The car is perfect for me. I LOVE a stick ! I drive either alone or with 1 other person so I could care less about the back seat or vents and generally just fold the 2nd row down and keep it there permanently anyway. Only downside for me is the cabin insulation and window quality. They just wanted to keep the price and weight down by being cheapskates on insulation. The car isn’t perfect but no car is. Anything under $40, 000 will have issues.

Hondata rates the stock Integra 6MT as generating 234 horsepower but Honda marketing rounds down to an even 200 LOL. Beyond that, I'm a little surprised by how many credible reviewers and other haters continue to make such a big stink about the Integra being a "rebadged Civic Si." Are ya'll really that ignorant and oblivious to the decades' old auto industry custom of improving upon existing models using a counterpart luxury line? They've done it using the same frames, built from the same platform, and typically shared the same engine. Look at the 1960s Mustang versus the Mercury Cougar, or for that matter the 1980s Thunderbird versus the Mercury Cougar (5-liter EFT V8). Look at GMs Monte Carlo, Cutlass Supreme, and Buick Regal over the years (they shared the same engine through the 80s with the 305 V8). Look at Toyota and Lexus. All the talk about how the Integra is a rebadged Civic. Yeah no kidding! You don't say. That's the point. Auto makers have manufactured luxury counterpart cars using the same platform and based on the same frame literally for over a hundred years since the Plymouth, Buick, Cadillac brands. It's time to move on from the "rebadged Civic" talk because it makes everyone seem really dumb.

I'm not seeing how the rev hang slows the acceleration. It certainly is annoying and makes the car not smooth, but how does that slow 0-60? big reason 0-60 is so slow is having to make that 2-3 shift.

[Proparkourgamer]

Not as good as I thought it would be. The rev hang is upsetting for me, it's not 'performance' as Acura says...

[yesman]

Theoretically, there's a Honda Civic but I've never seen any at my local Honda dealership.

[ViaticalTree]

It wasn’t Honda Integra before. It was always an Acura.

[donjohnson]

I think the Jetta GLI might be the better manual transmission sport sedan given the price gap between the two

[NeokingTech]

This is so incredibly disappointing. Above all the serious issues discussed, what I found most absurd was no air ventilation to the rear seats. A clear sign that Acura/Honda put little to no thought in making this a premium car.

[RileyFl]

I'll just stick with my Accord 1.5T Sport. They need more power in order for me to purchase this. Overall it's still a beautiful car. Come on Honda/Acura I know you guys can do

[sokratzmmf]

The Integra is now available at a significant discount so the value argument now favors it more.

[alengreen]

Leather seats without cooling, no heated seats in the rear, no ventilation in the second row, no ambient lights, no DCT or a normal 8 or 9 speed Autom. transmission, only a 9 inch display from the Civic, no fully autom. windows in the second row for a ´´premium`` brand thats ridiculous.

[Galds]

Can u please drive a Ferrari 458 Speciale. Btw love ur video’s! Keep up the great job!

[Ronny]

I’m still effy about this car if I should upgrade, I’m rocking a civic 2020 sport 2L, the new integra is beautiful in my eyes, the only downside is that it doesn’t have a spare tire, no rear window wiper, and no rear vents. I live in nj and I guess the fwd is “ ok “ for me

[kdrei]

For a car to cost this much with 200hp when it’s the exact same thing as another car for about $9k-$11k less, and the fact that you can get so many other better cars for the money, makes this the worst new car for me

[Maxfli]

They should’ve put sh-AWD in this. Missed opportunity to separate it from the civic si

[jstragland]

There’s certain features that at least a premium offering should have. A Volkswagen Jetta or Hyundai Elantra offers more features and they are in a class below this one. Not impressed.

[danielmateo]

hola soy español se que no me entienden

[JAHistheONE]

Would like this as my first car next year.

[Saturdayz_In_The_Fall]

Go back to making silent reviews. Your opinions were pissing me off. 😂

[wackit]

$39, 000 for a promised performance name like an Acura A-SPEC that doesn’t deliver? No thanks. Acura couldn’t have found another 25 horsepower to compensate for the heavier car? There are better choices for this price. I know, I know, it’s Sacrilege to speak poorly of HONDA products🤫
