Acura
Established in 1986, Acura is the luxury and performance division of the Japanese automaker Honda. In its first few years, it was one of the best-selling luxury car brands in the United States. Its first flagship was the Legend sedan, introduced in 1986 and discontinued in 1995 in North America. Also debuting in 1986 was the Integra hatchback, which retired three years later. In the early 2000s, the company released its first crossover SUV, the MDX, and it remains popular.

The automaker builds most of its cars at its Ohio manufacturing plants. Its vehicles are known for their reliability. In fact, the brand earned a 4.0 out of 5.0 reliability rating from RepairPal, ranking Acura second out of 32 automakers. The cost to maintain an Acura car varies depending upon the model and driving history, but owners can anticipate spending an average of $501 per year.

Popular models include the MDX, RDX, NSX, TLX, and TL.

Owners Are Not Happy With This Acura ILX Model Year

The ILX also does not provide a lot of luxury touches you might expect, particularly in terms of the infotainment system, which many have labeled "embarrassing." As with most cars, some model years are better than others. This also means some are worse than others. The 2013 Acura ILX falls into that latter category.

The 2022 Acura Integra Could Be a Re-Badged Honda Civic Type R and That’s Ok

Shared platform architecture isn't exactly a new idea. Automakers have been doing it for years. Just look at both generations of the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86. Or the new Supra. Or any number of early 2000s GM vehicles. And if I were a betting man, I'd say that's exactly what'll become of the 2022 Acura Integra.
