My understanding is the LSD is only with the manual. Also the CVT performance is very well in the Civic and gives them a very smooth drive with great MPG, and is as performant as the manual. So there isn't anything wrong with it other than people only complaining about CVT for the sake of complaining. It also holds more TQ than the stock manual's clutch does.
Well the 19 inch rims are coming on the Integra base models. Jon Ikeda said they were 19 inch rims for the prototype but said it would be an inch down on size and it wouldn’t be as low as the prototype. The Brembo brakes also won’t appear on the base because those are exclusive to Type S models. 10 Speed also isn’t a DCT it’s just a traditional Automatic and the DCT can’t link up to the 1.5T. It’s going to have a CVT for the 1.5T auto. Type S might get 10 Speed or something else.
Not sure if you own a Honda CVT vehicle. We do - a CRV. You're right: its got smooth operation, good FE. But, its also non linear in acceleration relative to pedal travel, and is largely soulless. Luckily my spouse drives it and thinks its great. I wouldn't buy a Integra with one if this is how it will perform. But that's just me. And probably a lot of people. But luckily i still have an Integra in the garage. So I don't feel the need to try to tell people what to think.
I’m pretty confident that Acura isn’t dumb enough to put a regular commuter/lifeless CVT in the integra. And the reddit engineer said it was tuned and given quirks to appease the enthusiast. I think it’ll perform well and be fun to drive.
That would be drive by wire tuning, not the CVT. My mustang is the same way. Its linear in Normal mode, but in sport its only linear up to 50% then it acts like there is MORE pedal than I'm really giving, and in Snow it acts like there is less.
It's crazy that it takes an "Acura Engineer" from reddit to give out information on a car that Acura showcased way back in November. I'm gonna be COMPLETELY honest here...when I was at Radwood there weren't many people really paying attention to the Integra. I didn't want to say it then cause I was hoping that perhaps Acura had something up there sleave for this Integr a
I keep coming back and looking every few hours to see if somebody (usually TigerEye) has found something that dropped. I dunno why I'm so invested in the base Integra cause I'm not getting one until I see what the Type S is all about but nonetheless I still can't wait to see more information about the car.
You know I’ve been a huge advocate for the Integra since they announced it was coming back… the fact that I am starting to look at other options says something that Acura isn’t doing well with this late reveal stuff. If Tomorrow we don’t hear anything idk this is going to really upset a lot who want to know what they are getting into
Right like you have been on it since the beginning back when I and just about everyone else just knew this thing was gonna be a sedan...you really havent been wrong yet...even got the trim levels down for the most part (all but one trim is aspec lol)
Not to start a generational war.. but this younger generation that Acura Is trying to rope in is a “need it now”/ instant gratification type of crowd. Grew up with the internet everything within a half second google search.
At this point anything is possible lol
