An Excellent Car!

2013 Acura ILX Premium Package 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5A)
I have had my ILX now for over a month and 1,500 miles. It is an excellent car. The complaints about the 2.0L engine being slow are not accurate. I find it to be very peppy and responsive. Plus I drive 64 miles back and forth from work 5 days a week and I have never gotten less than 30 MPG, with an average of 29 MPG city/hwy driving overall. The interior is of excellent quality and the … ride is smooth and quiet. The electronics are excellent and the sound system is very good, I use the XM radio all the time and it never drops out. I'm 6 ft tall, 250 lbs and I fit very comfortably in the car. I've even ridden in the back seat and that was comfortable. It looks great and rides great!
Driving this car to work everyday....

2013 Acura ILX Premium Package 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5A)
This is the second month I am driving this car to work, everyday for 70 miles.
Certainly don't feel like driving a Civic. Indeed, I owned a 2 doors Accord for 9 years and ILX is way more luxury than Accord, hence I don't know why people said it is just an upscale Civic?! Drive before you judge....
Compare to Lexus CT200h and CT200h is not even close to ILX, in luxury and design. ILX … designers/engineers are really serious in doing the job and they do it very well.
Acura ILX Impressions after first month

2013 Acura ILX Premium Package 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5A)
The Ilx is a great car. I am a Honda/Acura fan which is a big part of why I purchased this car.
You can get more car for the money with Toyota, Honda or Nissan any day, but if you want the Acura badge and build quality you pay the premium. The car handles extremely well, road noise is pretty low and the interior is one of the most comfortable and aesthetically appealing of any car I have … owned. The interior isn't large but its done very well. I really enjoy driving this car and it gets its fair share of looks. Don't judge this car by pictures, I went to the dealer to buy a tsx and left with this because when I saw it the body styling really hooked me in. It is definitely not a rebadged civic
So excited to buy my new Acura ILX

2013 Acura ILX Premium Package 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5A)
I have owned many cars from Jeeps to Volvos and I keep coming back to Honda products.
I owned a 1996 Acura Integra and I always refer to that as my favorite car.
I owned a 2007 Volvo S40 that was pretty to look at, but drove very choppy.
The 2013 Acura ILX is really smooth and fun to drive.
I have read reviews that the ILX car is a Honda Civic in a tuxedo.
What is wrong with a Honda … Civic?
My 2006 Honda Civic EX Coupe drove 10 times better than my Volvo S40 and the new ILX I just purchased drives even smoother and is 10x more luxurious than my Honda was.
I think I have found that perfect blend of performance, luxury and style.
I think I might have found my new favorite car.
