Is the 2021 Acura TLX A-Spec the BEST luxury sport sedan for the MONEY? 

Anybody that see this comment. I hope you achieve all your goals in life.

As soon as I’m done with work, I come right here to watch a nice review by Joe and relax a bit. It’s my daily medicine to today’s crazy world. Cheers from Ohio

My wife finds 0.0% amusement whenever we’re walking together and I scream “on throttle!”

You know a car is good when you get a Joe Raiti “WOW, WOW WOW WOW!”

I've always loved Acuras because of their performance, style, features, and reasonable pricing. Lately though, Kia and Hyundai have done to the automotive industry what Acura and Lexus did in the late 80's / early 90's.

If I'm putting this much money into a car, I'm waiting for the Type S.

damn, that car is beautiful. That black is perfect for that car. It's rare that I love the interior and exterior of a car. I have a q60, making me wanna trade in.

Interior main console looks like NSX's, nice. Can't wait for the Type S.

Got the exact same one and spray painted my brakes yellow the amount of compliments I get from this car everyday is crazy

I'm really liking these New Acura cars Joe ...

Just picked one of these up last week....love it. I literally have zero complaints

I think I am about 95% certain I will be buying a 2021 A-Spec next spring. Acura will have to offer me some good financial incentives to buy a Type S. I think they will have some good offers on the A-Spec after the Type S is released. Great review Joe!

If it’s one thing I must say about you Joe is the fact that you’re so unbiased no matter how stupid a comment may be you’re always willing to agree with it and that’s part of the reason why I watch your reviews you’re very unbiased.....Good stuff everyone should be like that

Finally updated the interiors

Joe, you were surrounded by a bunch of folks today so I just gave you a “on throttle” as I walked by. I hope to run into you again around Tampa. I brought my ‘71 camaro. And gr8 review as always brother!

I wish the wheels could have been little more better like the accord sport ... it’s a bad beast for the type S

Joe, nice review! In the past 2 weeks, I test drove this, along with a Genesis G70 3.3T, Mercedes AMG A35 and handing back my Lexus IS 350 F sport next month and have to say, the Genesis G70 is the front runner. That TLX is beautiful, and has so many great qualities but they shouldn't have "detuned" the Civic R 2.0, they should have added to it. Over 4,000 lbs I could feel it whining to power it. 0-60 in 6.5 is slow for today's sport sedan enthusiasts. Most people that can afford it will gladly wait for the engine this car needs, the Type S with the V6. I will wait for the Type S before signing on the dotted line for the G70, but for those looking around and never considered that "Hyundai" as an option, give it the beans in sport mode and it'll put a smile on your face every time.

The front end/grill is so clean/beautiful. The back would've been perfect if it didn't have those exhausts.

Always love how this man uses food as a unit of storage space cracks me up but best reviews on luxury cars!

I ended up buying it last night. I did not drive the A-SPEC AWD the first time. I drove the A-SPEC AWD yesterday twice and bought it last night. Metal steel gray with red leather interior. Car looks hot. Going to miss the Hemi power but I am happy with this one.

Wow this car looks unbelievable. I was going to check maps to drive my kia around but this video blocked it. Great video!

Man I love that Acura Honda and Acura are killing it for reall

I have a acura and acura never dissapoints with their cars and my RDX really shines.

Oh boy this is a sexy one. Acura is really coming back with this car, i would be more than happy to drive it.

I make these and we absolutely love them. This is the best car we have ever made.

Dear Santa Claus, please go to Maus, get me a TLX A spec to put in my Haus. Hurry don't be a Laus.

This the exact car I purchased and it's been amazing. Extremely comfortable, pretty quick, and the touchpad is oddly easier to use than my previous/wife's touchscreen.

What is wrong with me? I keep telling myself- "no more black cars" and I keep falling in love all over again! I'll have mine with the RED interior, please.

I'm still driving my 2006 Acura Tsx after all these years. I'm wondering how reliable these new TLX are. Acura finally got their Grill game right after all these years.

I’m all giddy in anticipation for the new Type-S!!

Just bought one same as shown!! Amazing ride! A week in and I’m in love!

I watch alot of reviews by amateurs and pros... I have to say Ur hands down the best!

I don't know guys - I think the KIA Stinger GT2 is a better car. Acura is only sold in America. KIA/Hyundai/Genesis all of their models are sold worldwide.

Just bought a metallic grey one this week with black interior. Handles like a dream. The turbo four is a bit under powered for the weight of the car, but not enough that I wouldn’t buy it, but there should have been an option of the normally aspirated V6 instead of having to go to the Type S to get the turbo V6. The touch pad instead of a touch screen takes a bit of getting used to. All in all a quality well built ride.

This is nearly the exact interior as the new RDX. Good idea Acura......the RDX was the best interior Acura made yet. Wife has one

My first car was a 1994 Acura Integra so a part of me will always have an affinity for Acura.

I’m finally in love with the Acura TLX exterior again! Beautiful, classy, and sporty!

The price is good - the review is super thanks Joe 👍🏁

I love the murdered out look, I kinda wish the break calipers were painted red to contrast with the A-spect badge. I would have blacked out the all the other badges. With the power to weight ratio I feel a car that weighs that must the engine should put out at least 300 horse power. But overall I go like the car.

When you first showed the rear taillights the first thing that came to my mind was Subaru BRZ (current model, not the upcoming one). Beautiful car though and great review!

Wow...I really like that car. AWD performance with great handling. I love the interior and gauge cluster. Nothing wrong with analog gauges. Great review!

The rear end of this looks amazing

Hey Joe! I think this is my favorite production car of the year because of you!

I love the styling on the A spec. I love that there are analog dials on the dash- looks sportier than an all digital display.

I love how the car is black, because I like cars Black, especially the 2017 Rav4's , 2017 Rouges, and all any Dodge Muscle Cars.

Acura is making a strong comeback with the new TLX. I hope Acura brings back the Integra and Legend! Great review as always!

For sure on my list for next sedan in mmm, 2 years. Only thing better than the car was the review. Always top notch! Finally, great to see Acura is coming back. Took way too long!

Can’t wait to see the v6 turbo that’s gonna be a tlx unlike any other , finally with serious performance

LOVE THIS CAR!!!! SO SICK!!!! CAN”T WAIT FOR THE TYPE S!!!!!

They should have called it “ACURA LEYEND” is back !🔥👍

Got my 2016 Acura TLX and I’m in love. I can’t wait to buy this one!

What makes raiti the best car review/tester? - great personality -has his own unique words -very pleasant -very entertaining -Very indebth reviews -awesome person Raiti will be at 1 million subs by april 2021 guaranteed amd 2 million by year end 2021

I haven't seen a new car I needed to have in a decade, this is it. Need to see if my dealer has a demo model available.

Looks like Acura really brought the TLX into a new league - and fantastic review! Is the transmission improved in the new model? Does it now compare to the quick shifting Audi DCT or the snappy transmission in the 3-series? I have the outgoing model, and the gear hunting 9-speed transmission in the V6 version of that model is a show stopper for me.

Interior is absolutely beautiful

I can’t wait to watch you review the Type S as well

Nice review Joe ! Acura should have renamed this car, because its NOTHING like previous TLX models. Going to pull the trigger on TLX-S or the AR Guilia Ti in spring.

I can't wait for your review of the tlx type s!

Raiti. You are superb. I really want that box of Ding Dongs when you hit 1m! That was our agreement? Lol

Such a beautiful car! I saw a red one from a distance and thought it was a BMW 5 series but when I got closer and I was like “what in tarnation!! That’s definitely the new 2021 TLX”

18:43 If you're raiti I'm definitely raiti...

I think I'll wait for the Type S too, just a general comment on Joe's reviews, I think he's absolutely the best out there, very detailed and covers all aspects of a vehicle especially like his performance specs (0 to 60 quarter mile etc) I've noticed others are imitating his methods too, love his comical approach to the compartment capacity by using food stuffs, got a real laugh about putting nun chuks in one of his reviews lol...

Just bought this exact same car, and I have to say you did a better job of selling it than the car salesperson at the dealership. Driving the car myself, I couldn't agree more with your observations!

Not real fond of that shiny clear plastic cover/protector over the front "A" badge.

Nice car. Acura is making some very good looking cars.

Just picked up this same color beaut last weekend. Feels like it's underrated with the power that this thing puts out It's pretty surprising coming from the V6 j35. I don't really miss it at this point and I never thought that would be the case. This is more fun to drive. That's probably due to the entirely new independent platform. The interior materials are higher quality and the seat is so comfortable. The steering wheel feels like a sports car. Even though it's not a true sports car it gives you that feeling which is really nice. No connectivity in the back is probably due to not many families will be using this car. Also you can use the USB port in the center console from the back seat if you had to.

In my view. If it's going to be too big and slow... Rather have an suv or two foot longs. But always here for the awesome reviews from Joe.

No zonk for no pano? It's not a true A-spec if it doesn't have a Sports+ mode like the RDX. For $47K I honestly would rather get the RDX A-spec. I know they're two different cars but I rather just wait for the Type-S if I'm already spending that much on a sedan. I know it's going to be around $5K-$10K more after mark-ups which it will have due to the anticipated demand. Also Acura got really lazy with the rims this generation. It's basically the same after the tech package. Btw I'm a big Honda and Acura fan so not trying to hate, just stating my opinion.

Looks pretty baller reminds me of an ac' legend

They did such a great job with this, the front end is one of the best in the business, it would look good even next to a Camaro.

I traded in my 2020 Honda Accord sport 1.5T CVT for this! Put in white with the red interior and I absolutely love it. Definitely worth it and if you really want speed... that type s is going to be a screamer

I thought the thumbnail was an accord until I read the title

Thing is beautiful!!! I’m waiting for the Type S though!!!

This is my dream sedan!! Brilliant job Joe.

The biggest problem for most people here is the price of the car. Yes Acura got expensive like a lot of other brands in recent years. Is it worth it? Yes I think you get modern car, with a lot of features including safety for occupants. Smaller interior than it supposed to be? I think its not an issue in this case. Once again if the car would be 6k-10k cheaper, nobody would be complaining about anything. I went to Acura dealership today, and I have to admit it's a beautiful and well engineered car!

i already saw a new acura tlx :) its in my town

Hey man, I felt the Giulia to be a car that feels like 30 when going 50. I like a car that feels like I'm going 70 when I'm going 50. Currently in an FRS but looking for something more practical. Is this worth the test drive? Any suggestions? Keep up the great work!

That's a very nice car. I like how you explain the way the car looks and the way the things that work the best in the car. Acura sure is making some sporty looking cars. You have some nice watches. Especially the one you're wearing in the video. You're my go-to RU-vid guy when it comes to learning about the new rides.

I’m from Brazil, and we don’t have some brands here like these, but even though I like to watch you, cheers!

Actually the integra was the first Acura car released

Love this model ❤️😻

"When the Type-S comes out in February" it's April and it's still not here 😂

the nose lift on that car looked awesome as it went on throttle

This is definitely my next car

it would be perfect with a good old j35.

I'm intrigued by the fact that you said it feels "light on its feet" because that is a complete 180 from what many other car review channels are saying. I haven't driven one yet, so I'll reserve judgement, but I'm definitely intrigued by you saying that!

Sheesh, I just love these acura reviews Joe! Keep bringing them!

Thats wow wow car Very good review

Bro I really want to see the type S

Great looking car! I was surprised at the weight. It weighs about 300 lbs. more than my ATS with AWD and a V6. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Nice review! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

I plan on getting an Aspec soon. Awesome car and awesome review Joe!

Save yourself $10k and get the accord touring.

I know very little about Acura but how's the reliability of Acura compared to Honda?

VERY nice Acura! I'm liking the red-lit dash. Great camera work, Victor!

Great breakdown. The enthusiasm is contagious.

I saw a red one at the dealership. The paint looked very very good, which I find unusual for acuras/hondas, I wonder how it will age. Very good looking car, maybe a bit expensive, will definitely consider as a used car if I don't go electric

Why didn’t they leave the oval shape exhaust 😩😩

Absolutely love the tl. I am so excited for the tlx type s. I had a 2008 tl type s 6spd manual. I wish it was awd. Best Acura I have ever owned minus my clean 2000 Integra gsr. I wish Acura would bring back a 2dr couple again with a manual option and awd.

Thanks Joe! A ++ grade as usual. Love the grill and the back of it. It’s been to the pharmacy and is 50% stiffer as well. 😐

Arrived 🏁🇯🇵🏁🇯🇵🏁
