The 2023 Acura Integra A-Spec Is An Affordable Premium Car For Enthusiasts

The #AcuraIntegra was one of the original cars that the #Acura brand launched with back in 1986. It grew a huge cult following over the years before the name got retired in 2001. Over 20 years later, the #Integra is back and its back to reclaim its crown as an affordable premium car that is based on the reliable Honda Civic platform. The new 2023 #IntegraASpec is also the only vehicle in the segment available with a 6-speed MT and at only $30,800 to start, its one of the most affordable premium cars on the market.

The new Acura Integra is so much more than just a gussied up Honda Civic Si! We had a chance to drive both cars back-to-back and the Acura has noticeable changes to the ride quality and sound of the engine. We also really dig the styling on the outside and the huge practicality advantage with this Sportback design. Expect us to talk about those differences in an upcoming review!

I remember seeing somewhere that Acura's design philosophy for the Integra was to design it as if it never got discontinued. And I can definitely see that here.

I had a '95 integra coupe/hatchback. I loved that car, drove it into the ground to 285, 000 miles. Eneded up cracking the engine block. I drove that think HARD everyday. Loved it.

For those saying "Sofyan and Rob are paid to fake not being disappointed", his criticism of the missing tech features invalidate your point.

This is a very attractive package (w/the manual) for a daily. As long as the dealers aren't trying to bend everyone over w/mark ups I'd consider it for sure.

Those of you complaining about the integra. This car is totally forgivable. Believe me I’ve seen much much worse for more money

It's been decided...Rob is the new official zero-60 driver for the channel!

It really looks like a mini TLX. Love the interior especially the OG looking shift knob. Very reminiscent of the older 8th gen Si. Will there be a Type S with R motor? 👀

Luxury automakers do make economy cars, I think people seem to forget that.

Nice to hear Rob engaging in the video..thanks guys for a great review!

Acura did a nice job on this Integra. The infotainment screen should have been built into the dash. The red interior is certainly a deal breaker for me.

Love it. Loved the Integra when I was a kid and I will be scooping this up in a year or so when my lease is up.

[Thomas-pktu]

I sat in one at the local dealership - love the interior, practicality of the hatchback, and the overall design language. But it just feels lacking in power - I'll eagerly await a Type S.

Great review! How quiet is the interior during a ride? I love a quiet ride. And can you turn off the piped in exhaust note in the radio system? Thanks much!

For a luxury name, I expected Acura to not decontent & downgrade the rear seat area. Not having rear vents & same-quality rear door panels as the front is inexcusable. Plus, fixed rear headrests?

Otherwise, it's a promising enough car to revive the Intergra name. I love the red interior.

I really like the sport sedan lineup of Acura . traded - in my small, humble '16 civic touring for a '16 MDX then traded - in again for a ¹22 MDX because of the growing family and luggages . Back then, I always though that the '16 civic has those acura touches on it but look like it didn't make the cut ... or for marketing strategies . = D Really nice . But seems so huge compared to the previous generation . Still way bigger than the rsx and ilx ( the 2 so called successors ) .

[colindanieljones]

I love everything about this car except for the engine. I have no reason to drop my '12 TSX, and I'd be looking for that type-S or a much stronger engine to make this interesting. As a whole, I still feel like Acura is a big laggard in the market and needs to jump on that EV/PHEV train ASAP. MDX's will only take you so far. If you're not going to give me power, give me efficiency.

It’s def growing can’t wait to see one in person

This is the review I was waiting for. ❤️

They need to make it a coupe/hatch it would look so schweet
