Worth Trading in 08 TL Type S for ILX
#81
LOL I get compliments all the time on my ILX.. and I even beat up the OEM front lips ... NOOOOOO... DAMN IT... I know people seriously think I'm being a douche when I say it... but I'm serious girls are always like "OHHHH Nice car"... and then dudes too... they'll be like... "That's a nice Acura"... and the best compiments I get? "NICE LEXUS!!" Or "WHOA SICK ASS LEXUS!!" OR "WHOA THATS YOUR TL?!?!" HAhAHAHA
Literally NO ONE ever knows what the hell an ILX is HAHAHAHAHA Sometimes i get TSX or RSX... Its not even a coupe, WTF?

Good to know not everyone thinks this "Every time I pass one on the road I can help but think they bought a overpriced honda civic"

Hopefully the next gen ILX isn't a mini ZDX like the new civic is a mini crosstour.

Your avatar reminds of the the rear end. < i v i >
Isnt' the ILX from the Civic platform? I think its better than the civic if you want my opinion. But anyway, just hope it isn't the 2nd coming of the ZDX.

Whats your thought justnspace. The 2016 Civic Touring is so far above the 2016 ILX in amenities and styling.

I left my Honda dealership job right before the new Civic came out... I din't evene know they made a Touring ... Interesting.. What I REALLY think ids funny tho.. Is Hondata IMMEDIATELY jumped on the turbo motor support... 1) Its a civic, there's a billion on the road 2) they think a lot of people will want to tune it... but its funny... Hondata's youtube video's are so BS... They said that the new Civic turbo is SOO much faster then the past model Civic SI... But they compare a tuned car... to a stock car? WTF? BS Marketing... really serious... The youtube videos also block comments... HMMM wonder why? Maybe because if they are BOTH tuned the difference will be about the same...?

I don't agree with your statement. The Civic is a tremendous value, assuming you get a good deal near invoice price. But the ILX is a slight step up, with it's more powerful drivetrain.
#94
actually... TRUE. But that's not what I meant.. I mean both cars stock... simply adding a new tuner MAP... I really don't think the difference will be that great... Turbo probably would still have the edge... but seriously watch the video... they are so BS...
It's just not true, IMO . The guy says. "Its faster in every condition, every gear..." NAH BRUH... Your car is already tuned, vs a non tuned... NO SHIT its faster!! They never refer to that... Its like a sales tactic... It's called the NO ANSWER... ANSWER... They give you an answer that sounds like they are trying to help... BUT literally omits the real truth...

With that said, I think a properly driven Si would beat a properly driven Civic turbo, stock vs stock. Properly driven means the executing the launch and shifts perfectly. For the Si, that would take more skill. For the Civic Turbo, you just need to floor it, not shifting required.
In terms of tuning though, the 1.5 turbo engine probably has more potential.

Yes more or less what I'd say too. The SI in the video doesn't really appear to be trying to me either... I mean its a rev happy car.. you should be able to hear it when its trying...Like I say... marketing... Hondata believes the Turbo Civic's are gonna be a cash cow for them... They might be right...so they gotta sell, sell, sell

It seems the Si driver didn't go all the way to the redline.
But ya, I can definitely see an agenda from Hondata..lol. There's a bit of exaggeration in the video, but boy, the Civic 1.5T is no slouch, that's for sure! Car and Driver's test shows that the Civic 1.5T has a 1/4 mile trap speed for 94mph. Civic Si is usually around 93-97mph.
For me, I'd like to see what a 6MT 1.5T civic can do.

I have a 2016 ILX Premium. The Civic Touring is the best value with Android/Apple support, 60/40 split, rain sensing wipers, heated rear seats all features you can't get on an ILX. Yet the ILX has to be one of the best deals right now. Just leased a Premium before TTL for $26,260 tons of rebates brought the lease of 24 months 12k a year, nothing down, 1st month paid, everything wrapped in to $354 a month with a $17,578 buyout. In contrast a Touring goes for $25,500 about in NYC before TTL. That minimal $700 or so for a better dealer experience, better warranty, and the 8 speed DCT is worth it. However I really am down that I don't get iOS or Android and rear heated seats. But the one comforting fact is that NO Acura right now offers Android/Apple support.

Just an update on the post. Kept the TLS and gave it away to my pops. Ended up getting the WRX premium edition.

Here's the WRX, pretty much the DD car now.
One day we will be back with Acura once they come back to earth.

Anyway, my little sister is also looking into buying a new car. We shall see what car she chooses. We tested out the Infiniti G37, the interior reminded me of 3G TL, you guys got to check it out. NO JOKE.

You might be right, sad to say.. Googled the 2018 TLX, hopefully it's a RLX.

Good to know having fellow Acuraziner's around the area. Downtown is getting better, they are tearing down some old buildings. The area you see there on the left next to Macy's is going to be a movie theater.
