2024 Acura Integra review

What We Like 

• Excellent cargo space: The Integra's hatchback cargo bay is a meaningful upgrade over sedan rivals if you want a car with a bit more utility. With the seatbacks in place, the generous 24.3 cubic-foot cargo bay has about twice the capacity of the Audi A3. 

• Fuel economy: The manual-transmission base Integra gets an EPA-estimated 30 mpg in mixed driving.

  During Edmunds' testing, the Integra hit that mark with an observed 30.2 mpg. Automatic-equipped models have an EPA-estimated 33 mpg combined.

• Type S is an entertaining driver's car: The "S" in Type S stands for street and that's where the Integra shines. It won't blow you away with its performance numbers, but in the real world, the Acura Integra Type S is a blast. It feels more raw and connected to the road than any of its German rivals, thanks in part to its exceptional manual transmission. This car is agile through the corners, with stable handling and direct steering feedback. It's one of the best driver's cars on the road today. 

 What Needs Improvement 

• Interior doesn't feel as special as competitors' cabins: The Integra's interior is largely borrowed from the Honda Civic Si. At a glance, they're nearly identical, separated only by the Integra's additional color schemes and features. It’s nice enough, but it feels a cut below rivals like the Audi A3. The Integra's 9-inch infotainment screen is undersized compared to what you'll find in most other rivals and another reminder of the car's Civic roots. We also found that the 16-speaker ELS sound system lacked the power and rich sound of the systems in Acura's TLX and MDX.
