2015 Acura TLX 3.5L SH-AWD - WR TV POV Night Drive

[@PaulyGuy1]

I like how those jewel lights shine so good. Its like daylight outside 

[@markp9247]

impressive transmission actuation, along with a powerful Honda V6, nice car!

[@windingroadmagazine]

***** Impressive!

[@robertbidochon7949]

***** NICE!!!!

[@TWHISPERER]

Mark Paschke Powerful? 290 up us powerful to you? Also, how can you see that this car is powerful when he just drove the speed limit...boring.

[@10293]

John Vu stfu.

[@lexusfan100]

nice u should od more night time videos..very cool interior

[@windingroadmagazine]

lexusfan100 We'll definitely be doing more night videos this year.

[@wboeren1]

Winding Road Magazine nice to hear you will be doing more night driving video's.

[@АлександрМолотков-х8щ]

Winding Road Magazine Please make with audi Q7

[@ldawson103]

seems like an extremely quiet car.

[@nigmosh65]

Because there is sound blocking material in the windows, so you have a more quiet and comfortable ride.

[@galfert]

Not just sound blocking materials but also active noise canceling even with audio system off.

[@TheBritishPatriot]

Really enjoyed the night drive, would love to see more of them !

[@hanookeric457]

One of my most favorite acura

[@Kristoffermobil]

Ladies and gentlemen, you've just seen a person using their blinkers.

A nice little commuter car😊🚗 I have a 2008 TL Type S with the 3.2 sohc vtec. Acura makes great motors

[@ebonkrieg]

TLX kicks ass.

[@iishyxvietxboyii1]

I really want this car but damn Acura hid the exhaust tips lol

[@MrMlbfan6]

[@hitechburg]

You can buy an ACURA CHROME exhaust tip kit.

[@Hunterdietzman]

iishyxvietxboyii1 or wait for the ASpec

[@cokecola5048]

iishyxvietxboyii1 same and wish the exhaust was showing😌

[@10293]

iishyxvietxboyii1 I find it both comical and stupid that people care so much about such a useless detail LOL

[@Sxciroq]

Looks and sounds so nice *-*

[@MaliciousSRT]

I've driven this car, its a gussied up V6 Accord - and I feel bad saying that because its Acuras pride and joy.

[@zxbc1]

I'd say the reason to get this car is for the SH-AWD system that you can't get in the Accord. And from what I've read it's well worth the money.

[@MaliciousSRT]

But why? The typical buyer would NEVER see the difference

[@EdvinasPocius]

Accord is a good starting point so it makes sense; instead of re-inventing the wheel they just refined it and that's smart.

[@MaliciousSRT]

Edvinas Pocius No, Accord is not a good starting point. If you are trying to compete in the premium segment, you need more than a FWD V6 Honda. First off you need a primo RWD platform, and until Acura/Honda invests they will always get laughed at. I am assured Acura buyers only buy because they never drove a Mercedes, BMW or Cadillac.

[@zxbc1]

Malicious SRT Actually, few people are laughing at Acura now. Reviewers pretty much universally praised TLX's handling. The SH AWD is one of the best AWD options. I heard the 9 speed dog clutch transmission is also really good. When you add in the noise level, ride quality, fuel economy and price advantages, this car is excellent and very competitive against the others. Of course if you're a RWD purist, you'd dismiss a front biased AWD platform no matter how well it drives. I've driven enough cars to know that the transaxle configuration isn't nearly the top consideration, even accounting for some enthusiast sporty driving. I only wish Acura can come to a better styling choice, especially on the front fascia.

[@andrewcampos3912]

Car owners champion their car brand; BMW, Lexus, Audi...and even Hyundai, and trash others for not owning the brand they own. Each brand have their own problems. We adapt with the vehicle's issues. It's comical watching "Why I hate this car" videos. At the same time, it's educational and insightful. This is a great car. Critics praise the AWD performance and the quiet cabin.

[@Jonathaneve5]

Acura needs to get rid of the dual screen and differentiate them from Honda's interior, IMO.

[@mscheller]

Chill Relaxing Drive

[@MrLalasd]

3:10 look at rear view mirror.

[@TristanVash38]

MrLalasd sexy catch ;) oooooooooOooooooOoo

[@zuhayrali4202]

+MrLalasd i dont get it

[@Frosty_coyote]

nothing is there...

[@harrisanwar85]

+Matt Campbell He is referring to 3:16 when the driver floors it

[@yourfavoritetl8930]

The smoke coming from the tires

[@maximus9401]

Will we be seeing the 2.4 TLX 8 speed DCT model as well? That's the one that was generally more praised. Lighter and more balanced.

[@maximus9401]

***** Really? I thought reviewers like the 8 speed better than the 9 speed. There's more gear hunting in the 9 speed, I'd imagine.

[@maximus9401]

***** Hmm I see. But it seems that the hiccups experienced by the 8 speed DCT can be fixed with software updates to the TCU. Once that's fixed, I'm sure that the DCT will be much better than the 9 speed ZF unit. This is Honda's first in-house DCT for production cars (AFAIK) so I think it's fair to give them some adjustment time.

[@maximus9401]

***** This 9 speed ZF is very well suited to the V6 like you said, but I really wonder what the future of the V6 is for Honda/Acura. With turbos coming into the mix, bigger displacement engines are being replaced slowly but surely. The 3.5 liter V6 J35 makes what, 290 horsepower I believe? The 2.0T Turbo VTEC engine out of the Type R already makes at least that much power. Luxury vehicles tend to keep the big displacement naturally aspirated engines in their lineup, but I wonder how long will it survive. Acura will likely be getting the 2.0 and 1.5 Turbo VTEC engines very soon.

[@ashwinthiagarajan2650]

Would you rather get a TLX V6 w/ SH-AWD or a Lexus IS350 F-Sport? I know that the SH-AWD system is great b/c I have it in my 2009 MDX. But I've heard that the IS350 F-Sport has great handling dynamics. Which would u get Winding Road Magazine?

[@ArjjunSingh]

You have any transmission issues with the car? Or everything’s good so far? Looking to buy a 2015-2016 soon

[@liberalsaredegeneratebetasoyl]

It’s a good car hit or miss with the tranny

[@PatilsNinad]

Planning to get 2019 TLX V6 FWD. Is there a problem with the transmission in the newer models?

[@han615]

Test drive the 4cyl and the 6 to compare them, the 4cyl has the DCT which shifts faster than the v6 than the zf9 speed which can be lazy at times to shift.

[@blvckmesa]

I got freaked out cause I knew exactly were you started off at, 6 mile and 275. I used to work at that theater lol.

[@ayecarlo]

this is such a nice car!

[@carnut9193]

Love the look of this car, wish they were sold in Australia.

[@crownr0yalonice]

***** hey i've seen you on the boards! *high fives*

[@carnut9193]

I'd consider buying one if they were available, the entire brand isn't in Australia. I suspect they are only available in left hand drive...

[@nigmosh65]

Car Nut I mean they are sold in Russia, China, Taiwan, Mexico, and Canada as well, so one country should have the steering wheel on the right, right?

[@carnut9193]

nigmosh65 Unfortunately it's really only the UK, Australia, NewZealand, Japan and South Africa that drive on the left.

[@nigmosh65]

Car Nut *Right, also you forgot about South Asia and South-east Asia. From my knowledge, (because I've traveled to Morocco) they drive on the left, so not all of Africa.

[@killkill6231]

If possible please do the TLX 4 cylinder model. Keep up the good work =)

[@lifeofdrew3182]

I love the night drives... Could you do the audi q7?

[@cobaltfly]

I'm so glad that I didn't settle for this car. Acura is known for manufacturing solid and reliable cars. But I find them to be quite boring and sedated. So instead of going with the flow, I took a chance and opted for the '15 Genesis from Hyundai...hell yes! It is awesome! Though it can be had for a better price than it's competition does not mean you get less car. On the contrary, it's more car than most of it's competitors. The TLX is a nice car... Genesis is a badass ride!

[@Skypods1]

so quiet in the city driving

[@kelvinknk]

Sport cars please sometimes

[@harrisanwar141]

3:15

[@Martinezm0500]

Getting a vehicle in a about month and saw this In dark blue a week ago online and it's still there I hope they don't sell it it's mine and just keep looking at it sorry Toyota Camry xse and the TRD your about to get lost in a race once I get mine and that sxt charger and probably the RT to lol

[@SwisherXL]

Hey love your video, I am in the market for an tlx as well. I was wondering how much did you pay out the door? Thank you for this video

[@sasori21153]

can you like do a nightdrive of the 2014 ford fusion or the fiesta hatchback titanium model? those cars interior looks realy cool at night with its ambient lights

[@FiredEmpire]

sounds amazing

[@bmwmsport11]

Only reason I'm not a fan of acura is their high price tag and somewhat low brand exclusivity. $40k for something like this over a $40k A4 or 328i. Sure the acura has more features but shit you're only getting a optioned out Honda after all. The TLX seems super nice though.

[@FungusLabel]

Well you can say then, A4 is optioned out passat. Well it's also smaller.

[@HybridEnergy]

.

[@FungusLabel]

HybridEnergy Well I never liked BMW's so yeah I agree.

[@IKhanNot]

So you're worried more about what people think versus what's being offered by this car. By the time you're done optioning out a 335i BMW with features you see in this car it will cost far more initially and in the long run. The 335i is an amazing car and personally I'd take one but don't count the Acura TLX out.

[@vq37zu]

I'm never going back to European makes. My 1.8 TSI just died on me at 60k lol. No warranty and shitty timing chains, no thanks.

[@jw9517]

What’s that wobbling once you got on the highway? Just the road orrr some part of the vehicle?

[@GBraidi78]

Can you do a 2016 Honda Pilot Touring Elite night time video? I will appreciate it bro!

[@BryanEndres97]

Is it just the way I'm hearing it on my headphones, or is there quite a bit of wind noise at highway speeds? I'm just thinking that compared to the sound of the engine and turn signals it was awfully loud.

[@clover7359]

Remember, this has a 9-speed auto.

[@MrMlbfan6]

For the price u gt 2 screens which are amazing for the price of the car. This car not a mb but is still a good daily driver that is reliable.

[@jamelhill1]

NICE CAR

[@mccraejoey82]

I actually like the o9-11 and 12-14 models better

[@HybridEnergy]

There is a sport+ mode.

[@June63_]

can you pleas do the 2017 Acura ILX A spec pov that would be awesome 👍

[@jarock121197]

Can you test drive the new Maxima Winding Road Magazine

[@henryho2755]

I hate its slow shifts... Try the 2.4L's dual-clutch maybe?

[@122willman]

If I could afford this car i would get it. I am looking at the used acura tl sh awd fully loaded.

[@NeokingTech]

Eww, just get a 2008 TL Type S

[@evanh2716]

too bad, no chrome exhaust tips which Acura does so nicely.

[@hitechburg]

An ACURA CHROME exhaust tip kit is available.

[@shirke01]

Can you please test drive Acura RLX 3.5L

[@tastemybrownhole9288]

Hated my Crapura after the first 1,000 miles. Can't wait to get rid of it.

[@ot5340]

why they did that. TL was awsome. TLX is like Camry not a sport sedan anymore.

[@soldaat24-channel]

why do you go through red lights sometimes?

[@maximus9401]

you can take right turns through red lights unless specified. You have to treat the red lights like stop signs. That's the way it is at least in the US

[@soldaat24-channel]

maximus9401 oh well in my country we have to stop for every red light :D

[@soldaat24-channel]

***** the drivers here in Belgium aren't very careful :p

[@ahmetb2305]

Could you show and drive an Ford Mustang mach 1 1969?

why hasn't anybody done a Q50 or a M56 yet

[@anthonysanchez5932]

[@MatTZI014]

3:17 wow abuse a car that's not even yours would ya lol jk It's an Acura (Honda) it can take a beating and won't break.

[@06302]

No offense but your driving is too mild for us to see how the car performs. Anyone can drive like that easily. I've driven the car before. The dealers were more than happy when I showed them what the car could do.

[@louisep6612]

does this car have Daytime Running Lights?

[@galfert]

Yes it does.

[@jaiizwaii89]

Seems bland to me. Hidden exhaust sealed the deal for me as well.

[@TheYellowSchoolBusDude]

I don't like this new frame less rear view mirror trend!

[@binglongqu9628]

NICE👍

[@deltaflyer1997]

This car just seems so boring and average in every way. My mom drives an MDX and it's more interesting than this.

[@omgitsme435]

What in the world are you talking about. The MDX more fun than this? Do you sit in the back with your Disney DVD movie, maybe that's why you have no idea.

[@deltaflyer1997]

omgitsme435 You seem so offended that someone has a different opinion than you do. Get over yourself.

[@alanlee4412]

When someone compares MDX with this and uses the term "interesting", it probably means he doesn't know about cars at all even if he drives one.

[@deltaflyer1997]

Ah it seems you are making assumptions on the Internet. I know a pretty good deal about cars and I drive quite often. I can tell you that every Acura car I've driven is pretty fucking boring. I don't know who the fuck you think you are. My ride since that will be your next question I'm sure is a 2004 E55 AMG.

[@omgitsme435]

***** Hit the orange cones, they give you bonuses. Just like Mario Kart

[@wonderwall135]

+Timport82 well get some help because this is one of the quietest cars in its class. it has active noise cancellation

[@Alumnikiid]

i thinks its the mic picking up low sounds...cause all the reviews i have watched talk about how whisper quiet it is

[@rsaghr]

The highway in this video was in absolutely crap condition, it was like you were driving on rumble strips for miles. It was closed all summer, it's buttery smooth now. Also I don't understand why this car is equipped with $100 tires vs. the Accord which gets $150-200 tires.

[@wyhop6071]

I noticed that you approached two stop sign yet you never fully stopped for either one. Bad example to post!

[@aaronsu8763]

Looks like a Honda Civic

[@jjtech195]

sloooow driving.... but maybe there are speed cams around every corner. For this kind of driving some mercedes c180 would be more than enough
