The base Integra should be up against the base Mazda3 and the Golf (although, in fairness, you can't buy that in America anymore). He's driving the family car version designed top to bottom for fuel economy versus the performance car versions of the other two. This is particularly an issue because he's using, by far, the slowest transmission on the Integra against the fastest transmissions on the other two, so it's amplifying that gap.

    The Mazdas have a LOT of torque comapratively due to the higher compression ratio from the skyactiv engines. I have a manual (non turbo, non AWD) which is lighter but of course much less HP and torque than the turbo. It seems like the torque is very focused in the 2.5k to 4k range though, under 2.5k it feels a bit sluggish when you're actually driving it but it still takes off real zippy when commuting / doing everyday driving. Mine has been wonderful as a daily driver and is fun with how zippy it is. The OEM tires on them are not great though... I also personally LOVE the interior. I bought mine for $25k for full premium manual 2021 with the red leather interior and I love having an excuse to go for a drive just to be inside the interior and go zooming around.

    Interesting points: 1. Despite the Specs Mazda has, it got beat by the FWD GTI quite badly on a roll. Even from the Dig, keeping in mind GTI has tougher launch with FWD Set up. Yeah people will say, its AWD, heavier, and other excuses, but it has 2.5L engine and AWD set up to get a head start. So that's not a good set up, lower HP with much higher torque. And bigger engine producing just a bit more HP than the smaller engine... 2. the mighty 1.5L T is not too too bad. But that's too bad Acura did this to the Integra, coz then it can't win any race and just make them look bad.... Even the TLX Type S can't win any race against competitors. why would Acura do that? they claim that Acura is the 'performance' division of Honda? Really? I disagree because the Si will likely beat the Integra, the 10th gen accord has been proven to beat any TLX of its class, and the Type R would even probably catch up to the TLX Type S in half mile with smaller engine, FWD set up and Stick. People will again say oh TLX Type S is so heavy, yes, but it has 1 extra Liter engine to make up for it. So probably it's more like Acura is the 'Luxury' division of Honda, rather than 'Performance'.

Way to go Honda for hyping up everyone for nothing. It's going to be the same story with the Type-S whenever it debuts. If they're positioning Acura as the premium brand, then go all in.

    The reason why the Mazda came in 2nd is because it's not a hot hatch/performance car. Yes it's got a Turbo and AWD but Mazda has specifically said that the MazdaSpeed is dead. They are focused on more comfortable and luxury type of vehicles. Mazda's aren't geared for performance hence the transmission and no sporty suspension. It may take most cars off the line, but then the power falls off a cliff. Just happens to be a good daily commuter with some power.

    the funny part is, the 2nd gen RDX with the basic AWD was actually quicker than the current RDX with SH-AWD. SH-AWD significantly improves cornering/handling, but adds over 200 lbs of weight. And the Integra Type S with the 2.0T and 300+ hp is coming this summer.

    Mazda is rated at 210hp at the wheels. GTI is rated for 241hp at the wheels. Sources are from dyno graphs around the internet. Both figures should be from 91 octane fuel. If it's 93 octane or higher then Mazda would probably be 220hp at the wheels but I can't find a dyno graph for this.

    Mazda needs to make a 3 with the new 8 speed transmission they developed for the SUVs. I think the 6 speed is more suitable for the 2.5 non turbo, very tall gears. The tall gears of the 6 speed don't really blend with the turbo performance wise as the turbo short shifts at roughly 5500 rpm to stay in the powerband
