Most reliable and beautiful car I owned.

Great looking car and lots of leg room. Still under factory warranty. Garaged, non-smoker - 1 owner. High performance tires. Has every option except navigation.

Awesome Acura

Perfect car. Sporty, classy and all of the above. Beautiful on the outside and cool on the inside. Enough options to please anyone. Acura does not disappoint. Though the nine speed transmission and the button shifting takes some getting use to. Over all a great car for anyone!

good car

It is comfortable, quiet. The engine is powerful. Nice LED lights. The transmission is not reliable, and it makes very funny shifting especially when applying the brakes to slow down. It shifts down and the rpm goes up. It causes some additional braking like engine braking. I have not seen a car like this, and I think this is a problem that Acura may have fixed or improved on the 2016 version. I would say it may be a good car for the money. However, it can not compete with others like Lexus, Audi, BMW, and Mercedes Benz.

Wish it drove as good as it looks!

Love the design inside and out. I've had a Lexus for 20 years (ES and GS) and thought I'd give Acura a try when it came time to buy a new car. This acr has been in to the dealership too many times t count for MAJOR repairs. Thanks goodness it is still under warranty. Sometimes when it comes to a stop (never know when this will happen) it has an enormous after-kick once it comes to a stop. Still scares the s*** out of me when it happens. I was told several times that this phenomenon is not a safety issue and that some of the 2015s have this issue. There's not a "fix" for it. I've been in contact with corporate, but ...

Great deal on a new car

Perfect car for my career. Great gas mileage. I got it for a very nice price with low miles on it. Smooth ride and great condition.

Looks good? Yes. Reliable? Maybe.

I just purchased a used 2015 Acura TLX and it had just over 46,000 miles on it. While I was in my third day test driving it, I had 2 warning lights come on. I'm sure that one can trigger another, but when in the market for a vehicle, flashing dashboard lights arenot something you want to see. I took it to the dealership and got a loaner vehicle until they could repair the issue. At least it is still under factory warranty. The vehicle handles pretty well. I'm still getting used to the engine cutting off at stop lights and any other time you depress the brake for more than about six seconds. Apparently it is a fuel saving effort by Acura. The transmission does take a little bit of time to get out of first gear unless you really punch it on the gas. Before switching over to this 6 cylinder Acura, I was driving a 6 cylinder 2013 Nissan Altima, which has a CVT transmission. I know a lot of people do not think highly of a 6 cyl CVT but I actually prefer it to this Acura's 9 speed transmission. Seems like it's more responsive.

Honda made, Acura luxury car, what's not to love

I was looking for a car that offered me the "new" car experience but not at the new car price. With only 13,750 miles, I got exactly what I was looking for. The ride and the quality of the car itself, speaks a lot about the Honda/Acura ownership experience.

Acura still proves to be a luxury reliable leader

Car is like driving on clouds, sound system is better than Bose, and power/performance/reliability is too notch. Roomy and tech package brings a whole new driving experience.

The first three weeks...

Good car. I decided to let someone else take most of the initial depreciation off. The good. Very quick. Stereo is a killer. More than enough room. Handles well under most conditions. Have the V6 AWD with Tech package. What?s average? Transmission hunts for gears. Like the fact that the engine cuts out at traffic lights. Sometimes when it restarts it is abrupt. Had a Ford C-Max that did it better. Seats could be more comfortable. Navigation is good but Acuralink doesn?t always give the best directions. Some understeer but the has to be 20mph turns mostly on ramps. Still getting used to push buttons. Had a Plymouth 40 years ago that had the same thing. The bad, not crazy about the electronics. Sometimes it takes a good five minutes for the Navigation system to accept commands. Navigation screen sometimes comes in dim for no obvious reason. Review would be complete with some winter weather but it?s almost Memorial Day. This is a really nice car which I am very happy with though I don?t think any car is perfect.
