Thanks for the tip about not needing to hold the engine button on the fob, that'll save a replacement battery over two or three years. Pretty sure that with the launch control, when it engages the engine will drop 2 or 300 RPM letting you know it's ready, then let off the brake. Wish Acura put an indicator on the cluster but that feature is not heavily advertised and very sparsely documented so it doesn't surprise me.

The SH-AWD really shines in winter. With a good set of winter tires, it will go just about anywhere. One foot deep snow, not a problem, climb steep hills with rooster tails of snow in your rear view mirror !

Loved this. I’ve had my ‘22 type S for 3 weeks and had no idea about any of that except the drive mode/tranny S thing and battery thing. The windows trick was dope, thanks for the upload! 🙏🏾

Nice tips and tricks. The part about using the remote to open all windows has been around for years. It’s to help dissipate heat, but I’d really love if we can put up the windows with the remote as well.

I have seen the fob will roll up the windows in Europe. I believe the reasoning we can’t in the US is due to safety regulations

I watched your video on the Acura type S and now it makes me so much more excited to get it. I'm looking at getting a '23 in mid to late August of '24. Is it safe to assume that all these features, tips and tricks will be on the '23? Any additional comments you would like to add please feel free. By the way, love your profile pic. I worked in the golf business on the sales and teaching side for nearly 25 years. I'm up in NY, the home of one of the most famous golf courses in the country, Oak Hill C.C.

Great video. Car looks good. Are you having any issues with it? I have 9000 miles on mine and I developed a rattle in the left side of the steering wheel. Took it in for service and now they tell me I need a new left front strut. My rims are fine no dents so I dont think I hit a pothole that bad that f*** up the strut. Please let me know if you herd of anything. Thanks and have a great day preferably with temps on the 70s👍😀

I like the TLX Type-S, but it doesn't outperform its peers. Can it be modified and is it worth it? (e.g. weight reduction ~400lbs overweight, intake / exhaust / tuning)

I believe there is a JB4 available for it now

@BobbyDigital_100 Жыл бұрын

And tbh, I’ve had many fast cars, 6-850hp, but daily drive my type S. KZfaq and the numbers don’t tell the story. It’s a blast to drive and the SH-AWD plus the low gearing make it super muscle car feeling when in S tranny/sport+. You just have to experience it. That being said, I’m going jb4 route as well, but it doesn’t need it imho 🙏🏾

@boboutelama5748 Жыл бұрын

They used a lot of aluminium for the body, what will make weight reduction difficult. We have the same problem for our RCF, that is a nice car, but has to carry around his 3800 pounds curb weight. There is no real solutions around this. For a car to be "luxury", they generally tend to adress road noise, this requires lots of panelling and sound insulation, to make the cabin quiet. There are a few exceptions, the Lexus IS350 comes to mind. Still reliable, not a road domination machine, but quite fast non the less, with reasonable weight to throw around in the curves. Some germans are even lighter, but the flimsiness of them is a deterrent. If you want a car that outperforms everything, you should look for a Ferrari four seater.

@kenster007 Жыл бұрын

Outperform how? What do you consider it's peers. I drove quite a few imports and was underwhelmed with different aspects of each car and got the Acura. They were all very fast-enough for me anyway. There is a lot more to this car than 0-60 times.

@cooleye8887 Жыл бұрын

Inspite of all the Aluminum parts they incorporate in this car it still weighs freakin 4200 lb curb weight. Big no for me, as much as i love this car the weight is the only thing that stops me from buying it.
