2019 TLX SHAWD V6 Tech Review

2019 Acura TLX SH-AWD 4dr Sedan AWD w/Technology Package (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

This vehicle is the best TL/TLX model Acura has put out yet, I have owned several over the last 15 years. For a midsize sporty luxury sedan it has outstanding performance, reliability, exceptional standard safety with the Tech package, and exceptional value on all of that relative to other makes and models. Earlier models with the 9A transmission were abit jerky but this 2019 TLX has it right, not sure if it was just a software upgrade but they fixed the slightly jerky tranny issue from earlier years. Sport and Sport+ modes give an exceptional performance advantage that you need to spend 10s of thousands more to get from other makes/models. Go test drive for yourself you will be impressed, by not only Sport and Sport+ performance, but the AcuraWatch driver assistance safety suite on the Tech package; it is second to none, especially at the price point, that Acura offers for this vehicle. My initial quality and reliability has been excellent, and going forward I'm confident that the reliability and resale are likely to be up to the typical high standards that the Acura/Honda reputation provides.

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

If you are an Acura fan, and looking for a great sporty sedan with power and performance, the A-Spec TLX is a great car. It comes either front wheel or AWD. The A-Spec is pricey for a TLX, however it has great value. It has a 290hp 3.5 Liter VTEC6-cylinder engine, which is the same engine in the MDX. It has 4 drive modes Econ, Normal, Sport, and Sport+. You’re burning rubber in Sport+. There is a 12-way driver’s seat and a long list of safety features. It’s a beautiful automobile inside and out that turns heads. With 23 mpg combined city/highway, it’s not very good on gas. But, driving in Econ mode helps.

My fourth TLX/TL and my last

When everything works it seems to be a nice car. Acura quality control is terrible for a luxury brand. My top of the line TLX came with A-Spec badging when it wasn't an A-Spec or is it? Writing to Acura VP and Honda CEO about that got me nothing not even an answer. Now the car calls home on the AcuraLink service all on it's own. Maybe a half dozen times now. Driving down the road when the "SOS" goes off is very disturbing. Makes me wonder if the brakes failed so the car phoned home? One time the care phoned home while it was sitting in the driveway overnight. When no one in the car answered they called 911. That should be reassuring if we were incapacitated but the trooper responding to the 911 call fell on the ice while checking it out! Trying to get call logs has been over 40 days now. Acura Client Relations is the worst customer support I have ever experienced in 40 years of being a consumer. Our 2008 was nice, the 2013 we still own and is nice, the 2016 TLX was terrible but I thought by 2018 it would be better. I should have my head examined.

Vibration is awful

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

Car vibrates and shakes at highway speeds. Very uncomfortable to drive on the highway which is where I do most of my driving. Acura customer care is a joke- They had a regional rep come out and drive the car and say the shaking was a “characteristic of the vehicle”. Very frustrating and I plan on filing a lemon law suit against them. Car would be ok without shaking and vibration ... I have been a Honda Driver for 10 years now. I promise there will be no brand loyalty from my family moving forward.

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.
