The 2024 TLX Type-S is the Quickest Acura that ISN’T an NSX 

The RLX Sport Hybrid quite close surprisingly. Such a sleeper too.

I owned a 2008 TL Type S in the Kinetic Blue Pearl. I got it to 222XXX miles. It was such a fun car to drive. Something about Acuras during that time to me were magical. The TSX, first gen RDX and of course the TL were a lot of fun. The 2013-2018 Acura years were to me the worst, but I'm glad they're back on track making Type S and models that bring excitement.

the internet will tell you these are junk and overpriced sure they arnt the fastest thing under 60k but they are very well build and provide solid driving dynamics

I have the 2023 Acura TLX Type S. And I love my red analog gauge cluster. I keep the interior ambient lights red so everything matches. I could had waited a few more months and got the 2024. But personally I didn't see much of a difference.

Awesome, but last generation RLX very underrated was 377hp. Even though I love my 2023 type S, would be awesome at 390hp

Surround camera button on the end of the wiper stalk. 😉 Just got one here in Texas in this exact spec with the US wheel/tire. Love this car so much. All your praise and criticisms are spot on. Always some compromise with modern cool cars. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Great video nonetheless.

You look at this car and just think, what a sweet ride.

Just waiting for them to drop the 3.5l twin turbo from the NSX in the TLX Type RS 😏. 500hp. Just do it Acura! Stop hesitating. UNLEASH THE BEAST

If you buy this car, get the wheel and tire warranty. Maintaining the wheels on this thing, especially if you live in the U.S. (potholes), is a nightmare.

Excellent camera work my friend. Beautiful car.

This car really makes me miss my old ‘08 TL Type S 😔. But picked the IS500 over this. Idc if the interior is from 2015 I just couldn’t say no to a high revving N.A V8.

Great video/review.

This car is gorgeous

I have a 2021 TLX A spec with my lease ending in June....thinking about a Type S...this review was excellent and convinced me that its worth the money to upgrade. Thanks again

2nd lol! Great review! Awesome sounding car! with some mods and an tune i bet it will be a beast!

I love my type s and it gets ALOT of compliments

Great review! I love that colour combo in that Type-S. If you ever come down here in Ontario, please take the time to review my ride. I have a 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD 6 speed manual. Of course I added a a few modifications tastefully lol.

Nice review! Would love to see one on the IS500 and hear your opinion. Thanks for posting!

Of course a lot of other cars are quicker. Bmw, Audi, Cadillac. But those cars are also in the shop getting chhhit fixed more. Acuras are solid as a rock.

I’m more of an Audi guy.. I feel as if they make the perfect sedans for car enthusiasts. I’m a little biased tho, and I know it😂

Maybe it's heavy but that looks so comfortable and deluxe ❤

So I have an Accord 2.0 10AT…when launching it’s always been suggested to do it out of 2nd gear because that 1st gear is short. So I guess they did it like that on purpose for the Acura. Makes sense.

Did u film this in langley

I love digital gauges so for me that is a great feature.

try hitting the gas first on takeoff, and then downshifting, but almost right after you hit the gas if that makes sense..

Can't forget the Acura cl type s 6speed 2002- 03

Totally agree about the analogue gauges. The Digital ones feel bleh

Love my type-s; stage one make 370hp and 430+tq and wakes up the car and gets the 0-60 to 4.3. Boltons will make that even quicker. Only downside is the brakes if you track it but some better rotors, pads and fluid do wonders! Love the video!

I love the this car❤ but unfortunately it would b 6K down and $750 a month for 72mos😢 love my DB7 LS

I love everything about the TLX Type S except for the terrible fuel economy. I drive close to 20k miles per year and that would add up to a lot of gasoline expense over the year. Could I afford it? Yes. But I don’t want to.

Oh yeah? I had a 2008 TL-S. 😊

I had the 23 TLX Type S. When i found out it was direct injection only, i swapped it for a 22 Lexus IS350 F Sport.

At one point in time youd have to buy a BMW m5 to get that kinda power

They did that in the 2002 TL Type-S where the computer shift from 1st-2nd and 2nd-1st. You couldn’t do it yourself.

Type s should have a 6mt option 😢

Hit the drive button in sports plus. That will let you go into first

That's the first i'm hearing that you cannot shift it into M1. If it starts in M2 at a stop, does it drop to M1 at launch? But this car has me wanting to rush down to the Acura dealership. I am a bit older so prefer something a bit more "mature" than the Integra Type-S. BTW, love your commentary. You have good, non-cliche commentary and you're not constantly rattling off the long list of competitors. (watched your Integra Type-S video, too). Subbed to your channel!

I’ve only heard of cylinder deactivation in CA- is that also true for US?

I got a 2023 😅 thinking about trading in for a 24 😂

Does it feel fast or does the weight make this car feel sluggish?

I have my rlx sh '18, and test drove type s.... 2018-2020 RLX SH ANY DAY ANY TIME over type S... It is not worth paying 60k for 4.6sec to 60moh in crammed can of compact sedan size vehicle

The G70 is really the car this compares against price wise in the segment. Objectively, the G70 wins in pretty much every category.

Perfect car if you wanna spend big but have no interest in bragging to others. This is a car for "me" only

is ACURA even making these yet?!?! lol seen all these reviews and yet to see any at the STEALERSHIPS.... none the less they should have just revamped and made the RLX sport hybrid powertrain on this to be BONKERS OFF THE WALL TYPE of CAR!

Too bad it weighs as much as the Titanic.

It is a look that will probably grow on you. But this new style is so weird at first glance. Alot of cross branding copy. Like the hellcat spoiler, Toyota slit and edge and curve everywhere. Only thing i like is the interior.

Crazy how some cars never get an honest review because the reviewer cant even drive that well

Integra type s would smoke it in a roll race.

But engine sounds nice and sweet

Damn, this thing looks 100 times better than the new fake Integra, and it doesn't try to pretend to be something it's not. Good job Honda/Acura!

There’s a problem with the title to this video: TLX-S = 11.9 pounds per horsepower ITS = 10 pounds per horsepower The ITS will easily pull ahead of a TLX-S on a roll. You can’t argue with math and basic physics.

The type s has about 80hp/cylinder or 157hp/L, and this car is about 100hp/L. So inefficient. And my Acura drives the trans like that too. U can’t downshift into first gear

Can't stand the red interior so tacky.

Another sedan that looks great but too heavy making it run like a turtle...

The Golf R is faster and only 4 cylinders and a bit less expensive.

My gla 45 amg is 4 doors and faster than this by more than a little bit. 4.1 60 time. Quarter mile on 12.4. Got it for 40k used and I love it.

They have the wrong engine in that car. Should be a 3.5 and HP needs to be closer to 400hp to really be competitive.

Nice car just too heavy for its competition

Looks like a bmw steering wheel

This car does everything good but nothing great. And it looks good doing it. Thats what makes it appealing for the money. Yes you can get a BMW pay about 10k more and be faster. But then reliability becomes an issue. The Genesis would be the closest but it leans a little more on the softer side.

Quickest Acura not NSX. Slower than anything else in class. Weird flex lol

Nice, but a 2024 Mustang Ecoboost is just as fast for much less $$$.

0-60 in 4.6secs 😂😂🤣 I race these quite frequently in my 19 year old M3 (4.8s to 60) and destroy them all the time. Get your facts right buddy

I think the last gen tlx was better looking. Woulda been nice to see that gen with 350hp. This thing doesn't look bad but not a fan. It's also too heavy for just 350hp (300 wheel). A letdown to the type s badge if you ask me. So much less performance than competitors at same price range and less.

These are great daily cars, but won’t respond well to tune for more power. Acura designed this engine to have boost at low rpm and keep it all the way to 6k. They achieve it with small port heads, small intake runners and a small turbo which makes power instantly. That way you don’t feel lag. The problem is getting more than 400hp out of this. You would need to change the heads, intake, and turbo. Then crack the codes to tune past 6k rpm to allow more power. Now the problem is 10 speed. It’s not a performance transmission. Many have had issues with them. Don’t keep launching it or it will pop. Some have popped axles in these too. So this is a perfect daily for someone who is happy with the power and stock tuning. It makes power at all rpm’s. That’s what makes it a great daily. It’s never lagging. So it’s a huge trade off Acura made to get instant gratification and have reliability too. My biggest gripe is it shifts at 6k even in manual. So it makes an awful track car. It’s a huge weak link. It also won’t shift into first gear because the transmission will grenade. It’s not a performance transmission. Acura chose this transmission because it was cheap for them to build in house. It’s all profit. So they add protection so it lasts. So no downshifting into first and no revving past 6k.

1:55, 0-60 only 4.6 for 55k up price tag? My 15 Nissan 370z can achieve it 0.01 less. I know it's not an apple-to-apple comparison, but this thing is too porky. What a total flop 😤?

The m340i is superior to this sorry. Tlx is a sexy car tho! You just can’t beat the b58.

This car is NOT 4.6 seconds to 60. Everyone has gotten maybe 4.9……

Its ugly

Stinger GT1/GT2 smokes this car in every way for less money.

What do you think M240I vs Type S?
