BAD Vibrations at highway speeds...

This car should not be sold as is! Acura does not know what the cause of the problem is, and after many trip back to the dealer, and talking to Acura Client Relations, I am not sure that they are even interested in addressing it. They made it be known to me that they do not consider the issue a defect, but more of an anomaly that unfortunately is very uncomfortable while driving the car over 60 MPH. If you do not have to go over 50 MPH, then this is the car for you...

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

Car has above average technology for the entry luxury sedan class, but below average performance for the category. Also, the engine automatic stop when stationary at a traffic light, etc. is annoying and requires manual override.

Most quiet and comfortable car I've ever driven. Easy to drive and easy to steer. Braking is responsive, auto braking works well. Appx observed overall MPG 21-25, always engaged in Sport mode. Engine power is decent, shifting is smooth. Sometimes the car suffers from turbo-like lag under acceleration, like most VTEC engines. Build quality exceptional. I love driving this car everyday.

I owned a 2016 advance package with sh awd for about 4 months now and I love it so far. Once u put it in sport + and hit it. She flies! The shift are pretty accurate. I love what Acura did with it. I just can't wait until they add twin turbo to the 3.5, 9 speed machine. O.M.G she a be a beast on wheels. But overall great job Acura hopefully this PMC or PCM version of the TLX a have twin turbo added on the 3.5. And I'm loving the NSX I've seen 2 ppl buy one already. Again great job Acura!
