Sweet car! I considered an ILX when I was looking around last fall but ended up going CPO with an 08 TL. However, I would keep an ILX in mind the next time around (which might not be for a long time given my ownership habits).

Driving in the snow feels solid.

Winter this season was nuts, and the ilx never had me stranded or left behind.

Feel sorry for all them 100k rwd cars struggling to get up a small hill

Congrats on your new purchase.

Did you get the Hybrid? I'm confused about your wheels, they are for the Hybrid I thought?

Lookin' good, aksilx! The ILX is one of those cars that looks particularly good in darker colors (says the owner of a white one, LOL.)

In the U.S. The base comes with the same 17" wheels as the tech and only the Hybrid with the ones you got. Weird, I never realized it would be different like that.

She's a beauty either way though...djc.

really? I thought they started doing that in 2014's but I could be wrong.

17's would be nice but I dont mind 16's, cheaper when I buy new tires......

Correct, in 2013 the base 2.0 had the 16's.

Been a min... Still going strong. Not a single problem other then the headlight recall.

Keeping the Saab on ice. Got big plans in the spring.
