rarely and I am at 4500 miles now. I never had regular 87 on my Integra. I previously had ILX 2019 and did the same. I would suggest having 91 and more as it might have better performance. Running on 87 Octane might not make a difference now but in the long run, the efficiency and performance of the engine will go down. This lead to less mileage as well. Again, its our choice depending on our interests. As I did not try 87 on this, I cant properly tell you the difference on this vehicle.
Higher Octane gas is a waste of money, if you are trying to guage fuel efficiency per $ spent. I use low Octane in all of my cars, even the cars that recommend 91 or higher. If you want peak power, then yes, higher Octane helps, but for me I would rather save the cash and risk losing 5 horse power. I am not racing.
The latest generation of Acura should show you on the fuel door the recommended and minimal fuel octane levels. My 18 RLX and 19 MDX say "91 recommended" and "87 minimal". What is probably as important is using Top Tier fuel like you find at Costco. Top Tier has detergents that will help keep the engine cleaner than non-top tier fuels over time. You can search "Top Tier gas" to find stations in your area. You are 100% fine running +87 Octane if it states that on the inside of the fuel door.
The gas cost from 87 to 91 is normally only 30 cent gallon in the US. As for the turbo 4 it needs the high octane to get the performance numbers you see advertise. The CVT transmission will not rev the motor as high if you put lower grade gas. Are you in sport mode or economy? Basically if you find you are flooring the gas a lot you shoild use the high grade.
A lot of ppl I know that have high IQ in cars told me any CVT transmission will fail around the 100k mile mark . I remember a friend of mine drove a integra while having 162k miles and drove smooth .
It is mentioned as 328 feet as its range online, but yes from inside office or home works for me as well. AcuraLink also provides access from long range to locate and remote start as long as you have internet.
I never would have traded the ILX for the Integra. The ILX has a far superior transmission. It's a more car enthusiast oriented transmission. I find CVT's absolutely mind numbing.
What a waste of my time. I thought you were going to review the CVT performance. You know...pick up, rubber band feel, and zero - 60 in 15 seconds. I also though that you would mention how much each ADS shock costs ($1,500 each) to replace, because they're great when they're new (the first few years) but don't last like standard shocks.
Because some people do not enjoy manual shifting but still want a sporty car to drive. We test drove an Integra today with the CVT and really enjoyed it. Since we both have in town commutes with stop and go traffic, the 6 speed manual is not an option for us. The higher MPG and the and faster 0-60 times with the CVT make it the better choice for us.
How many stop signs can you run in one short video?
- Yes!
The headlight output at night is amazing, they help these 4 👀 🕶️ at night immensely.
I'm glad to see someone did this trim. I was looking at the same one. Great review!

Boi i would have gotten the integra, screw what my wife says. Im the man of the household and i say what goes.

Whoa did youb see those Stop signs?
Amazing MPG for such great design and performance!
I’m assuming you’re from California due to the amount of stop signs you rolled by 😂
Great video
this car or a 10th gen accord sport prozgen please lmk ur opinion
Which one do you like ilx k24+dct or the integra l15+cvt?
ILX's K24+DCT has better performance than Integra's CVT. I like ILX's performance better. But Integra is also good with its Pros and Cons.
You go on about buying top of line package alot, and while it's true it's the best one, obviously. I feel that's when it'd price gets nearer to full luxury cars. Which makes the value less attractive.
However the base integra, is entry level luxury car at much lower price than competition, which makes value high.

But if I'm gonna spend 40k+ I'd rather get a full luxury car with much more power than acura, such as audi or Mercedes.
what kind of gas do you use? Premium is only recommended
Do you EVER stop for STOP signs?!🤯🤬
No in built navigation? Wow.
You have your phone for that
How do you get the navigation to display on your heads up display? Do you use wired or wireless CarPlay/android auto?
It's through Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. Add the option through the settings. It's pretty nifty!
@@foureyeddriver Thanks! I will have to look into turning that on.

I think it is just remote start through the AcuraLink app that would be disabled. Should still be able to remote start with the key fob.
No, there is remote start built into the key fob. You always have that. You can also remote start though the app which is a paid service.
since its roof is not suited for racks, it really needs a pass-thru tunnel in the back seat for storing ski and other long items
There is a cross bar set you can get right from Acura that would hold skis easily.

The rear view mirror camera, is that standard? I never seen that yet. How does that activate?
Thats a dash cam that I installed personally. That does not come with the car.
Really wish the wide body of the Type S was on all trims
CVT transmission opinion?
Coupe woulda been nice.
How much are oil changes??

You said it comes with 4 modes. And only showed 3.
Yes, Comfort, Normal, Sport and Individual mode.
Individual mode is customizable to your own interests.
@@Prozgen thank you for the clarification!
Need to tint those windows

How far do you need to be in order to use the remote start in the app? Can you be in your house?
Within 50 feet from inside my home or office works for me just fine.

@@Prozgen do you need to buy the remote start add on to be and to turn it on from the app
that's my car bro..!!
Bro didn’t even stop fully at the stop sign 😂😅
The technical term is “California Roll”
Or a "rolling stop". Since it can apply everywhere, not just California lol. I failed my first driving test because of that.
2002-2006 sounded like 2022-2027
Something is wrong with the years maybe it’s just me
When you come to a stop sign, you stop! How can we take you seriously if you can’t even do a simple stop?
I never would have traded the ILX for the Integra. The ILX has a far superior transmission. It's a more car enthusiast oriented transmission. I find CVT's absolutely mind numbing.
2026? Did I hear that right?
