Luxury Subcompact Sedans

摘要

Although it's still based on the previous Civic platform, the ILX is reasonably entertaining. Acura's entry-luxe car enjoys tight and agile handling; tossing it around corners is a pleasure. Zippy, naturally aspirated acceleration is aided by a smart dual-clutch automatic that shifts faultlessly for power on demand or efficient cruising. A smooth and quiet ride isn't sacrificed for sportiness, and well-bolstered front seats keep occupants in place. There's generous legroom up front, but certain drivers might not fit, as the curving roofline impedes headroom. Without split-folding back seats, versatility is reduced, and its button-riddled center console and dual-display infotainment are needlessly complex. We'll have to wait for the next-gen version for a Type S.
