Probably one of the most beautiful cars built in this decade
Minus the front sensor shield. Otherwise, I agree.
@@alucarus6check out the 2024. They did a interior fresh up and get rid of the front sensor panel.
Lol
The car is very underrated.
Beautiful, yet fast enough for the most of drivers. Reminds me of S7.
I got my type s in December, and like you I was looking at a bmw m340i or m440i. The thing that swayed me to the type S is that it looks better, came with more standard options, and is more reliable than the competitors. Do yourself a favor though. Get the side spoiler package and lower blade like I did. It totally transforms the look. Welcome to the type s club bro!
Thank you I will be looking to get that done once I get my hands on all the interior accessories I want for my car then focus on the outside. Also another factor in this car for me was it came with 2 years of free maintenance included with the purchase compared to the M340 I was looking at
BMW models with the 40 badge have the inline 6 B58 engine. It’s been reliable so far.
@@Troy-fv9uq yeah I was close to pulling the trigger on it. That in-line 6 is a Beast
@@daking8374 @Troy yeah I almost got a M340i after test driving one about 2 weeks before getting my Type-S
Things a freaking rocket 🔥
@@MarcoTLX that’s what got me. Those BMW dealers are slick. The guy literally told me to go ahead and floor it😂
I've had my TLX Type S for about a year and half and you are spot. Drive wise, the best all around car I've had. The way it handles power/control is really good. The stability and power is amazing. It is not the fastest car on the street, especially due to the weight. But it is fast enough. Overall, the car has a sportiness, while being able to maintain great control and comfort all at the same time. Its hard to explain. Also, you are spot on about the attention it attracts. I love my touch pad. I don't have to lean over and put finger prints on the screen. My only complaint, is MPG. I am getting 20 mpg. In addition, it is premium gas.
Haha yeah it’s awesome car but the mpgs aren’t.. I get 17-20 mpg depending how I drive. Premium gas is pricey but my Costco membership helps mitigate paying high prices for premium fuel
I wonder if there's ways to shed some weight
@@diceflawless9115 backseat delete 🫣😭
it's not the fastest compared to the titans of speed IE corvette c8, audi rs series etc
But it's faster than 95% of cars
it's not slow, it's fast, fast enough
not all about pure speed
@@layne4376 the accord no way compares to SH AWD the tlx has lol
Yeah I would definitely agree with you on most of the stuff that was mentioned in this video. The TLX definitely serves as a great daily driver if you have the money to buy a brand new car! Sporty enough to have fun while driving, but not so much where you definitely need more experience driving before it's comfortable to buy.
There is a reason for enjoying Acura sedans!
You got it in the best colour! Congrats, such a beauty
I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these. What a beautiful color as well.
Great review. I have a 23 Type S with performance tires too. Did you replace the performance tires with all season tires?
How is winter driving on the performance tires? Have you had to travel on snowy roads yet? Great detailed review, thank you and congrats on your type s.
I have the M340i x drive and I'd trade it for your Acura TL Type S in a second! My car may be a bit quicker, but yours is as quick as anybody needs, a bit more roomy, and way better looking than any M340 I've ever seen. When my lease is up, I'm definitely going to give this car a serious look. Good luck with it.
Definitely give it some serious consideration when the lease is up you have multiple versions to choose from too the Regular Type-S, NSX Summer Wheel Type-S, PMC Edition Type-S, and as of yesterday… the Gotham Gray Matte PMC Edition Type-S which only 50 of those will be built and sold.
I have a type s n it’s not that space in the back no one can sit behind me
and Honda smokes BMW for reliability and affordability
Your correct but roomy wise the back isn’t that great the 340i has more space
A bit more roomy is incorrect. I know the Integra is not a comparison but you know it’s wild when the base Integra has more legroom in the back.
Just saw one yesterday, and out of all the cars in the parking deck, there was a black type s parked there. Man oh man, I fell in. Love with the car. It was pure beauty.
Keep it up with the reviews I love it I’m tryna get mines this year all black with multispoke wheels🔥
Thank you!! Really been enjoying my car and wanted to share and weigh in on the Type-S debacle with my thoughts and opinions of it so far
I’ve definitely thumbed up folks with the tlx type s and mdx type s. Such beautiful cars
The way I look at it, if I wanted a car for speed, then I’m going Corvette or Hellcat. Acura/Honda are known for longevity and reliability. I’ll take that kinda quality over speed any day. After all, it’s a long term investment.
Holding on to mines for years to come!
@@MarcoTLX don’t blame you one bit brother. Imma do the exact same!
Excellent review! Thanks.
Definitely one of the best looking sedans out there.
That joint is 🔥🔥🔥
I had the 2003 type s fun as hell yo drive, I have the 2012 fat back TL, and i will be getting the 23 type s soon, love acura
Nice review, waiting for my 2024.
You've got a Gorgeous car man - got a 2008 RDX Tech rn, but I really want this one & put a Pedal Commander on it
Definitely the best looking car in the segment. Enjoy it!
Such a clean car. Is this the red exterior colour available when you build it online? Yours looks like a deeper red.
Congratulations 🎉 it’s an amazing car 🚗 I enjoy it too - great review
Thank you!!
Congratulations on your new car.
I was looking to buy this car last year same color. I ending getting the gv70 spot prestige in red 😍 loving it
Thank you! Great choice on that Genesis GV70 gorgeous cars too & from a glance they look like Bentley Bentayga SUVs from the front-end 🔥
This is one of the cleanest cars out. Everytime I see one on the road from a far I think it’s something exotic until I get closer to it. Price is pretty steep but I think it’ll hold value pretty decent.
Another Marco tlx owner here ! I have a 2015 tlx advance package. I hope to one day have the more updated type s version 🤩
That’s a great model to have! The V6 Advance package is damn near fully loaded! Reminds me of my 2016 TLX Tech V6, fun times too. Yeah wait for the 2024 refresh it’s gonna be worth it!
Great purchase! I got a ‘23 type S as well and even though it’s slower than the German competition I wanted something that would last longer than the warranty haha enjoy!!
Congratulations! Looks nice.
Thank you Matt 🔥💪🏾
I agree with everything you said. I'm not apologetic for its speed. Plenty fast. I have mine up to 140 mph a friend hit 155. I would not have brought a car like this to race from the light and from 70 to 140 I've kept up with a Camaro to 110. However, I mainly brought this as a luxury car, with some performance. I had mine for over a year and have driven from coast to coast and from North to South. I get a complement almost everyday, especially people from young to grandmothers asking about my color, Tiger Eye Pearl.
I've had my 21 in tiger eye pearl for a year now & it gets compliments as well, & it's plenty fast especially after I added high flow catts & full cat back exhaust plus k -tuner & man it has really opened the car up. That red is definitely 🔥
Thanks prophet! I’m so happy to have this car and enjoy it almost everyday lol
@@MarcoTLX Same here man & that exhaust sound is music to my ears
do you have an idea of how much power it is pushing with the mods installed?
@@tonycamaj4560 I haven't had it dynoed but K-tuner alone adds another 50hp along with the 355 so if it's not at over 400hp it sure feels like it. The mods are great for sound & flow as well but again the K-tuner completely changed my car, it should've come this way from stock
Beautiful car! I hope you upload more videos on it soon.
Thank you!! Don’t you worry I got more content on the way 💯
Put the acura chrome tag piece around the tag. That brings it out even more
Appreciate you for sharing your beautiful car. I'm really filling this car. Just like you said it's so foreign, & much differ from other cars. Im praying I will get this car. I was crazy about the Kia Stinger but this right here is really grabbing my attention. I love a car that makes look twice & say, wait a minute,... Is this me 😍🤗👍🏾👍🏾. Great video.thsnn you again for sharing. You just helped me decide what I want. I can really see myself, & someone special riding with me 😍. I can just see me in it most definitely 👍🏾👍🏾
Listen you won’t be disappointed at all!! You will love the car
Best colour choice imo ,beautiful car ,had the 2021 type s ,car got hit when parked . Sad day repaired it and sold it ☹️
They went with smaller gas tanks in both the TLX and MDX to save weight. They had to add weight to make it stiffer, but still make it affordable, hence cutting weight elsewhere.
if you don't mind me asking what do you do for work? i currently own an 09 tsx and this is on my bucket list in the far future
I work in the Auto Industry in Management
Nice car. How much is your payment. I like the multi spike rim better.
When I bought mine I always complained about the cluster but to be honest after a few months I actually like it better than the digital ones in other cars
how do you know you never experienced digital dash
@@syedalam6363 I have a 23 jeep grand wagoner and also driven my families denali is too simple which is why I prefer the TLX. Maybe if they were more customizable.
@@SuperFlame1995 I guess it's all personal preference till everything gets digital. My experience is from my BMW M3 even though it doesn't have much customization options other than some color changes. The layout is cool that's why I like the digital techo better. I think Audi is the customization king.
Not really a fan of purely digital dashes, the hybrid dash that the F sport trims have from the lexus lineup is rather appealing to me though, but purely digital just kinda feels lazy to me
For me it depends on what options are digital. If climate control is digital then its a big deal to me, since its the only thing that I really mess with while driving on the road. Wasnt a huge fan of the previous gen infotaintment on the TLX for this reason
My son, Marcus, has an 08 Type S ( featured in one of my videos) and I love it 💪
Yours is sick bro!
Thank you! Its really an amazing machine and breaks some necks too 🔥
@@MarcoTLX yea,!it truly is absolutely incredible looking
Never the first in any category but does everything pretty well. daily driving is great! Averaging 24 MPG so far with a smooth driving, not being hard on the gas pedal...
I'm averaging 11.8.
Gas milage is not good but I enjoy the car
Thanks for the review. I have a 2020 TLX A-spec and was wondering of upgrading to this model for 2024 when it's slated for a refresh. Ignoring the much higher price tag (which is not within my realistic budget) there's the often reported claim that its performance is barely superior to my model. What would compel an owner of a previous gen A-spec to spend that much more besides the superior looks? Seems like a LOT of money for mostly improved aesthetics.
The looks and the increased power, I came from a 2019 A-Spec AWD. I loved that car but this is next step up from that, faster, looks better and more tuning potential being that it’s turbocharged and not a NA V6.
If you want to stay in the Acura family but want a faster daily this is the upgrade you want, but if you don’t care for brand or general long term reliability, then a M340i or C43 AMG would be a much better option for power speed with decent looks
one of the best looking car for now! like a M8 compt
beautiful beast. My dream car.
Beautiful color!
Appreciate the honest review… Coming out of a 10th gen Accord which I like but, I don’t like the options for 23 so, the Type S has got my attention…
Definitely consider it! It’s a fun car that you’ll never get tired of looking at that’s for sure!
Yep..u got the goodies! Now get the muffler delete.....and the sound is beautiful! So not an issue on freeway neither. I've had mine for 9 months..
I had a 3G Type S 2008 flawless car >265K and sold it. Last year I bought the RDX A Spec Advanced. It drives like a sports sedan. Acura/Honda has some great cars. I also have a Honda Elements as my daily driver. They age gracefully. Enjoy your new ride safely!
Thank you! You enjoy that RDX A-Spec Advanced! Those RDXs are great looking SUVs! Trying to convince my mom to get one actually 😅😂🔥
@@MarcoTLX I have always had sedans. So what propelled me to get a new car were several factors, there is a rip in the driver’s seat, 3G going offline and the transaxle broke which is what did it. The RDX drives and handles like a sports sedan. Fun to drive. I have the Fully loaded A-Spec. I do live the way it handles and looks. For sure. Apex Blue with Black interior.
@@BrooklynBound4 nice! I haven’t driven the RDX but they sure look good on the road I’ll say that! If you had to buy it again would you have went with a different color and interior color combo or chose the same color combo you have now?
@@MarcoTLX the purchase was unplanned tbh and I was in a different state so I took what they had on the showroom floor. I had silver cars back to back so something different was ideal. I won’t buy a car with a light interior because the dye from clothes bleeds into the material and ages them faster. My first color choice was the gray and that was in LI NY and my sister wasn’t driving me.
@@BrooklynBound4 that’s why I was against the Long Beach Blue PMC Edition because it only came with orchid interior
How's it been as a daily?
best looking sedan on the market. I’m waiting for the MMC and then i get one.
Yeah that MMC is gonna make me jealous I didn’t wait one more year to buy one 😂
I just bought the white w/ red leather 2023 , really happy I made this choice over the stinger ⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍
Any car in the segment is better than the Stinger lowkey 🫣😭
good review bro, i feel like if this cars interior was updated to digital dash and a better infotainmet screen, id consider it
Thank you! 🙏
I'd say look out for that in the facelift there's rumors that the TLX facelift will bring digital dash, and HUD to Type-S models, maybe a touchscreen infotainment too.
Another factor that made me go with the Type-S is that Acura mandated that all new 2023 Acura models come with free maintenance for 2 years or 24k miles whichever comes first. I thought that was a pretty sweet add-on for 2023 models
Picked up my 2022 w 4.5k miles in Feb. mine is gray with the regular multi spoke 20 inche wheels. Best car ive ever had so far. Enjoy bro.
Thank you I hope you have been enjoying yours!!
@@MarcoTLX hell ya. Im in PA philly area. I know a a few boys with Type S’s in NY and NJ ur close maybe we’ll meet this summer or spring one day at a show lol
@@millys4368 oh definitely I know a few people in those areas with a Type-S as well so definitely this summer I’ll be looking to meet up and hang out!
I picked up my 22 Type S in September, I would've liked to have held off and grabbed the 23 but I'm still happy with this one and everyone I've talked to says there's no difference between it and the 23. Congrats on your new wheels!
Yeah the only difference is that 23s come with 2 years of maintenance free
@@MarcoTLXI just picked up the same car in white . I just ordered my first mod PRL stage one intake 😀
@@MarcoTLXand the also I have ktuner flash drive for 700 dollars will be getting that later
This car is underrated!
I prefer the Long Beach blue color but the red is amazing as well!
I liked the Long Beach blue too just wasn’t worth the markup price
Its really the smart buy. Great move dude!
How do you compare your A-spec to the Type -S ? ride comfort, feel , power and all. also road noise
Comfort, Feel, and most definitely Power is much better in the Type-S compared to my A-Spec which was a NA V6 powered AWD machine.
Road noise is abit louder in the type-s due to lower profile tires and having 20 inch wheels as opposed to the 19 inch wheels on the A-Spec
Love the car man
Nice Type S man! Ready to see your upcoming mods for it. Acuras performance are more track and curvy road focus vs drag racing in a street line..
Whaaat?! The legend himself “The Acura Channel” noticed me! But thank you! I got some cosmetic mods coming, performance mods I’m still on the fence about but I got some mods in mind if I decide to upgrade some engine parts 💪🏾🔥
@@MarcoTLX right on!😎👍🏿
Would love to have seen the engine! It is a beautiful car and I love the color. You keep it looking sharp as a razor too 👍
Thank you, I pride myself on keeping my car clean which gets tedious when driving it as a daily but in all honesty it helps me get better at detailing and cleaning my car.
I probably should’ve showed the engine bay, it’s nice to look at too but you can quickly tell it’s a tight engine bay really no space for anything else if you wanted to add or upgrade a major component in the engine.
Keep up the good work. I love it!
Get some p21s polishing soap for the exhaust tips
I live in a pretty big city and I'm YET to see one of these on the road. I've seen just a handful of base versions.
Yeah they’re a rare sight for sure but when you see one you’re definitely gonna break your neck to see it figuratively speaking lol
So freaking beautiful...watching you from north of Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
How you got pulled over for no front tag? MD don’t play usually
Tag in Front windshield 😎😭
I love the quality and reliability of Acura; having owned a 2009 TSX, 2016 RDX and now have a 2019 TLX V6. I have my sights set on a TLX Type S at some point. All the Acuras I’ve driven have great handling and are a lot of fun to drive. They are not the most powerful or the fastest but for me (In my late 50’s), my TLX goes plenty in Sport+ mode. Side note: I’m NOT a fan of the touch screens. Thanks for the update of your ’23 Type S. Nice exterior color.
Yes indeed set your sights on one! If your ever considering one now is the perfect time with all the hype being focused on the new Integra Type-S there is deals to be had on new TLX Type-S models from cash incentives, finance incentives and even negotiating under MSRP! Thank you everyone seems to love this color which is crazy cause I was considering the "poster car" color, Tiger Eye Pearl Gold color at first but switched to Red cause it was the lesser popular color in my area.
@@MarcoTLX do you hear any rattling on the front driver side while going over bump???
@@Lawtypes no I don’t actually
I’m new to your channel and I gotta say happy for you…but for me unfortunately I test drove this against Genesis G70 3.3tt sport prestige and Cadillac CT5V and I gotta say although I did like the handling and looks of this car, the Caddy and Genesis are better cars to me. I wish Acura would’ve included Brembos on all wheels, HUD, touchscreen, LSD, and made it less heavy. Both CT5V and G70 have those amenities included in their vehicles! I ended up getting Genesis cause Caddy wanted $70K and Genesis was willing to negotiate to $57K. Did you cross shop Caddy or Genesis besides BMW?
Im super late responding, I did not cross-shop the Genesis or Caddy, their designs didn't appeal to me and I believe the Caddy was much more expensive than what I budgeted out.
Lowkey im itching to get into a faster sedan but shhhh dont tell nobody haha
I just bought this car and I'm in love. Traded in a Cadillac CT4V which simply didn't compare. The steering on 2021-2022 Type S's is too light. 2023 is just right.
@CultofModernism...The problem is you bought the wrong V to begin with, you should've bought a CT4-V Blackwing with a 6spd manual transmission. The Blackwing will put this turd to to shame, twin-turbo 3.6-liter V-6, 472 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque and by the way, did I mention you can get it with a 6spd manual transmission, you aint getting that in a TLX. The Blackwing with the full carbon fiber package comes with a rear spoiler, front splitters and dive planes that are functional, not just tacked on for looks, and did I mention that you can get it with a 6spd mansmission...lol!
@@badboyvr4 dude they’re not even in the same price range
It sure does stand out, it looks really good. ( might be the best looking of it's class), maybe a little, just a little drop in the ride height and the stance will be perfect.
That’s what I was thinking! People were suggesting wheels but I think the NSX wheels are perfect and pretty unique
@@MarcoTLX If I'm not mistaken These are BBS wheels and they look clean as well, like you've said, the only necessary change on it's looks, is a lil drop on the ride height.
@@MarcoTLX never change the wheels brother! These stock rims fit perfectly with its look
If Acura ever get back to a touch screen in the TLX type S I would get one. My 2008 TL type S had a touch screen.
How hard was it to buy and how much!? I’m looking into getting one soon. :)
Well if your looking for any color that isn’t Apex Blue, White, or Black.. it may be a few months of waiting especially if you want the NSX wheels or prefer the multispoke wheels.
As for pricing MSRP is easily achievable unless you’re going after a PMC Type-S.
I got mine about a month ago. Get the body kit it looks good with it.
I purchased a blk 2022 tlx type S I like the car
Just Bought a 2023 Pearl white one today...... Cant wait to do some Mods....
Sweet! Congratulations on the purchase! How do you like it so far?
Shit. I'm in md too! Did you pay any mark up?
Not 1 penny over sticker price!
I test drove the 23 type s loved it I currently own a 21 tech package might have to trade it in
Make the jump I promise you’ll love the TLX way more
imo Acura's are secretly under the radar the best cars in the world. I have a 2012 that I just got tuned up and it runs like it's brand new. It handles like it's on rails. It feels like a supercar and it drives like I just picked it up off the lot. It's fun every single time I drive. The Acura's are the perfect combination of reliable, practical and fun. It's halfway between a rally car and a Bentley. Was thinking of just keeping the 2012 until it falls apart but the new Type S is incredible.
The problem is the 2012 runs like it's brand new and the mechanics can't find anything wrong with it or worth replacing and it handles winter storms like it's nothing. There was a flash flood and I drove through waist deep water that was up to the door, car plowed through no problem that was lucky there was a Jetta that got stuck and flooded. Maybe I'll just get the Type S and keep the 2012 I don't think I could ever give it up it's too reliable. Honda's got the secret sauce for making the best vehicles.
That’s what I’m talking about! True reliability and you still enjoy it as you did the day you first bought it! I would suggest getting a Type-S and making it more of a “weekend car” and let your 2012 TL still be the daily car, especially if you got the room financially and space wise to have both 🔥
I agree.
I'll be getting one in the future once I pay of my 2020 TLX a spec. I really want a NSX.
@@Webhead787 you and me both
It comes reliability and sport and built quality while the others are lightweight unreliable built like a tin can. Yes you get more power but it’s not safe or reliable
Can you reply with a more detailed description of the backroads? The turns are my favorite. I want to know what its pro’s and con’s compared to w lighter less horsepower honda car. Love the car!
So the backroads in my area are pretty twisty with some straights sprinkled in! Pros is it’s like driving on rails and the torque vectoring makes sure that you can take every bend on the backroad with confidence! Cons is the brakes aren’t up to a hardcore backroad touge session so you can only do but 1-2 passes on the backroad before the rotors and brakes start to wear heavy
I’ll probably upgrade to performance pads and rotors possibly
Yeah, even then they’ll still wear out. The car is heavy😭
@@trackshun that’s what my buddy told me 😭 it’s ok it’s still a fun car and enjoyable and manageable even at it’s limits
A beauty ❤️🔥
Thank you it’s a joy to own!
That's the closest Acura that reminds me of my 4 door Acura LEGEND. It was not fast and the transmission was slow and sloppy but man oh man did that car draw all types of attention and compliments but because I like V8s I later brought a LEXUS. But this looks good.
I cant stop looking at yours 😅
This shouldve been the new Integra! Nice car!
Did You add something to it or it come like that from the dealer
Nope it all came like this from factory, the only thing added to it was the "Type-S" All-Weather floor mats as gift accessory from my sales rep.
Thanks man i appreciate it ,, how much per moth?
These are so nice just for the price I wish it had more power!
Good looking car, just wish it was faster. My old wrx hung right with it
This car looks very nice, but I personally think the new Integra has better looking tail lights. The six speed manual also seems more fitting for the Type S emblem.
I've got a '22 A-Spec AWD (also in red like yours), and I'm already afflicted with upgrade-itis for the Type-S's engine and brakes. I really want to get a test drive to see if it's worth it, trading away gas mileage, lighter front-end weight, and the easier trunk pass-thru.
Test drive it and you’ll come back to the dealership wanting your A-Spec appraised 😭😭
@@MarcoTLX My wife already says she’d leave me if I made the trade. She even said she wouldn’t care what happens to our cat.
@@LJ-wo1wf oh wow she’s tryna stop your fun 😂😂
Gorgeous Acura…I bought to MDX A spec…I get looks wherever I go
It’s just that kinda car that looks exotic prepare for the compliments to come rolling in at parking lots and gas stations
@@MarcoTLX 💯
@@MarcoTLX I love driving a luxury brand that’s reliable compared to the over priced Germans
Mother’s makes a chrome polish👍
What color is your car? It looks clean and crisp.
Performance Red Pearl
Use Never Dull to polish the exhaust tips....
beautiful car
Let’s link up 🙌🏽🔥👍🏽
Use mother's cream polish for the exhaust tips...it works!!!!
Thank you! Will give it a try
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just got mine on Saturday, same color, with the rims. Although I'm having issues getting chips on my rims 😔 It replaced my 2013 TL Advance 😆 how are those summer tires treating you? I almost died once hahah
Summer tires treating me well! Even in the rain I can push it abit and lose no traction 🔥
You’ll be fine too as long as you don’t drive on them hard when they’re cold in cold weather.
Congrats on the Type-S too, what color did you end up going with?
@MarcoTLX same color as yours 😅
I'm thinking of installing the mud flaps that came with the car but drilling holes in this car.... big no no
@@gcw89 Awesome! You team Performance Red! It’s a great color!! yeah the splash guards are dope but I think the Type-S looks better without them
i like the rims, but i don't like summer tires. don't want to be slipping and sliding when it rains.
I had the same fear but they do pretty good in the rain!
Also why didn’t Acura put the RLX drive train in the Type S. The RLX put out 377hp. It was a normally aspirated 3.5L with a hybrid hook up. You would have gotten the power and better gas mileage. I have the 22 MDX A Spec and the gas mileage is blah not good at all very average. Acura has done well with the TLX but it should have been as fast as the Kia Stinger. It almost hit the mark. I do enjoy driving the MDX.
I'm currently fighting the same exact battle between the M340i xdrive and this. I already dropped a reservation for a '24 Type S (which i think is coming with a refresh, so i'm curious what changes are coming) but i'm really torn. I 'want' the TLX but i hate the infotainment and dash so much. on paper the 340 is better in virtually every category except it looks like a boring soccer mom sedan.
Well what did you end up going with?
@@MarcoTLXi ended up getting the Integra Type S lol
@@BabySkinCondom What a twist! What made you go with that, let me guess that 6 Spd manual had you hooked??
@@MarcoTLXyeah i had a 9th gen Si and that was amazing to drive, so i'm pretty fond of honda's 6 speed manuals. im not really ready for paddle shifters yet lol
Good review and beautiful car! The TLX type S is one of the best looking sedans on the road for sure. FYI "Fuel sipper" means it doesn't use much gas. I think you mean to say guzzler ;) Also, I don't think you mentioned anything about ride quality which would've been good feedback.
Thank you for the feedback!! Yeah for me the fuel consumption is middle ground for me it guzzles gas if you’re on the throttle everywhere in sport mode but sips fuel if you easy most of the time and bounce between comfort and normal mode.
I completely forgot once I finished editing the video, I thought about adding it in post but figured leave well enough alone. It’s the first of many videos I’ll be uploading so I’m learning with each video and getting better with experience.
But the ride quality is amazing! Road noise is apparent as to be expected rolling on low profile tires and such though. The adaptive dampers really help stiffen up the ride in Sport and Sport+ modes. Comfort & Normal mode let’s the steering be alittle more loose! Not Acura ILX levels of loose but loose enough to notice the difference between drive modes.
My only gripe with this car, at all, is how laughable the back seats are. At my dealer (Acura salesman here) we’ve had multiple returns and customers walk out with integras instead. I’m 6ft and me sitting behind me is a nightmare. If they had just gave us more backseat head clearance and leg room, I would’ve bought this over the integra myself. I hope you’re enjoying the car man! I WISH it was practical enough for me but all my passengers are taller than 5’9 so it’s a no go :/
I’m 6’3 I fit perfectly fine
@@untalentedrapper8118 in the back seat?
I have to agree, I’m 5’10 and was shocked at the backroom being so tight. I think the Integra probably has more room at the back. Love the car otherwise
