what are your annoyances with your Integra Type S?

[Integra23]

well at least @Integra23 has been entertained lol

look all i did was post a contribution to the topic; i didn't quote anybody or mention anybody's name, so don't blame me for this. i was happy to ignore him but i guess he's gonna keep following me around, going through my post history and shit like a psycho, so he can keep bothering me every time i post on these boards.

If you're lucky you might get a pm.

My very favorite optronix quote and maybe one of the most perfect things I've seen on any forum ever is "idiots tend to not know that they are idiots themselves"

Not huge for me, but it would've been nice. It'd cool the kids down in the back just a hair faster vs the under seat vents.

It's less of a problem for my forward facing child as it is for my rear facing. But those are all temporary grievances if you can even call it that - more just "annoyances" like the thread title since the LOWER trim has it.

I get it , it is odd when the lower end models have some these minor features. The type S, the only thing I can come with why they were removed is all manufactures have a certain percentage they want to make off a model and with those things removed are what met that mark. To me and its just my opinion , an annoyance is something like the the wastegate rattle or that the tires are loud or even 1 or 2 missing minor features. When you name off like 10 things with missing features or build issues like some members with the car............. this was not likely the right car for you.

I've been driving the car more at night on darker back roads and while the auto high beams work great and are fairly responsive overall, the low beams themselves are trash.

Actually that's not even the correct assessment because distance and foreground illumination is great. I think the car just naturally sits too low and the headlights being aimed straight, casts a lot of shadows on the road ahead, making road imperfections look like potholes. We also need some squirrel finder technology built into these lights or something to light up more of the scenery above the road. Our RDX has similar jewel headlight technology but it lights up the road just fine. I think it has more to do with the SUV sitting higher and projecting light downwards onto the road vs the technology itself.

The front parking sensors popping on everytime I'm in a drive thru, behind a car at a stop light, or just parking. My Audi let me switch off the front parking alerts while keeping the rears. My ITS appears to only have both on or both off. I like using the rears, but thinking about just switching it off because it is such a constant, daily annoyance.

Would the collision avoidance system being turned off stop that? I think its in the setting you can turn off and that parking is its own thing. I could totally be wrong tho

Summer tires for the North East, no heated wheel, camera useless in rain.

I get the drive-through beeps. How close are you to the person in front at a stoplight? I have never had it beep there.

Interesting. I came from a car with incandescent lights and these jewel LEDs are 10x brighter. We also have a KIA and after being in my car then that car I thought it's headlights were off.

I love the headlights. I’m wondering when I hear people complain about them if they have an aim issue.

Don’t have my ITS yet, but saw a YouTube video reviewing the lights showing that they really don’t throw light far enough down the road, unless you’re on high beams.

I guess it depends what your coming from. A large SUV with similar LED headlights sets a much different expectation.

Counterpoint, my M2 had AMAZING lighting technology. The adaptive lighting was one of my favorite features.

I get what you're saying though, I wish some more of the RDX's lighting features trickled down to the Integra. I'd gladly give up another gallon of fuel capacity for much better lighting on this car.

Let's not get carried away here....

I don't know about you guys, but it's just enough to make it to the office and back twice a week between fill-ups. 120 miles of range per tank ain't TOO bad.
