First of all, I had little choice in leasing a new TLX as i was not allowed to purchase my 2013 TL. Because of the Takata airbag recall, and the lack of supply of airbags, I wasn't allowed to purchase the TL at the end of the lease. The only way out was to lease a new TLX. Anyways, this call is anything but exciting to drive. From a dead start it is clear that there is too much HP for a front end drive. The driving of the car is anything less than thrilling. I love the interior, and the stereo system. Excellent sound. The interior is very nice as well. No complaints. There is an issue, however, when starting the call and placing it into drive (or sport mode, etc), upon pressing the gas pedal the car literally does not move for a few seconds...almost as if there is no gas getting to the engine. I discussed this with my local Acura dealer (where I purchased the car) and they are aware of these complaints. There is nothing they can do as it is said to be a computer flaw. All in all, this will definitely be my last Acura. This is my 3rd Acura. Loved my 2004 TL. 2013 TL was OK. This car, never again. I'm moving onto Lexus. Sad, but Acura has really done everything in their power to destroy their brand. They know, and everyone else knows it. Just read about it online.

I've read the complaining and don't get most of them. You buy a spare tire when you get the car since it doesn't have one. Another $400 for me. I still drove off with a fantastic car for less than $40,000. I had everything on it I could get. I really enjoy the lane handling assist. It turns off after 30 seconds if you don't pay attention, so it makes you drive. And you can easily over ride it if you want to. Sometimes I"m to lazy to signal for a lane change and just do it. The LKA nudges me back but my 2 year old grand son could easily over ride the nudge. It won't pull you back into danger; in fact it won't even make a turn if it is too sharp because of the inertia in the car. The car is extremely quiet and gets over 30 mpg on the highway most of the time, unless it's below 10 degrees F or unless I'm using a lead foot. Traction in snow (with snow tires) far surpasses anything I've ever owned. I'm extremely happy with this car. The one drawback for us has been the limited back seat leg room--4 adults for a long trip isn't this car's forte. You can do it as long as a couple of you are under 5'8", but there isn't any spare room. The one update is Acura just have me a10 year unlimited mileage warranty on engine and transmission

Transmission is awful, 9 speed ZF just isnt right choice. Interior desighn is a bit rough and poor for luxury car. Handling is great. AWD SH is awesome. Could be a great car if Acura didnt cut corners and did not put that awful 9 speed transmission in. Also, poor customer service at acuralink, but Radley Acura where I got this car is outstanding.

If you purchase this car in white, the interior options are only dark colors. My car has the white exterior with the gray leather seats. However, the interior gets so hot because of the cheap black plastic dashboard and black plastic door trim which consumes a large portion of the interior cabin. The air conditioner can't compensate for the intense heat buildup when the car is parked outside in the hot Florida sun. This car has the seats that are supposed to cool and this function really does not help much. My 2009 Acura had a BEAUTIFUL tan interior and a really good air conditioner that cooled the car so well. I am so disappointed in the 2016 TLX, that I wish I would have kept my 2009. The 2016 TLX was purchased for the safety features which are superb, but the car is so uncomfortably hot, that we will consider another brand the next time we purchase. I do not know why Acura does not offer lighter color LEATHER INTERIOR SEATS anymore. Plastic seats in Florida are like sitting in a plastic bag. If the interior options don't change, we will no longer be ACURA customers.
