If not for the horrible transmission, the TLX V6 SH-AWD would be a great car. However, this transmission has no clue what gear it should be in at times. At a short and/or rolling stop, the transmission can't find first gear until the engine revs and then the car lurches forward. Travelling at around 30 miles an hour, you give it gas to accelerate.. the car has a huge lag. I'd have given the car a 1 star but I like the rest of the vehicle

After owning a 2007 Accord (best Accord ever built and phenomenal car), I decided it was time for an upgrade that included more modern safety features. I have been driving my new TLX for about 18 months now and have about 16,000 miles on it. Fantastic car and offers great value for the money. This is not a sports car even though handling is superb. Best features: quiet interior, quality of materials, handling/steering, engine, fuel economy, style, transmission, LED headlights, great value for the money, and very solid chassis. Not so good features: front headroom good but not great (wish Acura would offer models without moon roof), no spare tire, automatic transmission sometimes jerks a bit when switching from reverse to drive when car is cold.

I LOVE my TLX with Tech Package. The only 2 things I've noticed is the slight lag in the transmission and the shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. I'm under 23 and I actually enjoy the transmission shifting kind of hard, especially when in sport modes; it makes the drive really fun. The car is VERY stylish and I always get compliments. Gas mileage is GREAT, AVG 34 MPG on the highway doing 80 mph in ECO mode with 4 passengers in the car. Safety features are a plus and helps out on insurance premiums. I would HIGHLY recommend this car to anyone. UPDATE: Went to trade my car in with 30K miles on it, it was only worth $23K. This was a $40K car. The 9 speed transmission really do suck. I had to get my leather replaced twice. Tried to trade up into a newer Acura and the dealership didn't want offer a great deal. After all this, I went to a different car manufacturer.

Hate the 9 speed transmission!!! As others have reported, the car shifts roughly. I could manually shift a four speed smoother than this car's automatic. 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd gears terrible jerking. At 40 MPH coasting down hill the transmission starts searching for a gear causing it to shift into neutral and when a gear is found the car surges forward. This also happens in stop and go traffic where the shifting can cause unexpected acceleration. (Several near accidents) Despite a recall the "Parking" gear doesn't always hold. You need to use the emergency brake to be safe. I've had the car into the shop 5 times in the past 10 months. Their answer to the problem, "We are working on it." Really? This is supposed to be a high-end luxury car? It won't be long before we start to hear about serious accidents caused by the uncontrolled shifting and acceleration. Update: We sought relief thru the NYS lemon law but since a "mechanical issue" was never found with the transmission ("It's a computer glitch that we are working to correct" said the dealer's mechanics) the commission ruled in favor of the corporation's lawyers. Not surprise there. Over the three year lease we had left the car with the dealer for approximately 20 days to correct the problems but to no avail. The car sat in my garage for the last 4 months of the lease because my wife was afraid to drive it. We never knew (and apparently neither did the computer that controls the transmission) when it would disengage or shift gears causing the car to suddenly accelerate or role down a hill when parked. We had the car in for service on the transmission, airbags, parking brake and "computer up-dates on a regular basis. We were over-joyed when we could finally turn the car in at the end of the lease.

Why Doesn't Everyone Drive This Car ?

I bought this car almost four years ago. Since that time I have enjoyed every moment on the road. My husband loves to take it on every curvy road he can find and we both are amazed at the mileage we get on our long road trips, 38 mpg on highway. Can't understand why everyone doesn't own one. I think the reason is they haven't yet had the pleasure of driving one. Don't believe everything you read in Consumer Reports, this is a sports car in a sedate sedan!
