Get it before it's too late // 2026 Acura Integra Manual Review

#acura #integra #savethemanuals The 2026 Acura Integra continues to deliver one of the few remaining manual-transmission experiences in the premium compact-car segment. Combining everyday practicality with engaging performance, the Integra offers a six-speed manual transmission on the A-Spec with Technology Package and the high-performance Type S. The Integra A-Spec features a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. Its six-speed manual includes automatic rev-matching, helping drivers execute smoother downshifts. A limited-slip differential improves traction when accelerating through corners, while the front-wheel-drive layout delivers predictable handling. For enthusiasts seeking more performance, the Integra Type S features a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 320 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Exclusively equipped with a six-speed manual, the Type S adds a helical limited-slip differential, adaptive dampers, Brembo front brakes, and a performance-tuned suspension. Both models offer precise steering, responsive handling, and practical five-door liftback bodies. The Type S emphasizes aggressive performance, while the A-Spec balances driving enjoyment with daily comfort and better fuel efficiency. With manual transmissions becoming increasingly rare, the 2026 Integra stands out as an appealing choice for drivers who still appreciate shifting their own gears. #aspects #types #civicsi #typeR 00:00 - Last of a dying breed 00:43 - Powertrain 02:04 - Walkaround 02:55 - Cargo 03:41 - Backseat 04:32 - Cockpit 06:58 - Driving Impressions 20:24 - Final SCORE
