2016 Acura ILX vs 2016 Mazda6
Serving Clearwater, Tampa, Largo, St. Petersburg, and Palm Harbor
There's a lot to love about both the Acura ILX and the Mazda Mazda6, but the Acura gets out in front in the very last moments and beats the Mazda when being compared. With extra features, better options, and more, the Acura handles the pressure when it comes to luxury sedans, capable of handling more than your everyday luxury vehicles.
Horsepower
The engine is what really makes a car, so whatever engine is inside of a vehicle says a lot about how that car is going to run and how it's going to perform. While the Mazda6 does a good job on its engine, with 184 horsepower, that still can't top the 201 horsepower put into the 2016 Acura ILX. Both of the cars also come with a 2.4 liter engine and a dual-clutch automatic transmission for a smooth ride, non-stop.
Safety
The Acura doesn't mess around when it comes to safety with its passengers. That's why you don't have to pay extra for most of the safety features that already come with the Acura. This is unlike the Mazda6 where you have to pay between $25 and $200 for each individual added safety feature you want in the car. Because Acura looks out for your well-being, you don't have to pay extra for features that should already be in the luxury sedan to begin with -- like 911 assist, rear cross-traffic detection, and a blind spot warning system. In fact, it even comes with a temporary spare tire, just in case.
Features
Not only does the 2016 Acura ILX come with more safety features than the Mazda6, but it also comes with more features in general. It's got active noise reduction, Siri Eyes Free support which ties into voice control for the audio system, a manual lumbar adjuster in the driver seat, and even an overhead sunglass holder. Plus, unlike other vehicles where you have to shell out a lot of money for even more luxury, it's actually affordable to add luxury features like heated seats.
Warranty
Last but not least, you can't forget to handle your warranty at the dealership when getting a new car. That's why having a good warranty that's fair and reasonable is always important when trying to decide on a vehicle. Fortunately, the 2016 Acura ILX provides a basic, generous warranty than the Mazda does, so you have more options and more peace of mind.
