Is It Worth It?

2019 Acura TLX SH-AWD A-Spec Red 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

When the TLX came out in 2015, I thought it would be gone in a few years. But, now they're releasing the 2019 model year, and sales are skyrocketing. But why? Well, because for 33 grand, you can have leather seats, dual-zone A/C, an infotainment system, and 206 horsepower. And, for $6400 more, you can get an extra 84 horses, and the A-spec pack, which enhances the car even more. That's all jolly and good, but is it worth it? Do you really need to spend the extra 6400k in return for a few more horses and a package you're not sure you really need? No, you don't. All the A-spec package does is make everything look more sporty by painting it black, and adding a few stickers that say A-spec. And, in reality, you don't need the extra power either, because 206 horses under the bonnet is enough to outrun the police and their ancient Fords, do donuts in car parks, and for the daily commute to the office. Perhaps you like to shake it up a bit, in which case, the A-spec would be perfect for you. But if you're just a normal person looking for a car that's stylish yet sensible, and won't leave you looking like a yobbo, then go for the 206hp TLX. You'll like it better.

Panache and sensibility!

2019 Acura TLX A-Spec 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 8AM)

Purchased a 2019 4 cylinder with the A spec appointments, steel grey with red leather interior. The styling of it inside and outside is spot on. Looks modern and sleek but it retains a high level of creature comfort. The backseat is a bit claustrophobic for adults however. The 4 cylinder engine sounds like a 6 cylinder and one gets the extra gas mileage savings. The car feels and looks like an expensive exotic sportscar without the dead broke price tag. Acura has done an exceptional job of designing a car that is relevant for its time. No longer does one feel it’s just a re-badged Honda. It’s taken them several redesigns over the yrs to reinvigorate the brand.

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.
