Definately NOT a gussied up Accord

This is my 6th Honda product (My first Acura)...Having owned 2 Accords previously let me say to all who believe its just a fancy Accord, you are dead wrong!! I went from a '17 Accord Touring V6 to this '20 TLX Advance AWD model and let me say there is quite a difference in the ride and just the overall feel of the car. Its quieter, handles better, its heavier and you do feel it, the ride is a bit smoother and the two screen dash is excellent as I do like a separate screen for the navigation system. You can say the dash is dated all you want, I cant stand the CHEAP STAND UP navigation screen in most new cars as that looks cheap and like an afterthought just planted on the dash. Overall the car is a bargain in the luxury car field, lastly the TLX in my opinion is NOT entry level, you want entry level then buy the ILX. This car holds its own against any Lexus ES, BMW 3 series, Audi A6 or MB C class. Drive one you may be surprised

First Acura

So far we are enjoying the TLX and are glad we decided on the TLX over the ILX model. The ride is smooth and it handles well.

Great Handling Ride

This TLX with the A-Spec package is a great handling car in all three drive modes and it has plenty of power when needed for merging and lane changing with confidence.

I like all the technology

The car rides amazingly. It is very easy to handle. It feels really solid but not bulky. The trunk has more than adequate space and I like the back seats can lay down.

2020 TLX A-SPEC Love/Hate

I love and hate this car. I love the look and value for an entry level luxury sports sedan. I hate that Acura didn't improve the dual screen info center. It's extremely dated. What's the purpose of having dual screen but Apple car play isn't controlled by the touch screen. Major disappointment. Every 2019-2020 Honda Accord has a single touchscreen to control Apple car play. The seats are extremely stiff and the ride isn't any better than the Accord. Also no USB in the center armrest console. Which would be the best place to put your phone when being controlled by the car's info system. Save $10,000 and go with the Accord.

Owned a TL. best ever. Now the TLX . excellent.

I love everything about this car. Beautiful lines. Classy interior. The “bells and whistles” of the Nav and radio are very intuitive...easily figured out. I like the clean interior of the dash.

2020 Acura TLX I'm Loving It!

This car exceeds all of my expectations in regard to performance driving handling and technology. This car has the SH-AWD and it just sticks to the road. It can have a very sporty feel or very luxurious ride depending on the choice you choose from the driver mode.

Great value

After comparing many AWD sedans, this was the best for the money. Comfortable and very drivable. Can’t wait to see how it handles in the snow.
