I bought this car to replace a 2001 Integra. This car is different (let's face it. There are few cars available today which are going to handle like the Integra.). Most modern vehicles have electric steering (ugh) and McPherson struts or something similar. The double wishbone is gone for the most part. HOWEVER, although this car is different, it is still a lot of fun to drive. It handles extremely well with a lot of horsepower for its size. The steering is good for electric and there is good feedback. This is he first automatic I have owned in many decades of driving. My advice: put it in sport mode, step on the gas and look for some winding roads. You won't regret it! March 2018. It is 7 months on and there has not been a single problem with this vehicle. It handles pretty well in the snow. It handles well on wet pavement. It is nimble and very quick on dry pavement. I drive in comfort mode to commute and it responds very well when I need to merge into traffic. CR rated the ride poor, but I don't find it so. I think it is perfect for a "sport sedan". I've hit a few very bad potholes with no serious side effects. Two minor complaints: the armrests are too low and there is no dome light. Otherwise, it is excellent. Three years on, the car is great. Only oil changes and inspections so far. Gets 32 mpg in mixed highway and city driving. Love it.

Feels like Honda literally sent Acura a civic LX and they "pimped your ride" with some leather and such. Back in 2007 with my first new Acura, the TSX was with navi or not, and came fully loaded with all the other features and was tons of fun to drive, especially in the twisties (mine was a 6 speed manual). Now they have packages and trim levels (no manual trans offering) and it seems the value of Acura has gotten lost and swept up to try and compete with heavily option oriented luxury brands where you're nickle and dimed for each and every convenience. "Pleather" and heated seats, bluetooth and a dual clutch trans are all nice and standard features but also very basic ones you'll find on most cars with stickers in the low $20k range these days. If you want a touch screen entertainment system you'll pony up $2,000 for the premium package and also get some nick-nack features like perforated leather and blind spot detection. If not you're stuck with the 2006 looking blue interface that is way past its due date to be redone. The 17" wheels they put on this thing belong on a base model civic in my opinion and make the car look a touch like it's trying way too hard to be cutting edge styled, otherwise the styling of the car may be one of it's higher selling points. 2.4L motor is standard now so 201hp but it still feels like it could use a kick in the pants in that department for being damn near $30,000. Truthfully it really is just a very comfortable, better looking Civic that you can lease for under $300 a month with $0 down, however, it may be the best thing you can get for that price in the luxury market.

My 2017 Acura ILX was the best purchase I have made so far. I don't have many miles on it yet but so far it is amazing. I have driven a 2013 ILX and this is by far a lot better. I have one possible problem so far and the service is great. With the car being brand new there are to be some problems. The vehicle is a luxury Honda. Honda is the co-parent of Acura and therefore it is to be a "pimped" out Honda. That is the sole purpose for starting Acura. Just like Toyota and Lexus or Nissan and Infinit. The car is geared toward younger people.

My 2017 ILX, The day I was looking for a car. I scrambled from plenty of vehicles! First the Civic but to slow, Camry but no features, Rogue but too pricey, Sonata but too slow and expensive. Than I fell in love with my ILX, It was the best car I have driven out of all the four cars I listed. I drive 45 minutes from my house to Manhattan and it was saving me money and was a quiet and comfortable ride. I had a 2012 Passat SEL but I had so many problems and waste so much money that If I add all the maintenance prices plus the passat I could have boughten I Lexus or BMW, So I got the ILX. I had this for 2 years and no problems and at all. It's fast, reliable, fuel efficient and the money is worth it! My wife truly loves our ILX and I will hold on to it forever.

I have bought an ILX July last year and in January they transmission broke! February they had to replace the battery twice, in March they had to replace the starter... and today the car would not start. I have been trying to talk to Acura saying that the car it's beyond repair and that I don't need a buy back, only give me car that is not a "lemon"... the case manager keep saying that he is trying something but cannot garantee anything!! So I would not recommend anyone to buy an acura, specially ILX.
