  • A sporty economical car - 2016 Acura TLX
    By -

    We usually buy Toyotas or Lexus. Not much of a Honda fan. However I am very impressed by the Acura we bought for my daughter who graduated and got her first job. Pros: Very nice interior, low road noise and good acceleration with 1-2 passengers. The car is understated outside but has a very nice interior with nice leather and fittings. Very economical given the 2.4 liter engine. This was a 2016 closeout lease and I got a very good deal from Prime Acura of Walpole.

  • TLX is the perfect blend of features and cost for - 2016 Acura TLX
    By -

    There are higher performance cars out there, as well as ones with more plush interiors. But for a perfect blend of sportiness, quiet, smooth ride, comfort, tech features and outstanding stereo system, and cost, I found the TLX to be the perfect car for me. So much intelligence and consideration for the driver went into this car. I got the 4 cylinder, 2.4 liter, dual clutch 8 speed transmission with Tech Package, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a practical but enjoyable blend of sportiness, luxury, and affordability.

  • Acura TLX - A Great Car - 2016 Acura TLX
    By -

    I was a former Acura TL owner and was blown away by the performance of the TLX. Even though its a mere 1.5inches shorter, and car is extremely comfortable, quick, and has all of the features of a luxury car at a great value.

  • Best value in its segment, by far... - 2016 Acura TLX
    By -

    Bought a fully optioned TLX V6 with SH-AWD and Advanced package with less than 700 miles on it. A little history: The vehicle had previously been wrecked leaving the dealership when the teenager driving it rear-ended another car on the freeway. There was no frame damage and the car was repaired at the Acura dealer back to factory specs. Since the kid didnt want a car that had been wrecked before and since daddy wrote another check for $50K to buy another new fully loaded TLX, this vehicle was subsequently sold to an independent used car dealer for about 1/2 the MSRP. Their loss, my gain! This is my 4th Acura and 7th Honda product in recent years and so far Ive not been disappointed. Though Hondas have dominated our car ownership experience, our family has owned various models from Chrysler, Ford, GM, Mercedes and BMW over the years and theres reason we keep going back to Honda. The build quality on this vehicle is excellent by comparison to other models that weve owned, across all manufacturers. The ride quality is great and the steering feel is good, though still not as good as the 3-series BMW. The transmission can be a little quirky at times but nothing thats unacceptable. Even though my vehicle was essentially new and I paid almost $15K off MSRP because of the previous wreck, it still would have been a good buy at its MSRP based on similar cars in the segment with the same features. Is this car the best in its segment? No, its not. Does it represent the best value in its segment? Absolutely!

  • Awesome Acceleration and Combined Fuel Economy - 2016 Acura TLX
    By -

    The 3.5 V6 has awesome acceleration in Sport and Sport+ mode, 0-60 in 5.7 seconds. Not surprising given the 290 HP 3.5L V6, what is surprising is the 31MPG combined city/Hwy fuel economy that I am now getting even with car in Sport mode all the time. This car has an extremely quiet cabin and an awesome 10 speaker surround sound system that sounds like a concert hall in your car. I recommend anybody in the market for a midsize luxury sport sedan give this car a drive and compare to any in its class. It is many thousands less for more and 5 star safety and the Honda/Acura reliability and resale value I can confirm thru years of resales and trade ins with Acura is among the best of any make. It simply cannot be beat for a luxury sport sedan of this caliber and all that you get especially with the Technology package. Transmission issues reported on the 2015 are non existent on the 2016 and 2017 TLX, Acura upgraded the software and the issues from 2015 are gone, which is why I waited a model year before buying this new TLX vehicle. This is the best luxury sport sedan I have ever owned. The styling is conservative but sharp, the luxury is just what you would want without being over the top, and with Sport+ or Sport mode the 3.5L V6 FWD performance is awesome with documented 0-60 in 5.7 seconds (see zero to sixty website for TLX V6 FWD), it turns on a dime with excellent handling, and with the quietest cabin and smoothest ride you will find. With 5 star NHTSB crash ratings, and IIHS Top Safety Pick+ it is one of the safest vehicles on the road, and with the Tech package collision avoidance warning technology I personally avoided several very close call lane change accidents on my commute to and from work. If you are in the market for a luxury sport sedan and are looking to keep the price at or below 40$K, you will not find a better car in this class as the competitors will charge at least 11- 20 $K more for similar trim levels/options. I am a very pleased happy Acura TLX owner.

  • Enjoy the technology - 2016 Acura TLX
    By -

    Everything is extremely good except for some reason they have the worst tires. Performance would probably be much better with a quality high performance tire.

  • Comfort Ride - 2016 Acura TLX
    By -

    Most quiet and comfortable car Ive ever driven. Easy to drive and easy to steer. Braking is responsive, auto braking works well. Appx observed overall MPG 24-25. Engine power is okay, shifting is smooth. Sometimes the car suffers from turbo-like lag under acceleration, like most VTEC engines. Build quality exceptional. I love driving this car everyday.

  • AWD V6 + Aero kit: Very nice car - 2016 Acura TLX
    By -

    1st week of ownership: very happy with the car so far. Very comfortable, plenty of power. 9 spd trans takes a little getting used to. Surprised Back up sensor as an add on to the Tech package does not mute radio when placing car into reverse but warning beep is loud enough to not be an issue. This is our 7th Honda/Acura vehicle. I expect nothing less then a smooth and reliable experience.

  • big bang for the buck! - 2016 Acura TLX
    By -

    I feel this car is an outstanding value when compared to others in its class (Lexus, Infinity, C-Class). For what you get, it is priced significantly better. Rides and drives beautifully. Interior detail is a little more basic and not quite as luxurious, but its still very nice, quiet and super comfortable. Im happy.
