The Integra Type S will use the same turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 as the Civic Type R, with a 6-speed manual as the only transmission and a standard limited-slip differential. Acura says the Type S will have “at least 300 horsepower,”
It was a rep that said it during an interview. The platform technically can support it as its shared with the CRV, which has AWD, but Acura's rep, I think it was the guy in charge of integra, said that there wouldn't be AWD.
The only mechanical/performance changes I expect from the Type-r to the S are:
Optional(or standard) auto
Spring rate/Bars = Make it a bit more of a comfortable ride and less of a track focused ride
ECU tune: Focus a bit more on daily drivability, maybe tweak for MPG a little more
I second the PS4S, and the 5S will be out soon. Most of my daily commute is also on the highway.
I drive them on my Mustang and love them, on my second set now. I get 20-25k out of them and I drive like a TOTAL ass including some burn outs, so a normal person could probably get closer to 30K...
THey may be considering the idea of having a limited release there depending on market interest.
If I can slip into a nicely spec'd white Type-S for under 45k I likely will be.
It's not just miles. It's the age of the oil (time since last reset), how you drive, and how many miles you drive.
There is more to point life than just miles driven. If that was that case you'd just take 10k miles and subtract 15% to know that 85%=8,500 miles the Minder comes on. But as I...
I'm just thinking its $1,500 more as it will have more comforts and even if they soften the suspension it wont be a HUGE change, and if they use the adaptive on the S that will easily balance out the difference in cost.
Honestly best thing for him to do is go back out and drive. Every accident I've had has been in rain/snow and other people hitting me. It's resulted in 2 totaled cars and makes me TERRIFIED to drive in heavy rains. And this is over 25 years of driving. The only way I'm KIND of getting over it is...
3 years? Based on what? 120K is almost nothing for a modern drivetrain. They easily last 300-500K or MUCH more if they are maintained.
Last through college? That Integra should last EASILY 10+years long as they are maintaining it. There is a good reason you still see so many 20+year old Hondas...
First, glad your kids okay.
Second, DAMN, my first car was $2,000 and I bought it from my grandma. I wasn't allowed to have a car till I could prove I could afford one. I didn't have a 20K+ car till I had a full-time job out of college.
You do know that all manual cars since like the late 80's have an ECU and you can still pop the clutch on all of them to start it right? Soon as the engine gets going the alternator delivers power.
As a person that grew up with 80's and 90's cars, NOT having cabin noise drives me nuts. I utterly hate driving in a silent cabin when I can't hear the road and things going on around me. Makes me claustrophobic.
If thats the same thing as Hill Assist I have it off on my Mustang. It actually made me stall more than help me in anyway as I kept thinking I was giving enough gas when really I wasn't.
