  1. EPS GEARBOX ISSUE

    I have had this issue in a minor way. Sometimes a slight extra tug to set the correct direction. I will have this taken care of at my dealer. They are above average. Still somewhat nervous about creating a big problem, fixing a small problem.
  2. Used 2024 Integra Base

    Odor is a potential dealbreaker for some. Price looks good, but I don't want to hear from my passengers that my car stinks, even if I never notice it.
  3. Questions about issues with 1.5 6MT before purchasing

    I don't think I'd say deadly...but 2.5 hours was my longest trip. My worst recent experience was with a 2014 Elantra GT. It was a really great package, but the front seats were curved buckets, not bolsters. We road tripped to New Orleans, and I had to take a break in the rear seat while my...
  4. Questions about issues with 1.5 6MT before purchasing

    2023 A-Spec 6MT 2 years and 10K miles I'm still real happy with the car, and enjoy driving every single day. Rattles and sticky steering have been really minor for me. Bigger problems are- 1. Noisy. It's just a noisy ride. Now I've been in mostly luxury cars for the last 20 years, so it's...
  5. Safari Edition Build

    I really like those Sparco wheels. My car is white, so I'm not sure that would look as good for me. But I expect 17" would greatly improve the ride, especially with highway tires. Can I ask the rude question of how much you paid for the wheels? I've never bought a set of replacement wheels...
  6. Acura dealership loaner.

    According to those logos on the window they appear to be a dealer for every single MFR selling in the US. Is that a Fiskar logo? Is anyone signing up for a new Ocean?
  7. Looking for a low mileage White Aspec tech 6MT ...

    I have a 23 6MT white with ~8000 miles. I am in the midwest (STLMO). But my interior is red. I love it, but my previous car had red leather and loved that too! If you're interested, please contact me, but be patient because I don't check the site all the time. I'm certainly not anxious to...
  8. What do you think of the specs?

    These are personal preference. I think the rain covers fit quite well and I am okay with em. You have the blackout emblems which I have too and like. But I'm not a fan of the dark tint. But as Frenzal says, my opinion is meaningless. When you park and walk away, do you turn back for a last...
  9. Disable Fake Engine Noise

    My A-Spec absolutely has piped in sounds. I blew the subwoofer early on and got these terrible buzzing sounds as I accelerated. At first my dealer denied that such a thing existed, except in an NSX. When I pushed they admitted it's there, but wouldn't/couldn't disable it. Dealer replaced it...
  10. Do I need to let my integra cool down after driving?

    I believe it's a good idea to drive an engine hard some times. But it's a bad idea to do that either starting very cold, or to turn it off when very hot.
  11. Do you have a car totem?

    I have a single sleigh type bell (tarnished) on a red cord. I hang it from the rearview as my only Christmas decoration. Probably around 15 years.
  12. Would you buy it again?

    Not to hijack because the thread is about the ITS and I bought an ASPEC. But I feel my car has many compromises. I've owned heavier, more substantial cars, the Integra is more tinny, and the seats are 90 minute seats, not 4 hour seats. I actually test drove a Mercedes 300E and it offers the...
  13. Too Old For ITS?

    Sounds fun to drive but hard ($$$) to own. I had a turbo fail on my Saab, but that was around 175K miles. Failing under 100K would be unacceptable to me. God willing, I'll see 200kmiles+ from the Integra.
  14. Too Old For ITS?

    This car was on my short list for a while, but I never located one at the right time. Glad I held out for a A-Spec (I'm 63) but I'd be interested in your experience with the Buick.
  15. What cars do you currently own besides the ATS?

    I love those with the white wheels! So retro!
  16. 1 year of ownership a-spec

    This.
  17. "Ordering" a specific configuration?

    In 2018 we ordered a specific RDX. It was the first year of a new design. I dealt with a very good dealer, Mungenast in ST. Louis. They estimated how long it would take and they were very close. IMO, since you are not looking for an allocation car, you should have a quickish turnaround. It...
  18. The Integra is a major let down

    This. I've driven mine for a year, but only 6000 miles. The only rattles I've observed is when the windows are down at highway speed it blows the seat belts around, I think. Pretty irritating, but I just roll the windows up. Also I blew out the subwoofer early on, and that caused noises...
  19. Speaker rattle

    I don't think it's warranteed, but I was pretty persistent and got a replacement. The dealer wouldn't agree that there was anything wrong with the speaker, it passed their testing. I dealt with the service manager, when I finally got to him, and he was prepared to do what it takes to satisfy...
  20. Speaker rattle

    Usually in the teens...But, I like to drive on the highway with the windows down, and when a favorite song comes on, yeah I crank it. My takeaway is that while the audio quality is excellent, the drivers are weak, and don't support loud music. Life is full of compromises and the integra is...
