The worst Acura

This is my fifth Acura. By far the worst ever. Not only as an Acura but as a car, in general. In more detail: handling is very good, road noise minimal. That is all the positives the negatives: the technology is archaic and extremely slow. It is head scratching how Acura or Honda allows this car to be sold. The software has locked three times in two months! It changes settings by itself and you never know whether it works because it is extremely slow in responding. AWFUL! This is supposed to be a "luxury" automobile. The transmission bugs have not all been fixed. The jerking takes place occasionally, nothing dangerous. And the worst part: it is always trembling! Yes, trembling! At any speed!! You cannot enjoy the driving experience, period. I do not now whether it is the transmission or the "four wheel steering". My 2007 and 2013 TL's were far superior as was the 2010, six cylinder TLX. Even the ELS radio is not as good as was in the 2013 Tl. My daughter just bought a top of the line MAZDA 3. Almost half the price and by far a better car. I truly do not comprehend how Acura allows this disaster to be sold. Totally regret getting this car.

Wiring harness problems

2018 Acura TLX SH-AWD 4dr Sedan AWD w/Advance Package (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

I bought a 2018 Acura TLX Advance AWD and after 2000 miles it has a wiring harness problem. Been in shop over a month, so now qualifies under the “Lemon Law”. I’m a long-term loyal Honda/Acura owner, so this is a big concern for me. It appears the quality of Acura has gone down over the years, in my opinion. I also do not like the idol stop feature. I turn it off every time I start the engine. That feature is worthless in my opinion.

2018 Acura TLX Technology Package 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 8AM)

We moved on from the TSX to the 2018 TLX. We loved it the TSX and I love the TLX. I love the Acura. The Tech package is well worth the extra money. It puts the car at a different level. The car has decent pickup for a 4 cylinder and is fun to drive. It surely can seat 4 comfortably. It’s a perfect commuter car. It’s also a very cool looking car. So far, I like it lots. I hope it performs long term like out TSX did. I see no reason it won’t. It’s an Acura. Update: It’s been a year since we bought the Acura. It has about 17k on it now. It’s still a great car. We are very happy we bought an Acura TLX. No problems thus far. This makes us very happy.

Little bit of a let down

Had a 2016 touring accord coupe. My Accord rides better. My hood on my TLX flexing on the freeway. I live in Montana and the speed limit is 80. When I drive it the steering vibration and the front hood flexing and fluttering. Iv got to call Acura. Can't deal with this. Its got 2500 on it now. Closest dealer is 400 miles from Bozeman Montana.

Love this vehicle. And for the price it makes me even more happy to have a luxury performance vehicle that has the Honda quality. And, not cost me my first born to get repairs if ever needed (which is unlikely).
