Fine-tuned mechanical design turns driving into its own reward. When you have peak engineering at your command, you can lead the pack and enjoy adrenaline-pumping drives. The stronger your car, the more you’ll look forward to driving it.
A long stretch of open highway is the perfect time to see what your car can do. Hearing the engine's roar and feeling the rush of acceleration will have your heart pumping. Chasing the horizon calls for an expertly made motor that will conquer the pavement.
The Golf GTI offers just one engine, a 2.0L. It generates 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, making it a noticeable traffic presence. The Integra provides more power for drivers seeking an adrenaline rush. The available 2.0L turbocharged engine invigorates your drive by generating 320 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, easily outpowering the Golf GTI. If you dream about high-octane cruising, the Integra is the model for you.
Having immense power is only the beginning when it comes to your ride. How your car drives is just as important—supportive engineering will make each drive smoother and easier to control. Each car comes standard with front-wheel drive for reliable performance, which is a great foundation.
Transmission is the key to a smoother ride, and only the Integra offers the state-of-the-art Continuously Variable Transmission system for seamless acceleration. It makes micro-adjustments as you speed up and slow down for a more streamlined drive. The Golf GTI only offers a traditional automatic transmission.
A comfortable cabin is a must before starting a road trip. When you and your passengers are relaxed, you can enjoy every mile of every adventure. A smart design that caters to your needs is vital to your long-term enjoyment.
The driver’s seat is the most important and a sign of how your travels will go. Thoughtful design for the front row will make you look forward to every drive, especially when it provides a lush experience. The Integra and the Golf GTI each have ways of ensuring you and your copilot are comfortable.
Each model offers available dual-zone automatic climate control for you and your front-seat passenger to set your preferred temperatures. Each car also has an available 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat to help you find the ideal position. These chairs also include lumbar support to reduce fatigue and keep you at your best.
There’s even more to premium comfort in an expertly made car. The Acura Integra has several additional aspects that allow everyone to enjoy their time inside the cabin. They give the Integra an edge over the Golf GTI, both with more standard features and exclusive available extras:
State-of-the-art innovations make modern driving more secure and engaging. A car with more cutting-edge features will make driving a highlight of your day. The more of these at your command, the better your ride will be.
External sensors and onboard computing have given today’s vehicles an added edge. The Integra and the Golf GTI have a collection of driver-assistive technologies that work along with your safe driving tactics for added peace of mind. Features like adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and collision mitigation combine for safer driving.
The Integra goes the extra mile with even more standard driver-assistive features. These additional technologies give you even more protection and awareness when you need it most.
Staying connected while you’re out and about is easy with in-vehicle infotainment systems. Each model has touchscreens available for high-definition viewing as you connect your phone for simplified app use. These user-friendly systems make it easy to streamline your drive and keep your passengers entertained.
When it’s time to play your favorite music, the Integra makes the experience more fun for everyone. The available ELS STUDIO 3D® premium audio system uses 16 high-fidelity speakers throughout the cabin to turn your drive into a traveling concert. This high-performance audio system can only be found in the Integra, making it the right move for audiophiles.
Precision engineering and impeccable design make the Acura Integra the clear choice for the discerning driver. You’ll look forward to every drive in Maple Shade, Moorestown, and Cherry Hill, NJ, when you have this attractive and powerful model waiting for you in the driveway.
