ILX

At first glance, the 2022 Acura ILX looks like a cost-effective choice among luxury sedans. It has a high-end appearance and an attractive starting price. But on closer inspection, you will find that this Acura's smallest sedan is just a replacement version of the previous generation Honda Civic, and the standard list is not attractive enough. Its infotainment system is seriously outdated and lacks the sporty driving quality that this level should have. Fortunately, the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine has good fuel economy and is smooth and comfortable to drive. However, if you want neighbors and friends to truly impress, more modern small luxury cars like the Audi A3, the BMW 2-Series four-door coupe and the Mercedes-Benz A-Class are worth the extra money. Otherwise, the new 2022 Honda Civic can bring a higher price/performance ratio for the same money.
