For the time being, the 2013 Acura ILX has a lock on this little-lux sedan niche, so if you gotta get a diminutive, fine-finished 4-door today, look no further.
If you think that for a new car to carry a strong whiff of luxury, it needs to have some stretch-out room and standard leather, the ILX is not your first choice. You'll have to go up a size or wai
It would be easy to say that the ILX drives just like a Civic, but truth be told, it doesn't. Although the ILX is small and light like a Civic, its interior layout looks far more sophisticated and the cabin is beefed up to drown out the outside noise, which makes for an overall more pleasant driving experience. The steering effort is light and the ride varies from comfortable to firm depending upon the model. We had the chance to sample all three powertrains the ILX has to offer and came away impressed with all them, each in its own way. Th

"We leased this vehicle out last year a month after going on sale. My wife has been driving it about 56 miles to work and back 5 days a week(yes us Californians with our crazy long commutes). I was skeptical with the advertised mileage at 39/38 city/hwy. But after almost a year it's been hitting that number over and over again! I've managed to squeeze 42 combined sometimes but in my opinion your not driving anymore if your trying to get to those numbers. After the MDX this this is SLOW, but after a civic, this feels rich! It's definitely the best looking hybrid for the price and comfort. Its an Acura and residual value is never a concern. I'm sure future revisions of the ILX will only get better!"

"Used to own a Honda Accord 08 and was sick of paying for 22 MPG. Now i've owned my hybrid for about a month now and I've been getting 40+ MPG! Just took a trip to DC and I was getting around 45 MPG! You just need to know how to drive hybrids to get the best gas mileage. If you are interested in driving more aggressively, turn off ECON, then hit the gas. Has great low-end torque so you can get the car moving quickly! It's pretty comfortable inside. Definitely nothing like a Civic. Looks a lot better than its competitors, the CT200h, Verano, and Fusion. Surprisingly spacious. I definitely wanted to stick with the Japanese Car family because of reliability. I know i'll get that with an Acura. Can't be too sure with Buicks or Fords though... Looking really forward to driving this car for many more years!"
