  Regrets and more regrets - 2017 Acura TLX
  By Benny - June 6 - 5:39 am

  I thought Acura was a good brand. Made a bold and regrettable decision in buying this car. I feel Acura is going to just push these horriblr cars out and hope for no traguc results. I am terrified to take this car on the highway. It does not move. Expensive regret. Purchased. Counting days to unload.

  Awesome Car Great Value! - 2017 Acura TLX
  By Paul - May 1 - 5:00 am

  I dont understand why edmunds isnt giving the TLX more love, guess they are too caught up in the Audi BMW and Benz bandwagon and turbo craze. I have a 2013 Honda CR-V and love Hondas and decided it was time to upgrade the wifes car from a Mustang to this. Great decision the 4 cylinder has tremendous power even though I thought long and hard about going w the 6, the technology package is definitely worth the extra bucks for all the safety features and technology that comes w it. Absolutely love this car all the way around

  A wonderful car if Acura engineers stop stupidity - 2016 Acura TLX
  By Donald Martin - April 30 - 1:15 pm

  A great value at its price point. The car is within a whisker of greatness if those responsible for its design would study the competition and take a lesson is usability design. Sometimes engineers get enamored with themselves . I should know, I am one. This car is an unbelievable value at its price point . I bought it based on that and I dont regret it but it could be the absolute class leader but for a few points: 1. For Petes sakes hear the steering wheel and rear seats. Comes in the Canadian model. Is Minnesota warmer than Canada? 2. Please for the love of god sit down with a few customers who have tried to use your cockpit. It is non intuitive and silly in some respects. Dont you people ever drive this car? 3. I like auto fold mirrors. So do all the people who buy bmw Audi and Mercedes. Its stupid but it makes us feel special. Do it! 4. The nine speed has problems that everybody knows about... Fix it! 5. The lane keeping assist and dynamic cruise are good. Can you stop insisting I move the steering wheel? Turning it off if I dont seems asinine. Its like the car is saying " move the wheel or I will kill us both." Also can you make the dynamic less responsive ? Its like driving with a 16 yo with their first time at the wheel. Even the GM system is better than this. Let me repeat . The GM engineers skunked you on an electronic system! Ok so enough with the negativity. Its a fantastic vehicle with a fantastic engine and an ok drivetrain. It is the quietest car Ive ever driven. I use it as my daily highway commuter and I like it a lot. I got more for my money than any other car I looked at. You could have the line out the door with just a few relatively minor changes. Make them!!!

  DO NOT EVER LEASE AN ACURA - 2017 Acura TLX
  By Adam - April 8 - 12:53 pm

  Unlike almost all auto companies in the class that Acura tries to compare itself to, Acura does not, under any circumstances, permit a lease to be assumed, regardless of circumstances. And when you approach the dealer to see if a buyback is a potential solution, they tell you that the car is worth far less than the amount of payments due..... Its a sham..... Do not EVER lease an Acura.....

  Extremely happy after 22,000 miles - 2016 Acura TLX
  By Gerry McFaul - January 1 - 10:40 pm

  Ive read the complaining and dont get most of them. You buy a spare tire when you get the car since it doesnt have one. Another $400 for me. I still drove off with a fantastic car for less than $40,000. I had everything on it I could get. I really enjoy the lane handling assist. It turns off after 30 seconds if you dont pay attention, so it makes you drive. And you can easily over ride it if you want to. Sometimes I"m to lazy to signal for a lane change and just do it. The LKA nudges me back but my 2 year old grand son could easily over ride the nudge. It wont pull you back into danger; in fact it wont even make a turn if it is too sharp because of the inertia in the car. The car is extremely quiet and gets over 30 mpg on the highway all of the time, unless its below 10 degrees F. Traction in snow (with snow tires) far surpasses anything Ive ever owned. Im extremely happy with this car.

  Smooth and great family car - 2015 Acura TLX
  By Lawrence71 - December 22 - 2:09 am

  After owning a 2007 Accord (best Accord ever built and phenomenal car), I decided it was time for an upgrade that included more modern safety features. I have been driving my new TLX for about 18 months now and have about 16,000 miles on it. Fantastic car and offers great value for the money. This is not a sports car even though handling is superb. Best features: quiet interior, quality of materials, handling/steering, engine, fuel economy, style, transmission, LED headlights, great value for the money, and very solid chassis. Not so good features: front headroom good but not great (wish Acura would offer models without moon roof), no spare tire, automatic transmission sometimes jerks a bit when switching from reverse to drive when car is cold.

  Vibration at 1500 RPMs - 2015 Acura TLX
  By Randy Atkins - November 23 - 1:13 am

  Ive had the car for about 6 weeks now and bought it after being extremely pleased with my 2016 MDX Advance. It was a CPO loaner car with 4600 miles. After about 2 weeks I noticed when I was cruising along at 1500 RPMs it felt like I was riding on a rumble strip. At first I thought it was the road, but then it seemed to happen on any road I was on. I took it to the dealer and they said that it was due to the VCM system (variable cylinder management). When it reaches a cruising speed it drops back to 3 cylinders for optimal gas mileage and therefore causes a vibration. The dealer said there was no fix which lead me to call Acura customer care. After talking with them and them talking to the dealer, they told me that was how the car is supposed to operate, to which I told them no $40k luxury car is designed to rumble when you are at cruising speed. They were absolutely no help and offered no assistance to remedy the problem, just repeated that was the way it was supposed to operate. I took it to another dealer and they basically confirmed the findings of the first dealer. In addition, I started to have a vibration when braking. They looked at that issue and ended up having to replace the entire front brake system...not very comforting for a car with 7k miles. I will say the gas mileage is exceptional as I got 38 MPG straight interstate on a 300 mile trip; however, I bought it for the ride more than the MPG and would gladly take a lower MPG for a smooth ride. Probably wont keep it long.
