I get compliments on this car almost every day, almost every where I go. Even from German car owners! The Still Night Pearl exterior with Red Milano Leather bucket seats is a stunning combo. Add that to the BEAUTIFUL Acura Jewel Eye DRL and headlights, and you can see hoards of people just staring at your car and smiling. Some will even try to get you attention just to tell you how beautiful your car is. To me, it's just my normal everyday car. But to others, I've received compliments such as "exotic, beautiful, Sexy, etc...," without even trying. My TLX looks better than all of it's German competition without a doubt. Especially since I've added 20" staggered wheels and dropped my car about 1.5". It's also been rock solid and reliable, only needing to replace a rear driver's side passenger door speaker. The fuel economy is also amazing for such a powerful car (I have the V6 with PAWS). Oh, and one of the best things about this car? The engine note when cruising around town, but especially during the VTEC crossover. Add an intake and all of your passengers will be awed at how beautiful it sounds. The German fans LOVE the way this Honda/Acura J35 sounds. Overall, it's a very comfortable, sporty, reliable, and eye catching car. You won't be disappointed!

Beautiful looking car, inside and out, I have the Elite version, 2.4L FWD, with all-wheel steering. The all-wheel steering is actually a bit annoying, you have to drive out of a parking spot more than usual before turning or you can hit a curb or other car. The car wobbles and shakes and anywhere from 50km/h up. Acura looked at it and said there was nothing wrong with it, but it does it so badly it's hard to steer the car. A cop stopped me once to see if I was impaired. I replaced the tires, and rims, and finally replaced the shocks with performance coilovers and lowered the car as well. All that helped but it still wobbles. I'm going to try replacing the rubber control arm bushings with polyurethane. I bought it brand new and have been modifying it at my own cost every since. I regret buying this car, it's a burden. Interior is great, I have tan leather. The heated seats are a bit slow to warm up and the seat is a bit harder than I would have liked. A/C and heat work excellent. Many features you'd have to pay thousands extra for on a BMW/Audi. The ELS sound system is over-rated, it's not as good as they say it is, and there is almost no bass. It's a bunch of software trying to compensate for some mediocre speakers and amplifier, and it's not very loud.

If you compare verses Lexus or Infiniti, Acura is more affordable luxury
