The first car I had was a 89' Honda civic wagon. It was the ugliest brown color you would have seen at that time, but the cabin space surprisingly sufficient. I hauled a lot of things in that car and then eventually when I got my dog he made the back seat his so now one wanted to go near the back. i decided to let it go and now just own a 1997 Acura EL. I've been looking at the ILX for a while now and even test drove it. Just waiting for my fiance to come back and make the approval. then I'll have more input about the ILX like you guys.
