Piece of junk

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.

Nice Car For Price

I am leasing my 2021 ILX Premium Package as I wasn't sure if I wanted a smaller vehicle or larger. I have had it a year and it is quite great! The pick up/drive is nice, the features are nice, and it's great for blaring music. I get compliments all the time on it, and was even asked what I do for a living to be able to afford it. I have 2 complaints only. It is a bit outdated on the dash and I wish it got better gas mileage. I am overall happy with it, however, and am considering keeping it after my lease period.
