2019 Acura TLX 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
The front driver seat is too big from different dimensions and not comfortable to most Asians especially females. There’s no way to find a sweet spot. I kind of regret from purchasing this car.

Which TLX does Edmunds recommend?
Don't be tempted by the A-Spec trims; we think this entry-level premium sedan is most compelling in its lower-priced trim levels, such as the TLX 2.4L with Technology package. It enhances the TLX's value and actually feels lighter and more maneuverable than the more powerful V6 version. The four-cylinder TLX also has a more cooperative transmission than the V6 model. Adding the Technology package gets you worthwhile amenities and convenience features.

Driving
7.5Sport-minded drivers may not like the sluggish downshifts and inability to fully disable stability control. City drivers may not like the heavier steering and stiffer suspension. But both will appreciate the A-Spec's point-and-thrust driving characteristics and running the V6 through the gears.
Comfort
8.0The TLX's A-Spec's cabin is surprisingly quiet and comfortable over long distances. The only real downsides are lackluster seat ventilation and air conditioning.
Interior
8.0Its interior design is busy but functional and roomy. The simulated-suede seat material is grippy but also heat-retaining. The use of dual screens, a large control knob and a button shifter is Acura's way of letting you know the TLX is full of tech.
Utility
7.0The TLX's efficiently laid-out interior and trunk prove you don't need an SUV to have a functional day-to-day vehicle. The 60/40-split folding rear seats allow for even more cargo capacity. Storage spots inside the car aren't cavernous, but they are sufficient and easy to access.
Technology
7.0Acura's solution to info overload is to display data on two screens. It's logical, but it causes distraction when interacting with it. The screen that looks as if it's controlled with a knob is actually a touchscreen, while the screen that should be a touchscreen is controlled with a knob.
