2016 Acura ILX is a rewarding driver's car - New York Daily News

The aggregate average of everything from teenagers’first cars to celebrities’umpteenth fleet purchase has crept quietly above $30-grand barrier over the last several years—making it difficult for automakers to deliver both high value and high... Witness the entry-level luxury market, and cars like the Mercedes-Benz CLA and Audi A3, as responses to luxury now concerned with the bottom line. The timing is remarkable, as Acura introduces a mid-cycle refresh to its ILX sedan for the 2016 model year. The ’16 ILX continues that tradition, with tweaks subtle and significant that make it an even better car to live with and drive. Starting with the exterior, which comes into sharper focus with revised headlights and taillights, the ILX now heavily reflects the styling of the larger TLX. Importantly, Acura left the working details alone, adding sound deadening and more refined materials while keeping the structure we liked intact. Combined, the details effect the feel of a mature sport sedan—perhaps too mature for its intended customer—that needs to be driven to understand the full effect of its character.
