A truly fun car to drive! I love the smooth glide of "Comfort" mode, switch to "Sport" mode and you get an aggressive fun drive.The AWD is awesome, all the latest technology with a HUD display that keeps your eyes on the road! One of my favorite cars....Acura hit this redesign out of the park!

Shopped around extensively for my next car that will be utilized as a daily driver. I spend time in my car and I wanted an upgrade that gave me tech, comfort, and a bit of sport if I need it. Check all those boxes. I looked at the IS, the 3 series, A4, Q50 C class. For the money Acura delivers everything I wanted in very nicely appointed interior. I have had Acura's in the past and always was a fan. My last being a 2011 TL. Loved that car. On first glance in reviews and images online I was like meh with the new styling. Seeing it in person and sitting behind the wheel will give you a very different perspective. They did a fantastic job. Of course this is subjective. But it is unique in the space. Performance wise it does get up and move. However I preferred the previous V6 and its refinement. All these turbo 4's are the trend now. And Acura's iteration is certainly well done. Not a deal breaker for me. The infotainment system seems to be polarizing in many of the reviews I have read on this car. There is a learning curve but it takes all of about 10 minutes to get it and it works fine. Many have said they prefer a touch screen. I like this set up's positioning, which does not facilitate touch. It flows with the overall motif on the interior which I find unique and satisfying. All in all I am very happy I chose the new TLX. It has more room for a bigger guy like myself and gives you a lot of tech for the money. The SH-AWD system is fantastic. Reakkt the only thing I would like different is a V6. But again the turb 4 is not inadequate and moves this heavy sedan for its class along rather nicely. Rear seat accommodations are not the best which is odd considering the overall size of this car. So if that is important a crossover might be a better option. This car is not built for that requirement. It does what it does very well. It is unique (for now) and not ubiquitous like the 3 series, A4 etc...It gets looks. Very satisfied so far

My initial experience with the TLX was a 2021 model I had purchased in September 2021. Tech Package with the SH-AWD. Great car. So great, it may have saved my life in an auto accident Christmas Eve, 2021. The car had no issues for the three and a half months I owned it. The SH-AWD was exceptional, as was the ride and sound system. Even fuel economy wasn't too bad with an avg. of 28 HWY on the car. I liked that car so much, this past April I purchased a 2022 A-Spec FWD model. Its enjoyable to drive, with a slightly firmer ride, ELS sound system with a few more speakers than the previous TLX an ventilated seats. HWY fuel economy is about 29 to 31, the only drawback being that it takes premium fuel like that previous TLX I had did. Build Quality on this particular unit was subpar to what I experienced on my first TLX. Puddle lights on the outside of BOTH driver and passenger mirrors have been replaced, as has the drivers airbag for a rattle, in addition to one of the seals on the B pillar that was either bad or not set correctly which was allowing the drivers window to make an occasional tapping noise during windy days on the hwy. Would I buy this car again? I did it once, but this second time owning this car has made me rethink my decision should I be faced with it again. Don't get me wrong, the Acura is a good looking car, nice features and retains quite a bit of value after 4 or 5 years, but quality problems that aren't easily addressed or resurface can be a drawback for wanting to re purchase a 47k car.

2021 Acura TLX 4dr Sedan w/2.0T and Advance Package (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 10A)

The biggest flaw I found after driving a 2021 TLX advance package was the Acura logo on the grill and all it controls. When this gets dirty or snowy none of your convenience/safety features function at all. Over all this car is absolutely astounding and a blast to drive and the sport mode is a blast, cant wait to see how the Type -S hanldles in comparison

If you are looking to drag race, then why are you shopping for a sedan. This car has so many standard features that the only reason to upgrade is for the fabulous blue. This car has a ton of pep and nice touches. I prefer the TLX over the grandpas Lexus and the dated Infiniti. Anything other than a lease and you can keep your German high maintenance fixes. Update: after a year I still enjoy the car but at 5000 miles it needed a new steering gear box. Warranty covered the $3200 repair. I can’t keep cars out of warranty for this exact reason. It used to be an engine or transmission were the expensive repairs, now everything is over $1000.
