Stopped by dealership to get a few parts for the wife's ilx.

Walked out out with a 2017 premium in bellonova white.

They taking the 13' back with no penalties and the best part is the lease payments are the same.

0% interest rate too

should be taking delivery in the coming weeks

Thanks homie

Picked it up this morning, it's pretty much feels like an entire new car coming from the 13' base.

It's got a bit of a exhaust note too, not too bad actually.

I really like that they included the Blindspot Information System and Cross Traffic Monitor system in this model.

A remote starter is now included as well.

I'm really impressed thus far....

The 8spd is smooth like butter.

deleted the stock 8" subwoofer and replaced it with a JL10W0v3 and a MB Quarts 600W mono amp.

Install the very straight forward, the hardest part was fishing the powerwire through the firewall.

Very nice...
having experienced a JL, I can tell you I bet it hits hard!
Does anyone make a custom side enclosure like uncald4?
I couldn't believe how well the sub hit when it was pointed at the rear trunk from the side. So much free space too!

The stock sub is a joke, I have it dialed in just right and it does hit pretty good.

It was a pleasant surprise, I didn't even know until I got my key and saw the "Engine" button

I think they are 18x8

The Teins were awesome, they didn't feel that much stiffer compared to stock. I also didn't slam it too low so driving around town wasn't too bad. If you are in the market for coilovers and don't want a harsh ride, I strongly recommend these (Street Advance)

Too bad they don't fit the 16+

Beautiful cars, OP. So how many cars do you actually have now? Do you still have the Audi?

yeah I'm wondering about that too. I bought my 2016 Acura ILX and so far I'm loving it after 22,000 miles. I'm looking into getting the Acura TLX in the future however I want to pay this car off and keep it and give it to my wife. She's OK with me giving her my ILX and me getting a new TLX Or a BMW 340i series if we PCS to Germany. but when you compare features with the echo TLX on a BMW, the Acura TLX offers so much features for the money and it's about $10,000 less despite the fact that you don't have a BMW badge. I feel the Acura offers a lot in features of course the BMW may have many creature comforts of its own I think the Acura TLX will satisfy my needs as well as having a bigger car is nice

Hey fellas, still got the Audi. I seem to have to worst luck with euro cars. My previous Saab was nothing but problems
after problems and I still kept it forever. My Audi was recently in for a new transmission, it took 2 months for the parts to arrive and install. It runs like new again but worried about once I'm out of warranty. Having said that, I may sell it in the future for a Lexus GS. Been eyeing that car for a while and grows on me more every time I see one on the road.

I also love the new MDX, we are having another kid soon so I need the extra room.

You cant go wrong with the new TLX, I really love the refresh they did.

Great cars, only time i've had to taken it to the dealer was for the headlight recall on the 13'. Pretty amazing reliability.

The 17' has 20k after 1 year, again problem free. The DCT is true blast to drive in manual mode, it's one of the best dct's i've personally driven.

The ILX's has treated us well. Not a single problem. I was going to just buy it out because it has very low kms buy my sales manager offered me a deal I couldn't refuse.

Picked this up, unbelievable that I'm paying less than what I was paying for the ilx!!!
