I picked up a 2014 ILX this past weekend brand new, black on black with the 6 speed. I really like the car so far, and I'm glad Honda/Acura is sticking to their NA roots with a short gearbox, and quality drivetrain/motor setup.
I really hope this isn't a forum where people just complain about how Acura should change this or that. I've had a lot of experience rebuilding and modifying cars in the past. Maybe its just me, but I really like the ILX the way it is. Not really looking to make too many if any changes on this car.
I wanted a clean car that makes sense, gets great gas mileage, is mechanically strong, and something new that I could treat well and get at least 200k miles out of. Also feels good to be the 3% still rocking the manual, love this 6 speed gearbox.
So far I'm very happy with my purchase, and doing my best to make sure this motor gets a proper break-in.
