Acura for Sale in Gurnee, IL

After driving a 2010 TSX for the last 5 years, I am sold on the brand. I just purchased a 2015 TLX a month ago and so far, like the TSX, it has not disappointed.

drives and looks great wish i went with the all wheel drive version but FWD is still very good in the snow and v6 offers great performance

The current 2018 MDX is a very good and popular crossover. And in typical Acura form... they've managed to produce a vehicle that has versatility and value. One that has three rows for expanded carpooling, but is a bit smaller than many competitors; one that has a bevy of tech and safety features; and one that is incredibly smooth. For me, a single guy about to turn 30, I made the switch from the TLX sedan to this over 4,000-pound beast for a few reasons (none of which include needing room for 7 haha). But in making that switch, I knew things were going to feel different in terms of driving dynamics. And overall though, I can say it's been fairly seamless and that the MDX was a very familiar feel... highly typical when sticking with the same brand. And while on occasion it feels a tad big (like when parallel parking or weaving through the tight side-streets of a southern New England milltown), overall, I can easily say it drives smaller than it is... which is definitely a plus. Having a wider, more athletic stance its sister Honda Pilot helps it feel very planted in corners and not very top-heavy. The front seats are some of the most comfortable I've ever sat in (and as a car enthusiast, I've been in a lot of different cars). The Tech Package upgrades the sound system, which is absolutely fantastic and highly recommended for audiophiles like myself. Additionally, the Tech Package gives you Navigation, a slew of safety features, and remote start. And I can honestly say, even though it's only been in one snow storm so far, this car may as well be a plow. It's excellent! You actually work hard to get it out of shape, which tells me the traction control, SH-AWD, etc. are all doing their job. Unfortunately though, it's still lacking in some areas, the biggest being the power and drivetrain. I'm sorry Honda, but the ZF-9-speed transmission is garbage! After all the issues that Chrysler has had with it in their vehicles, I see Honda's implementation of it in their vehicles, in a luxury line no less, as an abysmal failure. It's wonky from a dead stop: if you baby it, you go no where... but if you give it any gas, it surges you forward like a rocket (but not in a good way). Believe me, I love a car that can get-up-and-go... but if ever I find a car I like has a ZF 9-Speed Automatic in it again, I'll cross it off my list and keep on looking... I don't care how much I like it. The V6 has a good, throaty sound (as throaty as you can get from a luxury crossover) and it provides decent but underwhelming power, something I attribute to the transmission too. Unlike the potent direct-injection 4-Cylinder I had in the TLX with the 8-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (a match made in heaven, IMO), the big single-overhead-cam V6 just doesn't deliver with the low-end torque, particularly at highway speeds. Yes, it's the "corporate V6", but it's aging... quickly! If I need to pass someone, I find I have to downshift at least two gears just to get going again. A larger turbo would probably be awesome in an MDX (like the 300+ HP 2.3L EcoBoost found in the Ford Mustang). Mate something like that with a better transmission (maybe the 7-speed dual-clutch found in the Sport Hybrid model?) and I think the results would be fantastic! Another part of the car I'm not thrilled with are the brakes. They are strong and quite smooth, but man, they creek incessantly. Every time I'm stopped, when I release the pedal to accelerate, I hear a creek from the brake caliber releasing. For a $50K luxury crossover this is unacceptable, and sadly, it's something Acura has had issues with in their SH-AWD vehicles going back to the 2012 TL! There is also (at least in my 2018) a squeal when hopping on and off the brakes, mostly when reversing (i.e.: when backing into a spot, etc.). I've had two dealers look at the problem... one couldn't figure it out so I received the "it's normal for the car" answer, and the other dealer thought they figured it out but I've heard it since. Not as often, but I've heard it. My concluding thoughts? For the money, the MDX is a really good buy and it IS a really good car. Would I lease another though? Well, it highly depends on what the alleged 2020 redesign brings to the table, because there is room for improvement. One can only hope the redesigned MDX gains more athleticism and power that mimics its smaller sibling, the RDX, while maintaining the smoothness and comfort MDX buyers love.

I bought a 2015 Acura TLX to replace my 2004 Acura TL that I owned for 8 years and that had over 286,000 miles on it. The TLX was the SH-AWD with Technology Package and it was worth every penny! I love this car! It is a severe upgrade from the TL and I have had no remorse from this purchase. I am an Acura owner for life at this point!

This car is excellent value for money. Even the base version has most of the features that typically are upgrades in other cars in the same segment.

Great car all around and the SH-AWD. Is great! I also got the tech package with the great stereo also a must. I had silver, grey metallic and black in my Acura’s lately!

This car would be ideal for a young family starting out. Safe, strongly made. Reliable in various weather conditions. Smooth ride. Good value for the money.

Have had to have it towed 3 times to dealer due to transmission problems. 2nd tow had new transmission put in with less than 5,000 miles on it. Transmission warning light came on again for a 3rd time and had to have it towed. Now waiting, while driving a rental, to see what Acura company is going to do about it. Very sad that this could happen with a new car. Wife likes the car but has fears when driving it that it’ll break down. The car has nice features but just isn’t very safe when transmission warning lights come on and tell you to pull over immediately and don’t drive it. Especially if it happens in a dark seedy area which is exactly what happened to my wife the 1st time.

Does not meet the standards expected from a high end $50k vehicle. Transmission is poor quality and the overall ride of rough. My 2001 Acura 3.2 TL is more reliable and has a better ride.

We discovered no mechanical issues of any kind with this vehicle. It has brand new tires all the way around, brand new brakes, Technology Package, ice cold A/C with dual zones, rear A/C with separate controls, navigation system, back-up camera, MP3/CD changer, premium BOSE sound system, DVD, Bluetooth wireless, XM Satellite Radio, keyless entry

This car is great to drive and really good power I pur chased this car in New York and it performed great come blizzard or storm . The AWD was spectacular the only down side to this vehicle was the substandard interior leather too thin. Mechanically sound but expect to possibly replace the Turbo charger at around 96000 miles , but otherwise I loved this car I actuality purchased it for my wife and she loved it more than I did.

This is a very nice car! I owned a 2015 TLX prior to this and while the RLX is not as sporty as the TLX it is much more luxurious. Extremely comfortable, responsive and roomy.

This car is a very nice car to have. It did everthing i needed it for and more. Very nice looking car and very reliable and for a good price. If you need a car thats not to expensive but nice looking car, i would recommend the acura ilx

Great vehicle that money can buy. Super sporty, reliable, and fuel efficient with an affordable price tag. They have the Honda reliability with great luxury features and also great for daily use.

The car is very ice in every aspect. I enjoy driving it and I like to look at it :) It gives you the same value you would expect from a BMW or mercedes but for a lot less money

This car had fill all my needs, I will recommend anyone who is willing to buy a car with the future. I made a right choice for this car.

I test drove a 2014 Mercedes C250 and the Acura TLX. The Acura won my vote hands down. I owned my last vehicle 13 years, looking forward to a long relationship with this beauty. Absolutely stunning vehicle!

Best drive train of any mid size SUV at the time having a V-6 rather than a small displacement engine with a turbo- Yuk. Turbos will be expensive to replace or maintain.

3 months ago Worst experience buying a car. The Acura had several problems with the transmission and they said it was "normal" on all the cars. The acuras come with a German transmission and they shift very hard.. It's uncomfortable for everyone in the car.. La peor experiencia que he tenido al comprar un vehículo ha sido aquí.. Los acuras vlenen ahora con transmisiones automáticas alemanas.. Los cambios ascendentes son muy bruscos y cuando recorta es aun peor. Lo más grave del asunto es que ellos te dicen que es" Normal".

This car is a nice driver, it has several features found in luxury cars. Comfortable and roomy for its size. It has a nice entertainment setup with backup camera.
