Type S Comparison: TLX vs Integra

By FAR the most asked question I’ve had is, how does the Integra Type S compared to the TLX Type S. As I share in the video; to me, this is not a fair comparison, these are two different vehicles with two different purposes, and they fill completely different niches. With that said, I’ve tried to answer a few of the most common differences between the two platforms and the overall MSRP.

This was the video we all wanted but didnt know we needed.

The TLX does alot to tick all the right boxes for a family man whose wife might not want him to get a manual for the family car, but still have power and looks to die for.

While the Integra has both the cult folllwing, the looks to back it up, the fun factor, and the four seats to make it the perfect combo for any enthusiast with a family, who'd be excited to learn about the forgotten art of driving manual.

Great comparison explanation. The integra priced at 52k and up is insane.

[baldygrey]

TLX for sure, but if you asked me 5 years ago it'd be Integra. Still, that V6 is getting rarer and rarer to find in a car.

Nice review. Still glad I have my ‘21 TLX Type S in Tiger Eye Pearl!

[ShaolinMonk]

I wish the TLX had an option for manual transmission

[wolfdna]

TLX is the most beautiful car Honda has ever made. 100% masculinity

[lafaders]

Your PMC is so clean. That blue with orchid interior is super fresh. I have a 23 tlx type s in white pearl. Love it

[Magicformula]

Excellent... One of the best automotive channel on YouTube. Good job with the contrasting explanation.

Message to Acura!!

PAY THUS MAN.!!! He sold your cars better than any Acura salesman. Good job 💯

Being an owner of the 2021 TLX Type S for two years now. I’ll still take the TLX. Love the sound and interior and design on the outside much better than the Integra. Not to mention SH-AWD

[icculus]

Considering everything you get with the TLX, and the ITS is basically an upgraded CTR, the Integra can be considered overpriced while the TLX is fair. That said, the Integra is obviously more enthusiast focused. The question is, how much is one willing to pay to have fun? The TLX is more of a performance cruiser.

I prefer the front end on the integra. Just wish the side profile it didn't look so much like a civic

[marvingrinage]

You were very thorough going 1 and then the other order. You took your time. You did not show impartial favoritism in my opinion. You pointed out the diffrences well between the two.
I think you did a extremely good job.
Well done!😊

Loving that gold color on the Integra!

Integra type s is nice but tlx type s is nicer in my mind.

[FastRedPonyCar]

Honda goofed by not offering an automatic transmission in the Teg. Not all of us who want a comfortable mid size semi-luxury sports sedan want to be riding the clutch in city traffic.

I think an automatic transmission and SH AWD in the Integra would be an ideal setup but that would eat up the TLX buyers so, for now, in that $50k price bracket, you're not going to be looking at the Integra but rather the Audi S4/S5, BMW M240i or a used M2, Genesis G70, maybe a Kia Stinger or possibly save a few bucks and go with a Golf R but those are a noticeable step down in overall interior quality/fit/finish/materials than the BMW/Audi.

It's a tough spot for Acura. FWD and manual transmission makes sense for the CTR but the buyer going to the Acura dealership, I feel, is not quite the same buyer.

[EpicNinjaRides]

You forgot the fact that the Integra has WAY more rear leg room than the TLX

[brentjs]

Great video and comparisons. It's almost a toss up since they are both great cars, but I would probably give the nod to the TLX by a slight margin.

[alburaq]

Integra looks far more spacious in the back seat. How did Honda manage to cramp the leg room in TLX despite being bigger than Integra. What a waste of space.

[Athandatu]

I love the color on that integra. Brings me back to 90’s Acura Legend.
Also, I’m so surprised the legroom in the back is larger in the integra than the TLX!

[emikomina]

both are sharp looking cars thats for sure
