My 2018 Acura TLX Technology Pkg. (6 Cyl.) PAWS

On a scale 1-5, I give this car a 4.5. The vehicle overall performs remarkable well. The new exterior body is what allures you, while all of this safety and creature comforts surround you and keep hold on to your every selfish desire and at a price point that is even more impressive. The interior is an extension of you, ergonomically adept and comfortable with a few array of technological features that any respectable geek would approve of. While there was a slight hint of road noise, it has an acceptable ride, but not as smooth a ride as I would expect and the GPS system that would fair better for the driver if it was more user friendly, but overall a very smart design, well thought out and fun to drive and look at. You cannot go wrong with the car at this price range against any other car in its class. I can see myself enjoying this car for years to come and so could you.

Good balance between comfort and handling, quiet

They struck a fine balance between a comfortable ride and performance handling. Yes, the handling is not quite as sharp as a BMW or Audi S series car, but it's better than a typical Toyota/Lexus/Honda family sedan, and the ride is comfortable without feeling to "floaty". I would have liked to have seen a 3.0L Turbo engine by now, but, the naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 certainly has adequate power (0 - 60 in 5.7 seconds) and, I was happy to save a little money with the discounted price which is probably due to the car having slightly less horsepower than some competition (which costs $5K - $15K more). The cabin road noise on the TLX is excellently quiet, superior to most other "luxury" cars until you approach the $100,000 or more price point and get dual pane windows like in a premium Mercedes AMG E series. This is a car that makes me want to drive more, even if it's just to the grocery store to pickup some onions that we need for dinner. It's also a far better looking car than much of the competition - the 2018 A4 looks like an upside down bathtub with a hamburger grill stuck on the front and the 2018 Accord and Toyota Camry both look like they're trying too hard to be "different" but not in a good way. I love the V6 in "Lunar Silver" or the A-Spec in the blue with red leather seats. (Mine is the silver)

Super Handling Describes It

I love this new 2018 A-SPEC SHAWD TLX, which replaced my 2005 Acura TL. Every day, I look forward to driving it. The SHAWD feature is impressive. If you test drive both the SHAWD and the standard front wheel drive version, you will recognize the obvious difference. I am yet to find the limit of this car's handling. The appearance is striking, and it gets a lot of looks from other drivers on the road. The interior is top notch. The ride is smooth and quiet. My only complaint is that every time I start the car, I have to manually disable the annoying gas saving feature that shuts the engine off at red lights. I am getting 26 mpg average. Hats off to Acura. I am glad I waited for the mid year refresh before I made my decision to purchase.

Perfect combo of style, performance, and comfort

I think Acura hit the sweet spot with this TLX model. The A-Spec package in still night pearl blue is a real looker. Very fun to drive, with acceleration and performance enough to satisfy all but the most critical performance geeks. Really impressed with how well this car does on snowy/icy roads as well. Feels really solid.

Test drive an Acura TLX

Fantastic car for the money. Moved up from a Honda Accord—and wow, what a difference. The 4 wheel steering (yes) is a lot of fun. Handling is precise and sporty. The 8-speed dual clutch transmission is smooth and sporty. And I'm getting better highway mpg than I got with my Accord! My TLX 2.4 is getting from 37 to 39 mpg on the highway at c.70 mph with the air conditioning on. Seats are very comfortable, and the ELS sound system is fantastic. Test drive an Acura TLX and you'll probably agree that it's the best car out there in this price range.
