    Great video as always. Just picked up my 2024 Integra A Spec Tech 6MT a couple of days ago. Absolutely loving it so far. SI’s were marked up an extra $5k, so going this route was an easy choice. Especially with the dealership selling it at MSRP.
    Very excited to make this my daily.

    Integra upgrades and differences from US Civic
    I traded my Civic Si (2020) for a 2024 6-speed Integra. Below are the differences between the Integra and the Civic Si that helped sway my decision. As you can see below, there are way more differences (at least 50) than are spoken of in any UA-cam videos. Hope this helps those of you trying figure out the differences. BTW, as a former Si driver, I have ZERO regrets. The Integra retains the fun-factor of my Si, but gives me all the premium upgrades I was missing-such a great real-world daily driver.

      I’ve owned a black 2017 Si for almost 4 years now, and i’ll admit the non-typeS integra did not get me exited. I would love to be able to drive a type R or Type S, but the price and cost of ownership would be absolutely crippling to me. I also hate that it’s not available as a 2 door.
      This A-spec integra (black on black) has grown on me. It’s essentially an Si with a hatch. Here are some pros to the A-spec vs Type S to consider.
      -lower initial cost
      -the 1.5T has plenty of power to be fun and practical at the same time. At highway speeds it accelerates faster than 95% of cars on the road.
      -cost of consumable parts and life of those parts is not even close. Tires, brake pads and rotors, fluid changes; all so much cheaper and so easy to DIY
      -300+ hp would be a blast, but I’d be such an ass behind the wheel. Probably find myself risking jail time way more than i should.
      -40+ mpg on the highway and my commute. I use less than 2 gallons of gas on a 70 mile round trip to work every day.
      -In stock form I drive my Si HARD every single day. Red line multiple times every single day. 92,000 miles and I’ve had 0 issues. It’s sooo effortless to drive and balanced so well.
      The Type-S gets me tight in the shorts for sure, but it doesn’t make sense for anyone making less than 6 figures. The 1.5T, a proper LSD, and the surgical handling these new Hondas have now makes the A-Spec an damn good choice for a daily driver.

This car is the perfect daily driver and a smart decision (cheap long term maintenance cost). I used to own an Audi A6, Mercedes C300, a CLA 250 and a VW Passat, all with very high maintenance cost. I agree it is the best driving experience in sport mode, the cargo space is ridiculously big, full of safety features and tech... (more than in my Audi A6 for example) and honestly it is a good looking car in my opinion.

    Got one last month. I had a storage reason for needing a hatchback vs the Si sedan, which is the reason I went with the Acura. I've already driven it halfway across the country for vacation. Biggest, hugest complaint: 2 measly cupholders. My previous Honda was a 2nd gen Fit, which had TEN cupholders, a little dash shelf, two glove boxes. The integra gets a lousy 2 cupholders. Very disappointing. Maybe they'll do better in the mid-cycle refresh. (in its favor, it does have a sweet shifter and a decent torque curve)

For those who say it’s not worth the money they are nuts or didn’t get the vehicle for msrp !? I payed $38,400 for mine with a few accessories even. Hands down best car I have ever owned and even put a 6 ft Christmas tree in the back last December so the storage is great and gas mileage is crazy good ! Save the manual !

      I agree with you on all 3. The A3 premium has the same hp but but 30 more lb/ft of torque. It’s also 8.9” shorter which could be a deal breaker if you want more storage. The A3 interior looks quite a bit more premium too.

    Thanks for the solid review like always. I have a 23’ si in SGP reserved and coming in next month. I am about to test drive the 23’ integra a spec this weekend.
    I had fun whipping around the si they had on the lot. It was a used 22’ with 18k miles so it was broken in. The corners were the best. Road noise was about as loud as my current 21’ wrangler and comfort wasn’t really there for me.
    So I got the 23’ si OTD price at 35k(ish) in writing. Gonna see what they say at Acura. Right now they do have a 60 month 3.9% apr finance special ($2500 down) in AZ.
    Any pros/cons from either driver’s perspective appreciated.
