Hendrick Automotive

I leased a 2015 Acura ILX from Hendrick Acura. Their service is always good. I was very pleased, however the car itself is a disappointment. The gas tank is listed in the user manual as 13 gallons, which is small but the actual size of the tank is only 11! I have to stop for gas very often. The highway mileage is listed as 35. My experience is that it is not. I measured the mileage in the best conditions I could for 35 miles on the freeway with no stops and could only get 34. That is not bad but not realistically 35 either; very deceptive. My previous car, a 2012 TSX got better mileage and had a bigger engine. Within a month of taking delivery, I offered to swap for a TLX and pay the higher monthly rate but Hendrick stonewalled and asked for $ 6,500 to make the trade. DO NOT buy the ILX unless you know what you are getting. And don’t expect any help from the dealer.
