192k miles and still runs and looks like a new car! I love my tlx

Had a 16' TLX 2.4 . Put 30k miles on it during the 3 year lease. Traded for a 19' TLX 2.4 and have 8k miles on it currently. Reliable, tech packed, fuel efficient, and quiet. Excellent cars all around.

170,000 miles maintenance kept up to a T. Absolutely no issues to report here

Just bought my 2018 with 26 thousand miles 3.5 V6 and loving it .Owned 2 Acura legends and an integra loved those cars. Then went to infinity and Bmw and learned my lesson back to Acura and Honda never leaving again.

Great review. You’re one of my favorite car reviewers. Informative and unbiased

Bro , right when i get bored of my tsx, i click this video and yet you still manage to give the best review of our tsx gen while driving this TLX !! .. lovin my wagon

Just got a 2016 Acura TLX and I am OBSSESSED! Proud owner for sure 💙🥺

I just got 2017 tlx & I’m in love with it

Just bought a black/black CPO 2019 TLX 2.4 base with 25k miles on it. Also have a soul red 2021 Miata GTA at home, but ended up needing a second car with a bit more practicality. Base trim is nothing super fancy, but more than does the job. Seats are very comfortable, comes with CarPlay (no need for the crap built-in nav option), and quite enjoyable to drive. Also impressed with the standard safety features. Keep up the great work!

I gotta say this older TLX still holds its own. That Honda 2.4L VTEC 4-cylinder still sounds amazing, it’s got an amazing torque-converted 8-speed dual clutch, and it’s still very nice to drive. Wish that this 4-cylinder had SH-AWD, but Honda and Acura definitely made this car more premium than the Accord for that time. Just wish the V6 model had the dual clutch rather than ZF’s 9-speed which is still not a bad transmission. But overall, people discredit Acura for not being that extreme tier luxury brand, but honestly, their value with the amount of standard equipment is unbeatable and it’s hard to get that with most luxury brands nowadays. The Japanese luxury brands definitely have a different approach when it comes to luxury compared to their European competitors. The Germans really have that top tier luxury focus with the features and the optional extras that most luxury buyers will spend the extra money for. But the Japanese luxury brands focus a lot of value and bang for your buck, and I think that's great for someone who wants a luxury car, but you will get more standard equipment included at no charge, which is excellent.

Just purchased a TLX 2017 3.5, love it so far! I'm watching this to figure out all the fun little things/how things work and cool features about it, so thank you for teaching me! I didn't realize the seats were leatherette and not real leather until I watched this video. Hmm.

I own this exact car color and all. absolutely love it!! I got it hit in the door and repaired and painted it.. have half the value in it!! i absolutely love it I've had the tl type s then tsx. my fav was the tl type s but its gotten too old and hard to find one with lower miles.. I'm so thrilled I moved up the the mash up of them both*tsx and tL* this TLX is so nice and drives and rides so nice!! car is fast for sure and just all around loaded nice car

I have a taekedo intake swap, use 91 sonoco octane, cleanboost maxx fuel additive and synthetic oil and it runs great. Deff underrated car, I love that I went this route (I got the V6). Thanks German fan boys for keeping costs down.

Almost got one today. Had to hold off to watch your videos. I think I am liking it better now and think I may be getting a very good deal for it in Dubai. Will have to ship it to my country though but I believe it'd be worth it.

Excellent detailed, spot-on review. I bought this 2.4 TLX earlier this year and love it. My last car was a 2nd gen TSX like you had. You’re correct that it is a better drivers car than the TLX but the TLX is a more refined and better overall. Anyway, props again for this well done review.

Well done Kevin. Just purchased my first Acura this week. Pre-owned 2015 TLX w/Tech V6.....Loving it so far....

Good review. For my next car (which remains a fantasy, as I can't make any move automotively now), I'm undecided between a really nice sedan or a really nice SUV. Although I was aware of this car, it wasn't really one of those I was considering. Now it is. Frankly, I'd love to own the individual car you are reviewing, or one very much like it--good driving feel without the excess that hormone-driven teenagers seek, lovely interior, comfortable as both a daily driver and a road trip car, and both backup camera and satellite radio. And Bluetooth. As a middle-aged car guy, I find this a great combination.

Just went from a 2009 Lexus IS 250 to a 2018 TLX V6 Advance package...I love it

Well made video 👍🏽 and very useful

the most positive review of this car out there haha. I do agree its excessively hated on. its a solid entry level luxury car

Loved the review Kevin

Good review dude! Thanks

I have a 2015 Acura tlx with 185k and I must say that it still runs and drives like the day I bought it. Never any serious problems

Got my 2016 V6 SH-AWD . Handles great and looks great. The technology links the driver with the car.

I have the 3.5L 2016 TLX....fast AF , no problems. But then again I use Premium fuel and I keep up with routine maintenance, religiously. So my experience with this car is a positive one..my first Honda/Acura from driving nissan maximas for the past 10 years 🤮

You convinced me, think this is gonna be my next car. Stupid cheap for what you get, wish I could find one in stick though. Good review btw so honest and filled with actually relevant information.

Kevin you are a very good youtuber. The kind of lazy guy we like 😆. Really keep posting bro. 👍

I’m getting one today 🤞

Great video. You're right when you upgrade to a better car than what you had before people will start to get jealous of you. That's when you'll find out who your real friends are. If they're jealous & stop talking to you. They weren't your real friends from the start.

Nice review

I'm trying to decide between a 2020 TLX Base 4cyl DCT or a 2020 accord exl 1.5T CVT. Main wants are decent stereo, quiet ride, comfy seats, handling and spaciousness. Which car is the best choice ?

jus grabbed the 2016 V6! Thanks bro!

Thanks for this and the 2015-2020 video! There’s a ‘16 with

I have a CPO ‘15 2.4 Tech in white. I love the car. My only issue is it vibrates a lot sometimes at idle. I don’t know if it’s because of the 4cyl engine. Feel the vibration through the seats and steering wheel. But other than that, I like it. I actually would like to upgrade to the face lifted TLX with the more aggressive grill.

The only TLX I like is the A-Spec. Really looking forward to the redesign. The 2004-2008 Acura TL Type S is my all time favorite (non NSX) Acura.

I just relocated to Cary NC with my 2003 Acura TL with 294k miles. It's my only vehicle. I love ❤️ that car.

man i like the way you review cars

Just bought a 2020 TLX. The steering is seriously amazing!

I have a 2016 V6 .. I got it with around 40k miles and I'm at 76k right now with no problems except for the trunk latch motor went out..l great car over all

I definitely think upgrading to the Tech package is worth it especially for the Lane Keep Assist. In the end, it's a tricked out Accord. I get consistently 33 - 40 (hypermiling) mpg on the highway. The city is more like 19 - 23. What makes this vehicle so great is it's 8 speed dual clutch transmission which shifts crisp and is satisfying. The PAWS is great for driving around town at slow speeds, but at highway speeds the 'precision' isn't so precise. If you want performance you would have to move to the the V6 SH-AWD. The V6 is great. The transmission? Not so much. Thanks for posting. I really enjoy mine, my 3rd Acura.

I brought a 2020 TLX 4-cylinder - Base Model. With all of the negotiations, I’d got the car for only $30k, down from $34k sticker price which I think it a great deal. I am very happy with the car.

About to purchase a 2016 TLX with 120,000 miles on it. Do you think it’s a good buy? How much longer will it last me and is there anything I should look out for or do to it to make it last? Thank you love the review

Do these cars come with blue tint?? Ive notice a few of them like that

This OG wants to see a mid 2000's Lexus IS 250 and the GS 350 rwd vs awd and the comparison between the F Sport models vs base models. The good the bad and the ugly on everything these models have. I would love to see a video on these vehicles. I'm in the market for something toyota or honda most likely a used model with low miles. Something I can enjoy for the next 15-20 yrs and drive it for the rest of that vehicles life. I still have my 02 accord coupe and only 124,000 miles on it. It held up great these past 19 yrs. And allowed me to build up my savings where I was able to drive other cars which I always sold after I got the joy of driving those cars out of my system before the maintenance bills got to expensive 😂.so now it's time for a new ride to replace my old trusty accord. I'm going to give my nephew my old accord which looks almost new and has plenty of life in it and is expertly maintained. That day will be a sad day for me because I know the car will not be treated as I treated it 😭

Got a 2015 V6 Tlx Sh Awd with 32,000 miles .. i love this damn car so much

How are the led jewel eye headlights as I’m considering a 2020 tlx? Consumer reports says tlx headlights are ng . I’ve been driving a 2010 tsx for 10 years and those HID headlights work very well.

I adored my 2010 TSX 4 cylinder... Most fun to drive and my favorite car ever.. Got rear-ended by an f250 last night.. Totalled.. Now what do I do??? 😢😢😑What to buy??

117k and still zipping around with ease 😂 the seats in these by the way are so darn comfortable

Taking a 2016 TLX V6 for a test drive tomorrow. I've been driving stick shift all my life and am coming from a Nissan Maxima. It's weird seeing push buttons (on the V6) in the middle console. I'm afraid my right hand and left foot will be too lonely. But, hey, paddle shifters might be fun.

I want to know how is the acceleration on the v4 model? Actually its not about the power i am concerned about, its the smooth acceleration from standstill. I have had very bad experience with chevrolet they accelerate as soon as you touch the pedal, very jerky. my experience with toyota engines was good

Hello! I was curious how the leatherette seats in the TLX are in hot and humid weather in the summer? I recently bought a 2018 TLX and live in Texas so wondering what to anticipate in the summer lol

Bought a CPO 2.4tech as My long trip car, good gas mileage, I always drive from Northern California to Arizona and NorCal, the cars sits at 60k miles now super reliable, my last long trip car is 2004 tsx with six speed, bought it with 100k miles and put 70k in two years, it is reliable but burn too much oil and the transmission start acting up so I have to sale it.

I have a 2015 tlx 2.4 l and I have about 270000 km. I have never had an issue with this car!

I'm thinking about going to buy this car today a 2015 fwd advance package but I'm so Conflicted I love my 4gn tl

I just bought one today with 48 thousand miles going from trucks to this I do like it so far even tho it's been a few hours

Great review. Very intelligently presented. Granted, the tlx is more comfy than the tlx.....but you had made your tlx less comfy by modifying it with coilovers and you prolly made it louder with intake modifications so you made it rougher and noisier.. The best version of a car is factory correct and most modifications make it worse

I like that car but I heard it has some reliability issues with the transmission going out or something, any insights on that?

Thank you Kevin.

Bro can you review the mdx of this year 2014-2016?? I love acura but i have 3 daughter's i need space 😂😂💀

My 2016 TLX has Nav, Blind spot warning lights on both doors, and lane assist. it also doesn't have A stick shift.

Just bought a certified pre-owned 2017 v6 with the technology package for $22, 000 with only 20,000 mi on it. Went through Hendricks Acura near Raleigh. It is a sweet car I'm curious why it doesn't get more love

Just bought a 2017 tech package with 50k on it hoping it’ll last and always wanted a Acura

Wish i could buy one of those. But im still stuck with my 09 tsx, slurps oil like crazy when pushing it hard but i love the handling and the looks of it.

Howcome there’s no fog lights?

Have a 2015 2.4 tlx with 100 k miles no issues at all great car

I’m trying to decide between a 2020 tlx 2.4 base and 2020 accord exl 1.5t. Appreciate any guidance

I agree with you that the stock tires suck. My v6 Accord (TLX less upscale cousin) came with primacy mxv4s. I put on the pilot sport all season 4s and yup. Grips everywhere, no wheelspin, and I can even get a little rotation out of it. I wish that Honda would stop being so tight on getting every EPA brownie point by doing everything to neuter the driving experience.

Have 2015 V6 tech package just turned 50k no issues except a transmission recall.

I let go my Accord 2.0T getting a 2.4 2017 TLX with tech package. Im older now so I not longer push the accord like 5 years ago. Now im looking for better fuel economy and a quieter ride. Accord drives nice but I just cant stand the road noise, everyone can tell you driving if you are on the phone and it gets annoying at night highway drive. Even if you have the music volume up the speakers are mediocre, so theres that. I hope Ive a good exp with this car im little skeptical.

Thinking about TLX but I still like my 09 TSX. I'm starting to get a small noise of the VTC issue during cold start on my car. I don't have any oil consumption issue but do you think it will be next? I baby my car and only hit VTEC like 2 or 3 times a month.

Would black rims look good on this exact car or no?

Does it has remote start.? Like when it’s cold you can warm it up.!

I still have my 02 accord vtec 3.0 that old vtec is well cared for only 124,000 miles she's 18 and I know how to drive she still is fun to drive for an old girl

I noticed your list didn't include the 4th gen 3.7 TL. Has everything you mentioned with the double wishbone and SH-awd. That will blow you away, guaranteed.

I own 2015 2.4 TLX...My previous Acura's were: 2001 CL Type S, 2004 TL (6 manual).This is hands down he best ride...Not that fast but it is quick enough....Feels light and handles just right! I love this car for two things: PAWS and the Transmission...Great Review!!!

Is the 2015 Acura tlx tech v6 have a reliable transmission?

Wonderful informative review with hints of comedy. Going to trade in my 17 ilx for a 17 v6 sh-awd tlx next week. I was quite taken aback on the ride differences between the 2 cars when i was text driving it. The TLX's ride felt considerably smoother compared to my ILX, and that sh-awd was truly something else. Granted the ILX was the only car i've driven, the TLX impressed me. Whatever happened to your partner? I watched some of your videos with him in it a couple years ago

Just bought a 2017 tlx v6 tech pack lowered withr rims tints and rainguard done 43k for 23000

Made me have a much more and better appreciation for acura.... just got my license, been looking for a first car, maybe i found it?

I’m getting one

Thinking about buying one with 80k miles on it the carfax is clean

I'm considering buy a 2016 tlx v6 awd version used, won't be there any problems with the awd system?

It's crazy how much better looking the 2018+ front end is... And the a-spec, it's like a totally different car from the base, one of the best looking cars on the road. The base model? - I can't believe that it doesn't even have exaust tips, Honda was like "f*ck it", this car is meant for Hertz anyway.

You are very unbiased Kevin very open minded Redline Reviews turned very bias and spoiled

It turns off a lot, they bring factory problems with the battery. We have not even two years with it and in the first year it began to turn off itself.

Does it have apple CarPlay?

Don’t be so negative towards yourself bro manifest and be positive what you put out is what you get back in return

Owner of a V6 2016 TLX with 40k miles. No issues :)

Is this an Earth Dreams engine on this TLX?

The one I tested had 2000 miles on it this is 2021 it's basically new the 2016 I tested for under 20 grand they will be coming in now with low milage for a steal

I drove a ILX and TLX in 2016 and was extremely underwhelmed. The steering was the most numb video-game steering I've ever experienced in my life -- super terrible. Suspension felt way too soft for a "sport sedan", IMO, and the 9 speed transmissions were terrible. If I was cruising on the freeway, and floored, it it took an eternity to jump gears -- like ultra, ultra, ultra horrible. Totally unacceptable -- the ILX and TLX were both like that. And they both felt too slow to be included in the luxury car segment, IMO. I took a couple older TL cars for a drive (like 2012 ish) and I was MUCH more impressed with the, suspension, driving behavior, and transmission response - I came really close to getting one of those. I thought the TL was a much better car, overall, compared to the newer models. Just my two cents. = )

Every review I have read say the 4cyl car is a better balanced car, than the V6, and the 8spd dct, is superior to the 9spd auto in the V6 model. I have never really been a fan of the TLX exterior style. The mmc changed it for the better though, since it got rid of that hideous grill, and the A-spec looks especially good. The RLX is also an extremely underated car as well, especially the hybrid version. They are a really good preowned buy as well.

About to buy this TLX, my 1.5 accord succks

My brother has a 2017 TLx V6 excellent car.

CPO model?

You think a 2016 Acura tlx with 111,000 miles for 16,000 is worth buying?

Just picked up a 2016 CPO with the Tech and Advance package. Had a 2009 TSX that lasted me for 4 years, 120k miles. excited to see what this car can do.

The only problem I have with the TLX is the double screens I just think it's too much it makes no sense & it makes it look tacky to me in my opinion.

We have a 2014 Honda Accord with this same 2.4L engine albeit with slightly less power. We have 147,000 miles on it and no problems at all. I did drive this Acura with the 2.4L and 8-Speed DCT combo and loved it. Not the fastest, but definitely not slow. The drive-train allows this car to get out of its own way and keep up with traffic with ease. I really wish Honda/Acura didn’t get rid of the wonderful 8-speed DCT.
