I hate how everyone just says that this is an overpriced Civic, cause its really not. But ppl only say that type of stuff with Acura. Nobody says that a Buick Verano is just a nice Chevy Cruze or that A Lincoln MKZ is just a Nice Ford Fusion

!!!!HELP!!! Every time I try to get my cruise control to turn on, I then hear a loud beep and it will read ACC OFF - What does that mean? Well, actually I now know what that means. But instead, what needs to be done for it to be ON. Randomly, it will allow me to activate Cruise Control. But then!!! As I'm going down the road - I hear that same BEEP sound and then on the screen above my steering wheel, it'll read, ACC OFF. Is there a problem? Or does something need to be done? ALSO! Under the hood, if you open the fuse control box...!!! On the right!! There are two I guess with LONG fuses or LONG relays..? One of them controls ALL interior lights and basically controls and IS POWER to the WHOLE INTERIOR. From my windshield wipers, power steering, lane control down to my Radio and Lights. Autozone, O'rileys and AutoZone.. places like that do NOT and will not have them. Nor will they order it for me. So my questions as well as the first one, 2) is it a fuse that is blown or a relay or 3) where do I find one to replace? OH READ THIS PLEASE!!! I HAD to RIG it for my car to get power to the interior in order for my car to start!!! I took a piece of metal or copper and stuck it from one bolt to another (the bolts are located in the fuse panel box under hood) !!!!!!HELP!!!!

No matter what Acura does with the ILX, there will always be ignorant people who say, "Well, it's just a civic with a suit on!" This car is absolutely superb, especially when it comes to the competition. My family owns a Honda Civic EX and let me tell you that the interior of the Acura ILX is much better. I test drove an Acura ILX Premium with the A-Spec package and the ride quality left the Honda Civic in the dust. I do not see how people can genuinely compare the ride quality of both cars. You must be absolutely oblivious reality to feel so. The Acura is also not expensive, I find it hilarious when people say this. The top of the line Acura ILX costs under 36k, destination included. Find me a similarly equipped Mercedes CLA or Audi a3 for that price. IMPOSSIBLE. That's just the MSRP, I could probably talk it down to around 34k as well. Stop the ignorance, this car rocks!

I can vouch for getting almost 40 mpg on the highway. At 70 mph, the engine is turning around 1900 rpm and I recorded about 38-39 mpg at that speed on flat terrain. With A/C on, it will get about 36-37 mph cruising at 70 mph (again on flat terrain). I have the 2016 ILX w/ tech package and I love the car! 65 mph seems to be the sweet spot for the car mpg wise.

Awesome, I plan on getting an ilx once I'm out of school in a month. Why did you pick the premium over the tech package? I'm leaning towards the tech package with the A-spec right now so hearing your choice on the premium would be appreciated.

Long story short. I didn't see the value in spending a few thousand more for different rims and a navigation system. Everything else was cosmetic in a way. The Jami port in the car connects your phone direct to the screen. You can actually use your own navigation. I was able to work out a great deal on it. Anything else let me know

Juan Perdomo Ah okay, I do like the rims on the tech package but the biggest concern for me is the sound system. I don't need super crazy bass or anything near there but I do want a clean and crisp sound system so the tech package has those speaker upgrades. How do you like the sound system in your ILX? Also, doesn't the tech package have the lane assist and a few other safety features?

SirChocula I just bought the Premium 2016 Acura ILX as well and I love it! My last car was a 2012 Acura TL Tech and it was entirely too big for my taste (I felt like I was a soccer mom with that big-ass car) but the sound system was impeccable. That was my only concern when I purchased the ILX but like Juan said...I couldn't justify spending an extra few thou for a sound system, a few cosmetic enhancements and I always used my phone's navi over the navigation system in the my old TL (in my opinion my TL's navigation was never accurate for the ever growing Washington, DC Metro area). However, once I adjusted the sound settings on my iPhone and in the ILX it was perfect...I would highly recommend the Premium ILX and my bank account recommends it as well lol!

I have a 2015 Audi S4 as a daily driver and an 2007 Honda S2000 with 19k miles on it so I'm not a Honda hater. As a matter of fact the best car ever built for the money is the Honda NSX and the S2000. The problem I have with Honda now is they are only a shell of what they were back in their glory days. The current civic si is not all that great and the ilx drive is of civic quality only slightly better so spending 30k for it is insane in my opinion.

All Acura / the ILX needs to do to compete with a 3 series, an ats, or an a4, is add a turbo to their engine. Aim for 260 hp, 29-32 mpg, and you're golden. I understand it will bump up the price a few thousand bucks but no luxury car buyer wants a naturally aspirated four cylinder.

+Rick Frank This Acura is not far more expensive (at some trims) than top of the line Honda civic. It's still a little more sporty, I'm sure it hold the road a little better, comes with dual clutch transmission, I'm sure it comes with a little better materials, comes with better tires, as well as it's Acura and a little longer warranty. So if you want to spend a few extra grans on a little better car, it's not a bad deal. Difference is not that much. But forget about Acura, try Merc CLA250, for a naked car you will pay $32k+ out of pocket and it will only have a little better engine and absolutely 0 luxury features.

+Roman O that's right. The new civic is good, although it feels like it's almost a luxury vehicle mixed with an economy car. The ilx is an entry level luxury vehicle. It's actually a tad faster than the civic turbo and has gears vs a cvt, which makes the civic more of an economy car. I wouldn't mind to get this car at all. But, still wanting to see new engines in this car and a return of a manual

That is why I went with the ILX vs. the Civic 1.5T. A few things that Honda did with the 2016 Civic that rubbed me the wrong way. 1) No volume knob on the dash. Yes, I'm old school and I WANT THAT KNOB! 2). CVT. CVT's are good for economy but I prefer the 8 speed DCT. The jury is still out on longevity on CVT's. Plus, the 8 speed DCT that Acura has has a torque converter. 3). No paddle shifters on the Civic (Yeah I know it has a CVT but I would like some control, like when driving mountainous terrain, for example). 4). Steering is too "darty". I love how the 2016 ILX steers. Its quick but not "darty". 5). I like how the ILX rides vs. the new Civic. 6. Analog gauges. I'm not a fan of the new digital instrument cluster that comes with the new Civic (EX and up) Interior wise, I prefer the ILX over the new Cvic, even though some of the technology in the Civic is newer. Only downside with the ILX (to me, anyway) is the lack of Android Auto / Apple Carplay, which I'm sure Acura will have both on the upcoming generation. Fuel economy is actually very good, unless you drive with a heavy right foot.

Hi, I've driven both the 2017 Acura ILX ASpec 8-speed and the 2017 Mazda 3 sedan 6-speed auto. I can't decide between the two for point to point acceleration. I sensed the Mazda 3 is faster from idling rpm to about 30mph and the ILX wins the crown at the end of the line. I can really feel the Mazda push me more back to the seat from stop light. What do you guys think ? Cheers !!

Honda Execs have said the ILX (and current civic), were designed during the global recession and built accordingly. The resulting cars led to an unprecedented lambasting of the Civic (so bad they had to bring the mid model refresh a year after launch, versus 2015 when they planned to launch it). The ILX was derided as cheap, unrefined, and uninspired. The CLA stole all of their thunder and the sales proved it. I'm happy they're at least trying to upgrade the product now, but frankly it's not enough to compete with a car like the A3, which is based on the fabulous new Golf 7. Honda has their work cut out for them for the next Civic, because MQB is the new benchmark.

Does it have a manual mode on the gearbox? And how much does it interfere with the driver? Does it change gear up if you go to the rev limiter?

DCT is generally faster than manual transmission. Humans can't make virtually instantaneous gear shifts like the DCT can

When I first saw the "refreshed" ILX. The frontend immediately reminded me of the older model Toyota Corolla. The rearend is slightly bland without the spoiler (bumpers...ugly). Overall, I think the ILX looked better in '13 and '14.

Hi redline your review are very informative, question for you, I'm looking into buying the 2016 A-spec trim, canada price $35000, a-spec trim offer a lots of safety features, navigation and the 18inch wheel but I also like the 2015 audi a3 1.8 it only has 6speed dual clutch and the price here $32600 and it doesn't offer much things not even a back up camera, if I needed to add all the features it jumps to a difference point, I test drove the A3 1.8 it was good, did not the new ILX. Which car should I go for it,?since I like both, I'm sure you drove both cars which one has a better power train? Which is a better value?
@theredline
@theredline 9 жыл бұрын
Acura is always the better value, but the Audi has a more premium feel to the interior. Acura pretty much matches the tech features but we're big fans of Audi's MMI interface and google maps navigation system. It really comes down to which one you like more, if you love the way the Audi looks and feels, you'll justify the extra cost, but if the Acura feels right for you, we wouldn't fault you for choosing it and enjoying the extra money in your pocket.

Redline Reviews hey Thx for ur reply, which car drove the best? Meaning power train
@theredline
@theredline 9 жыл бұрын
Sean Anand Really hard to say. Both powertrains offer a unique perspective. The Acura's 2.4L is typical "Honda". Smooth, quick to rev, makes a nice VTEC snarl above 5,000 RPM. If you like revving out an engine and the noises it makes at high RPMs, the Acura will be to your liking. The Audi is better low-end torque from its turbo engine, the Acura felt like it pulls hard when you get the revs up but the Audi is a tad quieter and has that traditional solid German feel to it, where the Acura felt lighter and more toy-like in the corners. Test drive both and decide which driving style you like more. Hope that helps!
