Heads up display is honestly so helpful. I've never noticed it as a distraction because I simply glance at it much like a speedometer but it's safe because my peripheral vision doesn't stray far from the car in front of me. HUD saves me from accidentally speeding too and I don't even have to have my nav system up on the main idrive screen because the HUD tells me where to turn!

I really think BLIND SPOT WARNING, CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT and LANE KEEP ASSIST should bd STANDARD on ALL cars! No one wants to pay big bucks for it yet if it was standard it would save lives and accidents!
@Mr21scott9 жыл бұрын
What should be standard on all cars is drivers who know how to look out the window and see if someone is in the next lane; know how to look when backing up; know how to stay in their own lane. In other words, drivers who put their phone down and do this new thing called DRIVING.
@HalfBreedMix9 жыл бұрын
Mr21scott I hear ya ! See the problem is, they are doing to driving what they did to the schools; make it easier so less people fail. For those of us that keep our heads on a swivel when we drive, there is still one HUGE benefit we have over those that depend on gadgets; you are staying alert because you have to look, and so you are constantly forming a mental picture of what is happening around you,,,,,so when the moment comes to act, you already have your "finger on the trigger".

UPDATE: TLX made a recall on V6 models using 9 Speed ZF transmission that is the only major German part on TLX. The 8 Speed Acura built DCT with Torque converter working perfectly fine, though. There is your German engineering for you in comparison to Japanese Engineering. If the situation is reversed the Japanese engineer designed those faulty transmissions would have committed HAR-KIRI, while the German engineer may go and start working for Hyundai or Kia .. IF they admitted/he admitted his mistakes/unethical conduct.
@benlee316268 жыл бұрын
+Fussinated So, you're saying that the Japanese admitted to making a mistake by choosing the wrong gearbox? Surely, the "superior" engineers at Honda should have done more research or produced their own gearbox rather than lazily buying some inferior German product.
@Fussinated8 жыл бұрын
Ben Lee [So, you're saying that the Japanese admitted to making a mistake by choosing the wrong gearbox?] No I am saying that Europeans are crooked and since they can NOT compete fairly (see VW fraud), most likely Zf tried to screw Honda/Acura. [Surely, the "superior" engineers at Honda should have done more research or produced their own gearbox rather than lazily buying some inferior German product.] Oh I am sure they are working on it. However unlike scam artist Europeans they will not implement it in a rush. In the mean time they wanted to collaborate with the European assholes but they suffered the consequences. They fixed the shortcomings of the ZF engineers though :).

Don't be so hateful! The TLX is a nice, competitive car... You don't have to love it, but proven by the sales and huge demand, it is proving a success, and the brand seems to be finding itself again.

To be honest the whole car sucks. Make a long story short the sales guy sold me that a similar BMW would cost 10k more than theTLX, but i soon figured out the BMW is probably worth 10K more.

You sound so ignorant by ranting on but providing no facts whatsoever. The things you mentioned are all highly subjective and some of it is just entirely wrong. Priced too high? Actually, it's priced very well given the class, engine, and list of features compared to its competitors. Try getting the same features in a BMW and it'll easily be $7000 more.

The Shield is doing its job, if you think about it; for it was placed there for you to see and think "ohh, that's an Acura". Keep in mind that pretty much any reasonable grill shape is being used on some car,,,,so how do you stand out without diving into the zanny. The new and softer shield is suppose to blend in with the body lines on Acura's new cars, and it does do that. If the silver color is too distracting for you, do what owners have been doing since 2009 and black it out.

The Nav auto fill she he default and is a bit odd to type in addresses. Such as West 60th Street, only allows you to put in 60. The backup camera would go to a black/gray screen if you had to make several maneuvers for a tight parking spot. Good thing when I asked yes these are selling well below MSRP. dealers knock off early advertised lease rates if you show your aware of this. Biggest issue I found is that let's say passenger wants to type in the address while driving. It's locked out! If you need to go somewhere you need to get in the car and then type it in before you leave while everyone else in the car is saying hurry up let's go.
