I like that is so easily adjustable to change the brightness on the screen.
I absolutely love my ILX. Between the heated seats (which I have never had before) and the sunroof it accommodates for any weather! I love driving the car I am sport mode as well! It is super quick! I have the black car with blue speckle paint and it is so beautiful in the sunlight. This is the first Acura I have owned and I plan to continue to use Acura and recommend it to anybody I know looking to purchase / lease a vehicle.

The ILX is a comfortable, safe, enjoyable vehicle.
Very comfortable seats, drives smoothly, the technology package has a lot of great features including apple car play & navigational system. Most of the features in the car are completely customizable- screen displays, lighting, colors, etc. The car is very safe and provides updates on things like tire pressure, mileage, oil levels, etc. Features are easy to use and understand.

I like my led lights they look better than most cars at night because.
I have not had many problems with my card, I did get into an accident and a lose screw came off but that is about it. That is it I haven’t needed anything fixed or any parts of any kind. I have a three year lease on my car which is almost up and I hope to trade it in for a brand new 2021 next year.

It is a fast moving car that is reliable in every situation.
It is a good running car with a lot of upgraded features. It is one of the best cars I have had. I do not worry about it breaking down and I can travel with the car very long distances with no issues at all. It is very comfortable and the car is just amazing and I love it.

Best vehicle ever owned in my entire life.
My vehicle is one of the best vehicles I have ever driven in my entire life. It has good performance, roomy trunk space, plenty of legroom, and plenty of space for the kids. It holds groceries and furniture as well as many passengers. The car drives smooth and I feel greatly that it is one of the safest cars on the automotive market right now. Overall I would definitely recommend anyone shopping for a car to really check out this Acura, it is definitely worth the money and definitely worth your time. Thank you for letting me voice my opinion about this incredible vehicle.

Check engine great car besides that.
The check engine light is always on and that is it really cannot seem to fix but other than that it is a great running car and the wheel is loose control but I love the interior beside the check engine light it is a great car no complaints so I would say get the car.

A properly running vehicle

accountCircle Anais L
Comfortable and affordable.
The car is really nice but I think it could be a little stronger. The gasoline goes always really fast. But the car is really safe and comfortable. It is a new model so everything is really modern and electronic. I would really recommend this card it is affordable and comfortable.
accountCircle Kayla C
It is durable and reliable.
It can be too compact at times. I desire more space. My AC tends to go out. I desire a bigger truck like vehicle.
accountCircle Marlyn G
The headlight of the car I believe it makes the body of the car look nice.
The car is not comfortable, the car is not big enough when I travel with a lot of people. But I do think it is a beautiful car. I have the car in black but I would have preferred the car in white. I also do not like the current rims, I would like to change the rims on the car to make it look more sporty.
accountCircle Jonah R
The car drives very comfortably.
The Acura ILX is a nice car, but not luxurious. The interior is compact and small, my 9 yr old daughter complains that it was cramped in the back seat. The Bluetooth is not great, most of the time my phone conversations are garbled. I have had lower end cars with clearer quality. The USB port is not reliable for charging or connecting to car.
accountCircle Flo L
Interior color and heated leather seats are nice!
Small storage, leg room in the back or passenger seat, very low. For the price (base) not worth it, sensitive steering wheel, it is a bit noisy while driving the highway. Overall its ok, not too impressed but I like the design on exterior and leather heated seats.
accountCircle John T
Smooth driving decent car, slightly better Honda.
The car is really basic. It is one of those average compact cars and dries smooth. The performance is decent and the car is semi-comfortable. It does not have any distinguishable features but the car was pretty good value. A good way to sum it up is a 'luxury Honda.'.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Bethany S.

It felt super natural to drive, even the very first time I sat down. Looks nice inside and out, has good safety features. Love the black leather with white trim. Two screens are cool, sound system is good.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Bethany S.

Kind of a narrow back seat. My mom has bad knees and it is hard for her to get into the passenger seat because it sits pretty low. It is not hybrid or ev. I always have a hard time figuring out how to get cruise control going.
