Should You Buy The 2024 Acura Integra Type S? Thorough Review By A Mechanic

Great review!! Thanks

No v6camry is going past this js

If you search and are willing to travel you can get this exact car in a 2018/ 2019 with a handful of 2020 model year cars made through December of 2019 Honda Accord with the 6 Manual transmission in the 2.0L turbo engine. Between 16 and 24k

As an ex Integra (DA5) and RSX (DC5) owner I must say this car is not for the youngsters. He's correct in saying it's for the grownups. This car isn't cheap and is very expensive for a 4 door sedan. I must say I'd have to pass over on this car especially since it's not available in a 2 door model. It's really for the generation of owners who have grown up, got married, and have kids. I think the youngsters are better off getting a DC2/DC5 or a gen 1 if they can find it. Those are the better, cheaper models for the youngsters.

Given the price Golf R is a better car. If it were less it would sell like crazy.

I’d like this car, will it 200,000 +? What modifications would you make? Is it worth it?

Can you do a review on the TLX Type S?

I can confirm that brake hold is fantastic for new drivers...all integra and civic's have it in manual mode and new drivers can set it at a stoplight, engade only the clutch and gas, and press the button when they feel the motor and transmission engage. perfect trainer button

My old rsx type S was stolen within months of me owning it 😂

I’m too traumatized to go back

They should offer this with 10 speed auto from accord so people with disabilities like myself could enjoy it

Kinda torn between this and the Lexus IS350 F sport. Price wise they are similar but driving dynamics are different

All people saying they love this wannabe INTEGRA dont know anything about what a Real ACURA INTEGRA WAS what a shame that acura and honda did with all its new ,si type R integra- what a shame

Lol... Over $50k, underwhelming power, poor fuel economy, and front wheel drive. No Thanks...

They need to make a wagon. I’d drive that. A performance wagon

Yoooo I was dying to see you review this.

Picked up a used(5,000 miles) ‘24 Integra A Spec the other day at $28K. Absolutely love this car

Tune makes it a MONSTER. I need one now.

I would enjoy reading your reviews if they were no longer that 15 minutes long.

Yeah, I don’t care where this gentleman is at if he sold cars, I will drive from Texas to Maine to buy a car from him straight up

Great car review.!
Love the detail in showing the details in the engine bay and suspension, very necessary for the people like me that like fixing your own car.

This Acura type S is not meant for the average late teen or young adult. It was build for guy who once owned this in the mid 90s and who happen to settled down and kids are either in colllege with a few dollars to remake their younger days on the road. I will be glad to start putting up some money aside for the next couples of uears years so I can get this blue type S and go back to memory lane with my girl/wife. So glad Acura bough this back for guys in the 50s.

Good luck removing those rusty philips head bolts from the metal shroud. Why o why are these not simple 10 mil bolts???

Why can’t they make automatic for this model as well, not everyone like to drive manual.

Yeah cuz you know you can't just remove an RSX badge and put an Integra badge on a car or anything. Come on guys it's a gimmick, it's just like when Dodge called the next generation of neon the dart, it's a Dodge neon 100% they just put a different name badge on it. If I ever had one I'd put a neon badge on it straight up

It’s not a small cute transmission” 😂.

A mechanic’s point of view is priceless when it comes to how manufacturers design their vehicles and how future owners know what to expect.
Especially drivers like me who couldn’t even do a simple oil change 😂.

As much as I think this car is cool and I'm happy to see the Integra return, my Tesla has better performance, no belts, oil pans, turbos, and fewer moving parts. I don't think I could go back.

FWD 4-banger for 50k? pass.

Beautiful car. Kudos to the design team.

I abhor those crackles/burbles. They sound like a wet fart. Would definitely be programming that out, if possible. Otherwise this is off the list for that one thing.

Thank u Mr [MD] please make a review about tlx type s 🙏

I have money down for a spring delivery in 2025! I'm in Canada and we can't place orders until January for the Integra Type S (delivery by March or April). The dealer said we're about four to six months behind the States to receive this car specifically.
Still, I'm very much looking forward to making this my daily drive!!

Could you review the 24 or 25 Acura TLX Type S

If you drive Kia or Hyundai this is the car for you $54000 plus tax and financing $65000 just for Acura your are crazy

I wish you were my mechanic.

how's diy maintenance on this? i'm coming from a 2008 TL-S 6MT

Force induced turd box.....they will be in the shop for a new turbo before 100K miles. Pass.

Could you make comparison between VW Golf GTI 2.0 turbo and Acura Integra Type S? Thanks

You might be the most articulate mechanic I've ever heard speak.

Dude I want this car so bad. I miss my Rsx type s so much and have been seriously thinking about getting this but man the dealer mark ups ruin everything for me. 😅

Can you comment on what's involved in getting to and changing the oil filter?

The regular integra was good, but outdated as of 2024. Gets poor gas mileage, low power, missing features like seat ventilation, no rear vents. No hybrid option(usually quieter)

No wonder Honda is in F1 👌👌

Very nice car, I will buy it on 2029.

Actual hood vent like an actual Mitsubishi Evolution from 22 years ago. Only thing this car needs is a rear diff and aluminum rear subframe/ suspension to be the EVO11+. Integra S is dyno'ing 20whp/30wtq more than CTR w better tuning, no front downpipe resonator. US Integra engine program got more love than the Japanese Civic that only offers a 'too stiff' bouncy track setting w same shocks. ONLY thing ITR is lacking is real Recaros up front (and some RWD)

Very interested if they make a Type R version in a few years.

I’ll buy ten years from now if gas prices are not crazy.

I rather get m2

Quick answer: No.
Why waste money on the Acura when you could get the CTR?
If you trying to save money and go faster, get a DCT Elantra N.

I would get a GTI or a GLI and save myself $15K.

can you say more about what honda does that makes their DI not as bad as VW/Audi’s disaster of a design? are they still dumping pcv fumes into intake?
