2018 Acura TLX w/ tech much better than 2015 model

The acceleration is much peppier than 2015 model, which I previously had. The shifting is extremely smooth without any hesitancy. Very quiet interior. Adaptive cruise control is a great first step towards self driving, as it has lane assist. You are able to take your hands off the wheel, and the car will stay in lane. It is not perfect though, and I wouldn't suggest totally ignoring the drive. It would blow through the lane, especially on hard curves.

Acura seems to have fallen behind with technology on the 2018 TLX. They changed the grille which looks nice. But safety features have not been upgraded since the 2015 model. Also, the display on the audio system provides even less info that the 2015 model. They have also done away with the ability to choose economy or other modes of driving.

Worst car I ever owned

2018 Acura TLX A-Spec 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

This car is not worth the money. It is very hard to get in and out. I used to own the Accura TL's and they were a great car. This car is nothing like that. The ride is very hard. There is no give to the seat, tires, or suspension. It is painful to go over bumps and my back hurt constantly. I traded it in after owning for 4 months. The heat blasted out hot air on your foot so you had to turn the heat off. The radio is poor for what they claim is an upscale car. Only one speaker in the center. Save your money and buy another car.

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

Ok so I decided to right this review, I'm not really savy or knowledgeable on vehicle I guess you can say most women aren't. I was given this vehicle as a loner (only 500 miles on it) while the dealer was replacing my airbags in my 2015 ILX, I feel in love with the space & sporty look, but noticed if you have to make a sudden stop it feels as if the shell of the car was going to fly off and you still will hit whatever you were trying to avoid, very difficult pairing your bluetooth had to take to dealer, not to mention 2yrs having this vehicle in 5/2018 while sitting at stop light in "drive" the vehicle decides it wants to go into "N" (neutral) and sometimes in "P" (park) which is scary (because I could easily be rear ended) considering I'm totally unaware until I attempt to take off. I took it to the dealer (which their fixing for FREE) but was told by the service advisor that the mechanic said, "that maybe I spilled something in the gears, which in NOT true, they want to blame it on someone other than Acura. I also forgot to mention the "voice recognition" is HORRIBLE, and the carpet edging inside the entire vehicle was very cheaply done. Thank god I'm leasing not really sure if I want to purchase at the end of my lease.

Purchased the top of the line AWD version. Living in the Great White North makes it great to have the AWD. Excellent traction and self correcting ability when traction is momentarily lost. Comfortable to drive on long trips and fuel economy is better than advertised. On three hour trips through the Rocky Mountains we get right around 7.0 liters/100km (32.5 mpUSg) with the V6. Winter mileage drops to around 9.0 liters/100km in the city. Vented seats are okay, but a/c seats would be better. Overall, we will buy another one in the future. Up to 58,000 miles now, and still running great. No issues whatsoever.
