I have a TLX awd 3.5L 2020 vehicle with 225 miles. The car has an odd rumbling/vibration in the steering wheel and sometimes throughout the entire vehicle. The issue occurs at all speeds, regardless of road conditions. The only consistent issue seems to be changing velocity...changing speed or direction. This trait is extremely annoying and if a smooth ride is important to you this is not the car your looking for. I have asked the dealer and he assures me this is normal.If Acura considers this normal automotive engineering they are in the wrong business. I purchased the vehicle using Edmunds. Had I seen this issue in their reviews, I would have rejected Acura in my considerations for a vehicle.

Underwhelmed but it’s what I got

Coming from a BMW.. I’m disappointed with the handling, gas mileage, and performance. It’s a nice looking comfortable car with better than average amenities. The car is bulkier than I had anticipated. I would likely not purchase this car again. However, for the right driver it’s a great car!

I've had this car since 9/2019 and it is quiet, sharp looking, and fun to drive. No issues just normal maintenance. This is my 2nd tlx, other was not an a spec, but loved it. Had it for 5 yrs with alittle over 100k miles with no issues. Looking at getting new vehicle maybe this year. Can't do wrong with this Acura.

TLX 4-cyl Tech ... Happy Owner

Went to the car dealer on weeknight. Saw a super low lease rate. I selected the car, but then they added the fact that it was for the base model only, add ttl, etc. As I was about the walk out, manager came by and discussed our options. Long story short, they we very nice, we got the car using the the lease rate in order to take advantage of their lease incentives and got $10k off of MSRP. After my 1st payment, I saw the payoff amount and indeed we saved over $10k. Now as far as a performance, the car is quiet, smooth, love the Apple Car Play and good sound system ELS. Driving position is good, seats are comfortable, minimum road noise. Handling is good. If you want to be picky, then Auidt A4 handles better, Lexus ES is quieter, BMW has better infortainment system etc. But for a new car under $28k, for what you get, it is one of the best deals.

ACURA 2020 TLX

You get a lot of car with a wallet busting price. The Acura TLX with the technology package outfits the car an upgraded stereo, real leather seats and a host of safety features. The car ride is quiet and firm. The car is response and much cheaper than the Infiniti Q50 or MB 300C and with more equipment.
