2021 CT4-V RWD is better imo, 600 pounds lighter, more torque, magnetic ride, better traction modes and probably better driving dynamics over all at a better price.

@@ssaini5028 By FAR the ct4v has the acura beat, I'm willing to bet that the weight distribution of the new type S is like 60\40, instead of almost 50\50 for the true drivers car, the ct4v. The typeS is geared more towards the generation that grew up watching fast and the furious, who know nothing about real driving dynamics.

Bro, you're the first reviewer I've seen so far actually using the paddle shifters. You drive corners the way I do and you know how to get the car, especially that turbo, to make noise. Question: Does "manual" engage just by clicking a paddle? How do you get out of manual, by holding a paddle? I hear the Type-S doesn't let you get too red before up shifting for you.
@MrTresto 3 жыл бұрын
If it's anything like my 2018 TLX, you get into manual by just tapping the paddles, and out of manual by pressing on the 'drive' button next to reverse if you are in sport+, or by waiting a second if you are in any other mode. And no it doesn't let you go beyond the redline.

The last video I watched the driver was “underwhelmed” by the handling. He was driving in comfort mode in a 45 mph zone.🤦🏼 I bought the 2019 tlx aspec after watching his reviews. It’s been a few months driving the type s and once again our reviewer nailed it. The car does it all, bias included and in person she’s so pretty. I don’t know how much it matters that the Audi’s Mercedes and BMWs have more horsepower. The Suspension, engine tuning, torque vectoring, SH-AWD, twin scroll turbo etc. These features make the extra 40hp a whatever. The stinger keeps getting compared to this car as well. Sorry stinger fans… sure both are cars but you know.

So happy to see Acura finally coming back strong ever since they goofed with the peak grills. The TLX Type S is actually good looking, good value for everything, and the interior is nice. I have a few issues with the car but they more personal opinions. Being that it only has 355hp while weighing 4200lbs is a big issue if your main goal is performance. I don't like that its made in the USA for car that cost well over 50K; I much prefer it to be an import. The car is also only NA market which means low aftermarket support.

The Type S has such a good look. Choosing between this and the G70 will be difficult, for me. I may also need to test drive the IS500

TLX will be more reliable in the long run, and looks alot more aggressive than the G70. G70 definetley is quicker than the Type-S, everybody is saying how lackluster the power of it is compared to everything else in it's class but just wait for aftermarket to come. Lower down pipe and a stage 1 tune will make it a beast 😎

I would take this over the M340, S4 and C43, the TLX has one of the best AWD there if not the best, it has actually more space everywhere, I find the design to look more modern, sporty and aggressive, the engine has good power and sounds good, very good interior and more than plenty of new technology, the 10 speed auto shifts basically as fast as a DCT but with short gearing, but is not perfect, I wish it had a little more power, it’s probably underrated but close to 400hp would be nice, the exhaust sounds on point for what it is but I would like a louder exhaust option, I wish it was a little lighter it’s actually very heavy for the type of car it is, other than that I think the car is perfect, I love all the german competition and my choice before was the Audi S4 but now is this

I agree with a lot of your points. I wish this car was a few hundred pounds lighter and had about 20-30 more horses. That would just about make it the best in segment bar none.

What I've learned from driving a VW is that the lighter car is always more fun to drive.

Hello Topher, Thank you for your reviews of the 2021 TLX A-Spec and Type S. You had very good reviews on both and I trying to decide which maybe better for me. I drive an older Lexus GS 350 and have always liked the 6 cylinder engines in my cars, so I’ve initially leaned towards the Type S. And I have disliked most 4 cylinder turbos that I have driven. But the A-Spec sounds like it may be different. I won’t be driving super fast or ever going on a track. I’m mainly looking for a daily driver that is always fun to drive, with enough power when I want it to have the boost. I plan to test drive both, but please let me know what you think / recommend. I was hoping that you would comment in your Type S review on how that compares to the A-Spec, but you didn’t mention anything. I will definitely get an SHAWD model in either vehicle. Please let me know what you think. Thanks a lot. Brad

I'm firm on purchasing one. Any suggestions on modifications?

Are you doing the new G70 as well? Seems to be a direct competitor to this and the IS500.

Be careful my friend. I'm scared watching you driving. By the way I'm from Michigan. You always provide best reviews...
