Very reliable and extremely comfortable

Acura is the high end Honda which are known for their reliability and durability. Acura's standard package is Honda's upgrades. Amazing vehicle and very stylish.

Great car. Old tech.

Title says it all. Great car, buy the infotainment is out dated, and that ultimately brings the quality of the interior down. I've had no problems with the transmission, engine, or any mechanical problems to speak of. The quality is what you'd expect form an entry level luxury brand. All things considered, it's a good car, but the tech holds it back.

Great style...not so good transmission!

Bought my 2018 TLX W/Tech pkg. , new in 2017. After that "new car buzz" wore off, it became apparent that the transmission was not as solid as it should have been. The car struggles with finding the right gear to be in during various driving situations, and is way too Fluttery for my liking. During a subsequent service visit, a software update was done...with little improvement. I only gave "performance" 3-stars, because the engine has been very reliable. Love the rest of the car, but I would not buy another one.

The perfect sedan

Beautiful ASpec lots of room and great fuel mileage. Great braking and handling around corners is perfect, hard to beat this car for over value and performance

ASPEC Package

I have owned multiple Accura cars over the years. My son who drove a ZDX for years, wanted to have something different than an Acura. His mother had to give up her new TLX ASpec when he came home from college. He has it it for a year now and loves it more than his ZDX which we kept for 8 years and 100K miles.

Reliability and Class

Acura has really out done themselves with the design of this beautiful machine. This car is truly under rated in every way and is by far a wonderful car to drive and own!

One year in...

We bought our Acura TLX one year ago. So far it has been everything I expected from an Acura. Other than regular oil changes, nothing else has been needed. It’s been a perfectly reliable car. We have the 4 cylinder Technology package which has been perfect for our needs. After a year and 16,000 miles, we still love the TLX. It was surely a good buy and we are very happy.
