Black beauty with a sporty athletic stance

Acura raised there game with this car, powerful 3.5 liter engine mated to a smooth 9 speed transmissiom with lots of tech and safety features, nice growl to the engine with the multu cylinder management system to save you fuel. Very sporty looking car with a beautiful interior luxurious red leather seats with romote start. I love this car real eye catcher

It's very reliable

this car has really meet my expectations very roomy and very comfortable ride, has a lot of leg room in the front and back, the passenger front seat lays back far enough to where I lie down and sleep while on a long trip, after driving the Oldsmobile Alero for 13 years and some other cars in the past that I've own, this car is by far very much I like and will never go back to another model and I am now an Acura girl. I love all the features and technologies on the Acura TLX.

Acura TLX

Very nice ride, quiet. Excellent amenities and conveniences and also other things that I enjoyed very much. If the Homelink was easier to program I would be happier, but other than that, a good car.,

Fantastic vehicle to own

I bought this vehicle with the intentions of letting my kids drive it. It's great on gas and extremely comfortable. Best of all are the safety features and apple car play.

Best of the Best

I absolutely love my TLX Aspec. I've owned a few Acura's in my time and this is by far the best one yet! Good job on getting rid of that annoying grill.

Quality build by the Honda Motor Company

The car is very nice. Due to the Aspec package, it looks great. They performance is adequate and of course it is a quality build.

My second TLX and won't be my last

What more can I saw about Acura other than...AMAZING! I have the 2018 6 cylinder with Tech and adore it! Love that it has a bit of fire to it and it's red to boot :) I had a 2015 and the tech has definitely improved. The handling is so smooth and what an overall joy it is to drive.

everything electronics is poorly thought out

I came out of the last 10 years in BMWs and find this car to be a miss mosh of electronics that are poorly executed. No knob to manually tune the radio, a radio and climate control screen that is washed out in all daytime conditions, A GPS system that is off by about 200 feet when announcing locations, and always late, so you drive past your turn only to hear the turn directions a few seconds later. My iPhone has the location pegged within 5 feet. If you did not choose to raise the window or fold the mirrors in before you shut down, you have to restart the car to do that. But I save the worst for last. This car has an engine start stop mode that is mandatory in all but the Sport + mode, and that mode is a horrible mismatch of engine revs and shift points, making it all but unusable. In order to override this function, you must press a button located near the center armrest every time you start the car. If you don't, even if you come to a stop for a brief second, such as at a stop sign, or perhaps when inching your way into tight parking spaces, the engine stops. Acura defends this by saying it is to save fuel. They also equip this car with a remote engine starter so you can run the car to heat it up or cool it off while going nowhere. Saving fuel my xxx! Its a lousy design and they say they will not change it, so this is my first and last Acura.
