Red TLX

Mr. Galam was great. He was super nice and polite. The car is great and fun to drive. However, the time it took to finish the finance part of the deal was extremely lengthy. The entire purchase took four and a half hours. I feel like the financial portion takes way longer then it should, especially When there are no problems or issues to work through.

Fabulous vehicle!

Still love my 2008 and wanted new safety features! Best vehicle I have ever owned of 8 over 58years and never had one longer than this 2008 TL. Hope to be driving the 2017 just as long!

Amazing Car

I've had this car for a couple of months now and I can truly say, this is the best car I've ever owned. I was deciding between the Infiniti Q50 and the Acura TLX. The Infiniti Q50 has a very harsh ride, and that was ultimately the deciding factor when I chose the Acura TLX. I feel it has a smooth ride along with sportiness. Very comfortable car, nice seats and ergonomics.

2017 Acura TLX

After driving an Acura ILX for the past three years, my new TLX is by far the best of the three Acura's I've owned. Everything my salesman has said about this car is spot on. This is a great automobile.

Acura TLX vs. Honda Accord.

I leased a 2017TLX after driving a 2014 Accord for 3 years. The Acura is quieter and handles a little better than the Accord. Like the styling better too and there are not so many on the road. However, the Accord seemed a little roomier inside. Also the interior on TLX looks a little cheaper than Accord EXL. The trans on TLX is a little jerky but I understand there is a software update from dealer to fix the problem. Will see when I bring it in for first servicing. Some advice for Acura. Why not make the passenger side blind spot camera available on all Acuras. This is a great safety feature. For some reason it was only available on Accord EXL models. Makes no sense. I really miss it.

Simple luxury

After owning several Honda's , I decided to try Acura. While there is definitely similarities between them, the Acura is much more refined with quieter and smoother ride. The all-wheel steer system makes the car corner very well. While I am sure there are more luxurious interiors, nothing can beat Acura for value. While the styling is a matter of opinion, I like the fact that it is a vehicle that stands out and is not seen every five minutes

My 4Th Acura

4 Acuras from the same Dealership in 11 years , says a Lot. Great Customer Service and great service department. The same sales people have been there which is unheard of in today's market. It shows loyalty to the dealership Herb Connolly of Framingham

TLX 2.4 Tech hits the spot

The TLX 2.4L tech is a high value play. The car rides quietly, the interior is nice and the technology package adds many features such as a leather interior, upgraded ELS stereo and some driver safety features. The car is not yet broken in and is getting around 27 mpg in mixed driving. I expect that will improve as the car breaks in. The TLX is up against some tough competition so the Acura dealers are pricing the car attractively. If your in the market it's worth a test drive.

Instantly regret this car

Should've read reviews and driven the car longer before leasing. Wish I could get out of it. I went from a 2014 Nissan Altima 3.5 SL to a 2017 Acura TLX 4 cylinder. Altima is much smoother, roomier, and nicer looking overall. Problems with the TLX: Transmission awful - jerky, no acceleration. Slow breaking. Not enough head room. Climate is only touch screen - have to take your eyes off of road for too long. Screens don't look advanced and seem cheap. Front seat doesn't go up high enough for the tall dash board. Can't see any bit of the car hood. DO NOT FEEL SAFE. I could be running over cats and dogs and not know it til they are under my wheels. Bad quality back up camera compared to Nissan Altima.
