2021 Acura TLX Advance SH-AWD - POV First Impressions

@@Sal12538 True. A possible compromise maybe would be something where the screen becomes a touch screen when the vehicle is no longer in motion and you somehow bring the screen closer to you.

Salis Salman most luxury brands don’t use touch screens due to luxury customers not liking the screen collecting finger prints. I’m in the line of having both as an option, but that would for one increase cost and two create more difficult programming.

As you've said, the engine/exhaust sound is really enjoyable. I love that they've kept buttons and resolved to invest time in finding great ergonomics. Also, compare this to the Merc/BMW/Audi and note that while German interiors are of good quality, right now they tend to emanate this cold and "lonely feeling". Flatness is not a good stimulant to eyes. Lexus and Mazda are particularly great at making stimulating interiors that maintain a healthy ratio of buttons to screens and now Acura/Honda has joined them with this design.

[@CKPHH]

Theses a slight exhaust sound filling in from the Speakers that adds smoothness to the engine sound. Like a a NSX engines sound

[@flycomment1771]

It's not a real sound. It's just additional engine sound from internal speakers. A lot of manufactures doing such thing today, and unfortunately Acura started mimic such bs recently.

It seems like Acura addressed many of the issues w/ the 1st gen TLX: 9 sp ZP transmission, very laggy infotainment, size/proportions, and dual screen layout. The shifts still seem a bit laggy, but the sound system seems to have gone to a new level. The new I-4 has very similar performance of the outgoing V-6, but fuel economy is only moderately better. The I-4 TLX used to be a "bargain", but the price has swelled a little. This is a good first impression, especially coming from the previous gen.

Yawn.... Honda missed another opportunity to create a platform that performs with the upper tier Luxury Brands (BMW, Merc, Audi)... Heck Genesis does it right!... A proper Longitudinal RWD based platform that NO Transversely mounted platform can match..... Dont care that it doesnt share the platform with the Accord...Acura will and forever be known as the Econo (I cant afford a BMW) Luxury brand.....Honda Branding Failure once again

@Gabe Hernandez oh Gabe Hernandez, someone who uses their legal name as their KZbin handle...ive owned C63S, M5s and my wife drives a Genesis G70 3.3TT.... and i can tell you Acura is an Eco Luxury brand... sorry ifyou can only afford a TSX and are still dreaming of a TLX like this...you need much higher aspirations in life Gabe Hernandez

Acura is gettin their groove back.

Another failure from Acura. Shitty transmission, weak tires, poor infotainment system.

Awesome review, really liking this car. Could you possibly post or link all of the songs you played during the audio tests, they sounded so good with that audio system

[@chankenneth4231]

Finally has luxury vibe

[@SimornM]

it actually sounds really good! Im pretty impressed with it

[@Rick9482]

Well I guess this car is now on my list of possibles. The interior did it for me! Glad I've subscribed cause I'm learning new stuff and your opinion is carrying more weight. Your definitely not a rubber stamp reviewer.

[@reasonablepaul9499]

Just found your channel. You seem to be "doing" on-ramps the way I do, lol, which is nice to see that there people out there who actually use SH-AWD. Thumbs up just for that. :)

What kind of service longevity will the Turbo give is the question.

[@eric97909]

Time will tell, lots of turbos currently on the market to watch as well, hopefully they are good because I have an ‘18 Accord 😅

[@opwblade6952]

Super excited for this!

[@remioni4867]

It’s back!

[@SA-ze3kf]

Acura nailed it! Also, love your content.

[@TMM6900]

Interior looks like a yacht 😍

[@jsz2619]

Acura has removed the Advance package for the FWD TLX models. Available packages are: TLX, Technology, A-Spec.

[@alaricsaltzman5647]

Thanks for using the awd screen!

Correction: it does share parts with the accord. The transmission and engine were borrowed from the accord.
