Meet The 2023 Acura Integra

By now you’re likely to have read, heard of, or seen videos about Acura’s next-gen Integra. It’s an evolution of one of the car world’s favourite sport compact cars from the ’80s and ’90s — a car with a rich history, redeveloped to suit a modern-day audience. That said, even with its advancements in performance and technology, there’s one key element that Acura needed to maintain from its past; the option of a manual gearbox had to be offered in the new Integra.

Driving any car with a manual gearbox is a special experience. That “analog” connection between man and machine, between driver input and four-wheeled output. While not nearly as popular or common in Canada as they once were, there’s good reason that some people still insist on a manual gearbox, and why they will perpetually advocate for more new drivers to learn the age-old skill. After some seat time in the latest stick-shift Integra, we’re here to discuss where it came from, why you should learn to drive stick, and the best places in Canada to give it a go.
