I prefer the 2016 tax over ilx

I traded in my 2013 ilx to buy the 2016 tlx. I could no longer take the road noise on the tlx- my husband and I could hardly have a conversation. The tlx is much quieter- not quiet, but much better. I was hoping for better gas mileage for a 4 cylinder, 24 mpg I really like the blind spot warning and the compas / street name at the top of the instrument cluster. The trunk is huge but wish it opened further when poped open. The plastic handle in the trunk for closing is hokey- your supposed to pull it and quickly get your arm out before it hits ya. I like the new headlights but miss the fog lights my tlx had. I was looking for a car that was luxury inside as I drive a lot but wanted good gas mileage and low maintenance expense and am hoping this will be it. My two prior cars were BMW and I got tired of writing huge checks for repairs and didn't like that people treated me like I was rich or a show off, the Acura to me is less flashy but still nice inside

My Acura TLX blows away other cars in its class

I'm an Acura guy, owning for 12 years before this new '16 TLX I just bought. I thought about changing - looked hard at BMW, Lexus, Infiniti, Jaguar - and I'm really happy I didn't. Love the performance, ride and comfort, and I get all of the bells and whistles that the other guys have at a significantly lower cost. Plus the car just looks great.

Loving it so far

The ride is smooth and quiet. The styling is classic contemporary. The cost relative to other cars in the class couldn't be matched. The only thing I don't love is the touch screen controls for radio and the voice command system is hard to figure out and frustrating. Other than that I am loving my new car.

Not safe

Unfortunately the abs system had mechanical problems. Was driving and vehicle brakes locked up. Car ended up totaled as a result. It's a chance taken when buying a used vehicle. Brakes and ABS don't show up on car fax reports.

Tremendous Value

I have a loaded 2016 TLX as a dealer loaner car now. My 2012 TL is getting some scheduled maintenance. The TLX is really quite impressive. Very quiet, yet powerful. Eight speed transmission is amazingly smooth. I actually like the idle-stop feature a lot better than in some other cars I have been in. This is a lot of car for the money.
