100% agree. Acura doesn't separate themselves enough from honda. Sad part about this car is a Honda accord 2.0T is bigger and faster for similar money. Acura just doesn't make a compelling argument over just buying a Honda.
@@b286guy It's not laziness. It's financial prudence. The more shared parts, the lower the cost per part due to economies of scale. Car companies are in the business to make money, not make *every* enthusiast happy.
My base 2021 accord does 0-60 in 7.5. I get it, there’s other things involved like mid-range power, handling and breaking, but if I’m gonna shell out how much they want for this level of car, it should be clearly more advanced at ALL levels than an accord
Because of the price, I'm bummed about only 200hp, no rear vents, no ventilated seats, and you can't get rear heated seats in the US. But everything is expensive nowadays so I can't complain too much. Excited to see the Type S.
He’s still alive? Wow but I’m glad. After watching a lot of retro vids, the question eventually came to mind and I’m glad to see him still giving his reviews.
There’s nothing wrong with this car, but that’s hardly a ringing endorsement. Acura should have saved the Integra nameplate for something truly special.
@@thefastforte2854 I am seeing the A-Spec at least for MSRP band they are on the lot. Unlike the Si, which on top of being marked up, is very hard to find.
The only complaint I have about this car is the CVT. I mean the ILX came with a dual-clutch as standard, so why not give one to the Integra? Other than that, it’s pretty okay. Hopefully the upcoming Type S will add more spice to it.
When Intrega first came out I paid $10,500.00 out the door standard model with no air in 1986 it was a green color it lasted 250,000 thousand miles until someone rear ended me and total it. I could never afford to get a new one and it still looks that way I'm glad the car is back.
I've made a few comments before on the new gen Integra . I owned 3 over the years (91-93 models). My 91 had 130hp, automatic, and hit 60 in 8.7 seconds new . It was zippy and fun , and light, at about 2,600 lbs.. Price in 91: $14k including automatic transmission. The 2023 is about 500 lbs or so (!) heavier , roughly a second faster to 60, and MUCH more expensive , even considering inflation. I'm aware it has a ton of safety and "nanny" features that were unheard of then ... countless sensors, gadgets , infotainment, etc.... But the new one needs work . It looks ok style wise . But why can't they add a few HP, remove some of the equipment content, and make a true "base" Integra like they did in the 90s? a simpler one with just power windows and cloth interior and whatever a LX Civic comes with ? Price it SLIGHTLY above the Civic . It will bring new buyers to Acura.. At over $31-36k , as it stands I'm not sold on it yet .
I love going back through and looking at the old retro reviews you guys did of the integra. I find it interesting that the 94 GSR sedan you guys reviewed back when new, did better in the 0-60 and the 1/4 mile than the 2023 integra. I'm sure the integra has put on a little weight though since then lol.
@@allentoyokawa9068 I'm really anxious to see what that package will provide. I do wish they would call it a type r, integra type r just sounds more correct than integra type s, but i know thats not how acura rolls anymore.
Disappointing that this “Integra” is actually slower than my old ‘05 Tsx that also had 200hp. In 18 years they managed to make their smallest 4 door slower. This is really a Civic option package and as far as that goes, they type r will be a better Civic.
This Integra would be more comparable to the 4-door, 140 hp non-VTEC DC2 Integra from back in the day. The TSX was amalgamated with the TL to make the TLX. The current 272 hp TLX would be the succesor of your TSX.
Please look up a picture of the first gen Integra, its a modern version of the same car lol. This is literally the base model, plus the type S is coming later too. Why does everyone think Integra only means 2001 Integra Type R?
@@iparty98 I don't need to look it up, it was my first car. Were you even around back then? Btw, your whole statement is a contradiction in terms. Do better.
People can say it's selling better than the ilx and that it's the second best selling car behind the MDX, that's not saying anything. The MDX is the only car they sell that's actually selling in good numbers. Look at the integras numbers compared to say the Toyota 86 and Volkswagen golf or civic SI. Just like in the 90s the base model Integra should crush the civic SI in sales but it won't.
I think it's new Integra model is faster and more refined than a comparable civic, performance has improved, interior ergonomics race centered and more driver oriented, all in all, Honda combined yesterday and today's technology and has done it agai.❤😅
Well done Acura. This is forward progress we’ve been waiting, a base Integra today with a 1.5L made more power than the last top of line Integra Type-R with a 1.8L (200hp bs. 195hp).
It's faster then the 2001 Type R Integra so I don't get were your info comes from as motorweek numbers are flat out wrong. This car already raced the type R it's on youtube it won. All this bull sh.. information getting very old. The old GSR doesn't hold a candle to the new Integra let alone the Type R Integra from last generation
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video my family owns a 1987 accura integra with the pop up lights unfortunately I don't have any pictures thanks for the video
Although not designed with economy as the primary goal, our CVT model averaged 43.8 mpg on a 975 mi trip from MI to FL (driven gently with stops only for gas, food and breaks). And had a traffic jam for about 1 hr.
Good luck finding one as there aren't making many and 50k what you be paying. To top it off it has really no features if I want just fast 0 to 60 times I would rather buy Mustang GT the Type gets terrible MPG's and less features for the price.
@@robertblack6630 yeah I’ve found about a dozen within 30 miles or less from me ranging 40-50k with 10-20k miles on them. Worth it to me 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ seeing as I don’t care about 0-60 times on the street. I like the track. I live near circuit of the Americas so track days are what I like to do for fun. I’ve driven 600hp cars and they’re fun, just don’t really care for it to be my daily. I have a 400hp single cab Chevy I work on for fun (gonna end up being my sons first truck). V8s are purely sound for me at this point. My genesis G70 3.3T (got this instead of the type R LOL) has taken mustang GTs for at least an 1/8th of an mile and has 100 less crank hp. Not every car is made for everyone, nor or these cars even in the same category of comparison, so to each their own 🤷🏻♂️
Are the people complaining about the new Integra forgetting the base DC2 only made 140hp? Hell, even the RSX base was the same engine as the EP3 Si of the time only made 160hp. Do I wish Acura used the Accord 2.0T instead of the Si's 1.5T? Sure, but it's also perfectly in line with what they've done previously. Price adjusted for inflation for the base models are on point as well. However, not offering a manual on the base trim and locking it out to the top a-spec and tech pack model is not great, especially considering the same inflation adjusted price for the top trim is about what the RSX Type S was. You're getting more for you money compared to the old car, but it's definitely not an easy pill to swallow. I expect the Type S will be the car everyone was waiting for and priced somewhere around the Golf R DSG, $45k+. I also find it quite odd that they omitted ventilated seats (the VW GLI has them) and rear seat vents (the GTI has those). Either way, if they start offering the manual on the lower trim Integra, that's gonna help at least the value perception if not sales numbers.
@@user-fx6tp3gs8s If I'm wrong, I'm happy to be corrected. I don't believe I said anything factually incorrect. Base RSX used EP3 Si Engine, has same starting price (adjusted for inflation) as the new Integra. Base DC2 integra had 140hp and that price adjusted for inflation is 30k which is also in line with the base 2022 Integra price. Where I could be wrong is my speculation on how a manual could help the new Integra, but I don't think I can be proven wrong on that since Acura just didn't do it so we won't really know. But again, if I said anything incorrect, please feel free to point it out.
The Integra is the #2 selling Acura behind the MDX that's very popular every month since June. In It's first year already outselling the ILX 3 fold over any previous year. 60% of purchases are for more expensive manual. If they sold they base Intgra with Manual why by the Civic Si. Just wait when the 2024 Type S Integra comes out with a custom suede interior and whole lot of NSX style goodies.
These companies always think their $35,000 “entry level sport cars” will appeal to the younger crowd, 22 years old, just graduated but in reality, it’s someone much older who buys it, either for their kids or themselves.
I bought a 2000 Civic Si brand new and I ran 15.7 stock with track temp pushing 110F and not the best tires when I ran it. My Mazda3 awd hb is heavier, with less power, and clocked the same 0-60 according to MW. 7.2 on Car and Driver while doing it on 87 octane.
Would’ve been so cool if they had gone naturally aspirated with a classic Honda high revving vtec. Having a redline of 8,000 would have been a BLAST. Still, I’m sure this one is fun to drive, the fun factor is always increased when a manual is offered. Cheers to Honda/Acura for making them available still!
_Relive their Fast & Furious days??_ The CVT equipped Integra does 0-60mph. In 8 seconds. My 2009 Mazda 6 sSport trim V6 does it in 6.5 seconds. You can put whatever label you want on whatever car. This thing is nothing like the 3rd gen. Integra. This reminds how back in the day, Ford nearly put the "Mustang" label on a vehicle that eventually became the Ford Probe. This thing is an Integra in name only. There's nothing unique or special about this thing. It's a Honda Civic Si with a CVT option and more luxury features. That's literally it.
The CVT Integra does it in 7.2 seconds and manual is 6.8 0 to 60 these guys can't drive this is getting old. It's sad the poor info being put out there I own the car its not a 8 second car.
Acura is long removed from being considered a cool car company and cars like this uninspiring Integra are a huge reason why. Acura's have been pretty lame ever since they went to letters to name their cars.
@@rockhard9369 that too, I had a 2000 civic ex and a 2000 Integra LS and the integra had much better audio deck and climate control center. Comfier seats albeit still cloth, better sunroof, automatic front windows as mine was a 4 door for that one I had. Same system I believe in terms of actual speakers.
Should have had at least 240hp for the base engine, with SH-AWD as an option and rear seat ventilation. I'd save the money and go with the Civic SI or spend just a tad more for the Civic Type-R (barring dealer markups). While I am excited for the Integra Type-S, I'm afraid the 0-60 times will be in the high 5-second range, maybe even 6-seconds. Not exactly exciting stuff
The subcompact market is far too crowded to pay $40k for a slow car. For only marginally more money, you can get a Corolla GR. The Integra is an attempt to get Gen X to hand over their money via phoned in nostalgia.
As I watched this, I wondered how we would view it in 20 years. What would we laugh at as we do today looking at a review from the 80s. The 7.5 seconds to 60 for anything pretending to be performance is the clear winner. That is disappointing today.
The presentation style of this video is straight out of the 90s. Just crop the video to 4:3 and Downscale to 360p and its nearly indistinguishable from the 90s. You guys are truely stuck in time
Acura just don’t listen to their customers and blind to the competition. The ‘23 Prius does 0-60 faster, 57 mpg, and starts at $27K, fully decked $37.5.
Ineresting, slower than the original GSR. I remember MW saying that the AWD Mazda3 (normally aspirated) was slow with the exact same 0 to 60mph performance.
Always wanted an Integra 5sp hatch. Was going to buy one, but it went away. Sad when they stopped selling it here. Bought a Civic and then an Accord, so, Honda didn't really lose anything from me.
7.5 to 6o is ridiculous. Who is this car for? Young people with money who want to go slow? How much do I have to pay these days to get rear wheel drive car with decent engine?
Smart to make it a sports back. However, the original Integra was a two door and this should be too. And for under the hood; give it an engine cover and hydraulic lift and not the cheap looking tuna can stick pole thingy to hold the hood open. Geez Acura! Do you want to appear luxurious or not.
Just wish they made the powertrain a little more special than the Si
The Integra Type S was just spotted testing in Ohio, likely same drivetrain as the Civic Type R.
They’re too lazy to do so.
100% agree. Acura doesn't separate themselves enough from honda. Sad part about this car is a Honda accord 2.0T is bigger and faster for similar money. Acura just doesn't make a compelling argument over just buying a Honda.

Are the people complaining about the new Integra forgetting the base DC2 only made 140hp? Hell, even the RSX base was the same engine as the EP3 Si of the time only made 160hp. Do I wish Acura used the Accord 2.0T instead of the Si's 1.5T? Sure, but it's also perfectly in line with what they've done previously. Price adjusted for inflation for the base models are on point as well. However, not offering a manual on the base trim and locking it out to the top a-spec and tech pack model is not great, especially considering the same inflation adjusted price for the top trim is about what the RSX Type S was. You're getting more for you money compared to the old car, but it's definitely not an easy pill to swallow. I expect the Type S will be the car everyone was waiting for and priced somewhere around the Golf R DSG, $45k+.
I also find it quite odd that they omitted ventilated seats (the VW GLI has them) and rear seat vents (the GTI has those). Either way, if they start offering the manual on the lower trim Integra, that's gonna help at least the value perception if not sales numbers.

Acura is long removed from being considered a cool car company and cars like this uninspiring Integra are a huge reason why. Acura's have been pretty lame ever since they went to letters to name their cars.
0-60 7.5sec is disappointing
Looks like a shrunken Accord Crosstour. I appreciate the manual option but wouldn't buy this. It just doesn't feel like an Integra.
You’re right! It’s just a mid cycle refreshed ILX!
If they didn't put in a cvt and used the 10 speed automatic I'd be happy with it. Even the 8 speed with 15-20 more horsepower I would love this car.
I agree, I may as well get a Civic, why pay more, interior look the same as Civic too. 😆
@@rockhard9369 that too, I had a 2000 civic ex and a 2000 Integra LS and the integra had much better audio deck and climate control center. Comfier seats albeit still cloth, better sunroof, automatic front windows as mine was a 4 door for that one I had. Same system I believe in terms of actual speakers.
The 1995 Acura Integra LS 0-60 was 7.5 seconds lol
John is such a legend!!!!! Awesomeness
I hope everyone in the comment section owns their dream car one day.
Should have had at least 240hp for the base engine, with SH-AWD as an option and rear seat ventilation. I'd save the money and go with the Civic SI or spend just a tad more for the Civic Type-R (barring dealer markups). While I am excited for the Integra Type-S, I'm afraid the 0-60 times will be in the high 5-second range, maybe even 6-seconds. Not exactly exciting stuff
0-60 in 7.5 is slower than the Acura ILX 6MT from 10 years ago. Fortunately the Integra Type S is coming with about 315 hp.
Slower than a 3rd gen tl 6mt from almost 20 years ago
And all of you complaining about HP, just wait for Hondata to come out with a ecu, it will be pushing 250/260.
Shame on you Acura. That’s not an Integra.
Mercedes CLA rear? No hybrid/EV option? No AWD? Not a chance!
From CRX to CRZ and now Integra come alive again, I will own Honda for life
Such a lazy design by Honda.
1.5L is a turn off offer + CVT?
The style is beautiful and upscale
Yep, I wish they go with 2.0 turbo from Accord.
The subcompact market is far too crowded to pay $40k for a slow car. For only marginally more money, you can get a Corolla GR. The Integra is an attempt to get Gen X to hand over their money via phoned in nostalgia.
Cheaper then the TLX. I would buy 1 in a couple years honestly once they have more used ones. Nice car, wish it was a bit faster though
As I watched this, I wondered how we would view it in 20 years. What would we laugh at as we do today looking at a review from the 80s. The 7.5 seconds to 60 for anything pretending to be performance is the clear winner. That is disappointing today.
I want one.
Boy, I love Motor Week!
was excited about this until GR Corolla came out
Who would have guessed we'd ever live in a time where someone would choose a Corolla over an Integra?
Looks okay except for being 4 doors. Not impressed with being heavier and only 200 hp my rsx type s was faster and it was a 2002
the new Integra Type S is way faster than your 2002 RSX Type S
The presentation style of this video is straight out of the 90s. Just crop the video to 4:3 and Downscale to 360p and its nearly indistinguishable from the 90s. You guys are truely stuck in time
Acura just don’t listen to their customers and blind to the competition. The ‘23 Prius does 0-60 faster, 57 mpg, and starts at $27K, fully decked $37.5.
1999: "Wow, the Integra has 200hp!"
2002: "Wow, the Integra only has 200hp?" Acura needs to be more than just a tarted-up Honda.
Ineresting, slower than the original GSR. I remember MW saying that the AWD Mazda3 (normally aspirated) was slow with the exact same 0 to 60mph performance.
200hp nowadays is nothing. NOTHING you mean to tell me my 2012 Scion xB with 158hp can hang door to door with it? ( it can ) that's ridiculous Acura.
Make a 2.0 with Ventilated Front Seats!!!!!!!
That would be the Type it will have ventilated suede seats with a 2.0t from the Type R
Short power long clutch pedal not acceptable at this price
Hopefully Acura comes out with a Type-S version with 300 HP! Then, I may pull the trigger. But the basic one is good.
I'll wait for the Type S to pass judgement on this. So far I'll rather take the Elantra N🤷🏾♂️
Always wanted an Integra 5sp hatch. Was going to buy one, but it went away. Sad when they stopped selling it here. Bought a Civic and then an Accord, so, Honda didn't really lose anything from me.
Waiting for the year two or three before I …. 💰
Improvements coming !!!!
There are now three sure things in life:
Death.
Taxes.

7.5 is freaking slow and for this money is totally rip off
The old DOHC VTEC were way faster
Silly rabbit , you cant trick me. Its a Acura ILX. lol
Exactly!! 😂
Great review. Best to wait for type s. Rather go for the real deal. Civic R with more luxury and grace.
What a horrendous looking thing. That roofline screams 1984 Chevy Citation. I can't unsee it.
Still can't excited about an overpriced Civic Si. Needed more engine at that price point.
Nearly 16 second quarter mile is laughable.
7.5 to 6o is ridiculous. Who is this car for? Young people with money who want to go slow? How much do I have to pay these days to get rear wheel drive car with decent engine?
I’m not feeling a CVT that should’ve been a nine or 10 speed automatic
Those performance figures are pathetic for 2022 (even 2012).
Boooooo this should have been a two door.
The 2Gen Gsr made 14.7 1/4 mile
Just feels like they were trying to up sales amid the growing car culture in America while saving costs by slapping a popular name on a civic
What’s the new trend of making cars four-door that’s supposed to be two.
All new cars look and feel absolutely massive
Then get a Mini Cooper.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 still too heavy
Not my GR86
@@bbcraz1226 No, it's not. If it were then it wouldn't handle like a go-cart. You don't know what you are talking about.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 bro they're like 3200 lbs. In no way is that light.
Wish the most popular drivetrain option would have been tested here. 95% of the American population drive automatics, not manuals.
Smart to make it a sports back. However, the original Integra was a two door and this should be too. And for under the hood; give it an engine cover and hydraulic lift and not the cheap looking tuna can stick pole thingy to hold the hood open. Geez Acura! Do you want to appear luxurious or not.
1/4 mile time seems to be in line with a 2001 GSR. Grade A for consistency. 🤦♂️
Wooow, the spriti rt 30 years ago is more powerful to the integra, bad thing.
