2013 Acura ILX Hybrid w/ Tech Package
Kerry Olson, Midlothian, TX, 03/26/2016
2013 Acura ILX 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5A)
In April of 2015 we were in need of another car. Initially I looked at a BMW 335 and a Infintity G37 coupe, both of which I loved being a man. However I knew my wife wanted a good gas mileage that also had navigation, a CD player, heated seats, etc. I ended up choosing the ILX as it was below the book value at the time, was fully loaded, and though a hybrid it was sporty looking compared … to other hybrids on the market. I also liked the option of shutting off the hybrid mode, which gives the car more umph when getting into traffic in the DFW area. On average with city and highway driving we average 39.3 MPG with the car not in hybrid mode. We have kept up with oil changes, etc and I don't know if there is a correlation or not but the car does get better mpg within the first 20% of a new oil change. The front seats are comfortable especially considering that the basis for this car is the Honda Civic. The only flaws I see are limited storage, and no leg room for an adult in the back seats. However the interior dash layout is great, the hands free is one of the best I have used, and though it takes premium gas I have never paid more than $24.00 to fill it and my wife can drive 4-6 weeks before filling. It also looks like a higher dollar car. We will always be an Acura fan due to this car.
Fun Drive, Slow Ride

If you live in a city where traffic and drivers all appear to have an emergency, be prepared to drive like your part of a funeral procession. This car has one gear that has umph...3rd. Every other gear is designed to keep you from the gas pump and they do. The ILX handles incredible well, takes corners with ease and brakes suddenly when needed. Keep your stereo loud, as you want to drown … out the road noise. The interior is sharply designed , but does so with less than stellar Lego material. Looks great, just don't touch anything...kills the illusion. I have never experienced any mechanical failure...not one. I still have great braking left after 67,000 miles. I keep taking my car in, thinking the mechanics who inspect my car, forget to check the brakes. The cars design is fantastic. When another car passes me, as they usually do, they stare at the car or is it me, for moving too slow? Overall, I would buy this again without hesitation. No car has made me laugh so hard with the look of speed and the resiliency to keep me pleased. I do really like this car...just please put the rest of the gears in next time.
