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.

My dad and I spent months trying to find the perfect car to me. When I finally sat in this one at the dealership, things just clicked and I knew that this was the one. I love the sleek, exterior design, and the interior has really nice, soft leather. Now I'll never get lost thanks to my navigation, and lovely backup camera!!! I just wish this car had blind spot monitors and had memory seating feature, so I wouldn't have to adjust it everytime someone sits in my car! Also, I don't like how the front and wheel interior is black and the rest of my car is beige! But otherwise, amazing performance and a real money saver when it comes to gas. Couldn't be happier with it! Love my birthday present

Best car you’ll find in this class!

This car is comfortable, and feels roomier than its small size would lead you to believe. The navigation system is easy to use and the screen is clear and large. The upgraded sound system is better than I would expect in this class of car. There are a few minor drawbacks to the car, but based on the price point, you have to expect some trade offs. First, the 150hp engine is sufficient for 80% of situations, but it’s definitely underpowered. Get the optional 200hp engine if you can (I think in newer models they made it standard). I have driven a 2018 with the 200hp, and it makes a huge difference. Second, there are no memory seat buttons. I didn’t think this would be a big deal when I was car shopping, but I realized quickly that I used memory seats way more often than I thought. Then again, I’m someone who is overly sensitive to a seat position that’s slightly off from what I’m used to! It would be nice if they made this model in AWD, but snow traction is about as decent as you can find without all wheel drive.

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!
