In October 2018, I purchased a prior leased 2016 Acura ILX with 23k+ miles and I love all things about it with the exception of the road and pronounced engine noise.

Electronic safety systems reduce driving effort

**NOTE** ILX not TLX -- I liked everything about this car except for a few items -. Hate the speech recognition system: doesn't recognize my commands, very inflexible command structure,. Cabin noise is to high with the premium tires, the navigation system is not compressive with current systems., even, no speed limit indication, messy to input destinations and 2nd waypoints. The good thing is Siri works well and does understand voice commands. Likes: snappy, 8 speed transmission is outstanding, Best reason to own are the electronic safety controls. These take about 50% of the effort out of long distance driving. Also getting 39 mpg on highway trips. Low roof for tall people

Almost Right

This car is almost a great car. The transmission is a bit jerky, particularly when driven at a leisurely pace. You sit very low in this car. As Time went on, getting in and out of this car became increasingly irritating. My wife and I are in our 60s; this may not be of consequence to young people. I never had a problem with the car; for me it was very reliable.

Issues with infotainment

This is my first Acura and generally I am very happy. I haven't had it in for the first service yet but wanted to know if anyone is having issues with the infotainment system. About once a week when I start the car the radio stations will come up with all the programmed numbers wrong. The stations are correct if you select them but the numbers displayed are wrong. Sometimes it will correct itself after a while and sometimes it won't. Twice the backup camera has not gone off when I shift out of reverse and the upper display stays on the back up camera the entire time I am driving. Next time I start it will go back to normal.

I have owned two previous Acura's and loved them. This vehicle is poorly made. I had 18 things wrong with it, and the dealership and Acura customer service were unwilling to assist me. What a way to treat a loyal customer! Do not waste your time or money!!! Traded it in for a Lexus!!!
