Great review Paul 👍🔥🔥💙

[@510jcas]

I agree!! Great review!

[@dano7145]

Sure, it was a clever stoke keeping the STIG's identity under wraps, but it was also hiding Paul's skills as a superb automotive journalist. More, please!

[@chronodriver]

Now that is too kind, thank you, you humble me sir!

[@deejayimm]

I agree we need to see more content from Paul.

[@kevinbreese5739]

Two things: 1.) Paul is a fantastic automotive reviewer. He should have his own channel "The Stig" with 1m subs. 2.) The TLX Type S is an absolutely gorgeous sedan from pretty much every angle, especially the front and rear end. They did a great job of capturing that in this video.

[@erminiobellissimo9945]

Nice to see the performance sedan is back. Well done Acura.

[@tri3pleagent]

Cadillac might have something to say about that...

[@Bittahmasta]

Thank you TFL for having Paul do this review. I typically love all your content and the entire team is excellent. Paul's style really breaks down the intricate details that us gear heads crave, A+!

[@atmartens]

I like the TFL guys, but Paul is a great addition and honestly better for this review. On the car note, I have waited years for this. So excited to see the return of the Type S!

[@Ecuador006]

Are you going to buy one then ?

[@pda4you]

[@stephenhendricks103]

Great review and an especially good "canoe" metaphor to explain the difference the torque vectoring of SW-AWD vs brake based AWD systems. The big news this morning is the F-150 Lightning but the TLX Type S deserves some attention. It's an outstanding effort from Acura.

[@normt430]

But when driven back to back with a showroom-fresh Audi S4 that Acura brought out for a Pepsi challenge, the Audi's suspension isolation and structure felt just a little more buttoned up. Car & Driver

[@garetjaxx]

Paul did a great job here. I hope to see TFL include more content with him in the future!

[@nathanconner3292]

Very good review. Paul was quite informative. He give out a lot of information that I didn’t know about the TLX type S. Acura has done it again!!!

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

I thought this review stood out among others on the new TLX Type S. I found Paul's insights on the car as a true enthusiast interesting. I'd like to see more reviews using him. Subscribed just for that!

[@donteadoss]

Great review as always, Paul! I’m finally excited about Acura once again because it’s been quite a few years; I was so in love with the original TL & CL Type-S models (saw that beautiful blue CL Type-S in the background) in the early 2000s and glad they’ve resurrected the moniker in a market that’s gradually “watering down” performance models. 🔥

[@jordanjohnson5784]

Wow this guy really knows his stuff! What a wonderful review! The way he explains the SH-AWD system and torque vectoring system was easy to understand and I finally understand it. 👍🏼 Great video!

[@sup3rmann]

What a review. I can listen to him talk all day.

[@flexhoncho6272]

Paul, great review. Informative, calm, cool, and collected! A most enjoyable video!

Love Paul doing reviews!!!

[@nabeelmohammed2781]

Really impressed with Paul’s style - one of the few sedans where it’s fine to be over styled - it has character without looking ugly (the rear end is my only gripe). I’d chose this over an IS500 F without thinking a second time.

[@MrMLE724]

Excellent review, thanks! Waiting these next 4-5 weeks before I can get mine is going to be even tougher now!

[@Yan7001978]

That was a great review! As a racing driver, you've adjust your feedback to a daily driver review with all the "feel points". From the seat to the steering and the modes.👍 That's "everything I wanted to know". Now it's time for my road test, when it will be available.

[@nevessl998]

Excellent, spot on review! Paul knows what hes talking about. Great car too! Home run for Acura.

[@relaxssingh]

@The Fast Lane car Thank you TFL and Paul for an excellent review and Paul is a fantastic reviewer. What a spot on review. I like the the way Paul blends in the technical aspects and explanations and that makes the overall review stand out and more interesting. Almost like sitting in a classroom with Paul. Please have Paul do more reviews. I have been waiting a long time for the TLX-S’s arrival and I plan on buying one later this year. Thank you again and looking forward to the next session of “TFL Reviews with Paul “.

[@vonstervon4407]

Wow where did he come from? This was a review I did not expect from TFLCAR. EXCELLENT!

[@TheKingkingg]

Not just because Im a 25 year Honda/Acura customer, but this is one of the best reviews I've seen in a long time along with a British car review of Honda e and of course Chris Harris. This reminds me of real television car reviews of like motoring TV, motorweek, etc because you review the car and talk just about the car highs and lows, it was focused, rather than that guy sofyan if you watch his review of same car.

[@dawford8981]

I think this will be my next car purchase and soon I hope. I figure that the nearly $10,000 saved over the comparable competition will buy the first 45,000 miles worth of gas. Friends have purchased German competitors in the past and have paid dearly in maintenance costs. Acura has a reputation for very good reliability. The TLX is a very good looking car that will fit into my conservative life style. I am old enough to think that this is likely to be the last car I buy and it might as well be a nice one.

[@ernestmitchell7690]

Love the TLX. But I hope they bring back the camera for the side mirror. It was one of the best features I have in my Accords

[@khronin]

AWD in any form is great.I have a KIA Stinger AWD and it feels just like the Audi a6 that i rent on business trips.Thanks for the clarification on the AWD.Only thing missing on this car is more HP.I would choose this over a CTS-V AWD--or a Q60 AWD--but with my money I chose a Stinger.I had a 50k budget and after my trade I paid 19k for my Stinger--wo I have 30k in the bank--also this was not out last year when i went looking or I might have gotten one or at least gave it a serious look.I had a crosstour and after 10 years the car was in the same condition as when i bought it--every part was tight---no mechanical issues ever--seats look new. So far though my Stinger has also ran flawlessly--buttons are also still tight--i have even gone to public drag night--4.27 to 60 and 12.7 in the quarter with no launch control.I will be in the market in 2024 or 2025--cars in this TT V6 class should be putting out 400 and hopefully faster numbers then my already quick stinger.

[@danielmelendez9943]

Already the Type S, with manual transmission from 2008 was a performer for the price and most people overlooked the overall capability of the car. I would expect nothing less than a revised type S for 2021. SH-AWD, performs well on inclement weather conditions with a lot of Acura cars. I own a 2011 MDX and the torque vectoring along with the outstanding AWD and 300 HP, provide a lot of power to move a large family SUV. I can only imagine 355 HP in the new TL, seems like a good concept to make every day driving fun

[@stevew7964]

Awesome review. I am looking at 3 cars in this class (including the Genesis G70 and Lexus IS350 F Sport) and test drove all 3. The Acura feels the most responsive and "quickest". The Lexus feels smooth, but dated inside and definitely slower feeling than the other two. Tough choices, but I like a LOT about the Acura. Thanks for the review! Subscribed.
