Acura TLX Better Than Lexus ES 350! - 2015 Acura TLX
By Paul Grasewicz - January 4 - 7:11 pmDrove a Lexus ES-350, Mercedes C-300 and the Acura TLX V-6 Advance. The Acura was more spacious inside, it is wider and there is more headroom. Very quiet interior and the car seems to float over the road. Too much road noise in the Lexus. I really like the Acuras separate screen for the navigation and one for the sound system. The ELS 10 speaker system with surround is wonderful. The car has good acceleration and gas mileage. There are more technology features than other similar luxury cars. Plus it is priced lower than the Lexus and Mercedes C-300 (which is a small car). I highly recommend the Acura TLX. You get much more for the money. Test drive one, youll be convinced like me.

My Wifes Car - 2015 Acura TLX
By Tim - December 31 - 1:06 pmAbsolutely love driving this car! Its my wifes car but I make sure to drive it any chance I get! Interior is amazingly quite! Handling is superb and transmission shifts like a champ! The 2.4l is zippy and fun to drive despite only having 201hp. Maybe its because my daily driver is a pickup truck, but I love this car and would consider buying a second TLX.

If you dont love this car, shame on you. - 2015 Acura TLX
By MICHAEL - December 26 - 1:23 amThe negative opinions and reviews on here truly amaze me. Why on earth did you buy, or even lease this car if you dont love it? There are so many sedans to choose from, and I can think of five or six that are pretty close to the TLX in many ways. You could have gotten a Maxima, a Passat, a Lexus ES, an Accord V6, a Malibu, an Infiniti, a Hyundai, a Kia, a Camry, etc., etc. If you didnt choose the TLX because its such a great blend of technology, performance, reliability, and value then Im sorry, but youre blew it. This car isnt perfect but guess what..none of the cars I listed are perfect either. No car in this price range does everything exactly right. A couple of years ago I took a two year break from Acura (Ive had ten Acuras) and leased a Lexus GS350. It was a fine automobile, and nicer than any Acura Ive owned, but I had to reduce my debt to income ratio in order to buy a home, so the Lexus went back before the lease was up. I managed to lease a 2015 TLX AWD TECH this month, for 24 months, with 15K miles per year, and with zero money down I got the car for $439 per month with tax included. There was no better deal on ANY comparable luxury sedan. Period. If you didnt get a great deal too, thats your fault. If you found out later that you dont like the nine speed tranny, or the lane departure system, or the fact that theres not USB charger in the back seat, or that the car cant be rolled in neutral if the batter dies, ITS ALL YOUR FAULT! Its a car people. Its not supposed to be perfect. Nothing in life is perfect. Get over it. I love Acura. I love that its not a BMW or Mercedes or Audi because I think those cars are too expensive, and too prone to have problems, and I dont care about the perceived status people who drive them feel about THEMSELVES. Guess what....nobody is impressed with your German car anymore. They are ubiquitous nowadays. I love that my Acuras make me happy, that their ELS stereos sound great, that I can drive them without any effort, and that they never actually need to be rolled in neutral! Happy motoring everyone!

Smooth Operator - 2015 Acura TLX
By CKW101 - November 11 - 8:58 amReading some of the negative reviews on edmunds, I was very surprised. My 6-cyl TLX with Tech package is one of the smoothest cars I have ever owned. This is my third Acura (05 RL, 12 TL with SH-AWD) and it is by far the best. Didnt need the SH-AWD in this vehicle, and Ive really enjoyed the precision steering - I dont miss the SH-AWD at all (and my dad has the SH-AWD with Advance Package - also a great car, but more than what I needed). The size is comfortable, the transmission is much much smoother than the 2012 TL I owned, and the interior quality rivals any other Japanese luxury standard. If you are surprised that there is no gearshift, or that the badge doesnt have three letters in it, well seriously: why are you surprised or disappointed? You should know what you are buying: a comfortable and engaging sedan, with plenty of room, and excellent mileage (around 27 mpg in a mixed traffic for me) and the rock-solid reliability that keeps me from considering German competitors. I didnt buy this car to impress anyone I bought it for me - and its been a great choice so far. Changing the selection from Economy to Sport to Sport + is like changing cars. Its all there, with tightened suspension and a completely different feel. I looked at Lexus, and I drive everything in the rental car fleet, but this car is on par with the smoothness and comfort of Lexus sedans (and I really appreciate the luxury feel in the TLX - much much better than the jerky, muscle-car-wannabe transmission in the 12 TL). Yet this car manages to still inspire with engaging driving dynamics and all-around dimensions that add up to a perfect fit for me. Dont expect this car to be another brand, drive it for what it is: a whole lot of car for the money.

Great Value, Great Fun - 2015 Acura TLX
By Stan Waclaw - October 31 - 7:27 pmI traded in a 2013 BMW 328x drive. I love the new TLX with the technology package. The stereo is outstanding. The car is super quiet and no squeaky dashboard like the BMW. The power delivery is very linear and not punch like the BMW. I really dont see any difference in the handling between the two cars - both are great. The drivers side leg space is very big - especially right leg room. My right leg always leaned against the console of the 328, but I have lots of room in the TLX. I read many reviews that dissed the dual screen infotainment system. I dont find it any less difficult to navigate than BMWs I-drive. I like the Siri-integration. The headlights are outstanding, even more so that they come standard. I upgraded the headlights in the BMW and they still didnt come close to the clarity and visibility of the jewel-eyed TLX. I priced out a similarly equipped 3 series at over 50K. The TLX was priced at 32,000 for the year end clearance. I feel very happy with my purchase.

Good fuel economy paired with good performance - 2015 Acura TLX
By Rob - October 12 - 2:40 pmGreat car so far. Nice and responsive, yes the fuel economy is pretty good as well. Pretty roomy too, and I am 65". Just a great all around car at a great price. Sure maybe the finish is not like that of BMW or Mercedes, but is more than good enough for me at this price point. Much more room than a 3-series BMW, wider, 4 wheel steering is nice, and repair are just so much more limited than the German cars. Wonderful resale value with Acura as well.

Upgrade from 2013 ILX - 2015 Acura TLX
By Eddie - September 12 - 10:12 pmI have experienced NO, that is, ZERO transmission problems with my V6 TLX. I get 25MPG city/highway combined at a minimum. Personally the 2013 ILX was a disappointing replacement for my Acura 2003 RSX my 2003 RSX had better performance in my daily driving and did not have the annoying dash noise of the 2013 ILX. The dash rattle combined with poor performance led me to trade up. Im glad that I did. The TLX is quiet and performs extremely well on my daily commutes. I have had no problems using the dual screen controls. From my personal experience Acura service is excellent for both my 2013 ILX and 2003 RSX and my wifes 2003 TLX and new 2016 RDX.

Acura has gone back to their roots!! - 2015 Acura TLX
By Andre Dunlap II - September 4 - 12:58 amPurchased a 2015 TLX last week. Originally was looking at the ILX but decided to also test drive the TLX. I loved how well the car drove. It doesnt feel like youre driving a midsize at all! The acceleration is very good (Sport and Sport+ are AWESOME!!). I love the interior and all of the little touches (ambient lighting in the rear seats is a nice touch). The car really does feel luxurious yet sporty. Sat in the car today on my lunch break and didnt realize how much there is to customize. I def think Acura/Honda is in the right direction with their new sedans. I would recommend getting the Tech Package, its def worth it!

Stop reading online and go buy an Acura TLX! - 2015 Acura TLX
By Doug L. - August 12 - 10:19 amWe cross shopped against just about every other mid-size sedan. Almost bought a 16 Maxima, but glad we didnt. This is seriously the nicest car my wife and I have ever owned, and weve owned some very nice fully loaded vehicles, we just love it! We got the 2.4l powertrain with 8 speed automatic and Tech Pkg in Blue Pearl and Cashmere interior. Beautiful color combo IMO. This thing is really surprisingly fun to drive with just a little 4 banger engine. Pop it into Sport+ and hang on! Lots of fun factor with this car. I was initially overwhelmed and blown away with the Tech Pkg, just too many features to play with and learn about. The two screens up front was a great idea and perfectly executed by Acura, extremely functional and pleasing to the eye. ILS sound system rocks! This car is just about perfect in every way, we love it. Do yourself a favor and go test drive one, youll want to buy it. I would definitely recommend opting for the Tech Pkg. Dont feel like you need the V6, the 2.4l engine has plenty of pep in normal driving mode. Sport+ mode is crazy fun. Also, after reading other negative reviews about the 9 speed ZF trans V6 powertrain Im glad we got the little 4 cylinder 8 speed!
