Hey All,
I know several have traded in their '23 Integras on the new Type S, and others, like me, who are considering doing so. I've seen this mentioned in a couple other threads, but thought maybe a dedicated string might be better.
Feel free to share any trade in values you have received...
We had a 2016 ES350 and every time I got a loaner new generation ES (which was too frequent for a car with supposedly great reliability), it seemed a noticeable downgrade. The steering was tighter, but everything else seemed cheaper and less premium.
I went from that ES350 to my A Spec 6MT...
Curious to hear your comparison of exhaust note at idle, steering and clutch weight versus the A Spec. Love my A Spec but would like a louder note and heavier steering.
Got to agree with Optronix on seeking diversity if going the two car route. For years my wife and I both had compact luxury sport sedans (i.e. TSXs, 3 Series, Saabs and Volvos), and the only way to really decide which we used for a given purpose was where they were parked at our house. Now she...
Quick related question. Does the full $37,000 qualify for tax savings, or only the difference between that and the payout in your state? If it is in fact the former, definitely do the trade.
We have 2 A Spec Techs in the family, a CVT and 6MT. If you are even thinking about it, make sure you go for the stick. It is that much more fun. Additionally, it is a very easy manual on which to learn, and does include hill start assist. I like the rev matching, but maybe that's because I...
I have a 6MT and my son has the A Spec Tech CVT. While both great, the fun to drive delta is way more than $5,000 to me.
While we didn't have any snow this season in Philadelphia, my 6MT definitely grips in corners better. Also, I believe the 6MT will hold greater resale value. Go for the...
I agree these the Golf R is the closest to the Type S in practice. And the VW also seems to be a better deal, although the Honda transmission and steering feel are probably more my speed. I wish the Integra had the feature set and pricing of the Golf R.
Anyone getting lots of dirt/debris of the scooped sections on the side of your Integra?
Everytime I wash it this section requires extra work. I've never experienced this with another car. Our Macan has side blades which are another issue, but don't seem to get as dirty.
Macanforum is another good website. BTW, we LOVE our 2018 Macan S. If you don't need the space, I'd highly recommend. The X3 M40 is the only thing even close in terms of overall package.
Honestly, I was ambivalent about losing the sunroof from my 6MT. With this price, I'm out.
I'll either go for a 6MT Supra/Z, M3 or keep my current Integra which I love.
The pricing on the Type S makes the Golf R seem like a bargain - I just don't like the styling or VW.
Got it, thanks for the additional background. When I got my regular Integra 6MT last summer, Elite and Turnersville were the ones in our area not doing markups. You might want to check with Turnersville also if you are looking for a reasonable Type S.
