Goldilocks would love the Integra, it's just right
Chad H., 01/07/2024
2024 Acura Integra 4dr Hatchback w/A-Spec and Technology Packages (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
I'm in my 50's and I've done the go fast sports cars that have harsh rides and shift it yourself transmissions. I wasn't quite ready to dig up a good used Lincoln Town Car as I still wanted something playful and fun to drive that was also comfortable and got great fuel mileage.
Ah! The Honda Civic would fit the bill...and I love the practicality of a hatchback...oh look...Honda makes … the Civic in a hatchback. Oooh...and it has a Bose stereo. Nice. Hey Mr. Honda Salesperson...what's your best price on that Civic Hatchback Sport Touring. Huh? What do you mean MSRP of $37,000? I thought they were $33,000 MSRP, and I'm expecting a deal. Huh? Protection package? Market adjustment? Window tint? Lojack? But I don't want those things? What? They can't be removed? Can you sell me one that doesn't have all those additions? Oh, you don't have any that haven't been accessorized. Gotcha.
Same day at the Acura dealer. Mr. Acura salesman, how much is this car? Oh..sticker price of $38,000. Ok. It has really nice red suede seats with adjustable lumbar. WHOA! This 16 speaker stereo blows the Bose in the Civic away. This electronically adjustable suspension is nice too. You sure you can't make me a deal? Oh? You have a CPO with 4500 miles on it...and it has an extended warranty to 100,000 miles? Really? How much? $36,000. No add ons? No "market adjustments"? Wow! Complementary loaner cars from the service department? Cool! You're tossing in complimentary all weather mats and 3 years of AcuraLink too? Thank you!
Anyone who says the Integra is just an expensive Civic hasn't shopped the two cars. I have multiple Honda dealers in my area and ALL of them were marking up the Civic Hatchback almost to what an Integra costs. Having driven both, I can tell you the Integra is a much nicer car and the dealer experience is light years better.
I really love my Integra. It's exactly what I wanted. Really fun to drive, rides nice...but not too nice. Still very engaging to drive. The CVT doesn't suck. Yes, I said it. I actually like it. No hunting for gears or constant shifting. Always seems to be giving me what I want when I want it. If you want "gears" it will emulate a 7 speed transmission with the paddles. And it "shifts" pretty quickly. It's fun to hustle it down a twisty back road.
No...it's not "fast". It's got adequate power. Doesn't feel slow. Little 1.5L turbo is a torquey engine. It never struggles and you can hit triple digits faster than you think. It's not winning any races, but that's not what it's designed for...want that? Get the Type S. Oh...and I'm getting about 34mpg in mixed driving and can get nearly 40mpg on interstate trips at 70mph.
The seats are very comfy. There is plenty of room. The hatchback is wonderful even if the lift over is a little higher than it should be...I don't really mind it as I'm tall.
If you're looking at a high spec Civic. Stop by a few Honda dealers and try to work a deal...then go see your local Acura dealer (if you have one) and you will have a completely different experience.
***UPDATE 7/8/24***
7 months into ownership and about 10,000 miles and the car is still a joy to own. I did have one issue. The steering rack needed to be replaced as it developed a notchy/sticky feeling. It's a known issue and my dealer got me squared away quickly. No other issues. Car is getting excellent fuel mileage. If I drive it easy, I can see up to 41mpg. Mixed driving without hypermiling, I'm getting about 35mpg. That's excellent!
