I think it depends on your use case. I tried a Type S after owning my A Spec 6MT for a couple years. I could have easily done the switch financially as I found a dealer discounting the Type S before that was a thing everywhere yet still giving a good trade in price for mine. On suburban...
The manual BMWs (M2, M3, Z4) are very good. I think you would like your M3 more if you had gone with the base 6MT version. Any thought on getting one of those?
The Integras are really fun cars, probably more fun than the BMWs save the Z4. You will have a significant decrease in overall...
They are pretty similar in all regards. I do say the Integra allows earlier shifting, which makes the rev hang a little less objectionable. It never really bothers me anyhow. If you shift at the same rpm, the amount hang also seems the same.
Hey Experts,
I really miss the M Sport shift knob from my BMW. Any ideas if this would fit and/or aftermarket alternatives for Acuras/Hondas that look similar? Looking for something leather than is better at remaining temperate in the winter and summer!
I sold my 07 TSX 6MT (great cars!) about 1.5 years before I got my Integra A Spec 6MT. I loved my TSX, it was an amazing car. I also love the Integra, and it feels more similar to the TSX than any other car I have tried. There are things I prefer about each.
While the steering heft of the...
I had a Sapphire Blue Macan and ABP Integra at the same time for a couple of years. Both colors look great.
I, too, prefer regular ABP to Double ABP which often looks washed out. Bummer they made this switch.
Interesting that the base model which gets the bulk of the upgrades rose by $400 but the A Spec Techs go up $1,200.
Love my A Spec Tech 6MT, that really is a nice daily driver trim.
Mic drop, the Z4 6MT is my dream car and I’m trying to find enough uses for one to place an order before they go away. Would be interested in your ownership experience so far.
Congrats on the Integra, I love mine. That is the other thing that makes me hesitate to get the Z4!!
My car needed a HUD replacement as my display glitched with a big blank circle obscuring the one’s digit of speed and the traffic sign. Part was back ordered so I’m guessing this is not uncommon. They also have to take the steering wheel off to complete this job and failed to put it on...
I have a unique perspective, owning two A Spec Techs, a 6MT for myself and frequently driving my teen son's CVT. The manual really makes this car. The CVT gets better gas mileage on the highway, all other aspects go to the 6MT. The LSD makes it grip better in turns, it feels quicker and Honda...
It is very strange. We've had BMWs, Lexi, a Benz, a Porsche, Saabs and Volvos - none of these cycle the settings automatically. Most (Lexus excluded) get much warmer, and the wood wheel on our Macan gets scalding!!
Hey Folks,
I was interested in the upcoming ADX for our family until I saw the online reviews which were less than complimentary. What was more concerning was that several comments were made about head gasket issues with the 1.5 engine. Anyone have data on this? Should us Integra 1.5 owners...
