Ive had my 19 ILX Tech ASpec for 5 months now, just turned 5500 miles. Since ownership Ive really gotten a glimpse at Acuras piss poor quality control. From misaligned body panels, to dozens of paint defects, to factory wet sanding spots, creases in the headliner, and untrimmed dashboard molding around the defrost vents. Im currently leasing this car and thank god I did! I truly planned on purchasing after lease but now Im thinking Ill part ways and move into another brand. My wifes 17 Mazda CX-9 is near flawless after almost 3 years of ownership. Why is Mazda more of a luxury brand than Acura? This lack of quality control wouldnt pass for a Hyundai/Kia, why does Acura let it pass?
Well yesterday was the last straw. As I hand wash my car in my driveway, I noticed that the paint on the upper edges of the rear bumper is just flaking off to bare plastic. Theres not even primer under there!
