The 2024 Acura Integra Type S is more like what we were hoping for:
Of course, that doesn’t mean it will be any less fun to drive than its rivals. Our brief experience behind the wheel suggests the Type S treatment goes a long way toward livening up the Integra’s dynamics, which were already lively. The steering is heavier while remaining responsive and precise, and the wider tires lend a planted feel. By the way, those 265-series Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires are of the grippy high-performance summer variety .
We’ll have to wait to drive the Type S on public roads to judge its ride quality next to the firm Type R, but the turbo four in this package impressed us. It revs eagerly, pulls hard to triple-digit speeds, and even makes plenty of character-adding exhaust pops and crackles.Because this is a Type S and not a Type R, the styling is less extroverted. The Integra lacks the Civic’s giant wing and aggressive-looking vents and scoops, which could be good or bad, depending on your perspective.
With a dash more sophistication than the Honda, the Integra Type S could prove enticing. If it’s priced within a few thousand dollars of the Civic Type R’s $43,990 base, there should be plenty of interest in this alternative Honda hot hatch. We’re eager to find out more and spend more time behind the wheel when the Integra Type S comes closer to reality.
