2013 AcuralLX Mike Flovd

摘要

If you've been following our Motor Trend Garage updates, you know that each chap-erone spends a lot of quality time in one car. So the bulk of my drive days in L.A. are spent in our 2013 Acura ILX long-termer. When you're in one car for a while, you start to take a lot of things for granted, a fact that's highlighted after you spend some time wheeling around in something else. I recently had a chance to jump into a loaded Cadillac XTS Platinum for the weekend to shuttle some fat cats (the parents), and it proved to be a more than capable cruiser, with a ton of room, a plethora of in-car connectivity, and a plush, boulevard-cruiser-style ride. Then I got back in the ILX, and I was reminded once again what makes this compact attractive: its relative agility and fun-to-drive nature. I found myself immediately being more aggressive.
