The 2024 Acura Integra Type S & 2023 Honda Civic Type R Is A Hot Hatch Family Feud

The #HondaCivicTypeR has been the king of hot hatches since it was introduced to America back in 2017. For 2024, it would seem like the #AcuraIntegraTypeS is looking to steal the crown from the #TypeR by borrowing all the goodies from the Civic for the first-ever #IntegraTypeS. Today, we have both the #TypeS and #CivicTypeR to see which one of these two #HotHatches from #Honda is actually the better buy.

Happy Weds guys! We want thank Bern from @BernonCars for joining us for this comparison test! He was driving the Type R during the same week that we had the Type S so the timing just worked out perfectly! We also wanted to apologize for some wind noise, we forgot to bring a wind blocker for Bern’s mic but our editor, Rob did his best to minimize it. Would you guys pick the Type R or Type S? Let us know below!

Mann what a fun day!! Both of these are absolute monsters, Thank you for having me on the channel!!

I’ll choose the Integra. Based on the design and more availability and lastly the exhaust sound 🔥

The FL5 is simple and has a classic look that will stand the test of times. The integra has this modern-angular look that every car company seems to be doing. I'll stick with the classier Type R.

The video I didn’t think I needed until it popped up.

The Integra looks great in that blue color.

Type R for me but I wouldn't mind the Type S

“We’ll do it live!” That reference never gets old.

Hey Redline, shout out to you guys for being the first to do this comparison on video. It was only a matter of time...as a big Honda/Acura fan, I am hoping a few others will follow suit!

[livestronger]

Best vid I've watched so far on this channel! Bern is so knowledgeable about cars as well and you guys' chemistry while doing the videos is great.

[LinoTV]

Great combo with Bern. It seems as if you 2 had worked together for a long time. More vida together

I just came across this particular episode of Redline Reviews. I like the vibe that you and Bern impart to the review. WRT the two cars, both are beautiful and very well turned out. That Honda and Acura sought to differentiate their products was clear--the Acura folks really tried to make their car distinct--and it worked. But, then again, the Type R has loads of "distinct", too. 

One minor gripe: a crucial part of the "pops and burble" dynamic in the Acura come from a valve that shifts the exhaust flow from the two outboard exhaust tips to the centre tip (and accompanying muffler).

If I had a Jay Leno-style garage space (and the savings account to match), I'd have one of each! Thanks for this.

I'm extremely thankful the ITS doesn't have a sunroof.

Another great review/collaboration! I love both vehicles but would love the keys for the Type R.

[tevtroop]

The type are makes a statement… it’s an amazing car with a strong and dedicated following. Nice comparison.

[apolloandratti]

Bern is a natural! Keep bringing him on for collaborations.

[neuronbob]

Great video, and thanks for the introduction to BernonCars, I hadn't heard of him before. Subbed to him! (Longtime Redline Reviews sub 👍🏽)

[sukispop]

Really informative and entertaining hot hatch family feud review, Sofyan! You and Bern have such good chemistry and do a great tag team job of comparing these two hot hatchbacks. Easily one of the most fun reviews to come out of Redline. Thanks!

The Integra looks great in that blue color.
