[@antisocialist907]

BMW, Audi and Mercedes cars have become kind of boring, and common. The Type S is a nice alternative to the over-priced and (generally unreliable) German sport sedans.

[@MiniatureMasterClass]

Great to see someone mention the garbage quality of all the German brands.

acura built this for honda/acura fans and customers, but everyone here is acting like most tlx shoppers are cross shopping the gv70, m340, etc. with this. i get the feeling i'm looking at a lot of "i would buy _ over the tlx-s" comments from people who can't afford anything in that price range ha ha.

[@marco30599]

Tbh! Like people want what they want and don’t really care if the other brand has a comparable car that’s more cost effective. If you like the M340i get it, you like the S4 get it… but these people need to stop policing the comments making people feel bad for liking or wanting the Type-S. Idc what they say I’m getting me a Type-S by the end of this year. I have always had a great experience with Acura.

Good review, it's a cool car, but I eventually settled with a fully loaded Honda Accord instead. It's almost half the price, has an actual touchscreen (hate how these luxury carmakers are all starting to go touchpad like Lexus and Acura), has heated rear seats and rear USB ports. Again, all this for almost half the price. Pretty unacceptable if you ask me, given the whole point of having a luxury sedan is to have more features than mainstream brands.

[@CarConfections]

Still an accord tho

[@cesarreynoso9773]

Awesome car! Glad Acura brought Type-S back. 🤤

[@chronos4573]

I have the TLX Tech Pckg trim level and dont regret the purchase. However, there are a few missing standard equipment/trim items that should be included on the mid-cycke refresh for this in the next year or so. 1. Matching rear door trim (Metal/Wood/Carbon fiber) and bezel illumination on pull handle areas with illumination like there is for the front doors. This is the greatest omission that detracts from the otherwise stellar design aesthetic and screams cost cutting. 2. Rear seat area charging ports should be standard and a 120V wall outlet should be available in higher trim levels like on Cadillac models, GM does charging ports right : ) 3. Left/Right door rear view mirrors should be auto dimming like the center one is. 4. Wireless Apple Car Play and not just the cabled version. 5. LED Trunk illumination, the current incandescent bulb is like using a birthday candle to illuminate the trunk at night. I've installed a lighter color carpeted trunk mat and it does help with getting contrast to see what is in the back of the trunk.

[@a32tl]

I love this car and am very glad you reviewed one in the color combination that I'm interested in. I'm pretty much sold on the Type S and at this point am planning to buy one next summer. Good review and stunningly beautiful car! Kudos to Acura!

Terrific video of the Acura TLX Type S!!! You guys are AWESOME!!

[@abep.3110]

Having recently driven, m340i awd, s4 and now the Tlx type S. They are all very different driving experiences. The 340i feels heavier and more comfortable than all 3. The engine feels composed and doesn’t come alive until you’re breaking the law. The s4 feels pretty manic and light on it’s feet, but it doesn’t feel special otherwise feels like everything Audi has been pumping out the past decade. The tlx type s feels like a happy medium between the two and brings a smile to your face with the turbo spooling but the modes really dictate how you want to be driving. Bummer on the s is no heads up display, or wireless CarPlay, not as insulated as the Bmw. If it’s a car im planning to own out of warranty I’d bet on the Acura. For a lease or a screaming cpo deal I’d take the bmw

[@onlystockcars3769]

The M340i is the most uncomfortable and worst made car in it's class. Just the cheap rough plastic on the doors is enough to not want to even proceed with the test drive...let alone the fake sound pumped through the speakers.

Really do applaud this engine, but this car presents a few head scratchers...features of what should be your top line model like a head up display and heated rear seats, items offered on the 4 cylinder Advanced model are excluded here? Again no USB connections for rear passenger...dumb, considering they're readily available on a $20k Kia Forte. And really not a fan of the front end where the hood meets the plastic front clip as it presents pretty obvious uneven panel gaps. On the previous generation the hood meets the grill much more elegantly.

They only offer it on the second allocation…which makes zero sense!! No one at any dealership has been able to explain to me why some people offer and some do not. Probably the most frustrating thing about purchasing this car, other than waiting three more months for it to be built (and I’m the first on the list!!) Instead of the $800 performance upgrade being added to the price of the car they told me it’s a $2300 wheel replacement if I want to do it when I get the car. So that is really disappointing.

The Civic is almost a foot smaller yet has 3" more rear leg room and a bigger trunk. I can't stand people that say this car isn't meant for 4 people. It's a MID SIZE SEDAN. All of the other competitors (s4, 3series,C class, G70) are 1 Foot shorter and have the same interior space. Most people daily drive and cruise with other people. I was at Acura looking at this car. The salesman was 5'8", I sat behind him (6'3") and my knees were crushed. I had to spread my legs wide to be somewhat comfortable.

A lot of reviewers are not showing the true size of the back seats. They move the front seats forward and make it seem like it's roomy. I went to see the TLX a type and sat behind the salesman who was 5'8, I'm 6'3, and I had to absolutely spread my legs wide open to avoid the seat back that was jammed into my knees. This car is 1 Foot longer than all it's competitors

Acura has a winner for sure, however, they need to do some tweaks in the next few years. Weight savings would be the first thing. Adding 20-30 horses at least should be second. Adding more legroom in the back. Adding usb ports in the back. Lastly, reconfiguring the infotainment system and adding a touchscreen. I think if they could at least do a few of these things, and not increase the price too much, they would be the segment leader easily.
