2015 ACURA TLX SH AWD

G Norris, 08/23/2018
2015 Acura TLX SH-AWD 4dr Sedan AWD w/Advance Package (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful

A Honda Accord EX with a few upgrades not a big upgrade for the price differential. I have had a few interior issues in fit and finish that are disappointing and a front passenger seat that shakes, rattles from the time the car was brand new. The lack of front sensors makes it difficult to "see" the front end of the car because there is a blind spot looking over the hood. Parking straight in you can hit a high curb and damage your front bumper easily. Camera for the rear eliminates this issue when backing in or backing up. Dashboard has a visible space where the GPS screen sits because the trim does not fit properly, this is unbelievable for an Acura as this is a design failure and this should never have gotten out of the assembly area. No way to fix not considered a warranty item. The dealer advised at 1000 miles the rear differential fluid was to be changed to maintain the factory warranty on the AWD this was $300! Basically a hidden up charge as this was never discussed at the time of discussing maintenance on the car when being sold. Obviously this was deliberately hidden from the consumer also this seems unlike Acura, probably the dealer not the manufacturer. I expected more of a MSRP $42,000 automobile. Would not buy another.

Acura TLX Better Than Lexus ES 350!

Drove a Lexus ES-350, Mercedes C-300 and the Acura TLX V-6 Advance. The Acura was more spacious inside, it is wider and there is more headroom. Very quiet interior and the car seems to float over the road. Too much road noise in the Lexus. I really like the Acura's separate screen for the navigation and one for the sound system. The ELS 10 speaker system with surround is wonderful. The car has good acceleration and gas mileage. There are more technology features than other similar luxury cars. Plus it is priced lower than the Lexus and Mercedes C-300 (which is a small car). I highly recommend the Acura TLX. You get much more for the money. Test drive one, you'll be convinced like me.

Acura TLX from AutoNation Acura Best Experience Ever

mitchell22, 11/27/2014
2015 Acura TLX Technology Package 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 8AM)
8 of 9 people found this review helpful

TLX is a great car especially for the money. I had a Lexus ES300h & it's a great car. But fully loaded it came in at 48K before TTL. I got a 2.4 w/ Tech Pkg. & as far as "losing" features from Lexus I lost power steering wheel & ventilated seats. At 35K MSRP the TLX is a steal. Ride is fantastic just as smooth as ES300h & seat comfort is honestly better. AutoNation Acura gave me the best buying experience I've ever had! They didn't try to sell me extra stuff during financing. I was able to pick one vehicle and change my mind on color and not once did anyone seem irritated. I can't say enough how they worked with me to make this purchase. Thank you AutoNation Acura. You're the best dealership

Transmission issues with the 9 speed automatic

R Small, 07/24/2015
2015 Acura TLX Technology Package 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

I purchased a 2015 Acura TLX v6 with technology package back in December 2015 and have many positives to say about the car, but unfortunately the 9 speed transmission frustrations kill my enjoyment of the car. The shifting is erratic, especially the shift between 2nd-3rd gears. The shift into 3rd gear causes the car to jerk, while all higher gears shift like butter. I've taken the car to the dealer, and they've stated it is normal for this transmission. That is not acceptable to me when purchasing a luxury sedan. If Acura can resolve this issue, it would be a great car. There are a fair number of others who have similar issues (based on forums).
