    I love all the comments criticizing this car for being a gussied up Civic. Guess what, that is what the Integra always was! Honda prides itself on fun-to-drive, and not all out speed. This car, plus the Civic/Si, get universal praise for overall driving experience despite them not being the fastest cars in the world (which Civics and Integras never were).

    If you are looking at a Civic Si, this will be the same price. Most Acura dealers have several MT in stock and discount, while if you can find an Si, there will be an ADM.
    Plus you get a Hatchback, more features and a longer warranty.

      This is still true to this day even long after the covid and chips shortage are gone. You can get a better deal with Integra compared to the Si which will be marked up ala type r. You get a better stereo system, full beam front headlights and rear led lights, with the driving dynamics of the Si with an Acura badge.

    I like Honda/Acura products. I drove Accords since 1981 and just bought my first Acura a 2023 Integra A Spec with the CVT. The overall driving experience is excellent with sharp handling and great driving dynamics and the engine is very fuel efficient if you don't drive like a madman. It has a few shortcomings. Mine has no USB or power outlets for rear passengers, no rear center armrest, came with no spare tire (INEXCUSABLE at this price), and the road noise inside the cabin is much higher than it should be.

    Bought a 2024 Integra ASpec Tech earlier this year in the dark grey. Very sharp looking car and enough power for day-to-day driving. Also great mpg. Plus, not a lot of other hatch/lift back options in a smaller car if that’s what you want. I like it a lot. I’ve driven a 2024 Civic hatch and the Integra is definitely nicer in terms of interior quality and feel. But agree with others that it’s probably not quite better enough than the Civic to justify the added cost for most people. I don’t like the tacked on infotainment, gloss black trim around the shifter, no spare, no rear vents. Good thing about them not selling well is you don’t see them around much so you get a distinctive looking ride😂 Problem with Acura overall I think is they aren’t truly luxury so they just don’t differentiate enough from Hondas.

      Manuals were always the default transmission relegated to base and lower optioned vehicles. Now these shysters offer/market the less expensive manual transmission as a "step up/more prestigious option when in reality it's just the opposite. The deception and lack of customer concern is so pervasive and pathetic these days! I personally love driving a manual and it's a shame they are being phased out.... almost completely because very few people care about driving dynamics any longer and the fact that most of the population is too lazy to learn how to drive one. There companies mantra is to appeal to the masses and damn the individualist types who look at a car as something other than an appliance.

I wouldn't say "no" to another 40 Hp (which you could likely get by tuning the thing), but it's a blast to drive. The only real improvement that I'd suggest to Acura is slightly less cabin noise -- it's not noisy, but definitely a bit louder than you expect from Acura. No regrets on my purchase. Why not the S-Type? You lose a couple of key features, but really, for me, it was the drop-off in fuel economy along with the additional cost.

They explained to me that if it wasn't loose, it would be harder for the transmission to shift or some bs. It's bizarre as I've never had a loose shift boot in any other manual car but this Acura. I'm still wondering if the technician was playing me for a fool or if Acura actually makes it loose by design.

    It is so frustrating how manufacturers are using cheap shortcuts on their products. This is a good example....no rear HVAC vents, no spare tire, no seat pocket behind the driver and no wiper on the rear window. I mean how much would it add if they just put these items in every offering.

    Near lux and full luxury cars do not have hood prop rods. How much do a pair of gas struts cost? How much more do they ask for this version over the civic? Give it a more powerful engine, give it SHAWD, for Pete’s sake give it simple hood struts. A spec with the technology pack is only about 5 grand away from a base model TLX. I would argue that the TLX is less of an Accord than the Integra is a Civic.

    I had a 2017 WRX for 6 years that I bought brand new. Loved it for the longest time but then got tired of driving it in ever-worsening traffic so I got an Acura TLX a couple years old. It's comfortable but not loving it as I feel it's too fat and boring. Can anyone who owns an A-Spec manual Integra tell me if this is a fun car to drive? I realize it's down on power and only FWD like its Civic brother. I mean more on the day to day. For me it's down to that and a Lexus IS AWD.

    The looks are great but the performance is meh. This and the SI should at a minimum have 30 more hp ideally 50hp. The CVT is another miss but that’s where the market is at unfortunately. I am still not sure that this is worth premium over the Civic sport touring hatchback ack especially now it has a hybrid.
