@@layne4376 It has higher predicted reliability than the BMW, according to consumer reports. Also, unlike the BMW, it has real torque vectoring, double-wish bone suspension and adaptive dampers standard. It's also $10K less than a comparably equipped M340i (with xDrive), with a better audio system and ventilated seats. The BMW needs the track pack to get better brakes. Also, the TLX looks much better. There's more to a car beyond 0-60 timing, and it's as fast as most of the other cars in the segment (Genesis, Lexus IS, etc.). You're crazy if you think the BMW will last longer than this Type S.

I love the TLX and think it’s perfect with the exception of the output … ~45 more horses and it would be absolutely perfect. A lot of people think the 355 is adequate, which it’s great, but when the Stinger and G70 produce 376/365, and the M340i produces 382, I’m thinking it could stand to hit ~400. - But then again, Honda has always been conservative in their numbers … dah well.

I’ll have to disagree on the touchscreen. It’s just more convenient not having a touchscreen to be honest you have your eyes on the road and your hands on the dial. I think it’s just depends on the driver. I think they are doing Wonderful with the non-touchscreen.

I own a 2021 with this same exact spec. I rate my car a 7/10. Design is amazing, sound system and awd system are fantastic and the suspension is solid but everything else is downhill from my experience and hearing other owners as well. It’s not as reliable as you might think.. there have been many problems with transmissions to tech and body frames. I personally hate that the gas tank is small and limited performance to weight ratio. Rotors and brakes from Honda are absolute crap for this car. Lastly.. the value is starting to drop on the car unfortunately. I don’t regret it getting it but im getting rid of it next year for the Germans. In particular that Audi RS5 Sportback. But I recommend this car for a nice sporty comfortable daily commuter for this segment. Hopefully my honest experience helps out a potential buyer in here.

@layne4376 it actually is. Just look up REAL CUSTOMER complaints and actual recalls and customer class action lawsuits that have to be reported to the government. Making car and drivers 10 best or Consumer Reports reliability scores judged by bais 15 person team is not the same as actual consumer real world reported issues. While BMW has come a long way, thier still internally junk made of plastic parts. Lexus and Acura, while not as popular, still have triple the lifespan. Sorry to be the one to break it to you. I mean, why do you think the resale value can't hold up to a similarly equipped Japanese luxury vehicle. People know their junk there, just great status symbols.

@TheBreakfastLover 3 ай бұрын

@@layne4376 and now I'll explain how you contradicted yourself. You downplayed the TLX Type S beating the G70 in the Lightning Lap by saying "no one tracks their cars". MotorTrend's Figure-8 hot lap is a better real world metric as the speeds reached are closer to real world speeds, with an emphasis on driving dynamics like cornering. So with the TLX Type S beating the G70 (and the M340i) in the Figure-8, you acknowledged the TLX Type S is the better handler.
