Visually, the Acura Integra is attractive to me although for a 2013 model it look slightly dated compared to other makes and models that I looked at. It is very comfortable to sit in and drive and is spacious enough for multiple people on a long trip. The manufacturer recommends premium gas even though the engine is only 150 HP, which I find confusing. It is not a "premium" car but it is decent enough for every day use for the average buyer. It has a sporty feel, which I enjoy, and besides the seat upholstery, the interior of the car looks nice. I have not had any mechanical problems with it at all, and have only taken it to the shop for routine and preventative maintenance. Overall, it is a very safe car and it FEELS safe as well. Acceleration, braking, and handling felt intuitive.

The Acura ILX is a nice car with a lot of pros, and unfortunate a lot of cons. I think the car is really great for its price, considering it includes some luxury car components. However there are some aspects to the car that I do not like and will mention below.
