2019 TLX SHAWD V6 Tech Review
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.

I drove Lexus for 10 years. For me, this is comparable. Smooth ride, great features. I prefer the V-6

Is It Worth It?
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!
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.
