      @@aab434 Worlds apart yes, but TLX and ILX are made on the same assembly line as Accord and CRV. They produce a lot of Accords then roll through a lot of ILX, sometimes with no gap, one right after the other. Assembly processes are similar, sometimes identical. That being said I'd much rather have an ILX or TLX than an Accord or Civic.

      Just got one too. 8,500 miles when I got it, had one oil change, prior owner couldn’t make payments.
      Fun little car. With a turbo it would be awesome to drive, although the recent Honda turbo gasoline mixing in oil make me worry.
      It is like a luxury civic, fun thing to toss around. My prior car was Pontiac g8 got, had a 6.0 V-8. I miss that car but was it a heavy beast. Totally different driving dynamics. I’d advise everyone to own or lease a big American V-8 and a little 4 banger like this due to driving dynamics being totally different. Life all about trying new things, I’m glad we live in a world where both exist

      The only Acura trend I despise is that for some reason they started hiding exhaust tips on all their vehicles. I got my used infiniti at an acura dealership, and every car on the lot except my Q40 had no tip in the back. I was completely appalled. I asked the salesman and he said they have an environmentalist agenda.

  • @C25A1guy
    @C25A1guy Před 5 lety +85

    As a former tech and now service advisor at Acura, these don't have too many issues. On some ILX's, there's a service bulletin for a TCM update and relearn procedure if the owner is experiencing a hard downshift to 1st gear when slowing down. There's also a driveshaft inspection recall campaign active right now as well. Other than that, about 50k miles per transmission service, but its a fluid change and a reset procedure on the TCM, so it's a bit more on the labor vs the standard .7 hours on the old 6 speed units.

      It all depends on who owned them before. I had a T100 (my first truck) but the previous owner(s) didn't take care of it. However I was able to sell it for cheap at 220000 miles. There was so many problems with it. I just bought an Integral '93 well taken care of and I'm the second owner. Not much goes wrong with the car just give it TLC. If the T100 previous owners took care of the truck I'd still be driving it along side my Integra.

    My 2015 4 cylinder 8 speed TLX has been fantastic and is honestly just as reliable so far as any other Honda product I have owned in the past.. at first I was sceptical about the transmission because the shifts were harsh in cold weather but once you get used to the warm up you don’t even think about it. Other than that I’ve put 60,000kms in the last 2 years and I haven’t had a single issue. The car is totally solid and comfortable. It’s fast and good on gas, the electronic features are excellent and I’ve been spoiled now with this high quality luxury that when I get into a brand new mustang, Audi or even a Mercedes I appreciate how well built my Honda really is. I think it’s the best vehicle choice for a smart all around luxury vehicle

Having driven the 1.6 EL and the Civic of that generation, however, the EL was significantly superior in comfort and driving. Fantastic car.

These cars are the best to own and to drive, especially if you are a new driver, experienced driver or if you are planning to get one for your first vehicle. This is a lot better than a 2006 to 2015 Honda Civic with the 1.8 L four-cylinder engine with 140 horsepower and the five-speed/CVT automatic transmission.
