*Correction - 3.0L V6 has a single twin-scroll turbo, not twin-turbo like I said in the video over and over again 🤦♂️
lol bet
I was waiting for the correction comment lol
Topher must’ve felt the twin turbo power
SH is also front bias
@@SkeppyberryThe tlx type s has rear bias sh-awd. Go read the press release.
I kind of balance my TH-cam viewership between Topher(s), Throttle House, and Raiti's rides! All 3 do a great job, and attack the analysis from different perspectives.
Topher is king
Holy shit me too. Also savagegeese
Raiti is a lot to listen to. That guy can talk for 3 minutes and say absolutely nothing, while yelling. It's tiring.
@@JulianVR4I agree. He can be painful to listen to.
Tedward dude too, I always confuse this channel and his 😂
It’s funny how so many people are fixated on the 0-60 of this and the 340. Every time I see a 340 they’re stuck in traffic just like me, lol. There’s so many reasons to purchase a car besides how quick it is.
You buy a normal TLX if you don't care about speed and a M340i for speed the arguments are valid the 340i is simply a better value.
@@Trollmainanew bmw cheap chinese creaky interior is not comparable
And despite that 0-60 time, the TLX Type S beat the M340i's lap time at MotorTrend. Go figure.
@@TheBreakfastLover Thats stock and no one keeps the b58 stock. It can handle wayy more power than the tlx
@@Trollmaina stock vs stock, the TLX Type S beat the M340i's lap time at MotorTrend.
I actually quite like this. For a reasonably sporty sedan that you intend to own long-term, this might be one of the best cars out there. More long-term reliability than anything from the germans (maybe aside from like an M340i with the current B58/ZF 8 speed), and still a lot of high quality leathers and interior materials compared to a lot of those germans who are unfortunately moving to gloss black and other cheaper plastics in the attempt to make the interiors look "sleek" and "modern".
Plus, the V6 sounds pretty good and it's a fun level of speed for the street. You actually get to go through a couple gears before you hit the speed limit, which is one thing I miss about my RS3 and one of the reasons I kinda wish I'd left it stock. Definitely a fun car and I've always loved the looks of this refresh.
Build quality isn't there. I finally got rid of my new-age Acura because of all the rattles and interior noises. Honda can't do "premium". They make fun cars to drive, but are bottom of the barrel when it comes to putting a car together. We got a Lexus GX that made Acura feel like an entry-level vehicle. Lexus and the Germans are in a different league than Acura, which is why they're bargain priced. Last Acura I'll ever own.
@@CU08 bro never seen the statistics lmao
Unfortunately this couldn't be further from the truth. Acura's QC for their modern cars is an absolute disaster, this car shouldn't be convincing anyone to buy it when there exists options that are vastly superior in the same price range, yet they still get off on the illusion that it has "Honda Reliability". I guess we'll really see in the coming years if the J30AC is any good, but if the overall J35Y6 recall is anything to go off of, I wouldn't be holding my breath, not to mention this recall effected my 2019 TLX, 100% the first & last Acura I'll be buying.
@@CU08 honda of america shouldnt be allowed to design any car, honda of japan has made plenty of fantastic luxury cars.
I was shopping around a year ago for a fun dad car. I really liked the TLX but the reliability isn't what it used to be when you dive into the forums. It's not bad but not as great as the Hondas of old.
Also, the dimensions of this car are simply out of whack. The backseat is brutal. Great car otherwise in terms of balance of comfort and driving dynamics.
I think the m340 is still the gold standard. I ended up with an S5 Sportback for a bit more comfort and practicality. The EA839 3.0T seems to be surprisingly reliable in high mileage anecdotes and is widely used across the Audi (and a bit of Porsche) lineup.
Great car. Great review. Love this car's styling and performance, especially SH-AWD. If I had a spare $60K, I'd definitely buy this!
could buy a lightly used M3 for this kinda scratch.,
@@SvenSon44 "lightly", I don't think any used m3 is gonna be lightly used lol
@@ChiefYoshilol you’re spot on. I’m in many Facebook M3/M4 groups and these guys lease them, drive them like they stole them and then return them. I’m talking the whole works, burnouts, donuts, drifting and just plain hoonigan driving.
@@drivescene6747and maintenance going to be crazy on a m3
You can get an m340
Love the car, just feel like for the price of their sportiest sedan, and the amazing SH-AWD, they needed more power stock to really compete with the lighter chassis B58 engines of the 40i’s. Overall great video as always!
Acuras are reliable though and retain their value quite well.
@@gmpm the B58 with the 8 speed ZF is also reliable. They probably won't hold value as much as these Acuras but still won't be that much of a difference.
actually reliable? Or just for a 3 year lease. if you're looking for long term 10yr ownership, the acura wins on maintenance costs by thousands of dollars in the long run.@@user-ik8ph1jz7n
@@gmpm can buy faster, better and nicer cars for the same price with same reliability. Just because its acura dont mean much
@@gmpmAcuras have their issues. Most traded in car.
Been here for quite a bit and I always love coming back to seeing the indepth Topher reviews. Appreciate the content bud.
Bro all Acura had to do was give it 400 hp and have a touch screen
Hey man, just wanted to let you know your video on this car a couple years ago was what made me pull the trigger and get a '23 TLX. I was conflicted and couldn't decide between a G80, IS350 F or a Stinger and it was your opinion that shifted me over. Had this car for 6 months and I love absolutely everything about it. I still look at it when I walk away from it; what a great styling.
Completely missed out on a beamer.
Nice buy! I went with the ‘23 AWD GT2 Stinger. Might have gone TLX Type-S instead if they had the Tiger Eye color available near me at the time. I happened to find a brand new special edition Stinger, so jumped on that while I still could. No regrets… yet 😂
G70 3.3t AWD, is what I got.
Classy car with Punch!
@@フアン-f6enot the g80 he’s talking about lol
Did you get a '23 TLX type s or just a standard TLX?
Totally agree with the conclusion. Test drove one of these recently when I was looking for mid-range sports sedan. Handles great and has more soul than the S3/4 and C43. Ultimately went for an M340xi for the tech and B58, but Acura is definitely is on to something with this and I hope they keep it around for a while. It’s a great car.
It would be great if it lost like 200-300 pounds. How much was your 340?
Wife drives a ‘22 A-Spec which is comfortable but damn if the rear seat isn’t a little small and especially hard to fit a baby car seat in comfortably if either front seat is back a good amount. We have to move the passenger seat forward a bit.
Looking at used M340is for myself and wondering if that back seat is similar space wise.
Can’t beat the 3 with a B58!
@@ffac789back seat space is bigger in the 340i
I have a m440i coupe. Love it. Best mid size sedan/coupe
Refreshing to hear someone speak positively about the TLX Type S! Every other reviewer speaks badly of it.
Oooh! You have 666k followers. Spooky! This is a gorgeous car. Thanks for all you do, Chris.❤❤❤
Haha 😈 thanks for the support Andre!
Seems like an amazing car. I honestly feel like these cars have gotten too perfect. I miss the Acuras of the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Just the rawness and analog feel they had, while still maintaining the Honda quality and engineering. I know most consumers will disagree with me and opt for the perfection of modern cars like this.
Too perfect? 0-60 is way too slow
If your a race car driver yes it's to slow. If your a normal person who follows the speed limit and only go to and from work, it's a perfect car.
0-60 is a metric reserved for high schoolers and EV fanatics. Let us embrace important characteristics other than straight line numbers. There's a lot to like here.
@@jahquinbrown-es9xx the sound is really underwelming though... its a very weak sounding V6, I expected more. not many good sounding small engine anymore, only hyundai and BMW still makes good sounding cars... wierd
@@JDMintegraVTECso much Yes! EVs have made that metric irrelevant. It’s also absurd to claim those vehicles are about environmental concerns and then make them so quick (clearly, this drains energy etc etc)...
This looks very nice! I actually *just* submitted an order for an M240, but this was in strong consideration. Nice car.
Love the looks, just can't get over how small this car is interior wise and it weighs as much as my cx9
Weight means safety so it doesn't bother me too much, but yeah they are surprisingly small inside. Even the trunk is small.
It's smaller inside then their TL's years prior.
@@jmen8888 yes, absolutely wild. The integra type s also arguably eclipses it in performance. Wild.
I’ve been waiting for this 2024 review! So exciting!! The TLX Type S is such an underrated car and I would love to drive it someday.
Just a bummer that Acura can't make a proper RWD platform. Driving dynamics are inherently compromised with this FWD platform, no matter how much trickery they incorporate with the SH-AWD system. I recently purchased a manual '05 TSX, and as much as I love the little car, it'll be my last FWD. Also, 25 hwy MPG in this thing is atrocious, considering cars like BMW's 340i get close to 30.
Absolutely love the content love watching your videos everytime they come out , keep it up :)
A car that loves speeding through sharp turns is me. I will buy one of these when I move away from the snowy Ohio. Until then I gotta love my 2007 Honda Accord.
Best snow car I ever owned
Why are you waiting to move away from the snow?? Don't you realize this car has AWD, and your accord only has FWD, so this Acura will be much better in the snow than your accord (Tires being equal of course, as an Accord on snow tires will be better than this Acura on summer tires in the snow for obvious reasons)
@@kevinbreese5739 I have a 23 type s. It's not great in snow, but that's only because the tires are too wide.
I've driven this in the 2023 model. Such a beautiful car!!
I'VeDriVenthisinThe2023Model.
BeautiFulCar!!
SuCha
So sad that it's transverse....and for $58k its just not worth it compared to the S4 or M340i. Sad.
I really don't understand why they didn't put this at 400hp or so to compete with things like the m340.
Really nice and performance seems great , but early 60k seems little to much $
not worth $57K... I'd rather go with a Certified BMW M550i. The last TL I admired was the 2007 Type S for $37K brand new
Thank you for testing the adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and other driver assistance features! These rarely get discussed beyond "it has them" but no details of how they _feel_ to use as a driver. If I'm buying a car as a daily driver or more than a Sunday racer then I want to know how it feels, if it works well, and if it's comfortable or awkward or intuitive to use. Oh! And does it have remote start on the key fob, NOT through an app?
I'd also like to hear/see what you think of the infotainment system, auto wipers, auto high beams, etc. as my current car has so many great features but they just feel like they aren't tuned the way I want them to be. For example, the adaptive cruise control is far too sensitive to cars entering or leaving your lane and going down hills (to the point it kind of feels unsafe if I was another driver on the road).
Amazing... The RDX deserves a Type-S treatment with the V6
Very nice looking sedan, great exterior, nice interior. The only letdown I think is the engine, 355HP is not that big a number in a 4,200lb AWD sedan. Slap another turbo on that 3.0L, give it another 60-70HP than you're looking at some serious performance, but as it stands now, straight line performance is kinda underwhelming for something thats called the Type-S. That AWD system is incredible though.
This has a better power-to-weight ratio than a G37x. And this is a type-s and not a type-r. I suppose if you wanted proper straight line performance get an NSX or a Civic Type R. Also, this car already has twin turbos. Would it even be possible to put a third turbo on there? if so then I wholeheartedly agree that would be epic.
@gabegonsalves it's not twin turbo it's single turbo and it doesn't need twin turbo it just needs a few more pounds of boost in the higher revs
@@gabegonsalvesthis is way more of a straight line boat than the type r. It needs to be faster in a straight line given that its awd boat with significantly worse handling than a type r.
The type r is not a car you get for straight line speed
@@gabegonsalves Its a single turbo 3.0L V6, a G37 is also a 10 year old car at this point, the TLX Type-S is competing with the likes of the Audi S6 which is a properly fast sedan, the S6 has a Twin-Turbo V6 with 450HP almost 100 more HP than the Acura, and it's 0-60 time is a full second quicker.
@@ZoomZoom356 that’s fair yeah. Honestly I guess that more speaks to the g37 which can keep up with newer cars like these
4200 lbs is so much lol
Its a Single Turbo, but its a Twin Scroll, love these cars too I sell them at Acura!
this guy is a monster on those turns... jeez
Can i do that same 90 degree move with the mdx or rdx or do u think itll flip? Lol
Good review but I'd still take an infiniti q50 red sport over this car anyday! This type S for 60k doesn't Have heated steering wheels, lacks 2 piston calipers in the rear, which it should have since its a " sports" car. Brembo front brakes is nice but why not in the rear? At least the Q50 red sport is 100% rear wheel biased and has 4 piston front calipets and 2 pistons in the rear. This tlx doesn't have adaptive front headlights. With 355 hp, it's the slowest in its class. Q50 Red Sport has 400 HP and weights about 450 ibs less than this TLX. This refresh is nothing more than lipstick on a pig.
lovely sound from that v6
this is one of the better handling cars in its class. really looks like you can push it hard. think its lacking in straight line speed for what they're charging but its cool of Acura to bring back the Type S name
0-60 in 4.9 seconds is slow? I know that's not what you're saying, but this car is faster than 98% of the trucks, SUV's, and family sedans of the last 5 years on the road.
I’ve had my ‘22 A-Spec since new and I’m totally sold on the shifter buttons. They don’t take up any more console space than a traditional shift lever, they don’t block your hand from the dash controls, and they make it nearly impossible to choose the wrong gear by mistake. I’m not a fan of rotary knobs or stubby tip-fore-and-aft levers.
I’ve had mine since May 2022. Bought it brand new and still love it everyday…. Tiger Eye Pearl 😁
Why did I just fall in love with this car out of nowhere😂
I´ve realized that driving is one of the most enjoyable things in the life, in fact , I liked it to travel in the back seat. Once I travel on a cargo truck and I liked it watching the landscape as we moved forward. Anyway I think these reviews are very good, they´re made with great quality and profesionalism. Thanks.
If this had a ZF 8 speed and a more logical dash design, I would definitely consider it. As it is, way too high a price for so many compromises and definitely still "Honda loud".
What is wrong with the 10 speed?
@@mrniceguy7168I traded my x3 m40i for an mdx type s. The b58/ZF is such a deadly combination. The 10 speed in the MDX is ok. It's slow to shift. It doesn't hold a candle to the ZF. It's obviously a cost saving measure by Honda. An internally developed transmission is cheaper than buying the ZF I guess.
@@lockheedloadYou traded in an X3 M40i for an MDX S? Oye!!!Must’ve needed more space?
@@eloneatmyshorts the space is nice. Honestly, I missed all the creature comforts. The m40i is an amazing driving machine. But it doesn’t have: remote start, massaging seats, air ride, a good stereo, etc. Unfortunately 95% of my commute is in crap traffic and I don’t get to use the b58 anyways. I much prefer the Acura, for my daily commute.
Hi, is the tlx type S cabin quiet？ or a lot of wind noises? I heard they made some changes for 2024 model to make the cabin quieter.
My goodness where did you begin your drive? The road at the beginning was downright awful.
I was deciding between this and the is350 f sport. Ended up with the Lexus but love the look of these might have to get one next time
I can't tell if it's the SH-AWD that's helping it put its power down or is it the fact that it's under powered and heavyweight and because of that it just can't slip. 🤔
This almost reminds me of a GTR.
Edit: That torque vectoring is awesome, I’d love to see that thing on the track.
If nissan made a legit maxima, this would be it.
yes lol acura can't even keep up with infiniti's @RedPanda_______
Throttle House did a track test of the Type S on there side; sounds like its best matched for the road alone
The TLX actually beat the Nissan Z and Q50 Redsport's lap time at MotorTrend.
Too small of a screen. Hard to cheap out on not updating that interior in 2024 at this price point
I don’t understand why people want these huge screens in cars. They’re very distracting, harder to use while driving than buttons, and look outdated very quickly. If you want to look at a screen, why not just watch tv or get an iPad?
@@aptkeyboard3173 it's also not an expensive feature, its fake expensive. it actually costs more to put analog gauges and buttons in than screens, people think it is premium for some reason.
I think a 12.3 inch screen is pretty par for the course in 2024.
Acura is a much smaller company than the Germans that sometimes do a new interior update on the midcycle refresh. Probably 2-3 years before the next generation comes out.
I wanted to get my wife the Type S. I loved it but she wanted the Red Sport. That said the Type S was nice
I hate it. I hate the clustered center for 58K
With all these Acura posts i sure hope to see some classics in the future. Legend coupe is a super cool one :)
Why would anyone buy this when you can get an m340i for 4-5k more?
Definitely the best car reiveiwer on youtube. You deserve a million subs ! If you ever get to do a pov of a f30 bmw, that would be cool. 335 guy here 🤘🏻
They did a few 330's or 328's on the Winding Road channel if memory serves
@joespittle1 yea I looked it up right after I commented and saw him do a 435i lol close enough
I'm sure it's amazing but it looks ugly, why can't thry make it look good too?😢😢😢
Small observation that I thought was kind of cool. The little car at the bottom of the screen shows when you have your brakes on and even shows the turn signal. Small details like that are pretty cool.
My sister has an MDX Type S, cool thing about the HUD is that, using Android Auto, it will pass the directions from Waze to the HUD. Thought that was a pretty cool connection. Man this Type S’s are so refined and comfy, but feeling the SHAWD kick in around turns is so fun! Really the touchpad is the only thing that annoys me, but I’m sure I’d get used to it. Also wish the redline was higher and the exhaust was louder.
2024 mdx is touchscreen again
Like the old start up chime better
Me too Honda always does that when it’s a mid gen change for some reason the 21,22 Accord had a VERY annoying new chime and they went back to the better chime from 18,19,20 Accord in the current 2023.
Yea the new one feels like some generic chime from a 90s GM/Ford product. The one they have currently in the MDX and Integra is their best imo.
I like the microwave one from the 2000s
that car and that transmission are amazing 😫
I’m not doubt putting myself in this AS SOON as I see the tuning and modding potential open up. A HONDA made 3.0TT 10spd V6! I’d definitely push the limits of the engine to see how much these can take.
its a single turbo
Vtec 😩
How is the Integra Type S the same price as this?!
I don’t think Acura has the engine in their line-up, but imagine a MDX Type-R with 450ish horsepower. Maybe they could go performance hybrid of the NSX detuned with less exotic internals? If the trans and SHAWD can handle it, imagine how fun that would be with some beefy brakes and wide tires. Also with some more fender flaring to fit the wider tires. This thing would look SOOOO MEAN! oh well a man can dream
I really really want one of these but I am a brokie.
Chris if you were looking for a daily V6 would it be this TLX Type S or an IS350 with all the bells and whistles.
uff damn i love the colour and style of this car ....wish the rear had little more space but comprmised ..handling is excellent the best acura i have driven..
Feels refreshing to listen to Pink Mirrors after a long time! Long time Topher fans would know.
Love everything about this but the price. I don't think it's worth it for nearly $60k, maybe $40k.
40k lol. hillarious
Love the way this car looks, great they're still making the J series V6, but this thing really needs more power and less weight. 355hp in a 4200lb car is just adequate, nothing more.
even the SH-AWD in my 07 MDX feels amazing in corners and on-ramps
there is a heated steering wheel but you need to option it, it is not standard.
It's just so satisfying revving a Honda engine to its redline.
Can you bring a toyota prius off road driving
Underrated car, I hope the next TLX will have better back seat leg room!
And less weight!
And a better engine with the power and fuel efficiency of the B58
Having watched a lot of your reviews, I've never heard you so excited about a car as this one. It must be amazing!! Great review!!
I see auto idle stop noted in the large center display and you mentioned it in your video as well. Can you permanently disable it or does it have to be turned off each time the car is started? Thanks, Rich.
Assuming it’s like my ‘22, you’d have to turn it off every time, whether you use the button next to the shift buttons or switch to one of the sport or individual drive modes. There are aftermarket doodads you can plug into the car to disable start/stop, but I haven’t bought one yet.
Great video! Acura really has no brand image....this car is all over the place. Anyways Id recommend a Lexus or a Genesis over this anyday
Very conflicted between this or a Integra type S for a daily. What would you pick if it were your money?
This or an is500 as a sole daily driver?
I wish Acura would make a coupe version of this. It would be sweet. Love the dash layout design.
TO THE TOPHER, LOVES YOUR VIDEOS YOUR PASSION FOR WHAT YOU DO I IS ALWAYS EVIDENT. MY ? IS ACURA TLX TYPE S or LEXUS IS 500 WHATS MORE FUN TO DRIVE ?
Great video. Im 30k miles in on my type s. Theres an ease to this car. Steering is best in class, probably the belt drive. Low cowl makes the seating postion perfect imo. When left in auto mode, shifts are dual clutch fast on upshifts. I can throw it into a long sweeper and floor it, rear rotates as if it has rear steer. It laughs at inclement weather. Dare I say not a single rattle or creak. Perfect enthusiast family daily with tremendous value. This is the first car in decades that ive kept for over 2 years😂
I’m waiting for you to do a review of the Nismo Z.
Every car brand copying Chevy the way dash goes right then back then to normal is from Chevy had that first but everybody copying gmc
I love this car but I was thinking about getting the m240i xdrive but the topher won me over with this one 😂😂
The pumped in audio reminds me of the first grand turismo game I played on playstation 1 as a kid ahah
A touch screen dashboard is a great way to make idiots feel like they’re piloting a spaceship, but they’re extremely unsafe. One study found that drivers can take up to 40 seconds to complete a dashboard task on a touchscreen, and the European New Car Assessment Program has barred cars with full touchscreen dashboards from receiving a perfect safety rating.
I’m my opinion the infotainment touchpad crap is a deal breaker, spent a lot of time in a TLX A spec and it was just alright. Noisy at highway speeds, and the seats were uncomfortable after a couple hours. At the price point of a Type S I’d rather purchase an S4.
I love these things but I absolutely hate Acura's center stack/dashboard setup. Never liked it. Its beginning to look over designed but also cluttered, and made worse by the horrible gloss black. Acura/Honda can do better than this.
I was looking at the IS 350 F-Sport forever but I saw this TLX Type-S the other day and thought wow...and looking up the specs and overall interior which looks way better than the 2024 IS 350 (IMO), I was like WOWWWWWW. I may end up with this instead of the IS 350 for so many reasons.
I love this car! The main thing stopping me from buying one is the horrendous fuel economy. I drive close to 20k miles per year and the TLX Type S would require quite a bit in gas money each year. I’m still thinking about it but my pragmatic side is telling me to stick with my Accord Touring 2.0T for a while longer. Most of my miles are on the highway and I’m averaging 30 in my Accord. Would probably drop to 23 or so in this car. It is such a looker though. If I were to buy one, it would be identical to the one in this video. Love the Urban Gray with the red leather. Gorgeous car! Thanks for the great video.
Having had multiple accord V-6s and driven a touring 2.0t, I'd keep it unless you want the insane handling (also, good looking mine is performance red lol). The gas mileage even in my 21' TLX 2.0t AWD is iffy it's more like 17-18 city 30 hwy in my experience. Can't speak for the Type-S though but I'd be shocked if it wasn't significantly worse than the 2.0t considering they share the same 10-speed/AWD setup. Also have to factor in premium gas vs accord. Idk if the S is required or recommended like the 2.0T but it doesn't run as great on regular so just something to consider. You have a great car, I'd stick with it! :-)
@@jamesholden8625 I tend to agree. I love my car. It's a '21 in Sonic Gray Pearl. I'm not looking to replace it anytime soon but I really do like the '24 Type S. If I were to get a Type S, I would definitely run premium in it. I already do in my Accord even though it isn't required. I am not in the market until at least 2025.
@@jamesholden8625 I get 17-18 mpg in my type s, i only really drive city. If you are gunning at every red light though maybe 15
Man that startup sound would drive me nuts
Sort of miss the white analog gauges,is the digital gauge cluster optional?
Why would you get this when you can just get a Mustang and have everything better. I think even the ecoboost HPP has the same acceleration as this which is pretty surprising/sad
I'm in the market for a a new AWD sports sedan that makes it to 60mph in 5 sec...more or less, under 60k. But always seems to be 1 or 2 things wrong in every car I like. The BMW M340i... horrible dash board..hate it, the Lexus IS350.... to slow.... IS500.... no AWD, Infiniti Q50.... outdated exterior and interior, Alpha Romeo Giulia....also needs more horses. This Acura TLX although a bit overpriced.....no rear leg room compared to its exterior size, may be the winner.
Wow, those roads are absolute shit

Oh, of course, it's Michigan
You cant compare this to a M340i, different leagues. That said, id take this over any infiniti, kia, hyundai N, lexus is 300 etc in comparable cars.
Acura's pseudo touch screen is a super pain in the ass. I had the RDX and never got used to the artificial mouse.
Their design decision is only to circumvent not having the screen closer to the driver.
Also, the TLX does not achieve anything.
Its a great car when handling corners, are many front wheel drive cars.
It fails in fuel economy, as its not hybrid.
It fails in 0-60 as its not hybrid, nor electric, and certainly not a V8.
Acura is Honda trying to give everything to everybody.
Its neither a BMW nor a Toyota.
I did have the RDX 2019. But has since moved onto Hyundayi Tucson Hybrid.
The Japanese LKAS are a poor third to the Korean ones.
And the Hybrid SUV with mechanical all wheel drive from Hyundayi is a far more balanced car than this TLX.
That redline is like a diesel engine 😂
No bumperettes for that license plate? How are they getting away with that lol. Sincerely, a Mercedes owner with hideous bumperettes
this is car is nice, but i feel Acura over price this half sedan. because the back seats are small. there are car's much faster off the line and while pushing rear-wheel drive!! Me personally... i would never buy this new for 58,000. which all know it ain't 58,000 totally. Acura just overly price this car as if it's a bmw component. I would buy a used C AMG 43 and that is much faster off the line with 4matic drive and at top higher top end. the same way with Lexus is 500!!! it cost to much for the room size of that car and still not better than a camro or a 2010 c6 corvette.
13:00 one thing to check with this is if it will stop when there are cars parked on the side of the road. I have a 2021 Kia Forte GT2 and this is sometimes a problem. Sometimes have to hover my foot over the gas incase it hits the break.
I wouldn't even consider this car for the price.One can aquire much faster sports sedans for the money Acura charges.Bmw M340 or Audi S4 should be on your radar at this price point.i would take a Golf R over this .I am a Honda fan,I own a 10 gen Si but Honda dropped the ball with this car and can't compete with BMW or Audi.This car weighs over 4000 lbs
Miss the old type s wheels
Nice car ,too bad no more Performance Red for Type S . Yeah No standard heater steering in USA at least dealer add on $510 installed . In Canada come with heater steering but No HUD :(, plus less interior color . cost $66500 Cdn
