Acura ILX 2016 Review - 3 years later - The Dual Clutch Civic Si for Everyone
Hello everyone,
today, i decided to review my daily driver, the Acura ILX 2016. If you want one today, they are pretty cheap, try to get the 2016+ because you get the 8 speed automatic, the 2.4L K24 engine (same as the honda civic SI engine) and the jewel LED headlights. I won't talking much about the performance because everyone does already but i will talk about the experience being a daily driver. The car can be bought for under 16000-17000$ CAD and it is fully equipped or for the same price, you will get a base model Mercedes-Benz c class or bmw 3 series that will cause you problems down the road and you won’t even have projectors. Even my dad’s Toyota Corolla 2017 has LED projectors come on! Don’t buy a car for its badge but buy it for it’s value!
(+)Great fuel economy
(+)Decent power
(+)Reliability (K24 engine)
(+)Fast shifting transmission
(+)LED Jewel Headlights
(+)Cheaply priced in used
(+)Cheap tires (17 inches)
Negatives:
(-)Acura Infotainment system SUCKS

(-)Loud cabin noise, bad isolation (Low quality isolation like the civic)
(-)Heavy & Ugly key fob (no idea what they were thinking)
(-)Not spacious (same size as a honda civic)
