Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Acura ILX than in the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, due to the Acura ILX's smaller rear head- and legroom.
The Mercedes-Benz A-Class will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Acura ILX.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Acura ILX as you will with the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Acura ILX will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Acura ILX and the Mercedes-Benz A-Class have similar Destination Charges.

When looking at overall length, the Acura ILX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
Drivetrain
With its lower torque, the Acura ILX doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
