  • I remember testing Type S models from the past: CL, TL and RSX come to mind not to mention this car’s archetype the Integra Type-R. But for many years in between Acura mostly downplayed its racier spirit but that has changed with the reintroduction of Type S, available on TLX, MDX, ZDX and perhaps most appropriately, this Integra. A larger, more powerful engine, an active exhaust system, wider, NSX-inspired wheels wrapped in Michelin Z-speed rated rubber, specific downforce-inducing aero, a suspension tuned for crisper handling and fitted with adaptive dampers for greater dynamics, Brembo binders on the front, more communicative steering and a power up Sport+ drive mode constitute the Type S upgrades priced at $20,000 over a garden variety Integra.
    MSRP as-tested: $53,595

    With so many cars going overboard with screens and unnecessary complications, glad a car like this is still available today with the manual. I kept my 2003 3.2 CL Type S 6-spd manual for 12 years. Still drove as new after 175,000 miles. As with some others, get'em while you can. Great review, Steve, beautifully captured, too!

      Nothing I care about. If performance matters most, then this is your car. If amenities matter most, then the A-Spec with Technology is the better choice.

    If I had this Integra Type S, I would worry about torque steer. Because of this torque steer, I wish Acura would offer SH-AWD only in the Type S. However, Honda/ Acura fanboys will reject this idea.

    • @MetalsForBrunch
      @MetalsForBrunch Před 3 měsíci +4

      The AwD will add more weight and would completely change the Integra concept. For the old school Honda fan it's they would stay true to the fwd only for this model which makes it an Integra. If you want AWD stick with the Acura tlx type S AWD.

    • @Marbind
      @Marbind Před 3 měsíci +5

      Did you know Honda engineered the front suspension in such a way that torque steer is barely noticeable?
      That is one of the reason is considered a great car among reviewers.
      As others said, adding AWD will make it heavier and will cut down drastically the agility that the car currently has. The car outperforms many AWD competitors around the track.

    • @TheBreakfastLover

      Fortunately the LSD is so good that you won't notice any torque-steer unless you're driving like Vin Diesel

      @Marbind Před 3 měsíci +5

      Don't understand the whole deal of a sunroof. Is just a hassle.
      Is a failure point, if the glass cracks you will be in deep trouble.
      If you open it wind noise will take over the cabin. Add a winddeflector and get ready for scratch marks in the paint.
      Can't open it if the roof is wet.
      Acura has one mission. Bring the full formula of the CTR and make it a bit more street friendly.
      A sunroof will ruin the formula by raising the center of gravity with the added weight in the roof.
