Acura Integra Type S | Factory, Dyno, Street and Track Drive

We review and test the new 2024 Acura Integra Type S. First, we show the differences between Civic Type R on the Dyno, drive on the street, and track. Then we discuss the story behind the creation of this American-made hot hatch. Finally, we street and track drive the car to see if the changes made this car better. Others to consider are FL5 Type R, GR Corolla, Golf R, and Elantra N.

You can really feel mark’s happiness and joy on the track. It’s very jarring, I need to see him back in a ford explorer.

[dougdevine]

The relationships you guys are building with automakers are making your videos so much better, keep up the great work!!!

[tynanmuehlemeyer]

The amount of respect I have for Jonathan and Acura for assisting you guys is incredible. It seems like more manufacturers are helping and it is great to see!

[joeblacc]

To see him show love to the RS was an unexpected bonus. Seems like a good dude hope he’s able to implement more of his ideas in the future.

I like watching car reviews, but THIS is what I really want to see; the interviews with engineers and designers, the CAD drawings, the manufacturing footage, the nitty gritty technical details....I love that stuff, and this channel deliveries it in a way that few other channels even come close to. Thank you to all who contribute to these fantastic videos

[lllll]

I swear the videos this channel produces are absolutely unmatched. No other channel gives you this much detail in all aspects when it comes to car reviews. Fantastic work guys!

[prashantpandya]

Salute to Mark and Jack for the quality of the content, which is actually rare in this social space which is driven by views, we know its tough to put together and we appreciate what you guys are doing🫡

1997 Acura Integra Type R was $25k MSRP... $47k in 2023 dollars. So really not too far off of what they're asking now... also sobering look at inflation.

I thought 40 minutes was ridiculous but it was not. Very thorough 👍🏼

[ianlatham]

This is the best video that you guys have done; I'm blown away by the production values, the integrity, the level of information and the genuine enthusiasm that flows throughout the whole 40 minutes. Thank you all and how the heck are you going to improve on this standard. 🥳

[AsantePE]

Jonathan Rivers, you are a legend for coming on this show to explain to us what you are doing with the entire team. You definitely deserve all the praise for this car. You guys put in the work! ありがとう

[AcuraAddicted]

You're firing on all cylinders, absolutely amazing storytelling, guys!

[ChrisJones-yhos]

I bought a BGTS4.0 because of your reviews, and this review sold me on an ITS. I put in a deposit last week. Thanks for the substantive work. After watching this review, I test drove an ITS, and within 30 seconds, I felt the driving dynamics had a similarity to my Porsche - super taught. And the manual is amazing. Better than the Porsche. Now I just have to wait for one to come in.

[CigarChompinSarge]

I will always be impressed by these reviews. That you got Acura development involved is what elevates this channel far above ALL other car review channels. Period.

[RyokoX]

Throwing $10 so Mark can get his Arby's Beef and Cheddar! You deserve it after a video this good!

[cjack]

🙏 please keep making videos of this depth! The technical discussion with OEM perspectives adds a lot of context to their decision making process, then it all comes full circle on the test drive. Jack and Mark, you are next level. I've been watching for years and feel obliged to donate after seeing this. Great work guys! 😎👌 stay kewl

The epitome of what makes SG the best: high production value, super deep dives into all aspects of the car, OEM participation, objective review. Been watching for years and remain impressed with every video, thank you as always!

[SpcNATlON]

I wish these videos would get more views.... The amount of effort that goes into these videos is not going unnoticed. The objective and unbiased perceptions of each car you do is unmatched. You guys hit every single aspect of the car. Nobody goes into the amount of detail in an entertaining way morw than you guys. From enthusiasts to potential car buyers you guys create some awesome content!

[noobatnothing]

most detailed deep dive car reviews period, no one comes close with how technical, nerdy and objective as savagegeese. super happy to see the manufactures involved with helping produce quality deep dives into the development behind certain cars. always a pleasure to watch and enjoy. kudos to honda/acura, GM and porsche for recognizing how important these videos can be to the enthusiast.

I LOVE that he went out and bought a Focus RS for research purposes for his team
