Auto123 reviews the 2024 Acura Integra Type S, possibly the performance bargain of the year.
There was rejoicing when the Acura Integra debuted in 2022 for the 2023 model-year. The Integra name – whether flying under the Acura or Honda banner – has legions of followers who appreciated the model for what it was: a zippy, relatively affordable little two-door that could be modified quite easily. .

While a cursory glance could very well have one confusing the Type S with the A-Spec model one rung below it in the Integra lineup, there is much more to it than that. The A-Spec is mainly a cosmetic exercise; the Type S is a very different animal and it’s one of the biggest surprises of the year in the performance car world.
I think it’s fine, but I can’t help but think that it would behoove Acura to provide other options. Which they do – there’s a charcoal option – but only if you select either certain exterior colours, none of them white. If you want white, you’re getting a red interior. Why only the front seats have the black inserts, meanwhile, is anybody’s guess.
Up front, Acura has aced the driver’s seating position, placing the shift lever and centre console nicely within the driver’s reach, while the steering wheel is the perfect size and just chunky enough to help with grip but not being too thick so as to bother those with smaller hands. The infotainment display, meanwhile, measures 9 inches, which is the larger of two displays offered on the Integra.
Indeed, it’s important the Type S has this feature , because it’s the kind of car that really does ask to be hustled through the corners. Yes, the chassis set-up is on the firm side - though somewhat less so than the Civic Type R - but that does help reduce body roll and allow the tires to get that much more rubber on the road, providing that much more grip.
