The base model Integra is actually very well equipped for most people. A local dealer will sell me one for MSRP.

The Honda cvt is actually a lot better than people give it credit for. I wish for a dct but the added fuel mileage of the cvt is a huge plus. Only issue is it’s a bit of a tough sell when the civic hatchback with cvt is as good as it is. Really would’ve liked to see Acura use their 4ws in these fwd integras

Have seen a bunch of new owners reporting that the gps screen frequently freezes and is only fixed by restarting the engine, that is a HUGE problem. These large info screens have little benefit in the first place, now they don’t even function. I wish just one manufacturer would produce a model where the infotainment system was optional and could be removed. These screens do nothing but add cost and distraction.

Acura could have used the 8DCT from previous gen ILX/TLX with the 1.5T. It would of been nice if Acura had the option of a de-tuned version of the 2.0T+10AT found in the Accord/RDX at around 225-250 hp. Then Acura could add sh-awd with the added power.

Bought one a couple weeks ago and realized it was my first automatic car I've ever bought of 7. So far so good, looks nice, drives well

It’s kind of funny the automatic versus manual discussion is still alive and well. I was reading about the first automatic (hydramatic) transmission, developed in the 1930s as automakers wanted an option for driving that eliminated the need to shift gears. Guess the fact that we still have both in 2022 is proof people still want options.

Thank you for watching and drop a comment 👇 with a 👍

Thanks for the exhaust thing. I really needed to laugh today.
I love the way this car looks. I almost pulled the trigger on one. Especially the A.S w/ tech. But the Mrs was not going to have the MT. So it didn't make sense to spend that kind of $ for the CVT and no LSD. When comparing to the Civic ST to the base and A.S I felt I was loosing 20hp but gaining all the tech. For quite a bit less money. But dam is nice looking.

The CVT is so underwhelming. So glad I got mine in a 6 speed

[Bowser-bunny]

Really like the integra but for the acceleration performance. I think it’s just a touch too slow. New Prius is as fast in fwd and faster in AWD. I just can’t make peace w that.

[doctorrobert]

As usual great review with the pros and cons discussed. Thank You!

I want to get the manual but my wife wants the automatic. If i suck it up and get the auto will i regret it?

[stevenbae]

driving the 2025. i agree i wish there was leather or fake leather for front seats but the point of suede is to keep the driver in his position and not slide around in his seat so i kinda get the decision

[cathleanjohnson]

At that price no head up display, what up with that?

[vzkmqz]

The acceleration hurts my ears. No on the CVT.

[jeffrey]

How do you recommend between this and a top trim civic hatchback? Love your video ~

[OckdaGod]

Why are you paying more money for it to be slower than the SI 😒😒. I recently bought this car & it’s cool but I still need more speed. Just feels like working twice as hard to barely keep up with other cars.

[adventsociety]

I wish they made a TLX with a hatch and awd

[marufio]

The driver is always quiet on that first drive to 60 its like crickets
