Well...Goodbye

[zooka]

So while I loved my integra , it started to get get a lot of rattles on the interior (dash and front doors), I got some random emissions code that was cleared and never came back luckily. I then started getting a weird sound from underneath the car at a certain RPM. Then all my my pops and bangs went away. So I made the decision since I have 2 gas guzzling vehicles (FJ cruiser & 4runner) and the integra not really that great either. Well I traded the the ITS for a Mach-e GT with performance option. While it's not as engaging to drive as the integra its very very quick and actually handles fairly well. I was just very frustrated with the ITS the last few months. With only 1800 miles it made it even more frustrating. Here are pics of the gas guzzlers and Mach-E......Take care all.

Mach-e GT...I wish you asked. Good luck with the suspension (especially I feel sorry for second row passengers)...probably one of worse suspensions on the market.

Well it corners very well and rides well so far not really sure what you mean. Never really carry passengers in the back anyway. If friends go with us the 4runner comes into play.

Sounds like you shouldve gotten a A Spec instead. I'm averaging 42 mpgs. Better interior, sunroof, tilting mirrors

I had the Aspec before the ITS...lol , At this point I still have no regrets on the Mach-E

I sold that car because of suspension. It’s very bouncy. I first tried to solve it with the aftermarket KW coilover kit, but it didn’t help.

Anyway, if you like it ignore everyone and enjoy it!

Maybe it's different than the previous year or model you had. I have Magnaride and its no where near bouncy.

If you have Magneride, then you are probably right and they changed it.
I had 2023 model, and regular GT didn't have the Magneride. Only GT Performance had Magneride.

Congrats on the new ride...life is to short to drive any car that you are not happy with..

Weird you bring up some odd issues. I just got my S and I connected to the acura app. The app says I have a warning lamp for the adaptive cruise control. But there's no warning lamp on in the actual car. Weird.

It's not for everybody, but sounds like you just had a string of bad luck. Or just were never really that into it... you couldn't have picked a more opposite replacement for it!

Enjoy the new ride.

I'd love either one of those toyotas you have (perfect color too). Bummer you had issues with the ITS, but there's a few lemons in every batch and it sounds like you got one. I definitely don't blame you if it soured the experience for you (pun intended).

Personally not a ford guy though, but best of luck with your new ride!

I can see where your coming from. My family situation might be changing and was cross shopping a mach-e/ model y to get into something maybe a little cheaper/bigger but thats future 9 months + away.
Sorry to hear about your ITS problems tho, hope i don't get them lol

Yeah, not sure what happen with it. But I did see an emissions related thread on hear so that may be a little more common. I also had no rattles at all then all of a sudden they started popping all up over the between the dash and the doors. Of course my favorite thing about sport+ mode was the pops and bangs and all of a sudden those disappeared. The worst part about all of this was to get it to Acura to look at was a 50 min drive for me each time (that's the closest). It just became annoying for all this to happen on a car that's under year old, all in the last couple months at that. Then I figured screw it , I always liked the Mach-e styling since they came out. I spend less on gas now. Instead of my wife being limited to the 2 Toyotas she now can drive the Mach-e as well. So Far its a great car(of course time will tell). Way more features than the ITS, but I can't get over how well it's insulated to noise as well. What I find odd is I have gotten more complements on the Mach-e just a few weeks than I did on the ITS in about a year. I thought the ITS looked great (of course beauty is always different in other people eyes). I will say I miss the manual and pops and bangs (when they worked...lol) but the mach-e does fill the need for speed void.

Yeah, I love the Toyotas ( that's one brand Im partial to ). For a moment I though about getting the Supra instead of the Mach-e ...but I don't think I would have been happy with its size or the fact its really a BMW in disguise.
