Decent car but would not recommend

Bought my Acura in 2020 and drove it for 3 years with little to no issues. Took it for an oil change recently and two separate leaks were discovered. Not happy about having to pay over $1500 for this, when my car is really only at 55,000 miles. Was planning on buying an RDX as my next car, but after having issues fairly early on, will not be purchasing another Acura sadly.

Excellent value in a luxury sedan class

TLX is a great car in the (near) luxury sedan class. Quality and value are high; this car is significantly lower in price than competing sedans in its class. Though not a performance sedan, the car handles competently and elicits confidence. Very quiet and comfortable. Beautiful exterior design. Interior is a little busy and controls could be better, but quality is there. Great gas mileage; almost 39 MPG on highway. Looking forward to the dual turbo TLX-S next spring!

My Dream Car

My Dream car. I love the excellence of it's audio system. I feel safe when I drive it. It rides smoothly and turns perfectly. I had my first Acura TL, a 2004 purchased in 2013 for 7 years and a 100,000 miles without a single problem.

Awesome car to drive!!!!!

This has been an amazing car to own and drive. Zippy when you want it to be and fuel efficient when you drive. I can average near 35mpg highway (interstate speeds) and 25 around town with stop and go traffic.

This car is a rock star!

I was turned off by initial reviews but bought this ‘17 model in ‘18 as a certified pre-owned with 12k miles. Two years and 43k miles later, I LOVE THIS CAR’. Solid, responsive, trouble free, stylish - enjoyable. No problems whatsoever! Only complaint is that, for a somewhat performance sedan, the transmission does not kick down as quickly as I would like but paddle shifter helps! 3.5L V6 with tech pkg.

Great price for performance

This car meets all my requirements for comfort, reliability and performance. The only complaint is the outdated infotainment center. The Ergonomics needs some enhancements including but not limited to more charging ports

Expensive car but worth every dime!

I have owned 2 Honda's prior to this Acura. Honda engines are so reliable that I will never own anything else. Great gas mileage for a 6 cyl. I have owned it for almost 2 years and I am very satisfied with this purchase.
