Performance 2013 Acura ILX Reviews

Performance 7.0 of 10

With three different powertrains available in the 2013 Acura ILX, it includes a variety of performance characteristics, although underlying each chassis is balanced, relatively light which makes the most desired tuning, be it comfort or sport.

ILX base model is powered by a 2.0L engine 2.0-liter four-cylinder rated at 150 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque. Default is paired with a five-speed automatic transmission with paddle-shifters mounted on the steering wheel. While rowing add an element of fun, and even control in passing situations, the overall attitude 2.0L relaxed and comfortable - not encouraged to push the boundaries or explore the ability of the road, let alone the drivetrain. That said, it is strong enough for everyday tasks, while returning a respectable 24 mpg city and 35 mpg highway.

The 2.4L ILX is the sportiest variant, the Civic Si 2.4-liter, 201 horsepower four-cylinder engine under the hood. No automatic transmission option is available with the 2.4L--it's a six-speed manual only. Like the new Civic Si, 2.4L ILX's power is available through a relatively wide range, but it does not have much in the way of character, and even more in the way of low-end punch or mid-range, and as a result feels a little out of place in factor Another form of ILX's relaxed. Suspension is the same as the rest of the lineup in 2.4L ILX, and it's not as sharp as we'd like in spirited driving this machine. That said, it does not iron out the bumps in the roads quite well, while returning 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway.

Finally, there ILX Hybrid, which gets 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and integrated electric hybrid system routed through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Gas mileage ratings, per the EPA, only 39 mpg city and 38 mpg highway, placing it firmly mid-pack among the alternatives. Combined power output of 111 horsepower, however, ILX Hybrid left feeling flat, and can sometimes be too little for comfort, such as joining the fast-flowing traffic. It's comfortable, but not fun to drive, especially with the ultra-conservative Eco mode engaged.
