Acura really had something special with this beautiful car. I love my 17 ILX All they had to do was update the interior and possibly give us more horsepower. This is a flawless car otherwise. Acura frustrates me
But the thing is you have a K series. If you want more horsepower you can get it for dirt cheap with bolt ons or go full Rambo and upgrade your cam and lifters.
For some people, the 2.4 N/A engine and 8 speed DCT alone makes the ILX better than the Integra. Also, the Integra is the first (and only for now) Acura to use the 1.5 turbo. Others use the 2.0 turbo or a V6 in some form.
With the new Integra looking how it does, I'm starting to really see the ILX as just as much of a successor to the DC2 and DC5. Its a bit of a shame they never brought this over to the Asian and European markets sold as a Honda Integra or Accord Euro.
Good point! I had a 95 Integra LS and 07 TL-S. My ‘22 ILX to me is a mix of the two because of the weight/trans/paddle shifters/K24. People forget it’s the same engine trans in a base TLX of the same years. It’s fun to drive.
Pretty sure the Integra is the better vehicle, having been based on a much better Civic. But I do appreciate how Acura did a better job differentiating the ILX from the Civic than with the Integra now. Shame the new Integra didn't have a more Acura-like interior, as well as an 8A/T or 8DCT.
You do realize the ILX is based on the Honda Civic, right? It has a higher displacement naturally aspirated k series engine that has a proven track record of reliability. Whereas the Integra is a 1.5L turbocharged b series engine with unproven levels of reliability. Essentially you are paying more for less with the Integra. It is better to leave one's mouth shut and leave, than open it and remove all doubt.
@@Anonymous______________you do realize he said the integra is based on a better civic platform. Of course the ilx is civic based it was just based on the 12-15 civic. No one even mentioned the engines which btw is a turbo L series not B series. Quit trying so hard
The ILX looks well proportioned than the new Integra. Also for something from 2019, the ILX aged quite well exterior wise. The black color also makes the car more sinister.
A 2019 car should definitely age decently in only 2023. Styling trends havent changed all that much. An ILX looks like a new car to most people on the road, on the exterior at least
Great that you called out the 1.5 L turbo oil dilution issue in the Civic / Integra (and especially the CRV), that alone makes the ILX the long-term winner in my book esp. if buying used. The K-series engine is bulletproof and will easily do 200k miles with regular maintenance.
the issue is supposedly because of the 10,000 mile oil change intervals but people doing 5,000 mile oil changes aren't having much of an issue with this?
Honda is ditching that engine in the Civic for 2025 (the 180hp version) and replacing it with a hybrid that gets 20hp more (a little less than the Si). I think that's a good decision from Honda.
Fun fact: Before the ILX, Acura sold a compact sedan called the CSX which was just an 8th gen Civic with an Acura badge and more features. However they're very rare, it seems they didn't sell so many of them. It would be cool to track one down to review.
I bought a 2022 Acura ILX w/ Aspec Premium & Technology in Platinum White Pearl w/ black leather and microsuede inserts. The red was a bit bright for my taste. I bought this car in March of 2021 and got it for a steal. Dealer MSRP, with only $500 extra for the Platinum White Pearl paint, mudguards, and 20% tint all around was $35,955. I got the car OTD, with tax and destination and dealer fees for $30,700. I love the car, got a great deal, 0.9% for 48 months through Acura Financial Services. I definitely agree that Acura made a mistake dumping a CVT into the new 2023 Integra. They should have carried over the 8-DCT from the ILX and paired it with the 1.5T engine. Plus, the K24 engine in the ILX will outlive that 1.5T. Too small displacement, too much PSi boost=disaster. Same thing with the CR-V 1.5T with even more boost. I was servicing my 22 ILX a month ago down here in Orlando at an Acura dealership and at first they couldn’t get them in, but now all the salesman are saying they can’t get rid of them. You should see how many they have.
I have the 2021. It's a nice little car and definitely gets a lot of looks. The interior is very dated but you overlook it due to how well the car is made.
As a lover of things simple, this car easily shows how simplicity wins everytime. The K24 engine is known to outlive an apocalypse while the 8spd DCT is known to outlive a plague during the same time, Acura dropped the ball with the CVT & 1.6T engine but, an argument can be made to just get the manual. I never thought id see myself owning one, but after researching these little cars and how reliable they are, it seems more enticing to own one.
Back in Jan 2022 I bought 22 ILX Aspec could of bought integra but decided to get ILX because of 2.4L engine, which is about mid size sedan now days,for civic it was bargain. Drove 20K miles so far nothing but an oil change.😅
After their misstep with the beak Acura got it's styling together, maybe too much. This is almost indistinguishable from the new Integra and the rest of Acura's sedans. The inside looks like an Infiniti though. It's a warmed over Civic because Honda knew a replacement was on the way.
It’s funny you brought up the “beak” “shield” grills of the late 00’s early 10’s. I remember people hated those cars but I think they aged well. Plus the TL came with a 3.7L V6 SH-AWD and the TSX came in a wagon. Very rare and nice to see nowadays!
Zack, was considering submitting my Acura for review if you'd be interested. I have the RLX, which is the larger, more luxurious version of this car. It's really just a rebadged Honda Legend, which of course they don't sell here. The RLX is relatively rare, Acura didn't sell many of them here.
I almost bought a 2015 ILX with the manual but it sold before I could get too it. It only had 60k miles and was in very good condition but the dealer was asking 16k and this was back in 2021
Just bought a mint 19k mile '22 ILX A-spec, from a dealer, for $25k. Has a 4 year/100k mile bumper-to-bumper warranty (2 more years of the factory plus 2 more years up to 100k CPO warranty). Love the looks, it's fun to drive, decently quick when you need it and gets great gas mileage... What else can you buy that has all that at that price plus that warranty?
I actually like the basic and clean interior a lot more aesthetically pleasing than some of the new cars with that big screen that’s just sitting there
Man the 07-08 TL Type S was way ahead of it's time. This is from 2019 and it still directly rips off that Type S's style even though this is just a A-spec trim level of the ilx. Everything from the gauge cluster to the steering wheel to the heated seat controls scream 07-08 TL Type S
Yes! I had an 07 TL-S and and now have a ‘22 ILX. It reminds me so much of that car but the 07-08 TL-S is top 5 Acuras ever made IMO. I should of never traded in the 07 TL-S I’d be driving it to this day. J35 was a great engine.
I’ve owned both in the last year. I traded the Ilx for the integra. The ilx might have had the worst suspension ever. Driving over 60 mph would make the car shake. New integra might not have that engine but the structure of the car is much better. I enjoy my integra much more. It also gets close to 40 mpg on the highway.
Never experienced that car shaking issue at those speeds, and I consistently go over 60 on the highways. 85mph +, yes, I feel it. Definitely not just over 60.
I test drove an ILX the other day and I really wanted to like it but yes it's ride left a lot to be desired. My old 02 RSX rides better and that's on old tired suspension. Minus the interior the handling and ride quality it felt worse that an LX civic. Steering was numb as well
The two screens makes sense if you have Sirius XM. If you do, you'll love the two screens setup. Sirius/XM on the bottom and Android Auto / Apple Carplay on the top. It's works perfectly in that situation.
Good point! Apple/android auto will be connected up top screen for maps, etc. using cable. Passenger can connect to lower screen via Bluetooth to control the jams even without Sirius XM. Me and the wifey do that daily. People bitch and moan about the 2 screen layout but will miss it in a few years like I miss the 3.7L SH-AWD TL and the wagon TSX.
@@jonathantaone7363 I've never used it like that. Supposse I could give kids control of the radio via Bluetooth with one of their phones, and still have my phone running the top screen. That's kind of brilliant if it works.
I know it might seem weird but I kind of like the dual screen setup on these. I like it better than the interior of the new integra since it’s just a slightly altered civic interior.
The Integra is objectively trash compared to the ILX. Sure, the technology and interior are dated compared to the Integra but the drivetrain and price more than pay for itself if you plan on keeping this car past it's warranty.
The tires need to be inflated a bit. They appear to be a little low when you were going through the screen located between the tachometer and speedometer.
I would take the ILX over the Integra any day. In fact, I drove the Integra before I bought my Forte GT and preferred the Forte over it. The Acura was quieter inside and had a few better interior materials, but I liked the way the Forte drove better and it has more stuff for 10 grand less. If they had a leftover ILX A-Spec I may have went for that over the Forte.
Question for you ILX Aspec guys.. I have the 2021 ILX Aspec for 2 years now.. I know it is supposed to have some diff kind of trans? but.. mine makes a slight knock noise when I hit the gas from a standstill.. doesn’t do it through all the gears! But if I slow and hit the gas lightly again I get that knock! never had a car do that before… it is a lease but the buyout next year is pretty low considering ( 17,000.) I will prob only 24000 miles by then so.. does the transmission have a problem? I have 16000 miles now.. no other problems.. Thank you!
Acura Dealer tells me that is a typical noise and Acura isn’t going to do anything about it? the noise has 22000 miles on it and no other symptoms? I have 3 months left on the lease and was thinking of buying it out at $17000. plus tax but I will go to another dealer for last oil and have thrm check what you said.. thanks
Love that old school atmosphere. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I bet it’ll outlast the new Integra. You my young friend sound like a spoiled techno head.
Hahaha, I had to laugh. Yes I agree that everyone talks about tech way too much, heck any tech almost gets "outdated" in a few years anyways. I just bought a 2019 ILX Aspec and something I was excited about was it still has a CD player. I bought the car for the engine and transmission, could care less how the tech is. But going from a 20 year old 2004 civic to a 2019 ILX with only 18K miles is quite the luxurious change for me lol.
I love the look and hatch of the new Integra, but its powertrain and performance just aren't worth it priced $34-38K. I think a well maintained ILX or even a Mazda 3 are tempting alternatives.
@davinp true, but most of them aren't CVTs. The Mercedes-Benz CLA and A class, Cadillac CT4, Audi A3 and A4, Mazda 3 all have either torque converter automatics or dual clutch automatics.
@@FrankOsman I guess it goes for that too, they're identical therefore they have the same faults. I shoulda wrote it in the original comment but these 1.5T's suffer from excessive oil consumption after 35-60k miles and in rarer cases; the turbo blowing due to oil starvation, which could damage the engine as well. they're shoving way too much boost into a tiny engine with rods thinner than the ones found in the 30 year old d16
@@Womendontexist this is why I pretty religiously change my oil every 3,000 miles. I’ve put 12,000 miles on my Integra in the last 3 months, so I’ll see if it starts burning oil in not too long. I’ve driven the car quite hard.

TLX is bigger and offers a V6
TLX also has a noticeably nicer interior. If you sit in them back to back the differences become apparent.
Toyota and other manufacturers are also going with CTV, so you don't have much of choice in tranmissions
The Integra is the only entry in its segment that has a CVT...even worse, it's standard. You have to pay extra to get the manual transmission.
