Otherwise, the all-new Honda Civic offers better bang for the same amount of bucks. Acura's smallest model rolls into the new year with no changes. The ILX is one of the best deals among subcompact luxury sedans. We think that value is optimized with the optional Premium package, which adds leather upholstery, upgraded infotainment features, and more driver assists.
The A-Spec package may give the illusion of enhanced performance, but the kit only supplies superficial improvements that aren't worth the dough. The sole powertrain is a hp four-cylinder with front-wheel drive mated to a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. The engine revs easily and although the ILX isn't the quickest car in its class, its character makes us pine for the VTEC-powered Honda and Acura sedans from years gone by.
Handling is poised and confident, but not particularly memorable; road and wind noise permeate the cabin here more than in rivals such as the Audi A3 or the Mercedes-Benz A-class, especially at highway speeds. Still, the smallest Acura sedan has excellent brake-pedal feedback.
The ILX earns fuel-economy ratings of 24 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway—competitive with front-wheel-drive versions of the A3 and A-class. Over our mph highway fuel-economy route, the ILX delivered exactly what its window sticker said it would: 34 mpg.
