Overview
The 2013 Acura ILX is a compact sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $25,900. For that price, it mainly competes with the Buick Verano Sedan, the Mazda 3 Sedan, and the Subaru Impreza Sedan. Between 3 trims, the ILX offers 4 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.0L inline-4 capable of making 150 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque that comes mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. If more power is required, there is also a 201 horsepower-making 2.4L inline-4 engine that is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The ILX reaches 60 mph from zero in 9.0 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 7.1 seconds with the 2.4L engine. Depending on the powertrain, the ILX can manage a combined fuel economy of between 25 and 28 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 10 striking colors the ILX comes in really pull you towards itself.
