Yeah, ridiculous that 150 hp and a 5-speed automatic is pitted up against 207 hp and 6-speed DSG.

The ILX R20 offers plenty of fluff but delivers zero punch when you step on the gas pedal.


You just don't get it. The 2.0L ILX is a commuter car for someone who wants a vehicle that is nicer inside and out than a Civic.

This is not a car that is supposed to deliver punch. It's supposed to deliver fuel economy, which it does quite well against the competition from VW and Buick.

Comparing the base 2.0L ILX with the top-trip Jetta GLI is ridiculous. You're comparing the mainstream trim with the sport trim. That's like bitching about a Corolla LE because it can't keep up with a Civic Si.
