2015 Acura TLX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 8AM)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful
I drove an Acura ILX before getting the TLX a few months ago. The difference is night and day. While both have the same reliable Acura quality, the ride in the ILX was choppy. By contrast the TLX is a very comfortable ride. I have the 4 cylinder base model, but I find it fine for me. If someone wants to drive aggressively, with lots of peppy acceleration, this is not a match for that. But for the average driver, the performance of the car is fine. Its comfort is well above average. I would compare the drive to a Lexus 350. I did not get the navigation system, because with a smart phone, it's all you need. Acura service is tops when you need it, but you rarely do.

Stay far far away from the V6 models

It was my mistake that I didn't look thoroughly online before purchasing my SH-AWD in July. The 2-3 gear shift is truly awful, I've brought it in twice to the dealer to try and fix and they say it is normal and there is no fix. It is so unpleasant that it removes any and all fun from driving the car. I'm still coming to terms that I might be stuck with this car for the near future. Acura, how can you sleep at night? The V6 models are a disaster. They clearly hand picked a non-defective one to lend to car review sites and now that we've bought them Acura doesn't care at all. Surprised there isn't a class action lawsuit for the V6 models yet. Going to try to take it in a couple more times to get it fixed and then see if it can qualify for the lemon law. You've been warned, stay far far away from the V6 models. I don't even care if this hurts my own resale value, no more people should be tricked into buying this $40k lemon. Buying a luxury car shouldn't be a gamble that you get a good transmission. Shame on you Acura. UPDATE: I have sold my Acura TLX at a loss less than a year after getting it after numerous repeat trips to the Acura dealership. Acura corporate even sent a technician to look at it, but they could not solve the shifting issues yet still refused to replace the car. I don't have time to be going to the dealership every week trying to get it fixed so I gave in and took the loss, you win Acura. Hope someone else learns from my experience, Acura simply does not stand by the quality of their products. Would not recommend.

I've had this car for only a few weeks and i'm quite impress by how it delivers on all fronts. It is a quite and comfortable cruiser. I average 38 MPG on a 250 mile trip cruising at around 70MPH. You can really feel the different driving modes from Econ to Sport +, absolutely love the 8 spd DSG, no lag or kick whatsover. The 2.4L never feels underpowered. I know that there are cars that are faster and handle better but you would have to take them on a track to see it. Sound system is crystal clear

Absolutely love driving this car! It's my wife's car but I make sure to drive it any chance I get! Interior is amazingly quite! Handling is superb and transmission shifts like a champ! The 2.4l is zippy and fun to drive despite only having 201hp. Maybe it's because my daily driver is a pickup truck, but I love this car and would consider buying a second TLX.

It took a while for me to get over no spare tire with this car or you can buy one for about $300.00 - 400.00 but we had a problem, the battery went completely and couldn't be jump started. We then found out that with the awful new transmission they forgot one thing.......you can't put the car in neutral to push it unless it starts. Roadside assistance came out and they had no idea, I called the dealer and they said the only way to move the car is to jack up the car and put rollers under the tires. So I wrote Acura and this is what they had to say; "We value you as an Acura client and we appreciate the opportunity of responding to your concern. On behalf of Acura, we offer our sincere apologies for the circumstances which prompted you to reach us. We assure you of our interest in your feedback and we thank you for bringing your concern to our attention. Upon further research, the information provided by your dealership is correct and we apologize for any convenience this may have caused. It is our pleasure to note your valuable feedback as Acura strives to produce vehicles which exceed our client's expectations and your insight assists us in fully understanding consumer perspective." Do with it what you may but I think it's clearly a case of engineers not thinking about the consumer. It's just like when they reasoned no spare tire saying it increased the fuel mileage...I found that funny. Acura is losing site of you and me. My 4th Acura and surely my last.
