Let me tell yall, as a TLX owner, the TLX is definitely fast and handles very well. This car is dope and worth it especially if u have the tech package. Everyone compliments me on it and the kids love it. Very comfortable, system is dope with the stock subwoofer

I have a 2014 RLX Sport Hybrid with the same transmission selectors. After you have used it for an extended period, you realize why it was designed the way that it was: You don't have to look at it. After you've used R a few times, you'll never look at it again...you'll be looking at the upper screen to see the camera. The D is impossible to miss with one hand, and there's even Braille on the Sport Mode button so that you don't have to even look for that.

Good to see someone review an Acura fairly. I've seen other reviews that clearly showed the reviewer went in with a "not gonna like it" approach which was evidenced by a sort of passive aggressive tone - it's alright but...or still referring to the front end as a beak (which to me was thankfully fixed some time ago). Acura has dragged they're balls in the past but hopefully now that they are their own decision making division separate from Honda (with their own leadership) things can turn around for them. Let's get a Type R or S model and an Integra style sports coupe ive been hearing internet whisper about.

Is the. Acura's push-button transmission really that bad? To me, it doesn't seem like it would be functionally inferior to a lever or rotary dial, but I also haven't had the benefit of sampling one. With a lever, you can simply lay your hand on it and selected your gear by feel. Does this button setup have enough tactile feel to allow eyes-free operation? Seems that in keeping with the traditional layout of P-R-N-D and making the reverse button one the finger hook and the drive button big and round, you would fairly quickly learn the feel and master its operation. I am offering a critique which I think is more of an observation about auto journalists in general. It seems that when you are driving so many different vehicles all the time and you may only have one for a few days, it would be hard to get settled in a vehicle thus making it more difficult to review them from the perspective of a long term owner. That is not to say that such oddities or idiosyncrasies aren't worth mentioning. I am often surprised at some of the nitpicks I see raised, so I started thinking that the more time you spend with a car, the less you might notice such things. Odd part for me in my vehicle buying experiences is that it's usually the less glaring things you don't see at first that end up being most annoying in the long-term.

The TLX is simply a great car. The transmission setup is great so I don’t share your opinions regarding it being too complex and not freeing up space. Compared to BMW and Lexus which have the traditional shift lever (auto) and they often get in the way, especially when putting anything into the cup holders. The Technology package also gives the TLX some great features that bring great value unlike some premium packages that cost twice as much yet gives you half the tech you paid for. Zero to 60 times range from 5.8 - 6.1 for the V6 SH AWD version...

Should have run the track with the S60 in transmission sport and DSTC off... If DSTC is on the car will understeer more and traction control will be quite invasive. Still this is a mash up not a match up so I won't criticize not comparing a S60 T6 AWD or even a T5 AWD against the Acura. I'm still waiting for an opening in my schedule (& now maybe the weather) to drive my XC60 T6 AWD Sport around this track. It will be interesting to compare its performance to the data you've gathered so far...

I got to drive the 2015 Volvo S60 T5 AWD for a couple of hours a few months back, it's a beautiful car. Prior to driving the S60 I didn't understand the price tag, but it's definitely worth the cost, especially if you go with the T6. I wasn't a fan of Volvo, but the S60 completely changed my perception about the brand itself. Would love to get behind the wheel of an R-Design or Polestar and really see the power these cars possess.

I disagree - the transmission controls don't seem that complicated. Push P for Park, D for Drive and pull R back for Reverse. When you own a car, this all becomes second nature, and all the luxury cars have some fancy transmission control. Mercedes has their steering wheel stalk, and BMW has a joystick like thing that controls the transmission. I think the more egregious complaint about the transmission is that it sometimes can't find the right gear, and that the shifts aren't as crisp as they should be.

I'm really getting tired of hearing about the push button gear selection. I have had it for the last 3 years and never had an issue with it. It seems to me that people don't like it because it's different. Every time you talk about a Honda or Acura with that you completely bash it because you don't like change. It really is one of the easiest systems I have used and at least somebody finally wants to be different. I really believe if this was in a Mercedes or Audi you would probably think it was great.

Aren't many of these cars today using electronic shifters? It might have a shift lever, but it's just electronics underneath. All Acura/Honda's doing is just changing the way you shift by going from a lever to push buttons.

Joel Silverio Actually, any form of forced induction including supercharging can increase fuel economy. Forced induction increases the volumetric efficiency of an engine. This post explains it pretty well. ecomodder.com/forum/showthread.php/supercharging-economy-14590.html#post194735 Also, turbochargers present backpressure to an engine, so they're still taking engine power to run them. tomak3.tripod.com/page10.html I believe that due to tighter environmental regulations, more and more higher performance cars will move to forced induction (as BMW and Mercedes have already). I miss that NA V10 of the E60 M5.

Just test driven the TLX SH-AWD, such a quiet, comfortable and refined daily-driver car. Apprently they are NOT built for track or racing, I noticed a huge difference on its throttle/brake response compare to my 3G TL. This car is built for those who really want a comfortable ride with enough power(Uhh unless you are aiming 300+++hp), a good looking with a bit of luxury ambiance and well build quality, a bargain that could save $$$$ than its German competitors (Oh, and Lexus), plus a little bit sportiness when you push it hard.

It would be good to do 0-60 comparisons in all drive modes for these cars. You definitely made it clear the Volvo was in its sportiest mode, but did not specify if the Acura was on Sport+ or not. But, again, it would be a good comparison of performance in the different modes. And, even a track run in all driving modes (after the Acura's brakes cool down of course..haha) I test drove the FWD V-6 TLX and did not find the transmission functions distracting at all. After just one run, I felt comfortable with the set-up's functionality. The C-Class has an electronic stalk on the column. BMW has its gear-knob-but-not-really-a-gear-knob electronic function.

Well, at 5280 ft above sealevel, that Altitude has the affect of losing 45 hp. So, if your in the sealevel coastal areas or under 600 ft above sealevel in land, and outside temps are under 65* with a low Density Altitude with barometer of over 30.00, you can drop 3/4, (.07) of a sec off these acceleration times.... The Acura is closer to 7 sec and the Volvo closer to 6.2.... at sealevel in good conditions.

Turbocharged cars do not lose any power at these altitudes. They take longer to build boost, but do not lose power. This is why piston aircraft began using them eons ago, as they were formerly known worldwide as "atmospheric compensators". Only normally aspirated vehicles become total dogs at altitude.

I realize that when they test cars especially for a comparison, they can't always get two or more cars with the exact same options and features, that being said - for this test, they really needed to put the AWD V6 Acura with an AWD I-6 Volvo to be fair. While both the 6 cylinders versions have torque vectoring AWD (Acura calls their "Super Handling)... the Volvo S60 R-Design has 325hp & 354 ft-lb torque while the Acura TLX V6 has 290hp & 267 ft-lb torque. Since both cars are within a few hundred pounds of each other and the Volvo has 35 more horses and nearly 90 more ft-lb of torque, the Volvo R-Deisgn would simply eat the Acura for lunch on the track as well as the road.

Wish the performance was noticeably better also. As an enthusiast, I will probably look elsewhere. As for everyone else, loyal Acura fans will be purchasing for sure.

I like the new transmission selector. Looks like the new NSX will have something like this too. I think this is more of a positive for the car. I would rather have this than the rotary knob.

Acura tried to take a page out of Chrysler's book but failed to take the whole page. The Rotary E-Shift is much better & leaves more room like intended

Why not talk about the Volvo's interior/exterior? Why not drive these cars on roads that they were designed for when you even admitted that they aren't made for the track? Both these companies have track cars

I dont understand what the point of 0-60 mashups is, especially since you're at high altitude making the results irrelevant for most viewers. Instead just compare and review the cars.

I find it baffling how the TLX is confusing with the transmission. Are you freaking blind or just too stupid? I don't see how it's too complicated, otherwise people would complain about a different electronic shifter knob or lever. Is he complaining just because it's something new? I don't think he should be allowed to complain unless he can suggest something better or suitable. It really felt like he was at a stretch to complain and find the Volvo favorable on SOMETHING.

The TLX would have been considerably quicker on the track if it didn't have the world's worst tires on it. Acura seems to always put the worst tires on their cars, first the Michelin Pilot HX MXM4, then these Goodyears Eagle LS2. Get it together Acura.

+fadic4. You asked for comparable cars in same class, moron? Who cares turbo or non turbo? Cars in same class or weight or power are more impressive. The hype for this car to outshine TL That circulated is hardly noticeable. Lower weight and trans and size of vehicle for performance that doesn't feel extremely noticeable. An rsx type s is as quick as cars that have way more torque but will never feel faster when driving behind the wheel. TLX may feel improved w trans and slight performance but in reality is centimeters better. Get it Einstein?

I actually like the gear selectors, didn't know the acura had this. Pretty cool. I imagine someone that doesn't know about it going in the car and saying where the fuck is the stick?

This comparison seems unequal. Acura has SHAWD but Volvo doesn’t. While Volvo is turbocharged and the dynamics of the car are very different than Acura.
