IDK about you, but I've been in the car business for a very long time and let me tell you this honestly. I've come across far fewer bad Hondas than Toyotas or any other car you can think of. I my opinion, Honda is the MOST reliable car manufacturer there is.

I have the pleasure of fixing Hondas and Acura’s everyday for work and the most engine work you’ll do on a Honda is a symbol 4 routine maintenance valve adjustment timing belt and water pump other then that you might have to throw some rings on a v6 here and there but nothing to major

[@2hardbackrub743]

@@aab434 Worlds apart yes, but TLX and ILX are made on the same assembly line as Accord and CRV. They produce a lot of Accords then roll through a lot of ILX, sometimes with no gap, one right after the other. Assembly processes are similar, sometimes identical. That being said I'd much rather have an ILX or TLX than an Accord or Civic.

I had a 2018 ILX as a loaner car for a couple days. Scotty is right, these are great drivers! Personally, I'd rather have a V6 like in the TLX, but this 4-cylinder is still peppy!

[@C25A1guy]

As a former tech and now service advisor at Acura, these don't have too many issues. On some ILX's, there's a service bulletin for a TCM update and relearn procedure if the owner is experiencing a hard downshift to 1st gear when slowing down. There's also a driveshaft inspection recall campaign active right now as well. Other than that, about 50k miles per transmission service, but its a fluid change and a reset procedure on the TCM, so it's a bit more on the labor vs the standard .7 hours on the old 6 speed units.

[@Roarman57]

Damn Honda just can’t get away from the tough first gear😂 I love my hondas👍

[@Pabs1]

Dean Chen mine is closing in on the 50k in a couple of years, thanks for this valuable ingo

[@darknightbegins85]

Just got one too. 8,500 miles when I got it, had one oil change, prior owner couldn’t make payments. Fun little car. With a turbo it would be awesome to drive, although the recent Honda turbo gasoline mixing in oil make me worry. It is like a luxury civic, fun thing to toss around. My prior car was Pontiac g8 got, had a 6.0 V-8. I miss that car but was it a heavy beast. Totally different driving dynamics. I’d advise everyone to own or lease a big American V-8 and a little 4 banger like this due to driving dynamics being totally different. Life all about trying new things, I’m glad we live in a world where both exist

It all depends on who owned them before. I had a T100 (my first truck) but the previous owner(s) didn't take care of it. However I was able to sell it for cheap at 220000 miles. There was so many problems with it. I just bought an Integral '93 well taken care of and I'm the second owner. Not much goes wrong with the car just give it TLC. If the T100 previous owners took care of the truck I'd still be driving it along side my Integra.

[@frenchstick245]

My 2015 4 cylinder 8 speed TLX has been fantastic and is honestly just as reliable so far as any other Honda product I have owned in the past.. at first I was sceptical about the transmission because the shifts were harsh in cold weather but once you get used to the warm up you don’t even think about it. Other than that I’ve put 60,000kms in the last 2 years and I haven’t had a single issue. The car is totally solid and comfortable. It’s fast and good on gas, the electronic features are excellent and I’ve been spoiled now with this high quality luxury that when I get into a brand new mustang, Audi or even a Mercedes I appreciate how well built my Honda really is. I think it’s the best vehicle choice for a smart all around luxury vehicle

yalman32 agreed k boosted motors are beasts

[@cebastienlarochelle8182]

yalman32 i think they’re the best in every way (performance, reliability, fuel efficiency, etc...) it’s the best engine in my opinion, 2.0,2.4 or even the 2.3 turbo, they’re all great, efficient, and reliable cars!

These cars are simply beautiful, one of the best naturally aspirated Engines with 4wd torque vectoring. Car is a dream and literally a sleeper that does not get the attention it deserves...

Hopefully the Acura Type S lineup won’t disappoint. After seeing the concept model, I’m optimistic.

[@elusivellama]

I'm hyped for the TLX Type-S

[@gregsolovieff6711]

elusivellama wanna know if it has SHAWD, or if can get it with SHAWD.

[@elusivellama]

Acura said the turbo V6 motor will be paired with SH-AWD. Google Acura Type-S, the announcement was from Jan or Feb 2018.

[@ATaveras]

You think it will come with a 6 speed? I have an 08’ TLS with a manual

[@Torntopieces87]

Its Acura's first compact sedan in the US, here in Canada we had the CSX and before that the 1.7 EL. Both were even closer to the civic than the ILX. I own a CSX, great car!

[@azaz911c]

Actually, before the 1.7 EL, Canada also had the 1.6 EL for model years 1997-2000. People always said "it's just a Civic", since they were both built on the same platform on the same assembly line in Ontario. Having driven the 1.6 EL and the Civic of that generation, however, the EL was significantly superior in comfort and driving. Fantastic car.

Yeah but what's wrong with it tho....I can sense there's a complaint there ...cause I've been looking at these cars....there seems to be a lot of this particular make on sale and I'm wondering why?

Jonathan Sanchez never had a problem so far yet thank god. I had a 05 Acura TL base model and with 288k miles before I sold it to get a Type-S. It shifted great still.

[@reaganl.5113]

I had an 08' Acura TSX, best handling car I have EVER driven...it was on the Accord chassis with similar motor as ILX has now. I brought it up to 135mph one evening on some new asphalt...smooth as glass. It was phased out by blending it with their TL model, now they offer the TLX which I hear is another amazing handling car.

@Lucas Cruz lol yea i know yer messing with me but i did ask my wife (because we where laughing about it) and she confirmed that the part of the building that makes this is full of meatheads becauuse of how fast paced its supposed to be happening they cant get "smart" people to be able to keep up physically. aparently they have something like 20 seconds for each process, so that plus meatheads + falling bumpers lol.

[@bahamter]

Good video. Now I can show this to my son and say "this is why we buy you an Acura ILX instead of a Civic Type R for celebrating your university offer. It's a better and sportier car. Everyone at the university will agree." He will totally agree with us and I can't wait to see his happy face!

Finally you talk about my car! I have the 2014 ILX Hybrid! Good thing you approve of my car.

Ive got an ILX- I LOVE IT.

[@pumarealtor]

I bought my first Acura in 2000. It was a '97 RL. Still driving it to work everyday with nearly 300K miles. No major issues. Only maintenance was oil change, spark plugs, filters, tires, batteries, fluids, brakes, etc. as recommended. Still runs great, and will probably run for a few more years before I get a replacement. May be I'll get a 2022 RL in 2025?

[@FrYLocK41]

Get a used 2017 Acura TLX 2.4 engine base model under 50k miles. White on white with a clean carfax and 2 owners maximum. I guarantee you it will give you maximum value.

[@originaltruths2305]

@@FrYLocK41 why white on white and why not the v6 lmao

[@FrYLocK41]

@@originaltruths2305 You can get any color you like, I just prefer white because it's cooler during the summers. I rather get the i4 engine because it's more gas efficient and 210 HP is plenty enough for me. Unless you're trying to race people then by all means get the V6.

[@devon_lol]

from what Ive seen the RLX has a lot of issues

[@chadillac171]

Speaking from ownership, the car is very light and fast. Although, the transmission is kinda gimmicky. Goodluck to anyone who gets this car. I would not have another one.
