oh 100% after seeing the new MDX! and with the BANG AND OLUFSEN System.. surprised they did not just do that with the TLX........................ the true touchpad is horrendous to use... especially with carplay and when the car is in motion etc....
@@layne4376 It has higher predicted reliability than the BMW, according to consumer reports. Also, unlike the BMW, it has real torque vectoring, double-wish bone suspension and adaptive dampers standard. It's also $10K less than a comparably equipped M340i (with xDrive), with a better audio system and ventilated seats. The BMW needs the track pack to get better brakes. Also, the TLX looks much better. There's more to a car beyond 0-60 timing, and it's as fast as most of the other cars in the segment (Genesis, Lexus IS, etc.). You're crazy if you think the BMW will last longer than this Type S.
First off, awesome review as always guys! I think the 9 donuts would have Joe (Raiti’s rides) jumping for joy 😅😅. Quick question though, does Mason ever drive? I think I’ve only ever seen Drew drive lol. Jokes aside, keep up the awesome work!!
I own a 2021 with this same exact spec. I rate my car a 7/10. Design is amazing, sound system and awd system are fantastic and the suspension is solid but everything else is downhill from my experience and hearing other owners as well. It’s not as reliable as you might think.. there have been many problems with transmissions to tech and body frames. I personally hate that the gas tank is small and limited performance to weight ratio. Rotors and brakes from Honda are absolute crap for this car. Lastly.. the value is starting to drop on the car unfortunately. I don’t regret it getting it but im getting rid of it next year for the Germans. In particular that Audi RS5 Sportback. But I recommend this car for a nice sporty comfortable daily commuter for this segment. Hopefully my honest experience helps out a potential buyer in here.
@@MidnightAspec While the RS5 is definitely an M3/4 competitor, the 340i is the car that keeps up with in in terms in acceleration at 30K less which is wild. BMW is out of their minds lately.
@@user-bl4vm9vb1jyou're making some terrible decisions lol. 3 cars in the span of what? How much money have you lost trading them in this consistently lol
I love the TLX and think it’s perfect with the exception of the output … ~45 more horses and it would be absolutely perfect. A lot of people think the 355 is adequate, which it’s great, but when the Stinger and G70 produce 376/365, and the M340i produces 382, I’m thinking it could stand to hit ~400. - But then again, Honda has always been conservative in their numbers … dah well.
I’ll have to disagree on the touchscreen. It’s just more convenient not having a touchscreen to be honest you have your eyes on the road and your hands on the dial. I think it’s just depends on the driver. I think they are doing Wonderful with the non-touchscreen.
I love the TLX, but Acura needs to seriously work on their panel gaps. I can see in this video noticeable differences in gaps all around the car. Please get this fixed asap.
No heated rear seats… RDX is cheaper with heated rear seats on both of the top two trim levels. That’s sad. Any idea about the Acura ZDX or a Toyota RAV4 limited? Keep up the amazing work! Another amazing video! ❤❤❤
Did I miss it? Are they run flat tires? My 24' CT4 Sport came with 19' wheels, Brembo brakes and run flat tires. No tire tools. No tire jack. No air compressor with a can of "booger snot" and no tire plug kit and I'm ok with it. Come in?
i would buy this car today if it was better on gas, the back seat area is way too small and not having a touch screen and that silly touch-pad is ancient and needs to go.
Interior is still a dealbreaker. The large exterior with tiny and ugly interior are terrible design choices. Touchpad needs to go along with the button shifter.
1,000 lbs heavier than the Integra Type S and only 30 more horsepower. Worse MPG. Automatic transmission only. Not worth it. Only good thing is the AWD.
Its not trying to be. This will actually be on the road in 5yrs issue free, and give the customer their moneys worth and not the BMW service department.
@layne4376 it actually is. Just look up REAL CUSTOMER complaints and actual recalls and customer class action lawsuits that have to be reported to the government. Making car and drivers 10 best or Consumer Reports reliability scores judged by bais 15 person team is not the same as actual consumer real world reported issues. While BMW has come a long way, thier still internally junk made of plastic parts. Lexus and Acura, while not as popular, still have triple the lifespan. Sorry to be the one to break it to you. I mean, why do you think the resale value can't hold up to a similarly equipped Japanese luxury vehicle. People know their junk there, just great status symbols.
@@layne4376 and now I'll explain how you contradicted yourself. You downplayed the TLX Type S beating the G70 in the Lightning Lap by saying "no one tracks their cars". MotorTrend's Figure-8 hot lap is a better real world metric as the speeds reached are closer to real world speeds, with an emphasis on driving dynamics like cornering. So with the TLX Type S beating the G70 (and the M340i) in the Figure-8, you acknowledged the TLX Type S is the better handler.
