Great car so far. Nice and responsive, yes the fuel economy is pretty good as well. Pretty roomy too, and I am 6'5". Just a great all around car at a great price. Sure maybe the finish is not like that of BMW or Mercedes, but is more than good enough for me at this price point. Much more room than a 3-series BMW, wider, 4 wheel steering is nice, and repairs are just so much more limited than the German cars. Wonderful resale value with Acura as well. After driving it for 15K miles, zero recalls and repairs required.

We cross shopped against just about every other mid-size sedan. Almost bought a 16' Maxima, but glad we didn't. This is seriously the nicest car my wife and I have ever owned, and we've owned some very nice fully loaded vehicles, we just love it! We got the 2.4l powertrain with 8 speed automatic and Tech Pkg in Blue Pearl and Cashmere interior. Beautiful color combo IMO. This thing is really surprisingly fun to drive with just a little 4 banger engine. Pop it into Sport+ and hang on! Lots of fun factor with this car. I was initially overwhelmed and blown away with the Tech Pkg, just too many features to play with and learn about. The two screens up front was a great idea and perfectly executed by Acura, extremely functional and pleasing to the eye. ILS sound system rocks! This car is just about perfect in every way, we love it. Do yourself a favor and go test drive one, you'll want to buy it. I would definitely recommend opting for the Tech Pkg. Don't feel like you need the V6, the 2.4l engine has plenty of pep in normal driving mode. Sport+ mode is crazy fun. Also, after reading other negative reviews about the 9 speed ZF trans V6 powertrain I'm glad we got the little 4 cylinder 8 speed!

In the market for a new car & recently test drove the TLX. I came away very impressed with the cars quality, comfort, driving dynamics and most importantly value. Top of the line TLX sh-awd with Advance Package is $44,595. I test drove the Mercedes C300 & C400, Bmw 328i & 335i, Audi A4 2.0T & S4. all great cars but in the end I chose the TLX because it's packed with technology, great reputation for reliability and cost's $5,000 to $15,000 cheaper then any of it's competition when fully equipped with the same feature content. A no brainier for me!
STill quite impressed. I put on 4 Bridgestone V's

None of the problems I have thus far read about in the other reviews have crossed my path. Zero! Even the mention of acceleration not being up to par is far from my experience. One of the outstanding aspects of the 9 speed is the two dog teeth gears, one in the low range for fast departures from a red light, and another for amazing passing acceleration from 80 on up! On a lonely interstate I can easily pass a car doing 80 with a simple touch of the accelerator to a speed of 100. And it is anvil tough and quiet. I have driven the car for three years now with no complaints. The nav system is fun to use when I drive to places I have never been before just to explore new vistas and then hit the Home button. There is never an issue with becoming lost. The best technical aspect comes into play when backing out of a parking spot between two trucks that are parallel parked next to me. I can't really see beyond them whether a car is coming or a person is starting to walk towards the back of the car but the radar warns me in both situations! It sees around both trucks and warns me to stop. That is outstanding! What is simply less effective however, is the lane keeping tech. This is due to the fact that the highway does not maintain its lanes in top condition, so that when the paint ages, the car sometimes does not spot the lane correctly . Also, the self driving mechanism works at most for about 30 seconds at a time at which point it demands that you take control of the wheel for at least a second before it re-engages. However, it was never touted as an autonomous driving machine, like a Tesla, but it is fun to watch it drive around curves on its own. I like the soft material it uses in the interior but the push button mechanisms did at first take getting used to since I previously drove a 2000 TL with the combination manual/auto transmission. (That car also had no squeaks or rattles for the 15 years I drove it!). I also like that you can read the air pressure of your tires on your dash board along with the car's oil functionality. Its viscosity is what is being measured and not its level. And as far as creep goes in city traffic, I have never experienced the jerkiness from 2nd gear to 3rd or any other jerkiness ever. It is smooth from first all the way to 9th gear. I am very happy I bought this car and glad the dealership reduced the price $300 simply because I said that would be the only way I could get under my credit limit, which was true. Putting it on my credit card allowed me to get 2% back which I thought was a good deal. As to gas consumption, I got 37.2 mpg on straight highway driving using sport mode. I like sport mode since it lets me react more quickly in case of emergencies. However keeping it in that mode in city driving I noticed I get less than 19, but not by much. Mixed driving comes in at 24 mpg, not too terrible. And I went with the PAWS because I believe the stop/start driving in the SH-AWD is not good for the engine or the transmission despite the gas saving. Besides, having 4 wheel steer around curves means you can take curves faster without needing to accelerate to keep the car in line. It automatically stays in the correct attitude around curves due to the rear wheels turning. It is simply a fun car to drive, anywhere! In re-reading this I noticed I have left off minor perks like the huge size of the trunk, the ability to lock my car by calling Acura or doing it from my living room window, the rear view mirror's automatically changing to a darker glass if the car behind you is using his brights (admittedly an advantage that has been around a while), heated seats (I did not opt for the cooling seats), leather and one cool car color called Phantom Blue Pearl, where the pearl has to do with tiny specs of gold that show up under sunlight or lamp posts at night but you have to look carefully for it. What can I say, I am a happy camper! And after 4 and 1/2 full years of driving I am still an enthusiast. My one major expense so far was the fact I picked up a nail on one of the roads and the tire quickly deflated. I then discovered how to use the kit they provided instead of a spare. I hooked one end to the cigarette lighter and the other to the tire and simply put my foot on the lever which fed a hole closing liquid into the tire until I could get to the dealership to buy a new one. That happened about 3 years ago. I was fortunate to run into a decent manager who had given me free oil changes for life, of which I have taken advantage of about 5 times now. Full transparency dictates that I only have 17,500 miles on it so perhaps the smoothness is like new because it almost is like new. I was happy to read about the 2020 TLX in that most non cosmetic things have remained the same. I have the same engine/transmission and still can get better mpg doing 88 when 9th gear engages than doing 55, but I won't mention which interstate I do that on. My Update! ======== I just turned 26,000 miles and everything is as smooth as silk. No probems./ Not much to add other than the fact that I am now at 28,600 miles. I already put in new filters (due to my experience with Covid) and the new tires and auto transmission fluids and of course I get free oil changes when the car tells me to. I am still quite fond of the car. Still powerful and quiet and fun to drive.
