Doug DeMuro Tries to Steal an Acura Integra Type R, Shows the Weird Stuff

As Doug also points out in the video, the brilliant naturally aspirated 1.8-liter motor of the machine, which unapologetically packs a Honda badge, ended up turning against the machine. That's because the reputation of the motor, which quickly became a gem in the street racing and modding community, meant that many examples of the vehicle got stolen.

And, just like we mentioned in the title, the journo makes an attempt to recreate the procedure many thieves followed when grabbing the sportscar.

Speaking of which, the status of this particular example musn't be taken for granted. And we're referring to the fact that the machine was neither stolen, nor modified.

Given the age of the car, you musn't expect Doug to jump up and down VTEC throughout the video. Nevertheless, the aficionado does deliver the usual driving conclusions.

Oh, and since the journalist loves zooming in on the little details of each car he meets, the Acura we have here gives him plenty of counting work to do.

So, is the Acura Integra Type R worth paying up to $40,000? Well, as you can tell without being an auction specialist, prices are going crazy these days and the thing only seems to gain value.

So, there's no simple answer to the question above - be sure to check out the full review and do the math (emotional math included) if you're considering adorning your garage with one of these.
