19% of Acura Integras have been sold with a MT
Acura Integra:
- Expensive
- Like Civic
- Lacks good design
- No coupe
- No memory seats
- No sunroof
- will not sell

I am wondering why people aren't opting out for German engineering...You may not have the answer, but let me tell you: it drives well, packaged well, has reliability and it will have a better resale value than any German cars out there! Well done Acura! Finally, over 80% of the sales are from AT. So, the MT excuse is BS!

Drifting
The more we drive ours, the more we love it. It's fun and responsive, and terrific handling. It holds people and a lot of stuff comfortably. Our Pearl Red/Orchid car looks smashing, IMO. Now that it's warmer out with summer gas, 40 mpg is very common on most tankfuls. It will be reliable and hold its value well. It's a 6MT, and it costs the same in inflation-adjusted dollars as our beloved 90 LS coupe. Sounds like a winner to me. Apparently, lots of Americans agree.

Happy to hear that! Overall, the Teggys is doing super well and as the numbers show, Teggy is a huge success in America! It's not easy to beat Germans but this shows Acura did their homework

3rd Gear
After 17 years and 3 months and 188360 miles, I opted out of my 2006 Acura TSX 6mt for an Integra A-Spec with the 6mt. Had the vehicle for a little over 3 months and put on 3000 miles to date.
VERY happy with this vehicle. Much quieter than my TSX, and with a lower final drive ratio, the engine is spinning at appx. 2700 RPM @ 70 MPH instead of 3000 RPM. Gas mileage has been averaging about 36 mpg combined, and have averaged up to 41 mpg on the highway. The actual mileage calculated manually is about 2mpg less than the displayed value.
The only annoyance with this vehicle is the rev hang between shifts, particularly between 1st and 2nd gear.
I didn't think I wanted the technology package, but now that I have it, I love it.
Hope this car holds up as well as my TSX did.
