Nothing on the driver's seat, but at 13,000mi and with fairly infrequent passenger seat use the passenger seat has some weird wrinkles going on just on the inside bolster.
Leave the car unlocked...
But if that's not an option, in general Ive found that as long as you lock the car with an internal button it will not arm the alarm. I.e. the control panel on the driver's door. I will always unlock with the key fob to ensure before opening a door.
If you want the engine to last I would not tune it. The factory tune has way more thorough testing performed in its development than anything aftermarket ever will.
Change the oil at 50% of the recommended interval and use a good quality oil and filter. I do run the car hard a few times a...
I ran a turbocharged direct-injected VW 2.0l to 150k and it's still going strong. I expect the Honda to double the VWs longevity with far less maintenance cost, but we shall see. I think the tech in these cars will be way more problematic in the long run than the engines; but for now I assume...
I actually had been thinking it was the hatch. Which was always confusing because it's electronic, but hearing that it's the fuel door makes much more sense. It is definitely very loud for what it is, but I don't think it's anything to be concerned about for now.
TN - Harper Acura in Knoxville (and most of the other Harper network dealers). Always a great experience with them, they were transparent throughout and though they did require ~$300 in accessories I did not request they worked out a way to get me more than that back in discounts using Acura...
For those sitting on the edge of their seat wondering how well a hard shell guitar case fits in the Integra hatch:
The answer is for not without the seats folded down for the Bigger ones?
Of note - the larger black case did touch the cloth cargo cover, but not by much so it was fine to leave...
We have a 2015 Mazda 3 in the family, which I have been very impressed with for the most part. I do feel that even with the larger displacement the Mazda lacks in low end punch, and that's where the turbo 1.5 really does feel like a lot more engine. If Mazda offered a stick with the 2.5T engine...
You can adjust the volume of the turn signal click in the driver specific settings menu.
I have mine set to minimum on my primary key, where as the secondary key my parents use when I let them borrow the car has them set to maximum volume, because they tend to complain that the turn signals are...
My first AutoXish driving event in the Integra. Made it out to one of Caffeine & Octane's "downforce battles". Short summary: car did great. Actually mind blowingly good for stock everything.
The full story: Normally would take my Camaro to this kind of thing, but the course looked pretty tight...
I find the system to work quite well for my circumstances. There is one house in my neighborhood with 2 porch lights that's on the outside of a turn that fools it, and it seems to have a dislike of Ford F150 Raptors, but other than that the system works great. Anytime I see one of those...
The system will only engage the brakes when it is sure a collision is imminent. They added some redundancy between the sensors as well as reducing the responsiveness from earlier systems. Some of the earlier Honda systems went off earlier and people reported it being a safety hazard because the...
The sensors can be disabled both through the menu inside of the speedometer on the gauge cluster, as well as through the vehicle settings. I had some slush buildup that required disabling them a few weeks back.

If link doesn't work, here's the excerpt from the manual:
Unleaded premium gasoline, pump octane number 91 or higher
Use of a lower octane gasoline can cause occasional metallic knocking noise in...
Manuals are always going to have a break in acceleration due to the shift that modern automatics have essentially eliminated, not to mention EVs. It's especially noticeable during the 1>2 shift, as many others here have pointed out. The only way I can think of that the Integra makes this worse...
Easy. Save the manuals?
This Integra is by far the easiest manual I've ever driven, and I've driven a lot. The hill start assist is seamless, and it even has additionally brake hold which when activated will hold the brake until you start moving.
Mine was technically $500 under MSRP when I purchased back in July, but that was just with the college grad discount. MSRP is a solid deal right now, will probably need to wait another year or so until they start being easy to find significantly under.
The Integra has plentiful white ambient lighting for the front seats, not so much in the rear, and none of it is color adjustable. The only lighting color change is the gauge cluster color change with drive modes - white with normal, blue with comfort, red with sport, adjustable through those 3...
