We got $6k off our 2025 Acura ADX Advance (and 1.9% financing) - trick was to look around the internet for a dealership advertising their rock bottom price, then our local dealer matched that. But it's an unpopular car. We were offered $3400 off a new CRV Sport Touring as well, so I'd think...

Our ADX thankfully has Individual mode so you can set engine sound to Comfort. The fake sound is absolutely awful in Sport mode.

10 track days (BMW Club, EMRA, COM). BMW Club's driving school at NHIS (wet skidpad, autoX etc) was the most fun though.

That is kind of my complaint about the car, it doesn't have the raw feeling of the great Hondas like the ITR, S2000 etc, and it feels a lot bigger, but it also doesn't have the comfort of the German competition, so it's kind of an in between car for me.

Yeah, my fond memories of my E36 and E46 are probably clouding my impression of newer BMWs, I'd probably be disappointed if I drove them. We did test drive an X1, it was meh. We bought the ADX instead, which I actually like better.

I sort of regret buying the FL5 - I mean I love looking at it, love what it is, but it just doesn't fit what we need, and especially doesn't fit the shitty roads where we live. But I don't think I could have understood that without owning it. My wife had so many restrictions on what we buy...

I think the Integra is getting the same $3k discount off MSRP as our ADX, but the ADX also had $3k in factory incentives and 1.9% interest, cause it's probably unpopular. Sorry shouldn't have got your hopes up. But I'd still try to buy new when buying Honda/Acura, you can get decent discounts...

Any carmax near you? They're pricey but have the advantage of being able to ship cars to you. They have 15 manual Integras. https://www.carmax.com/cars/acura/integra/manual?showreservedcars=false About the Integra CVT, we have the 1.5T with CVT in our ADX. The fake engine sound is extremely...

That's a good option - and people shouldn't get scared off by Acura prices - the salesman who just sold us our ADX said they sold an ITR for $5k off. We got $6k off an ADX and 1.9% financing. Brought the price down out of nosebleed levels.

Yeah, the 2026 Si gets some features back. Personally I think the LSD and the manual make it a lot more fun and capable. But the hybrid drivetrain is pretty nice, so I think it comes down to if you want the manual.

Yeah, I had a 2017 Sport hatch 6mT, and traded it (with 90k miles) for a 2020 Si. I definitely preferred the Si for the LSD and stuff but loved the 6mT hatch, and I just have an unnatural attraction to hatches. :D

Did you consider a 2024 Sport Touring with the 6mT? Just curious cause we're thinking of getting one of those for our son when he starts driving in a year or two. Or maybe a 2020-2021 hatch or Si if I can find one that's not too tired.

I'm hoping Honda gives me a Civic hybrid loaner when I take in the Type R, cause I was very surprised when we test drove the CRV Touring how good the drivetrain was. Like you said putting it in sport and adjusting the paddles made it very responsive. We ended up buying an Acura ADX Advance...

Yeah I'd probably not pay for it since the red looks great too. Our Tuxmat floor mats completely cover the red carpet, which kinda sucks but the full coverage is kinda nice.

If it really has engine tweaks and all that other stuff, $65k sounds about right. It'll probably keep its value like the M3 Lightweight. Love the Japan black package.

We just bought an ADX, and I didn't know about the sound when test driving it, i just put it in Sport mode, floored it, and was like "Oh my god!" We got an Advance so it'll have the Individual mode, engine sound is getting set to Comfort. 😄

If you do a track day they always tell you that you drive toward what you're looking at. He probably thought he saw a spaceship. 😄

Last week I drove by a road crew using a shovel to "refill" potholes on the highway. They'd just shovel a load of asphalt onto the hole and keep driving. And there were multiple vehicles and like 10 guys watching the shovel guy. Sometimes I go along roads in my company Nissan Rogue and I'm like...

There are nice roads in Western Mass, and I can find a nice road or two where we live north of boston, but when using the car to go around to places we need to go (not a sunday drive), the roads all suck horribly.

It's not even the weather, it's that the roads suck. My FL5 is great on a smooth road, but you hardly ever find one of those in Mass.
