The TLX is a well complimented car. The technology, safety and audio packages are outstanding. The 3.5 liter V6 can be a rocket ship when needed.

Biggest complaint is the electronics controls. Not too intuitive and much too complex. Second area of concern is front seat. It is not adjustable for height. I use a cushion to gain enough height to see curvature of hood. ( I am 5' 10" ). I have been a driver since 1948 and have owned a number of cars. Note: when the transmission is very cold, you can expect some rough shifts until it warms up. Another point, I bought the car in North Carolina and drive it home to New York, The instrumentation indicated 34.7 MPG on Interstate driving mostly I95.. Speed limit in NC is 75mph! LOL

I have bought at least 8 Acuras in the last 5 years....always reliable. The new TLX has some problems. First, there is NO emergency brake....absolutely dumb and stupid! They ask you to electronically put on an emergency brake and then to get it off, electronically, you have to press on the accelerator. Well, that can cause an accident, especially if you are pointed downhill. Second, when you put the transmission in park, it drifts backward or forward, however you are pointed. These defects need to be fixed, pronto. If you like a hand emergency brake, don't buy this car! ADDITIONAL: After driving this car for two years I had to get rid of it. The problems with the 9-speed transmission were unsurmountable. Press on the gas, the car almost dies. Open the driver's door in reverse and the car goes into "Park". Take your foot off the accelerator while driving and the car surges ahead. Acura is supposed to make a "driver's" car.....the 2015 TLX is not that car. It was the most disappointing car I have ever driven. I just (Feb, 2018) got a second recall on the transmission problem. DON'T BUY THIS CAR!

I owned a 2006 TSX 6spd manual with nav. Fun car and hard to beat the price with all the features. The 4 cyl was hi-revving and fun to drive, but the car was small and lacked low end power. Unfortunately, in the TLX they got the size right, but the car lacks any fun factor. Way too many buttons to push, no manual transmission option and cheesy faux wood paneling. At least with the old TL and TSX you could opt for no wood. The TSX also came standard with leather, not as nice as the TLs, but better than the fake leather used in the base TLX. I know a similar optioned BMW 3 series would come in around $5-7 grand more, but a nice used 335i seems better to me.
