You know, we've caught a bit of heat from users here on AutoSpies about our criticism of Acura and its parent company, Honda. Even though we've made it clear we WANT the brand to succeed and we just want to see better products, our opponents say we're just out for blood.

Then I guess the other publications are too.

It appears that Consumer Reports recently added a 2016 model year Acura ILX to its fleet of vehicles and the first video the company put out is far from positive. In fact, CR makes a point to say it still "feels cheap."

Considering it's a luxury product set to go up against the likes of the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, that's not exactly good. Granted, it hasn't exactly been a lovefest for those two offerings either.

That said, check out what Consumer Reports has to say in this brief clip that details the publication's findings thus far.


After a rough start, Acura updates their compact ILX sedan. Despite the promise of substantial upgrades, including a new engine and infotainment system, the car still fails to feel luxurious and upscale.
