Our Road Test review of the 2024 Acura Integra Type S where we tell you all about it and compare to the Honda Civic Type R.
is a stiff-riding car; there’s no denying that. And the Type S is, too, but the extra forgiveness in the Integra’s ride is a godsend on the Midwest’s terrible roads. Instead of thinking,in the Civic, the Type S offers up a ride that can pass for enjoyable when you have the dampers in their Comfort mode. If you’re driving on rough roads frequently or simply don’t care for being beat up on your commute as much, the ride quality of the Type S is quite possibly its biggest selling feature.
The lack of exhaust drama exhibited by the Type R is eliminated with the Integra, and that was the start and end of my complaints about the Civic. Depending on the roads you frequent, the Integra’s damping could be helpful to shrug off the worst of the bumps and potholes, but both cars are pretty good at that so long as you keep them in the Comfort damper setting.
The 320 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque – 5 ponies more than the Civic – is pushing the limits of what a front-wheel-drive car can handle. Spinning those front wheels happens without even thinking in first gear, and the freight train of acceleration really picks up in second and on into third. This car only weighs 3,219 pounds, which means the 320 horses are rather effective for sustained acceleration up to and beyond highway speeds.

While I really don’t have anything bad to say about how the Integra Type S drives, it’s still not the perfect car. Weird hangovers from the Type R infect it and make it a worse
