The 2021 ILX absorbs bumps like a Trabant. Worst suspension of any modern vehicle I have driven or ridden in. Extremely inconsistent throttle response. Sometimes it is perfectly linear and responsive. Other times, it struggles altogether to maintain a consistent speed. Nobody can figure out why. Various clunks/noises accompany acceleration and breaking. These aspects would make the Trabants envious. Cheap is expensive. Never forget!

This is a nice, medium size entry level luxury car. Having owned Audis, Mercedes and BMWs, I would put this car right up with them. It has a very stiff ride, so people who liked driving the 80’s and 90’s Audis would enjoy this car. The only negative that I would mention is the gas mileage could be better. After 5 months, I am averaging around 30 MPG. Similar sized Hondas do much better.

A spec premium in white. Very sharp looking. Drives great. Use the recommended premium gas. It definitely makes a difference.

I would recommend Edmonds.com to get the best price There is an issue with the 2020 ILX The door lock can be easily opened with a screwdriver. My ILX has been broken in twice and the door lock is damage as a result. The repair is very costly. Acura is aware of this issue with the lock defect as the Acura dealership where I took my ILX to be repaired had advised me that this was a known issue with the ILX. when I contacted ACURA the mamanufacturer to ask him about this issue, they were pretty much indifferent and did not seem to care.
