Used Acura TLX for Sale

This car is amazing. If you can afford a car at this price point, this is the best that money can buy. It drives like luxury limo with good fuel in economy mode and converts to sport agile performance sedan in sport mode. Fuel economy is even better than advertised. There is a lot of technology and a learning curve but eventually you get a good use of most of the features. Interior is super quiet while driving, and it has a buttery smooth transmission. However when you push it hard, it gives you roaring sound. I-4 was also impressive but feels peppy and sporty without that luxury feel of V6. AWD is awesome too. Highly recommended. Awesome build quality. Bluetooth. Make sure your phone is compatible! Apparently, I am hearing that Acura is not the fastest brand out there to update their Bluetooth software. I had no problem so far, but some close friends are experiencing nerve wrecking issues with their phone connectivity. Specially older models with newer phones. You probably think it's not a big deal until you experience the problem, and it's very frustrating. I love the car, and I am planning to drive it a long time, but they must make sure Bluetooth connectivity is there.

The Acura TLX is an excellent replacement to an Acura TL (which I drove for the past three years). In terms of space, it is equal to the TL. I cannot perceive a difference in the available interior space inside (I am 6' and heavy set) and I am totally comfortable in this car. In terms of performance the car accelerates quite well and it really knows how to "get out of its own way." The audio system is just fine (I have the standard setup) and I have no problem dealing with the two screen control. Anyone who says it's confusing just hasn't taken a few minutes to learn how to be comfortable with it. I like that I can now "type in" directions to the "Nav system" as opposed to the TL which required me to "spin and select." The soundproofing has been significantly enhanced and it cruises at very low cabin noise levels. I really like the safety features such as the blind spot warning. I also like the Lane Keeping Assistance System (LKAS). It works very well. If you don't keep a light touch on the wheel while it is in use, it will notify that "Steering Required" after about 20 seconds which is fine with me. After all, this is not a self-driving car but the LKAS makes a long highway trip very relaxing just as cruise control does. Mileage is amazing. I get 25 MPG combined city and highway and it will travel over 500 miles on a full tank of gas, driving on the freeway. I have driven non-stop from L.A. to the Bay Area without getting into reserve. What I would change: I hate the engine idle stop feature (which is the default and kicks in at every stop). I would prefer that the default would be that it is OFF and you would then choose to turn it ON. I also disable the collision warning (that you are over taking the car ahead) because it sets off too many annoying false alarms every time I approach a car ahead of me. I would make this default to OFF as well. Finally, I wish it had exhaust tailpipes to funnel or direct the exhaust away from the back of the car. As it is, the back end of my (white) constantly gets sooty from the exhaust getting caught up in the turbulence behind the car. Finally, it sometimes "hangs on" to a gear too long. For example, if I use the downshift paddle shifter to decelerate, it may hold the selected downshifted gear too long when I accelerate out. Summary: hey, it's just a car and no car is perfect (at least that I can afford) and overall I am very satisfied with the TLX. It is a real step up from the TL and I am very glad I bought it. I think it's one of the best kept secrets sport sedan class and offers terrific value especially when compared to its pricey German competition.

My Acura is sporty and handles well in all conditions. It always looks good when I am driving around town and I feel quite confident in it. There has been very little maintenance that my car required. Over the years I just had to put new brakes on it and add a bit of transmission fluid. Other than that, that was it! The interior could have been made a little bit better since some of the plastic parts seemed cheap and flimsy. Otherwise I really like the exterior and it rides well and handles great. Many of my friends ask about the car and I am always happy to tell them that it was a great deal for the money. I once took it on a cross country road trip and it performed like a champ. There was never any doubt and it always held top speed with the other cars. The AC and heat works great and the factory made speaker systems are excellent.
