I bought a brand new 2023 Acura TLX from Acura Carland
I bought a brand new 2023 Acura TLX from Acura Carland last April. That is when my nightmare began. The finance manager, "Bo" assured me that because I bought a service contract, I would get a loaner every time I brought the car in for service. I have never been given a loaner. With less than 25,000 miles on the car, the dashboard began flashing that all systems had failed and then..........it died. The last message it flashed was that I needed to bring it to the dealer. I did and the only thing the dealler asked me was if I had an appointment.

Just an OK, falls behind competition
Honestly, pretty disappointed. I remembered the 3.5 TL from before and just naturally assumed this new one got to be better. So, the good things are 1) the Advance TLX is loaded with features and generally a decent value 2) the ergonomics are decent...3) The expected reliability should be good.. Now, some major disappointments 1) the 2.0 Tech engine performance is decent, but it is loud, unrefined and thirsty...I rarely got to 28 mpg, 24 mpg combined (for comparison by 200 lb heavier 3.0 turbo BMW 540X was over 34 mpg on same trips and 27 mpg combined). Steering in short radius is couch-like, not sharp as it should be in sport sedans 2) The TLX is terrible loud on the highway going over 60 mph (wind noise, road noise, engine noise) 3) Quality of cabin material and the car overall feels cheap. I had a Honda Accord in 2011 and it felt more quality. This Acura model is behind Lexus, Infinity and the German brands. The back seat was too tight for the larger sedan segment 4) The infotainment system is just terrible; it feels ancient and unrefined... The touch mouse pad is a terrible idea and does not work on the go...Bluetooth connection been pretty unstable, very annoying In the end, if you get the TLX pretty cheap it may fit the bill. The older TL was a more fun vehicle to drive imo. I traded the car in after 2 months of owning, just too many annoyances for the car that cost $45K in the sports car segment with lots of competition
