The 2023 Acura Integra and the 2023 Mazda 3 Turbo both promise driving fun at a somewhat reasonable price. Which hatchback does it better?
Acura has brought the enthusiast-favorite Integra nameplate back to the market after a two-decade hiatus. It now takes the form of a hatchback sedan rather than the hatchback coupe most people might remember. It offers roomy seating, standard turbocharged power and many helpful driver-assistance features.
Interior and technologyThe Integra's interior might give you deja vu if you're familiar with the latest Honda Civic. There's a clear familial resemblance to the Honda Civic Si, which it shares a number of its parts with. The honeycomb vents are similar, as is the protruding screen rising above the dash. That's not necessarily a bad thing, since the Civic is one of the best in its class.
The Mazda is noticeably snappier in a straight line. It did the same sprint in 6.1 seconds, leaving the Acura in the dust. The turbocharged 2.5-liter engine puts out 227 horsepower and 310 pound-feet, or 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet if you use premium 93 octane gas. Mazda also fits it with all-wheel drive, which is a nice bonus during wintry conditions. The Mazda 3's handling isn't quite as satisfying as the Integra's, but otherwise, it's an easy win here.
The Mazda 3 Turbo has a higher starting price of $33,515. But you're getting a few more features than what the base Integra has, including all-wheel drive and a premium sound system. The Mazda 3 Turbo is only available with a six-speed automatic transmission, which our editors prefer to the Integra's CVT. It tops out at $36,960, but that includes a 360-degree camera and a few cosmetic exterior items to make it stand out from other Mazda 3s.
