I confess, I don't really think about it. I believe I had a few thoughts about it back in 2009.

literally a civic for those who dont want to be seen in a civic. still a decent car though

I got one. I like it. It's not really a Civic (although the 2016 Civic gets a hell of a lot closer to the ILX than the 2015 model did).

Main advantage is they threw the TLX engine in the 2016 ILX because of how fucking awful the older ILX engine was.

It's got a decent value/price ratio. You're kidding yourself if you think it's anything other than entry-level luxury but for the price compared to other entrants you get a hell of a lot (a similarly spec'd A3 would be ~38k).

Pros:
* Good enough engine
* Reliable as fuck
* Nice safety features if you're into that
* You can make fun of Tesla fanboys because you have pretty much the same autopilot features they do for $50k less
* Decent interior
* Honestly doesn't look all that much like a civic (I've had them side by side, there are pretty big differences in the body)
* Pretty good handling
* Surprisingly nice sound system (if you get the tech package)
* Price

Drawbacks:
* Premium only because muh compression ratio
* Split screen navigation/control screens takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it is actually kind of nice
* Some of the interior parts were clearly taken from the Civic
* No brake hold
* FWD only
* If you care, automatic only

Why would you be jealous of an obviously inferior car?

>Seat scooted so far up
Hope she doesn't get in a wreck

>>13959197
I'd drive that, as long as it's kept clean.

I don't care how bizarre someone's design tastes are; I'd rather ride in a a tacky car than a dirty car.

>>13959232
Dirty cars are awesome, kill yourself wallstreet

I kinda miss when neon and that shit was cool.

Heisenberg. And because we both know who wears the pants in this relation ship.. bitch.

>>13959096
are you serious?
Please say you're trolling the people who love "boomer tier" carbs...

>>13959096
fuel injection and carburetors make really close to the same peak hp, fi just helps for under the curve. EFI probably makes less hp in this instance due to to runner length and intake manifolds.

>>13959096
at WOT, carbs, SFI and BFI all are basically just dumping fuel as fast as they can. There is no real improvement in ideal testing conditions going EFI or carb. There is also the theory that venturi effect can create better atomization at a specific flow rate, compared to forced injection of the fuel. But it is such a small span that its never worth arguing over.

in general, Carb over EFI is not going to really matter for power. It will affect the DD ability of the car without retuning. And the carb obviously gets worse economy vs the same motor with better fuel delivery control under just normal driving.

what do you want one for, first bike? not a good idea even if you are license restricted. dick around second bike? great.

Got this one a few years back for my garage. I like it. The 30" deep drawers are really nice. Always been a fan of the stereotypical British racing green.

The PI and Snap-on torque wrenches are identical. I've used a PI 1/2 for 4-5 years now, no complaints at all.

i throw all my tools on the ground or in open boxes
lmao at people who spend more time and money on stupid shit than actually wrenching

Well. It's not AS ugly.

when you think things can't get worse. Bugatti makes a new car.

For some reason, this thing just looks fed up with it's competators. I feel like it would just be mumbling under it's breath all the time.

Lesson 1.
FWD and RWD don't matter, it's preference
