I got my white with red with the all season tires this past Tuesday and I’ve been having soo much fun 😂 people will always hate anything. It’s a great balanced vehicle.
“Next time you think about excellent, don’t forget to put yourself on top spot”! Among a sea of car channels, you are one of top when I am looking to hear respected opinion. Thank you and keep it up.
An amazing car. Wish they did touch screen over the touch pad. I also imagine the back seat space wasn’t a big deal since most owners of this will probably have a SUV in their household.
Coming from an Accord CL7, and my current Lexus IS300, I sure do love Japanese, and if my country imported this one, I'd get it in a heartbeat. Great review, great car!
Feel like Acura finally has its groove back. This reminds me of an improved original TL. Also, saw my first new NSX on the road today, which looks much better in person. Cafe Ladro > Starbucks
Great sounding car. Great looking as well. The Color brings this down a lot through.. Thanks for the video/Acura review, Ryan. Have a wonderful weekend.
Truly love these cars. The active exhaust is amazing, love how there’s buttons for climate control and not a touch screen. Also enjoy the touch pad, keeps everything clean. These are also a pleasure to drive, a totally different experience than the regular A-spec TLX. All the sounds and buttons are also incredibly satisfying.
I love your show, but I have to watch out because i've bought two cars just from your reviews that have solidified my two choices in the past, the 2015 STI and a 2020 Audi Q5. You sold my brother and sis in law a Toyota 4runner. I've been waiting around for this car as well and your vid and review definitely peaked my interest in the TLX-S even more haha. Quit making me buy cars
I do imagine designers and engineers during a meeting and one comes with: "Hey, it's 2021, maybe we should put some USBs at the back!" and everyone else "Nah, nobody needs that".
Our street reviews aren’t as popular as our off-road ones. But we try to provide a well-rounded experience. (Also views are cached, it’s actually closer to 2k views now fwiw.)
@@drivingsports well i was busy spamming link of vid on discord servers hehe so sry fr late reply but ur experience is the best i mean u talk about all advantages nd disadvantages nd not try to hide any disadvantages (like most reviewers for cash) anyways keep up the awesome content my day always gets better aftr watching ur vids
Wow, a review of this car that isn't super critical. Also, a 4.7 second 0-60? I havent seen anyone else get that. Perhaps they just wernt trying hard enough
For the "stop and go" at least on the accord it auto holds the brakes when you come to a complete stop for so long, "BUT"!! You’re able to hit a button and it starts going again on its own. Miss my accord, have a pilot now.
15:00 - Adaptive cruise with what they call Low Speed Follow - it’s behaving exactly like my ‘17 Civic, which I think is great. I use it all the time on my commute. I think it helps me keep an eye on the other traffic around me, too, because I don’t have to keep counting my two-second gap all the time.
In my view, physical buttons are proper buttons, much safer than virtual buttons accessed via touching, much more luxurious. That is what a proper interior should be---physical buttons and proper touchpad instead of touch screen everywhere.
I drove this car on Friday and was not impressed. I currently have a m340i and my wife has a Alfa Romeo Giulia sport. For the price, this is about the same level as my wife’s Giulia, except her car was $10k cheaper. The dealership where I test drove the car was asked $67k for it. The bmw was actually cheaper and it’s better in every way. I really wanted to like the type S, but it was just not that great and, the performance was underwhelming compared to its competition. I would much rather buy the Genesis G 70, it’s a lot cheaper and the interior is way better.
The car will start up in the drive mode you have it setup in your driver preferences you can make it start up in any mode you want you just have to tell it what you want .
"...We recently reviewed the 2021 Acura TLX Type S, a direct competitor of the CT5-V, and it doesn't seem to deliver the same level of soul-stirring enjoyment that the CT5-V does. That's partly because the Cadillac has 51 additional lb-ft of torque versus the Type S, but also because the Acura also feels heavier and less enthusiastic about in its movements..." Motor Trend
…okay? The TLX is selling better. End of story. Oh and it’s not built by a company with an infamous record of quality.😏 Norm, please get a new hobby rather than hating on a Brand of vehicles which don’t even acknowledge you. I see you on EVERY Acura model review videos.
@@cesarreynoso9773 at least Buick, who outsells Acura, has recommended models by Consumer Reports. Acura currently has no models recommended. Acura is a Honda+ brand today.
@@normt430 please do NOT compare Buick to Acura, any car enthusiast or mechanic would say Acura is miles ahead in every way. Buick does *not* outsell Acura in the U.S. Buicks are close to a mainstream Brand. Consumer reports? Please cite a source which isn’t paid to favor brands. Nope, other than the ILX, all current and new Acura’s are on their stand-alone Acura platform. Before bashing a brand please inform yourself.
@@cesarreynoso9773 acura's have always been made on the same line as Honda’s. Even made by the same Honda people wearing Honda coats and hats. I have seen the assembly line RU-vid. "...Acura says the same for the RDX, but it also revealed that its crossover “is based on a common platform that underpins other vehicles, including the CR-V.” This “common platform” is modified for use in the RDX and “is engineered much differently to fulfill the unique performance requirements set for RDX and the Acura brand.”" autoblog Buick is one of the best brands for the money even today. "...when it comes to long-term reliability in particular, Buick has absolutely decimated their supposedly more fashionable family member. While most older Cadillacs rival old Kias when it comes to long-term quality, Buick is ranked #1 in our study when it comes to one important metric. Length of ownership. For active brands, the oldest trade-in on average in our study covering nearly 1,300,000 vehicles is not a Lexus or a Mercedes, it's a Buick. The reason is while a lot of premium brands try to pursue greatness to an audience that tends to have a more fickle and transient nature towards car ownership, Buick has been able to focus on what I would call 'fine'-ness towards a more conservative audience that simply looks for a car that can comfortably do the job. If you ask an owner of an older Buick what they think of their car, the answer you're likely to receive is someone in the realm of, "It's fine". There really isn't a lot of love for an older car that is created for conservative tastes. But for those who consider cars to be little more than a comfortable intermission between going here and there, Buick has fulfilled that reasonable expectation better than nearly everyone else...." thedrive
@@normt430 like I said bud, get back to me when the enclave sells more than the MDX, when the envision sells more than the RDX, and when Cadillac outsells those models as well.
Enjoyed this Review on the Type S. Check out the small clip I made on the Golden Type S here : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nBn7O12CCTc.html
nice video and format. Looking at the dash at about 17:47 etc, is the reason to stay away from this car. OMG, is it the '90s again?? Hey Acura, take a look at KIA, etc for ideas. Merci
"wish they would bring back the Integra :(" Why? Have you ever owned an Acura/Honda product, whatsoever, in your short life, which started long after the Integra was no longer in the market?
This might be the best front biased AWD system, but the system in the M340i and G70 is way better with actual limited slip diffs in the back. Both of those cars are also able to send more power to the back making the much better driver cars.
The Genesis G70 is better inside, makes more power, is lighter (by about 300+ lbs), faster, corners better (because RWD based AWD and, again, lighter) and can be had for less money. It would be really ill advised not drive one before running out to an Acura dealer to look at this.

And, you are here to protect the idiots who are willing to throw away $50K on a very slow Acura TLX, right? After all, you are a public servant who wants to protect the prospective buyer from bad products. If, you are not paid for this service, consider the fact that you may be the idiot. After all, Hyundai/Kia is paying a lot of money for making commercials even on RU-vid. HOlc of the commercial that cuts off the video I watch on RU-vid is a Hyundai/Kia commercial. So, I hope you are not that dumb to offer your services for free.
@@ThirdBrainLives It has a fantastic warranty. Acura transmissions had TONS of issues up until like 2 years ago and they've never made a 3.0T. Doesn't make sense to fanboy off of something that's never been released and proven
This car would have been better to most than the g70 if it was 300lbs lighter, had 12 more hp and had a optional touchscreen. U love this car though it’s just a step in the right direction, certainly not where it should be yet tho lmao
Ct4v black wing easily trickles up in price with a few options, reliability isn’t as good and resell isn’t as good either. This car is just one of those cars where you can get in and drive and not worry about anything.
This car is really made for driver and front passenger. Acura thought of everything upfront but forget everything in the rear for a luxury sports car. No ventilation seats, USB -C ports, no AC/Heat controls, privacy screens, and no space. Sad for a 50K car.
0-60 4.76? Literally all of the competition does a better job at acceleration / quarter mile. As an Acura owner a I wanted this to be a better performance bargain but it's a disappointment.
200-300 lbs too heavy, 2 gears too many, No touch screen, Rear passenger leg space sucks, despite 3” wheelbase stretch, Small trunk, NO VTEC! LOL 07-08 was a better package. Had an awesome 6 speed, touch screen and VTEC, and plenty of cabin space for 4 passengers.
Just another transverse engine turd masquerading as a sports sedan. Crappy dynamics for real sports driving in curves. On top of all that, it's butt ugly. Sorry to all you fanboys.
