This is my 8th Acura. There’s a good reason I keep coming back. No problems, lots of features and it retains its value.

The TLX it’s not trying to be a German sports car. It’s a comfortable reliable great handling car. Steering feedback is awesome With the lowdown torque. The interior has so much style.

The ride is a little firm around town but smooth sailing out on the highway.

2021 Base TLX: Not my cup of tea

My 2020 TLX was at a local dealer undergoing some minor work having to do with lane keep sensors. They gave me a 2021 Base TLX to rent to drive for a few days. The positives: Great new styling inside and outside. Interior has great graphics from the infotainment and interior materials have improved. Exterior the car is lower and wider with a clean modern look. HOWEVER it didn't take long for me to take pause. Compared to my 2020 2.4 tech, the ride is jarring. I literally feel every bump on the road. Entry level luxury sedan? I don't think this so. This is my number one deal breaker. Second, the 2.0 turbo engine is loud and sounds coarse befitting a luxury car. The minimal difference in speed from my 2020 2.4 tech package for me isn't worth it. Finally I found the original sticker badge for my 2020 base TLX rental the dealer let me drive. For over $43,000 this car rode rough that prevented me from using it as a daily driver, sounded coarse and loud and the base infotainment didn't even have carplay or android auto!! What a mess. Think hard and long before you buy unless you can live with its faults. In comparison the previous gen TLX was a dream to drive, sounded refined and cost less! What are you doing Acura???
