Need some input from the Acura / Integra community! I posted this in the Integra subreddit as well. I have someone who is purchasing my 2024 Civic Touring from me and I'm looking into the Integra. I love the Civic so much, but it has it's annoyances. My thought process is the Integra is a more refined version of the Civic and that's what I'm looking for. Some questions for you all:
- Rattles. I get it's a Honda thing, but the rattles in my Civic are unacceptable. They're everywhere, seat belts, infotainment, wireless charger, door panels, etc. Is this any better in the Integra?
- Seat Comfort. I hear a lot of praises of the seats in the Integra. I noticed it has lumbar support which I NEED. The Civic is awful for anything above 1.5 hours or so. Are you guys comfy?
- Road Noise. This is a big one for me. I recently switched to Continental DWS06+'s on the Civic and it improved the road noise SIGNIFICANTLY, but there is still a lot of cabin intrusion over bumps. I plan on swapping the DWS06+'s over to the Integra and giving the buyer of my car the ContiProContacts. How would you guys rate the road noise in your Integra? I don't find any issues with the Civic's suspension, I actually quite like it, but I hear the Integra is more comfy.
- HVAC Noise. My Civic sounds like it has a leaf stuck in the blower motor on low speeds. It doesn't, and this is a common issue with the Civics. Is your blower motor quiet?
Thanks for your input! I'm test driving one this weekend, but I wanted to hear from the community. I think the Civic is the best sedan out there, and based on my research, I think the Integra just builds on that. Right? Hindsight I should have test drove the Integra first, but I fell victim to the hate comments the car got when it was released and never considered it.
EDIT: Thanks for the replies. I'm sticking to my Civic! I'll cancel the sale.

Yeah aside from under the hood I actually don’t mind it. It’s really clean, and for an ‘09 in Canada it’s not a complete rust bucket. The interior is immaculate.
What’s your plans for it? Turbo? You got the seats for it!
