I have a 23 A Spec with the CVT. Overall a great driving car and a blast to drive. I average around 37 MPG in mixed driving. It has a few shortcomings. It comes with no spare tire, no USB or power connections for rear passengers, no rear center armrest, and the interior road noise is loud in my opinion.

No rear center armrest ? Road noise is more dependent on the condition of the roads than the car.

How does it ride on rougher roads? Do you feel every bump, or is it pretty smooth overall?

Just sealed the deal on an S-spec Tech with 6-speed. Red with Orchid interior.

I just bought the same thing in April. Mine is Blue with Orchid interior. Had to get the 6MT before Honda/Acura gets rid of them -- you never know when that might happen these days.

Is there a way to opt for the full synthetic leather rather than having suede seats in the front?

Easily the best reason for the tech package is for the 6MT. Stinks about the lack of a spare tire though. I didn’t know that. What’s up with the inflator kit you mentioned?

I agree, well, the inflator kit is for a flat or something if the damage is not to bad. Many manufacturers are doing this.

Acura would’ve sold me if it brought all of the A-spec tech package to the type S just saying a little bit of extra weight would not hurt the performance of the type S, for the type S price range it should include everything…… just saying🤷

@@VagabondBuilds just want Acura to make the perfect car from Families to car enthusiast…. Currently looking for a manual car for me and my wife that’s fun to drive, has connectivity OR ac for the rear seats, memory seats, The Type S came the closest and almost bought it, but is lacking on a lot of features….. If Acura makes the 2025 Acura type S with the full-on A-spec tech package around the same price which is a lot to ask for They will truly succeed and have tons of sales🙌

I reviewed this once before just mentioning how you say InTAgra. You were a very good sport about it. There’s just something hilarious about your review. Maybe your boss asked you to compare the 2 trims. If you say Tech / Non Tech just one more time I think my head will explode. Very detailed conscientious review. I hope you had a cocktail afterwards! You seemed stressed out. 😰 I felt a bit bad for you. I don’t think you’ll ever do a comparison like this again. Best of luck to you sincerely. 😮

You’re too kind. I’m sure it’s harder to put a review together than it looks. But you have to admit, it’s a lot of “non-tech vs. tech”comparisons! I’m guessing about 30 plus times you say some version of this phrase. A+ for your efforts. You’ll be the general manager some day in part for your attention for detail.
