Whoever leads product development at Acura needs to be fired. Hiding the exhaust tips because it looks environmentally friendly? And this is supposed to be a semi-premium sports sedan? Why not get rid of the wood trim too?

I didn't know Acura had so many haters

This car looks good. I'm glad Acura kept the sharp, squinty headlight appearance well into its jewel-eye design. With the continuation/ evolution of the sharp,sleek squinty headlight designs, there's no mistaking Acuras with any other cars on the road.

Dude your reviews are seriously well put together. Didn't realize this was my second viewing.

I was waiting for this review from you! Thank you. I am a currently a 2012 TL owner and I must say they have stepped their game up quite a bit. 👍

Best-looking car from Acura since the 2008 TL-S. Great job, guys.

I just drove this car couple days ago and I'm coming from a TSX I really like how it drives, the seats are very comfy I just wish it had a turbo so It can be rated over 300hp or maybe 350hp I'm sure if Acura give us more hp we were gonna be more exited about this car but at the end of the day the TLX still at a good price especially for what your getting like LED headlights heater seats, push start, keyless entry, etc etc.

Great review. I was looking for a base model V-6 TLX review and I found it. Very informative and will get in one very soon.

I don't think we'll sometimes that acura/honda is lost I just think they are testing new routes to see where they want to be they always want to be "different" and some people love that fact. I love that the acura doesn't scream LOOK AT ME! It has a relaxed but outstanding attitude. Plus it's one of the cheaper luxury cars which it doesn't show.

2008 Tl owner here and I can say Acura keeps getting better

Just saw one today. Have to admit it does look better in person. Wish they would tone down the grille more though.

Really enjoying your reviews -- though I felt a bit exhausted after this one! It's okay to take a breath occasionally! :-)

Great review, and lovely car. I think that V6 and new 9 speed transmission combo sounds divine.

Thank you Redline for your review. I have been an Acura owner since 2007 with the original RDX AWD. I did a test drive and really love the V6 TLX.. The 4 cylinder was not available at Los Gatos Acura. I am seriously considering getting one. Great look and gotta love the SH AWD..

Thanks for this review Sofyan I really enjoyed it and have been waiting to hear a review on this new TLX!

nice review, sofyan. i really hope you post another once you get your hands on the 8-speed DCT with the DI four-cylinder, as you know the vast majority of reviewers have preferred that car with its lighter weight and more interesting transmission to the V6 versions.

+Redline Reviews Love you reviews! I'm having a hard time deciding between the I4 and the V6? Any huge differences that would lean more to one versus the other?

Your reviews are very informative, good job

I'm impressed you got to review this car so quickly! Long-time subscriber here and I love your videos! Do you think you'd ever do a review of the new Subaru Legacy?

Love the TLX! it's starting to grow on me

Thanks for the comprehensive review. Look forward to our review on the 2015 Acura TLX I-4.

U DESERVE MORE VIEWS AND SUBSCRIBERS, THIS IS A TOP CHANNEL

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW FOR SO LONNGGG!!

I bought one of these used in 2022. Love it.

Excellent review as always sofyan! You have to do a mitsubishi evo x!

Great review. Been waiting for this one for a while :)

Now that this car is affordable, any chance you can test drive a 3 year old one?

Seems like you got a new camera or something because the video looks higher quality but very good review!

Yessss thank you for making a point on the exhaust.

I'm really shocked you think Acura "nailed" the design of this car. I can honestly admit this should be embarrassing for Acura to produce and rant a car so boring and bland as this one. This car looks like a downgrade. I mean look at the 3rd gen tl. It looks so much more new, and stylish and has a distinctive shape from your average sedan. Type-s had quad exhaust and brembo brakes. And the nerve Acura stresses a sport sedan and has no shown exhaust and ride height like an airplane. It has the same recycled engine from 10 years ago. And yet this simplistic car is going to be a game changer for Acura..I cant wait till their bad sales catch up with them then they realize how complete bullshit Acura management is. Ever since Acura/Honda has been centrally established now in the US, its gone completely downhill. PLEASE ACURA GET A NEW TEAM!

Great review - I need to go on a test drive

Please review a 2015 WRX STi already!!

would be a perfect car if they didn't hid the exhausts.

EXCELLENT CHANNEL CONGRATS!!!

Sofyan, did you ever drive the SH-AWD version? If so, how does it compare to the FWD V6?

Love this! Only dislike the wood and the hidden exhaust.(Btw nice Corvette C7 in the side and rear mirrors at 14:00).

So what happens when to dump a coffee or soda on the electronic gear shifting consoled?

Great review as always.

I miss the TL!

so what happened to the TSX sport wagon?

Tech package is nice but read vehicle description carefully.....make sure it specifies V6. For the price point I got mine at the tech package was pretty well equipped. I might miss the heated steering wheel in the winter but that’s what gloves are for right?

How is this engine compared to the optional 3.7 from the TL?

I am a Acura Fan. This is proper detailed review. Really like it. Would like Acura engineers to work out more rear passenger space. Lower roof size gives an impression of smaller car even the TLX has more rear leg room.

I was just curious is that real brush aluminum or sliver painted plastic. Also is it real wood?

Very interesting they used the 10th gen 2018 Accord sport rims/wheels on the prototype model back in 2014 very interesting

Found one of these 3.5 L V6 models AWD with 68k miles on it. For $21,000…. Worth it ?

Could you review the 4-cylinder and SH-AWD models too?

Awd or manual option? I think they would widen their audience with more options along those lines

nice improvement but i think the one to go for is the 2.4 with the dual clutch. great price and really nice ride for the money.

I just picked up a 2017 V6 Tech Package. I fucking love it.

What does this compete with? A4, 3-series or A6, 5-series? Or is it a nicer accord

Great review dude! Thanks

Amazing review Sofyan.Whats the song playing from 0:05?

Is the 8" information screen the same that is in the current Accord?

Can you do a review of a 2010 Lexus is350 please? Theres none out there that i can find. Just the f sport models and/or 2009 2011 models.

Just did a test drive, dealer let me drive all by myself (awesome) so I had the opportunity to beat it like a good horse. After owning a 2010 TL V6 SH-AWD for four years, it only makes sens to upgrade into a TLX, however, I must admit theres very good competition out there for the same range (IS350, wow) However, the TLX is more price competitve and I just love driving an Acura for some reason (understated luxury). So my conclusion is a sportier drive, more lightweight, very agile, punchy BUT definitely less of a beast... Hoping to see a Type-S resurface in 2-3 years and trade-in for that... But honestly, great car, and a great bang for the buck. PS: Copper black and red pearls looked awesome. Special Dealer Package (19 inch rims + aero kit) kinda sounded like a rip off considering I could get way nicer aftermarkets (and the aero really isnt that awesome)... also gotta say BIG BIG disapointment to lose the pipes... So... Anyways, good review all-around. Looking to read more comments from others on the ride. cheers

Did the FWD V6 model have torque steer during your review?

When are we going to hear your thoughts on the 4 cylinder and SHAWD V6?

What's with the shaking that seems to start around the 14:00 minute mark?

Very informative. Thanks!

Saw one of these recently in person and was shocked that I was interested. I've always discounted the new Acura models based on the lack of exhaust tips - lazy design language. It's a nice looking car, much nicer than a video can represent. However, that rear needs some jazz!

If you could get your hands on, please review the rare to find 05-09 Acura RL. That was one of the nicest Acura looking sedan.

Centre console is very similar to NSX, which is quite cool. :)

Where do these car reviewers get their music from ? This channel and Cnet always have the best intro songs.

Finally a compete detailed review. @Redline, you recently reviewed the Hyundai Sonata 2.0T with the ultimate package with a MSRP just over 34k. Since the fully loaded price is similar to the base model of Acuras' V6, which car would you choose between the two?

I have always liked how Acura has certain features as standard equipment such as the LED headlights on a sub $35k car. I see so many premium German brand vehicles ( in the usual boring silver, white or black exteriors) without LED or HID headlights as standard equipment. It makes me laugh !!! Great review as always though !!

I love the opening!!!

the suspension has been revised in thickness of sway barsand dynamics which should yielda greater grip

Was just driving my TLX V6 on Wisconsin Avenue last month.

It's interesting that Acura opted for a transmission made by someone else. I can't think of a time in Honda/Acura history when they've done that. This car looks nice, but I agree with your take on the interior. The design, materials, and graining of plastics look a notch below Audi and others. The latest Accord was a huge leap forward in interior quality compared to the previous generation, so a similar jump with the TLX would have made sense.

very nice review. well done.

Hey there, Acura claims the new TLX kept the same "roomy interior" as the outgoing TL. However, Acura's website listed the TL's rear legroom at 36.2 inches and the TLX's at 34.5. In other words, the TLX’s rear legroom is 1.7 inches narrower than the outgoing TL and only 2 tenths of inch ampler than the outgoing TSX. Assuming that information is accurate, how can Acura calim the TLX is as roomy inside as the discontinued TL ?

Love that engine growl. Hate that exhaust are hidden.

Have you considered doing a Sentra SE-R Spec-V, last generation sentra?

I was in one of these yesterday its nice. it pulls hard I like it. 290 hp is not bad.

Soyfan, do you think this or the q50 is a better car and which one would you buy?

The intro music is on point

I'm driving a 2012 TL and when you mentioned about the tire size shrinking down from 245 to 225, that was really turning me off on the TLX!

What car is used for the engine sound at the start of this video?

I do have an Acura TLX and I love it ❤, no complaints about it

does this car have Daytime Running Lights?

Really nice car. I will most likely be trading in my 12' Accord for this.

you should talk about the paddle shifter feel..does it shift fast, slow? the world will never know...

They will never make one as Nice as the 2nd or 3rd gen TL as far as looks go! IMO

I got this car .I got the awd sh.Tech package only way to go otherwise why get the lower model.?

Nice review!

This car looks nice and the overall package looks nice, though it sucks that Acura replaced the TSX and TL with this car. TSX was nice cause its a nice premium family sedan, where as the TL has always been a premium sports sedan. Combining both kinda kills off its purpose. Is it a premium family sedan? or is it a premium sports sedan? Either way I'm starting to like the Acura line up. Hope they don't screw up with the NSX.

does anyone know the name of the opening song please!

4 years later, I purchase one and I must say, it’s a nice car but...the 1st to 2nd gear shift is hard and the transmission shutters between 35-45mph. The radio doesn’t have Bose but it’s not too bad.

2012 acura tl has aged very well my opinion best car they made.

Idk if I heard right but did he say 9 speeds? In my opinion that's a bit overkill

Why'd you choose to review the FWD V6? Who would buy that configuration?

Someone please tell me the sweet twin turbo in the GTX will make it into an uber version of the TLX

i agree they need to show a nice duel exhaust.

The Exhaust tips being hidden. That is new to me but oh well. I do like having them flared down and being hidden should prevent you getting cut or burned. The grille and crease Line. Looks like a dress shirt that has been pressed within an inch of its life. I do not like them or any automaker for that matter. Bring back the Amber turn signals in the rear. I like having the contrasting color to make it more obvious difference between turning and sitting at light. Just got a 2017 and your right key fob seems more steady. Personally I prefer the Sequential Multipoint fuel injection but that’s just me. Nav map updates take forever. Did a 2020 map update and after about eight hours still only 65% complete. Fortunately the map update part is complete just downloading the database/POI portion. For the first part (about two hours). The vehicle can’t be moved but engine needs to be running. The second part does not require to be stationary but still takes quite a while. Good news is update can be self installed so saving dealer labor and my 2020 DVD was just south of $130 with expedited shipping and taxes. Took my first semi road trip the other day and getting 30 MPG average city/highway. Read the owner’s manual. 91 octane is “Recommended”. Around DFW area you are pretty much stuck with premium if you want to run 91 Octane. Most mid grades are 89 so to get the benefits of 91 you have to go 93 Octane.

Acura tlx vs Nissan Altima? Looks, Reliability, Speed, and interior.

Completely different segment and sized vehicle, but you recently reviewed the 2015 Hyundai Genesis. Both vehicles have V-6's and similarly equipped with navigation etc. both can be had for right around 42k. Genesis seems significantly more refined. Thoughts?

From what everyone says, the I4 model is better. I'd love to see your viewpoint on that model vs. the V6

I got a 2008 rdx and it's turbocharged! The new rdx isn't but is variable valve timed!! I'll probably modify the Valves to stay open. But it's all good XD

Can any real owners give reliability report of the tlx v6? I want to buy the used tlx v6 but it has many recalls and complaints! Please reply asap. Thanks!!!!
