I said it’s a si in a tux

what other similar cars did you look at before this ILX?

Elijah B Looking at getting this... or an audi a3... Or a mercedes benz cla.

This car is too closely priced to the Honda Accord. Slower, smaller, worse mpg and premium fuel. Didnt see a lane watch feature. For that size it should be either sportier or more fuel efficient than the Honda Accord and it is neither.

Okk

Good

I'm not sure how you could "almost" buy this car if you were looking at a V6 Accord. The Accord blows this piece of garbage out of the water.

2014 honda civic si

So it could look fuel efficient... Really thats the reason... :)

To be fair, you can't see the exhaust tip (or lack there off) from the driver seat.

I love that Acura keeps it old school and simple. I still remember my Integra.

You ducking face is lagging shut up shitbag

Agree. The exterior does not appeal at all. It looks way too generic. Does not feel as ergonomic as it should be.

You think all that's bad? You should take one out for a test drive, then you will see what real disappointment is! Choppy ride, underpowered (base engine), noisy, no head room. The sad part is that this was their "effort" to bring a small car to market.

Yes not sure how they hire the engineers to do the jobs.

I should add that in Canada, they did have two previous attempts at a Civic-based car, the 1.7EL and the CSX. Those were much more closely related to the Civic, so that almost made them excusable (I liked the 1.7EL for some reason). Honda/Acura with the ILX was supposedly aiming for something a lot higher, and the looks no longer match the Civic's, and because of that it seems much more disappointing. The Civic is probably a better car; the Accord is DEFINITELY a better car.

Freeda Birda amen

Freeda Birda lol actually, I have a 2010 Honda Civic Coupe. Before that, I had a 1999 Acura 2.3 CL. I agree with you that, for reliability reasons, I too would rather have a Honda over a Chevy. I'm just saying that of the Japanese luxury brands, with their availability of V8 engines and RWD, Lexus and Infiniti were always more luxury than Acura. Example: except for The ES (with is a dressed up Camry-a GREAT car by the way), the rest of the Lexus line(IS, GS and LS) actually CAN compete with BMW or Mercedes when it comes to luxury/performance. Can't say the same for Acura. Even the top Acura, the RLX, is still a dressed up Accord(another GREAT car but not in BMW territory). Why did I get an 1999 Acura CL at the time then? I DIDN'T buy it for the purpose of having a "luxury" car. I got it just because it was different. I loved the "alien eyes" tail lights. Even though, it was basically a fancier Accord, I didn't want a common car that's everywhere. The CL was more rare than an Accord. But to be taken seriously as a "luxury" brand, I've always felt GREAT sporty cars like the Integra/RSX cheapened the Acura name(nothing luxurious about them) and felt they should've been sold as Hondas. The ILX is an improvement over the old Acura EL and CSX (they shared almost all the same body panels with a Civic), but still too Civic-like(FWD and underpowered) to compete with the 3 series, C-Class or Lexus IS. But still a very reliable car and it will have good resale value.

Marshall Street true.

Yeah, I agree. This thing is terrible. 9.7 second 0-60? Pathetic!

***** Yes they should kill the 2.0L... the 2.4L does 0-60 in 6.3! Much better.

They just did with the new re-freshed ILX and the TLX. The TLX is actually a really great car. Very practical and sensible.
