2023 Acura Integra Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Fits my needs for the price
Many of you will dislike this vehicle because of the price point. Is it an upscale civic? Well yes, which is not necessarily a bad thing for me. I had 2 civic si in the past (8th gen/10th gen) and loved both cars. I don't really do much upgrades enthusiast wise other than intakes and minor bolt ons. Integra I'm quite happy with it stock. I'm at the age where I'm not speeding 75 mph down a city road anymore and this car has plenty of ponies for my needs. Handling I've always loved honda handling but that's just my personal opinion. The car handles sporty for spirited occasional drive down the road during my commute. Has plenty of room to fit my road bike for my weekend adventures. Note that this review is from a late late 30s man with no spouse or kids so that opinion may change but I see no problem as far as room for that either. Overall I was in a position to keep riding a hybrid suv falling asleep while driving and had the chance to pay almost the same monthly for a more active fun drive. For this car I feel as 6mt is the only way to go, if not there are better options (not a cvt fan). Fits my finance, fits my pleasure in drive, fits my needs, looks good exterior and interior imo so that's that for my review.

Unfortunate Oversights
Great gas mileage and the turbo makes for rapid acceleration as needed! I like the Apple Car Play too. However, in the technology package, this car does not have Home Link buttons - to program your garage door or gate. So you either have to carry a 1980s looking remote control on the visor or download an APP you then have to try to open as you drive closer to home. Also the key fob doesn’t open the hatch, only unlocks it and there is no way to open the hatch from the cabin. So if you do any curb side pick up, you have to unlock then physically open the hatch. Irritating in the rain for sure. There are several blind spots while driving but the technology package does have sensors on the side mirrors that help. I’m disappointed in Acura on this one. I was anticipating the fun of my prior RSX with modern upgrades , but too many basics were left out.

Fun car….but!
The car is a really fun car to drive! It’s packed with a ton of tech compared to my previous sedan. The red interior is super sharp and very comfortable. I’m giving three stars due to the fact that my car is having two fairly big issues. The first one involves the fuel tank filler neck. The car is throwing a code indicating a malfunction with the fuel evaporation sensing component in the filler neck. Parts are on backorder with no definitive repair date insight. This issue causes the vehicles revmatch function to be inoperative. That in and of itself is really no big deal as I have driven manuals my whole life without revmatch and managed just fine. The second issue is a malfunctioning auto-up window function on the drivers side window. This is a very recent issue and the car is headed to the dealership soon to be addressed. These two issues on a four month old, historically uber-reliable auto vehicle line is really unacceptable.
I never wanted a Honda Civic Si
I bought an Integra A-Spec with the Tech pkg and CVT. The reviewer makes constant references to the Civic Si and focuses the extreme performance specs. I’d get thrown in jail for reckless driving if I drove like the reviewer with my foot mashed on either the brake or gas pedal. The Integra is not a racecar. But it is, however, well balanced and is a pleasure to drive. Driving it reminds me of my old Mini Cooper S Coupe except with a better ride. I bought the Integra because it is loaded with safety equipment. Also, the exterior styling is better than the Honda Civic Touring and it comes with an extra year of warranty. My favorite feature is the adaptive cruise control used in combination with the lane keeping and braking assist. When used together, the car drives through the worst freeway traffic jams by itself. Anyone that is buying this car because it has the same engine as a Honda Civic Si is missing the point.

What a fun car!
I love my 2023 Integra A-Spec manual with tech. I chose the platinum white pearl and so happy with my choice. This car gets a lot of looks and sounds pretty good. It’s powerful and responsive. The ELS 3D Surround Sound is class leading for a car in this price point. I considered BMW, Lexus, and Audi as options, but after driving the Integra and comparing prices, I’m happy with my choice. So far not one complaint! This gem does everything it should and does it well.
