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???

I’ve owned many Acura’s in the past however in the last 10 years I have gotten away from them due to build quality, looks and lack luster performance. My last Acura that I really enjoyed was a 2005 RSX Type S. I recently purchased a 2022 TLX Type S and after a month of driving this car, it has brought a smile back to my face. The adaptive/double wishbone suspension is extremely WELL balanced. SH AWD is the BEST in class, torque vectoring is a TRUE mechanical feature that makes this thing corners better than that Ultimate Driving Brand, the LOOKS, OMG and with the Tiger Eye Pearl color, it attracts many inquisitive busy bees. Critics constantly compare these cars to the wrong German rivals. It should be in direct competition with BMW M340i, Audi S5 and MERC AMG C43 of course with Acura taking the advantage over pricing, reliability, and longevity. I live in North Georgia where typical driving encompasses curvy, twisty, and mountainy roads not tracking or drag racing. This car is much more fun in that category. On long road trips, even in the most aggressive driving mode the Type S WILL NOT beat you up like others. On my wish list, if Acura can take the underpowered, overrated, and overpriced PMC edition loose some pounds, add about 45 more ponies, heads up display along with an all-digital display I guarantee ALL automakers would go back to the drawing boards. Remember the 1991 NSX that made Ferrari go back and think things over? Come on Acura you introduced to us the FIRST Japanese luxury line, make your Brand undeniable like say Apple?
