Runner-Up: Acura Integra Type S, The Sport Compact
Acura Integra The Drive’s Best Performance Car its-hero-1-scaled-1

Chris Rosales




"The Integra’s engine is amazing, but the six-speed manual transmission it's paired with is really what makes the vehicle stand out. A stick shift can make a bland car interesting, and a well-made stick in an otherwise excellent car? Just incredible. I know it’s popular to dismiss the joys of driving manual these days because people are lazy and high-performance automatics can yield superior acceleration. But take it from someone who’s driven sports cars from the $30,000 to $750,000 price points: There’s simply no replacement for you, the driver, physically being a cog in your car’s transmission. If you want to feel one with your car, the Type S is an exceptional option for this reason.
"Acura has basically created the ultimate old-school tuner car (VTEC, turbo, manual transmission) dressed it in a clean but cool design (fender flares, center exhaust), and tied the package together with a suite of modern safety features you can feel good about putting your family in. On top of all that, the range and customizability of its drive modes let the car match your mood whether you want to trash some tires or fly under the radar.
"The Integra Type S is a car that not only has character and personality, it actually has several. Enduringly entertaining to drive, it deserves to be remembered fondly forever." —Andrew P. Collins, Executive Editor

2024 Integra Type S and some others.
I would go further than "it deserves to be remembered fondly forever."

The ITS belongs on a list of the greatest of all time!

Thank you for sharing. Both the ITS and CTR are good in their own ways.
