2018 Acura TLX 3.5 L V6 Review

[@moeaziz82]

For the money I feel it's the best car in its class. Performance is top notch. This car comes with all the amenities that you need while other companies charge more for the same. If you want a car with incredible performance look no further!

[@drivecfl]

Correct! It's underrated too it seems when you drive one. The V6 naturally aspirated is fantastic. You feel confident driving it and the all wheel steer is great too. The Honda J35 is one of the best surprise engines on the road. A sleeper. Also no badge with the V6 so the people driving turbo 4s get a nice surprise at mid rpms when you leave them behind after they think that must be a lower displacement engine like I have.lol

Welcome Back Man! More Reviews to Come! 💯

[@PLATINUM2U]

Camerons Car Reviews very good review! im going to share this online.

[@mccraejoey82]

4g tl was still the best looking car to me but this is growing on me

[@bedd8934]

I prefer my 2012 3.5 over this.Everything about the car looks perfectly done,especially the interior.

[@blexy350]

It is not bad - the grille is overly sized for the front end. I wish they would change the button gear selection. The dual screen placement is to 'Honda' for me. The red interior on the a-spec is sexy though.

[@solomonugbane4127]

Good review. However, I thought the ILX was the entry vehicle for Acura which competes with the 3 series and c class?

[@ChristopherOSU]

The more serious problems with the 9 speed ZF transmission have been addressed with the 2018 model year - did you do extensive test driving in the "Sport+" mode?

[@drivecfl]

There as an update and the 19 model should be fine.

[@lookalike6270]

I just bought this car. He nailed it. He is right on the transmission issues. Awkward shifting. Brakes are uneven, and car lurches when coming to a complete stop unless extremely gentle with them. Nav system is a waste of time. Does not understand spoken English like Siri. Your phone is easier to use. I would not buy this car. Not kidding!!!!!

[@drivecfl]

Surprising to hear. Usually Honda/Acura have very good products. Also this V6 and transmission have been around a while. Did you get a 2019?

[@drivecfl]

Guess not because what you say is far fetched. Also Acura would address that if you had all those issues. There is a lemon law too. I'd take them up on it.

[@VoynaZ]

The older TLXs had the shifting issue I can't imagine for the refreshed model they wouldn't have addressed this issue.

[@shawnditty8517]

I have owned a 2005 honda accord and a 2013 acura tl They both shift the same, honda just isn’t good with transmissions but I tell you this Change your tranny oil every 30k miles and it will last you a long time

[@landonjohnson6352]

great review as always!

[@stephencannon3140]

Good detailed review without a lot of fluff......for Navigation models, can you purchase map updates for used vehicles? Looking at 2017 but want to make sure I can get a map up for 2020 well maybe 2021 but you get the idea?

[@stephencannon3140]

Never mind just answered my own question 2020 map update just under $120 including taxes and 2nd day shipping.

[@dwanray4521]

Why I don’t Navi system on my car? I got phone button instead navi. I got trim level.

[@bohan9957]

I wish the MDX could received the same infotainment upgrade with the faster capacitive touch screen and Android Auto/Apple Car Play interface.

[@JP-er1on]

Looks Awesome!

[@RTCompany]

what about the new Odyssey? :(

[@2trainproductions]

Roger Huang Don't worry! He will do a review of the new 2018 Honda Odyssey!

[@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947]

Are you planning to review the 2018 Toyota Camry XSE V6 once it comes out?

[@CameronsCarReviews]

FarhantheMovieGuy Yes

[@mapledoodle5516]

Yo, the GPS maps are from 2003? I was still in high school then. Since then I earned a masters degree, have had five different jobs, got married, bought a house, had three kids, and even gained twenty five pounds. What the hell is Acura’s excuse for not growing up?

[@drivecfl]

5 jobs? Wow! That's more attention getting than this car review.

[@nrborod1]

What about remote start--is that a dealer installed item on this trim level?

[@FamusFace]

Without any driving impressions it's not a good review imo.

[@KeithsTVHD1]

looks like every one is doing away with fog lights.

[@drivecfl]

Yeah man, those LED headlights are fantastic.

[@drivecfl]

@mkvl1490 yeah they're so bright.

[@TheDude12374]

Can we agree to stop saying "price point" when we really mean "price"?

[@robertsanchez7185]

This is nothing without a test drive

[@tigergutierrez9859]

Can this car be turbocharged?

[@TomesEsq]

So did you give up on KZbin or something? What's with the month+ of absence?

[@bohan9957]

The glare on that lower screen is awful. There is no way you can read it wearing sun glasses.

[@alifarsani2469]

Unfortunately the upcoming typeS will have around 350 similar to M340i, S4/5 or C43 AMG. It all boils down to the pricing. I got a TLX 2020 ASPEC few months back and right after that got buyers' remorse because BMW offered me a 2019 330i for almost same price, maybe 5% more. Even though TLX SHAWD is pretty good and the V6 generally speaking is more smooth but the interior and ride quality + badge respect of BMW is miles ahead of Acura. Also 330i's turbo4 beats TLX's v6 in 0-60. I test drove both and the extra torque in 330i is quite evident and you can definitely feel it but TLX's extra HP only is beneficial in highway and even then it is not much better than a 330i.

[@drivecfl]

Honda and Acuras are at the very least good cars. If you haven't driven them or owned them just looking at videos doesn't do them any justice. This doesn't mean they dont make stupid decisions like other manufacturer's.

[@2isadventures]

Yay! Finally!🎉

[@Ogee4life]

The Lexus ES 350 blows this out of the water, the difference in build quality, design and materials used is just way ahead.

[@toddmediumwellingtoniii478]

Samson Okoro in terms of interior yes slightly. However, the ES still has its fair share of cheap materials.The TLX on the other hand, is better in driving dynamics.

[@3333glen]

Std equipment is better on the Acura, and for $2k less.

[@justinade81]

The ES has nowhere the level of features you get in the TLX for the same price.

[@lincolnccoorrtteezz8236]

Thats like comparing a corolla to an accord totally diffrent ranges

[@dominicancash]

Yeah ok whatever u say

[@gabrielrivera5819]

What did you mean the 9- Speed transmission isn't reliable? As in down the line it may fail?

[@dontelindsey5846]

Lot of issues with it. It's a ZF Transmission

[@hhinojosareef1]

Need to make the bottom of the steering wheel flat. That's all folks.

Crazy how this is the luxury brand of Honda, even tho the Honda Accord just looks so much better than this Acura.
