This is the best looking car in the class imo, absolutely gorgeous. Could use some more power on type s trims and maybe a digital cluster.

@MrThetruth1986 Жыл бұрын

Why does so many ppl downplay the TLX because of its horsepower? I always thought luxury cars were more about longevity and a very smooth ride rather than bolting down highways like a Hellcat

@naomiwhite1592 Жыл бұрын

Agree 💯. I'm not looking for a race car but a dependable car that also looks good. The TLX is the one.

Love the interior of these new TLXs, recently purchased a 2023 TLX Type-S and its been a blast to drive!

@macjoseph2375 Жыл бұрын

Congratulations 🎊! Do you think it has enough horsepower and torque because a lot of car reviewers say its kinda disappointing. I like the way they look and the interior definitely screams premium.

@marco30599 Жыл бұрын

@@macjoseph2375 for daily driving yes it does, it truly does @ 355hp & 354 ft-lb of torque you can pretty much outpace and be faster than most daily traffic you’ll encounter. They only disappointed because it’s not fast enough to beat out most of the other competitors in the segment. This car is meant to be a fun daily driver that’s performance oriented with a luxury focus. If you wanna be the fastest car on the street you’ll need to look at M340i or go balls-to-wall and get a M3 Competition

Honda makes a descent AWD system with SH-AWD. Never understood why they generally reserve it for Acura only. An Accord and Civic even with SH-AWD lite would be nice. Even the Prius, Corolla and Camry can be had with AWD.

@drivescene6747 Жыл бұрын

The Pilot, Passport and Ridgeline all have a similar system to SH-AWD, I forgot what they named it but it’s almost mechanically identical to SH-AWD.

Not sure it compares as well to the Lexus ES 350. While better on power and performance features, it falls behind on interior cabin quality and infotainment features. I like the TLX exterior over the ES, but for old guys like me, the ES 350 seems to be the better overall package for the features I am looking for. Will have to check out both on the road to confirm my assumptions, of course.

Its nice but you can get a mazda 3 turbo which is faster acceleration, 10K cheaper, and better gas mileage. Acura interior design isn't exactly ground breaking to justify the purchase either.

I would buy the Advance model today if it wasn’t for the low profile tires that are horrible in the snow and offer little protection to the potholes and road imperfections in the Northeast.

@smoov_23 Жыл бұрын

So you wouldnt recommend it if u live in the Northeast?

@tomfaz4193 Жыл бұрын

No because the 19 inch rims will easily bend when hitting a pothole because there is little rubber between the road and rims. Also they wear worse than conventional tires. I would consider buying one if they didn’t have those tires.
