Spotted Integra Type S Thread!

[nybrianc]

Is there a way to find out the numbers?How many of ITS on the street? Because I can’t believe there isn’t more in the NYC/Tri-state area.

What's nuts is that I've had my car since June, and I've yet to see a single one in the wild. I travel a LOT for work and still haven't seen one. Jacksonville is HUGE and has a pretty bit car culture, yet not a one. Kinda odd.

Had mine for 6 months so far….Never seen another type S in the wild here! Nothing but p/u’s, .
Love’en iT!

I'm actually in jax right now for my grandfather's funeral and was here last week to visit him in hospice. I've seen exactly 0 its and a handful of tlx type s. One was circling in my parents neighborhood (and clearly didn't belong there). I also saw an rs6 last week and that's a real unicorn.

That's more tlx type s than I've seen anywhere else. I'm not sure I'd call jax big on anything since it's basically one very large suburb and very cookie cutter America, but I'm certainly surprised at the number of cool cars that have popped up in my recent visits. My sister owns an sq8, and when I drove it recently to visit some friends I had every truck bro and his sister try and drag race me. Very surprising... And also entertaining if you know anything about it.

Side note: the sq8 is a killer. Sounds wicked, decently quick, and the build quality is insanely good. Audi interiors will spoil anyone short of a Bentley owner (which is also technically audi).

Agreed. I'm a big Audi fan; their styling is on point along with fit and finish. I've got an older S4 that is currently down for oil consumption and had a Q7 with some bolt ones and a tune, which made it a blast to drive for a larger (ish) SUV until it got hit and totalled out.

I'm a big fan of the SQ8; when I was looking at getting rid of my red eye, I almost pulled the trigger on placing an order for one. Delivery being 6+ months out kinda killed it for me.

I've been traveling a lot for work, but things are going to settle down here pretty soon, I'm seriously thinking about jumping on an SQ7 which has the same powerplant as the 8.

As far as the RS6, There's 3 or 4 of them around town, one of which is fairly well sorted and a small handful of some rowdy rs3's.

Yeah I like the Q7 format better than the q8. My wife doesn't know it yet, but at some point next year she's getting a new sq7 and our current q7 will be relegated to my tow vehicle and our snow plow .

If I see a white its the next couple days, I'll make sure to honk loudly and flash all my lights at it. If you see a blue jetta, an sq8, an a5, or a poo brown mdx acting insane on the road, that's me saying hi, lol.

My wife drives an SQ8 and although it is quite quick with beautiful interior, I think it has one of the worst infotainment system compared to other cars. I prefer the ITS since it is simple to use and it works very well. I also own a G80 M3 and really loves the infotainment system in that car.

I agree. I'm very upset audi went away from the click wheel interface. Trying to poke at a touchscreen while driving is so unintuitive compared to the click wheel. That's the major reason I didn't swap the Q7 for an sq7 a couple years ago...

The major downside to the Integra interface is just how archaic it is. Low res, low contrast, low brightness, often laggy, and just missing features. Why can't I adjust my starting volume? Or my parking sensor volume? Or the tire pressure range...? There are just so many things missing from it being a "luxury car" that it's kind of silly. Simple is one thing, but being stuck pre 2014 is another. Step into a 2014 German car and it's like stepping out of the 80s and into the 2010s. I love the way the its drives, but the tech is honestly pretty sad, and the part I'm mad at is that there's literally ZERO reason for it to be so far behind other than cost cutting and laziness. It's the same ecu as the Germans, but Honda just decided not to pay to activate certain capabilities.

The G80 is a spaceship compared to the wooden cart its .

The inability to adjust tire pressure re: TPMS is a huge miss, especially considering the likelihood of people changing wheels / tires with this car.
