My 2016 ILX has 327,000, only replaced oil, trans fluid, brakes, battery and tires, adjusted valve clearance once. The car does 0-60 in like 6 seconds today. Best car to own, long term. It probably has served me double of what any other car on the road can serve me, without problems. This car will likely reach many more miles.

The 250 rating is 93 octane with no dilution. I doubt they ran 2-3 tanks of 93 through it before the test, meaning it was def down on power.

The ILX needs about 20HP more and about 30lb ft of torque. Like a Golf GTI specs. Honda really needs to add some more to their next SI and Integra.

Take one curve or corner and you will instantly know where the extra money goes in the Acura. They handle like a dream. How many early 2000's mazdas do you see driving around (maybe a miata but no proteges)? How many old TLs and CL's do you see driving around? Acuras last.

You still don't know how to use this 2.5T engine. First, put on 91 octane at least, using for 2-3 times full tank to let the ECU knows the change, and you HAVE TO use manual shifter to get a later RPM shift point. As a AWD, you have to launch start and build the turbo boost at the same time. By the way, I am live in Ontario, I don't mind to teach you how to drive this car.

By 2-3 times do you mean burn though the fuel? It takes that much for the ECU to realize it’s a higher octane?

Lol, did Sam say "it's fully stock" about the ILX? It's clear he's never paid much attention to the car..and I can see why tbh😂 It's not that it's a bad car, but it is based on the 9th gen Civic that launched in 2012. Yes, that's an old platform wearing newish Acura skin. In any case at minimum it has lowered suspension, different rear spoiler and probably a performance intake/downpipe and likely whatever tune is available for the naturally aspirated 2.4l. Even so that's impressive it kept up that well.

you are also comparing an engine that has been in the car for like 8 years, although the 8 speed DCT is "newer" maybe 5 years old with a new engine to the mazda 3, lets see how the new integra next year compares, hopefully Acura does some homework and sets the standard instead of always being behind the curve

Agreed, the current ILX is based on the Civic Si from 3 (yes, three) generations ago. Acura is only keeping it on the market because it's profitable - even in 2021 it's somehow *still* a top seller in its class (outselling the Audi A3, BMW 2-series, Mercedes A-class). The upcoming Integra will be replacing the ILX next year.

@@TheBreakfastLover its a top seller in its class because its quick, reliable, had a lot of standard tech, quick, handles great and looks the best out of every german competitor. Also its still a honda after all and honda people are loyal so if they had a civic before but want something more luxury they will go straight to acura without even looking at the germans.

The ILX driver deserves to be slap in the face. The drag race you have to hit the paddle shift once so the car launch in the 1st gear otherwise it will launch in 2nd gear. The roll race he should had been in 3rd gear with the revs around 4K. I had beat Mazda 3s before. Just a bad driver.
