as someone who has a 228iGC and has had a ton of A3’s I wouldn’t really compare them apples to apples. No matter what Acura claims. To me personally they are a performance brand. Not luxury brand. It’s like if Toyota spun off TRD into their own brand. IMOWell put. I appreciate any insight. And ya I guess if I want to make a even comparison...the tier 1 brands would cost a lot more to get the same features that ill get with the Acura. And stick shift is definitely what I want. I'm sure I'll get some clarity when I can see one in person. I expect to be swept off my feet lol.
I also have a deposit on a civic si...so I'm also back and forth on that. The civic will be the same amount of fun...but the Integra will be a head turner for sure!
leather seats and safety features can be had in a Honda Civic. Doesn’t make it luxury. The bmw and MB entry vehicles don’t even have real leather and volvo, a luxury brand my wife adores doesn’t have leather. Luxury has gotten convoluted in defining in car brands unless you are crystal clea
the integra is aimed at two markets. The nostalgic market that pines for their youth, cough cough wink wink; and a market that wants a Honda inspired drive and reliability but with added amenities. I would’ve bought the Si if driving a stick was possible in my day to day. Hence. The integra fits the bill.
the integra a spec non tech is a civic hatch ex-l. Full stop. But it has a few more add one’s that appeal to me like more hp, Acura link and better suspension in sport mode (fingers crossed)
