Used 2013 Acura ILX Consumer Reviews
Happy with my Acura ILX after 4000 miles
I purchased the Acura ILX after owning a Jeep Grand Cherokee for seven years. I really wanted a new JGC Overland, but decided it made more economic sense to look for a comfortable 60 miles/day commuter that would still give the feeling I was driving a solid entry level luxury car with most of todays tech features. The ILX has a very well engineered interior that seems well above the luxury level of a Civic or other lower end cars and in line with most other cars up to about 40K. It is a very pleasant place to relax while commuting a couple of hours a day. With a low 30's budget I compared against the Audi A3, VW GTI, Lexus 250H, and Suburu Outback and decided this was the best choice.

3 months of ownership and I'm extremely satisfied with my new ILX. Very peppy for a small 4cyl. engine. Ride and handling are very impressive. Excellent use of space on the interior. I'm coming from a mid-size and don't miss the little extra room I previously had. I don't want to see many of them on the road, but everyone should give this car a try.

Very satisfied
Just purchased this car brand new... black on black tech package. Love all the tech features! Nav, weather, bluetooth audio, backup camera.... Average gas mileage combined is 30 thus far. VERY quiet on the road. I really like the way the car looks and the keyless entry on the door handle makes life easy. LOVE IT!
Feels like a Civic with luxury price tag.
I helped m Grandma buy a CPO 2013 ILX w/ Tech. package. She wanted certain thing like a backup camera, leather, and navigation and the only car she could afford, that ticked those boxes was the Acura ILX. I drive this car a fair amount, so I do have a good sense of the car. First, this car DOES NOT feel like an Acura. My dad has a 09 TSX and everything from the materials, comfort, suspension, and performance on the ILX does not feel like it is related to any Acura. I have read from many forum discussions when the ILX first came out, that it is truly is a civic in disguise, that requires premium fuel and I can attest that it is. Most built-in navigations are terrible, so I'm not surprised with the ILX's system, but how can a 2013 "luxury" sedan have such a cruddy back-up camera? It does the job, but even the Toyota Corolla comes with a better camera. The suspension feels like it was made out of very cheap components, as it feels like the right front wheel is already in need of a ball joint. The exhaust shield fell off and the paint is prone to chipping. My suggestion to anyone thinking about getting an ILX is to get an older TSX or just get a fully loaded Civic.

Awesome little car!
I love my ILX Hybrid. Extremely reliable, Great ride and Great gas mileage (more than advertised even when driving in sport mode). No mechanical failure and I’m up to 97k miles. Love the Dolby surround sound! Just overall a great car and joy to own!
