Christ took us on the best test drive! I felt 1000% confident in buying my car because he shows you all the features and important details, speed, breaks, lane assist, different driving mo I felt 1000% confident in buying my car because he shows you all the features and important details, speed, breaks, lane assist, different driving modes, you name it he made sure to go over every inch of the cars capabilities. Everyone at Acura was so positive, upbeat, and helpful. I was very surprised at how willing they were to look into every avenue in order to get me the best deal. I’ve never been to a dealership that has made me feel more comfortable and valued, normally dealerships make you feel like just a number but Acura treated us like the complete opposite. I have raved to everyone I know about Niello Acura and about all of my cars features (thanks to Chris). I am beyond in love with my car and the experience as a whole that Niello Acura, Chris, Ayana, Brian, and Randy provided! Definitely on my way to becoming a customer for life!:) More

The sales team was absolutely incredible here and I commend them with my sincerest appreciation. More dealers should be as helpful as this one and I encourage people to go here for a proper dealer expe commend them with my sincerest appreciation. More dealers should be as helpful as this one and I encourage people to go here for a proper dealer experience. That being said, Acura really let me down on this integra a spec. The type S is the car the integra should have been when it first launched. The regular a spec has been extremely dull, soulless, and uninspiring to drive. Some could say it should be expected with such low horse power but man is this thing sluggish. The drive is one of the most boring I have ever had and my daily used to be a jetta. The inside is extremely luxurious and in comfort mode it feels incredibly smooth however, it just does not embody any part of the previous integra generation soul. It no longer feels like a get in and do anything but instead a get from point a to point b and at the price point I was expecting a bit more to be honest. At least some thrill in driving this new car . The looks can get it so far because it does look great even without the type S side fenders but it’s just so boring to drive, my partner and I are very saddened by Acura and feel let down by the new integra as previous gen integra owners/family. I wouldn’t suggest this new integra that’s not a type s to anybody but I would suggest Neilo Acura for their amazing customer service. Will be looking to sell this soon to go another route unfortunately. More
