Grown-Up Si
I owned a 2018 Honda Civic Si and I loved it. I was tired of taking it into the office everyday until I picked up this brand new 2023 Acura Integra with the manual and man do I love it. You'll be sure to wow people with the Acura badge and still have reliability and fuel efficiency as I'm averaging 35. If you're looking for an upgrade from the Civic or just want little bit of luxury with the perks of reliability and fuel economy, this is the car for you.

Get the A-Spec with Tech if you want a 5-star car.
For reference, I've owned at least 6 Hondas prior to this and traded in a 2019 Civic EX Hatch. I'll start with the good. The car is really fun to drive to drive and handles like a little sports car, despite the CVT transmission. As much as I would have really loved a 6spd, the CVT really isn't that bad and you can even pretend its a Ferrari with the paddle shifters. It gets good gas mileage (not as good as the old Civic), and rarely dips below 30mpg (mostly city) during the summer. Also great is the cockpit, dash, seats, and one of the best steering wheels I have ever had the pleasure of using. While I only have 20,000 miles on it so far, I suspect the reliability will be as one would expect from a Honda product. Also, this is a very sexy car. Especially in Apex Blue. The driver assist features are...good..maybe great but I really don't use them, unless I'm on the interstate for hours. Of course the hatchback is great. Now what's keeping this from being a 5-star review. Please don't skimp and missout on the A-Spec with the tech package, unless you truly do not care about the features. I do and have major FOMO. The sound system is serviceable, but honestly my old Civic sounded better. And the screen in the non-tech, it is lackluster and missing features like a trip computer (again the Civic had that). Again, if you get the tech package you can experience the best sound system in this segment and a much better display. No remote start (Civic EX had it, not sure if Tech does) and no heated steering wheel (extra option in both trims I believe). Another knock is the lack of ventilation in the rear, something top-trim Civics have. Now, why would I dock the score for something I did not purchase? Well, for one the interior has about two or three different annoying rattles in the dash and doors that I cannot trace down in this pseudo 'luxury' car. Made in USA and not Japan like Hondas of past. Another small gripe is the engine and exhaust is kinda loud. You don't really notice it until your at a stop light and the engine auto-off shuts off and the cabin goes nearly silent. Additionally, one this cars praises is also a negative. The sporty ride is very harsh. Every. Control. Joint. In the road. You feel them. I cannot say if the adaptive suspension in the Tech Package would make this better, but I'm sure it's a similar experience in the Civic SI. We opt to drive our 2016 Accord Sport on longer trips. Last but not a biggie, the glove box and center console are small, and the door nooks and nook under the radio/hvac controls is rather small. Our old Civic had a very good layout with plenty of places for things. To end, I do like, maybe love this car but it is not without faults. I don't agree with some that say "its just a Honda Civic". I disagree as I have driven the current gen and the differences are major. If you want just a econo box commuter, then maybe look at at Civic Sport Touring as the value is better. Those weren't available when I was shopping, not even to test drive. But the sporty fun with 20ish more horsepower might put a grin on your face. Oh, but get the top trim.

It’s alright if you don’t over pay
It stings me that I had to pay for dealer add ons that I wasn’t interested in. The car drives well and the manual transmission keeps it engaging. I am not a big fan of the build quality. The floor of the trunk feels weak and might get easily damaged. So despite having a large cargo space, the trunk may not be suited for heavy stuff. There are no cooled seats, which is needed for suede seats. There are no rear vents or rear heated seats. The steering wheel controls don’t play and pause music but you can skip between various audio sources.

Easy on the eyes, practical, economic, and fun
I've leased and owned a variety of Honda and Acura vehicles over 25 years (1996 Accord, 1998 Accord, 2004 TL, 2007 Accord Coupe, 2009 RDX, 2012 TSX, 2012 MDX, 2015 Pilot, 2019 Odyssey, 2022 Odyssey, and now 2023 Integra). This is my first M/T car (part of my mid-life crisis), so learning to drive a manual has been very easy with a Honda gear box and clutch. If you are looking for an affordable "luxury" sedan (under $40K), you can't go wrong with with the new Integra. It's attractive, fits 5 (4 very comfortably), has a great hatch trunk, abundance of technology (including a heads up display), great infotainment & sound system, offers a M/T, good fuel economy, allows to fill 87, fun to drive, great warranty and reliability, and service included for 2 years/24K miles. I've put just over 300 miles on it in the first couple of weeks and really enjoy it as my daily driver, while my SQ5 is sitting by, watching with jealousy. It's not fast by any means (0-60 in about 7.1 sec), but is engaging and fun with a manual transmission. The only two complaints I have is that it is missing the HomeLink buttons, so I am forced to use a remote for my non-smart gate/garage doors and the back seats don't have AC ducts (although it's not bad back there due to small size of car and good AC circulation from the front). If Acura brings the Type S version with more power, manual transmission, HomeLink, rear AC, and sportier tires it will be a top seller in the small sport/luxury space, but at what price point? It's going to get awfully close to $50K, and likely during a correction/recessionary period. Thank you Acura for brining the Integra back, now listen to the feedback and make a few minor tweaks to keep the gas powered vehicle community excited and engaged.

Great car for great value!! Not a civic at all IMO
I never liked Honda I’ve always been a Toyota fan. My family has a1990 Acura Integra growing up so I have always had fondness for Acura. This is certainly a luxury car that feels like it and is also fun to drive. Has a lot of pep and is quite zippy in sport mode. I own the 6-speed manual, I’ve never owned an automatic car, so when I discovered the Integra was being offered in manual I jumped on it! I own an Infiniti g37 as well and tbh I don’t really notice the difference in them so much in terms of sporty fun to drive cars. Handling is slightly different, but both are fast cars. I also don’t need to track or race my car, I just need to commute and travel with it. I highly recommend this car to anyone!!
