100% honesty here: best car review ever. I've seen Doug Demouro, Raitis Rides, Sofyan Bey, etc. You killed it man and you deserve way more views and likes. Kudos to you and to Acura for not making yet another boring Black, White, or Grey automobile with a Black interior. COLOR!! FINALLY!!!!

I always have to say one thing in this review: I consider as an Acura fan of their products especially this one. Also I totally love the paint job on this amazing sedan. Also this will be my top pick over it's competition, Because I want to drive this sedan so bad & I will show it to my friends & family as well. Overall incredible job & review / test drive bro.
Only one that's giving me pause before purchasing this is the Genesis G70 Prestige (4 cyl). Slightly cheaper, similarly beautiful (subjective), and potentially better performance. Both are outstanding and I'm having trouble deciding! Can't wait to test drive both.
@@dansourile5444 I can vouch for the g70. I purchased a used 2019 3.3t fully loaded for the price of a new Acura tlx a spec. I test drove both and I really loved the interior of the Acura, but the power and driving experience of the g70 was too much to pass up for the comparable price imo.
@@lanecox197 and unfortunately the 2023 G70 jacked the price up several thousand. :( The top 3.3T is now like $4k higher than the 2022 was. Ugh. I think I'm gonna get the TLX A-Spec. I drove the G70 2.0T and the TLX A-Spec. Both were nice (I'm sure 3.3T is a beast), but I'm gonna lean Acura here for the 2.0T models. :) Enjoy that G70! Which color did you go with?
Just got the blue with red seats outstanding car Traded in my RSX with 400,000 miles . The best thing is they have the same motor 2.0 i4, but the tlx has a turbo
Great review. Great details. I just bought a 2023 TLX A-spec SH-AWD (Apex blue with Ebony interior). I drove a new Accord Hybrid Sport a few days ago (couldn't find a Touring to drive within 100 miles of my house). I was a little disappointed that they don't go ahead and keep Acura ahead of Honda in every way. For example, why does the 23 Accord have wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto but the 23 TLX A-spec doesn't? I also wish that the 360 degree view cameras and heads up display were available on the A-spec model... other than those few things I mentioned, the car is near perfect for me.
Nice review! Picked up the all black version FWD with red interior a couple of weeks ago. Awesome car so far. It's an interestingly fun car to drive. Never thought a turbo 4 would not make me miss the j35 V6 I had in the last TLX.
@@TheRage191 do you have SHAWD? I have the FWD and the pull is actually better than my previous TLX V6 Tech. The torque and the 10 speed auto are a good match. Also the merging is good on highway. Also at highway speed it's very responsive. You can be doing 70 and so quickly you look at it says 86 87 and it's like oops. I had a GTI guy the other day going up an entrance ramp the the other day. He gave it throttle I wasn't expecting it. I was like half throttle driving normally. He of course passed me and probably felt great about himself. I did speed up to his tail on the ramp and I think he probably thought he was going to dust me. Oh no, it's not a race car but it's also no slouch. I wish I had given it more throttle when he was coming along side of me but these days you don't know if someone is going to get rage so it's not worth it. Also I'm not a spring chicken anymore but having just fun for yourself enjoying the car is what matters.
@@drivecfl yea I was going to get sw awd but my payment would of been higher. I'm looking into getting a high performance air filter from prl motor sports. The car is just to quiet for me I need to hear some noise
@@TheRage191 I think in sport mode it makes a decent interior sound that's piped in. Also don't know if you noticed the low hum when it's in low gear especially when it's cold? It's funny the outside sounds of a car will soon become less of a thing with electric cars. Probably in the future when there are still a few gas engine cars around that are loud people are going to frown because it will be the less common thing. 😂
Very True Statement You Made About Acura Making AWD Standard on Trims Above Base But Overall I Love The TLX And Hope To Get One Very Soon! Great Review!
I've been waiting for my 2022 TLX A-Spec SH-AWD since April. Production doesn't start until August 17 for what I want. I'm getting impatient, but I'm sure it'll be worth it.
Just bought one! Fun fun fun to drive! Speeds up nice and handles amazingly! No remote start is a bummer! But get the app and can do it that way for a fee….
I got one two months ago and it's the best car I've had. I've leased about eight cars in the last 20 years and I would say this is the best and that's with leasing other Hondas and Acuras. That includes 3 V6's.
Car specs are databases used to mirror womens anatomy. Designed for accuracy comprehensive performances and more. TLX models databases have A specs. Forwarding the motion for an elegant ride.
TLX has a little more back seat space and handles better, but the RDX has a little more cargo space. Also a little higher off the ground of course.. depends what you’re looking for 👍🏼
I drove a 2023 Type S over the weekend. Not a fan of that 2.4 L turbo particularly in sport mode. If Acura wants it to sound like a V6, please do not pump that offensive artificial exhaust sound into the cabin. Just make the Type S standard with the V6 turbo. And leave the regular TLX with a naturally aspirated V6.
my God this is a masterclass review. this guy deserves more subs than all the other car reviewers. attention to detail is unmatched. thank you
Masterclass?
He just said base TLXs have a 6 cylinders 😂

I can’t do Demuro! His tone makes him hard to take serious. Love RTF and Redline
I bought a 23 A Spec, and it’s by far my favorite car I’ve had.
Sounds like a sweet car man! Good luck with it 👍🏼

Ok the turbo makes nice noises if you know how to work it but I severely miss my v6 tlx it sounded so much better and pulled way harder

Good review. I will stick to Acura despite my TLX 2015 transmission had to be replaced. 2023 TLX will have 10 year warranty and that speaks to me.
How did you get a 10 year warranty? I thought it was only 4. Did you pay extra for that?

Great car. I have the 2022 ASpec SH AWD, and it is a blast.
What's the difference between the AWD vs the non AWD? Is this only beneficial if you live in a snowy climate to use the AWD?
@@bj10jgo if you want a faster launch go with the AWD
There's only AWD in Canada for 2023 models, and A Spec is the base model now.
Did you experience much tire noise?
paddles ARE aluminum ...not plastic. Nice review.
Great review!
Apologies if I missed this - Does this vehicle have Wireless Apple CarPlay?
I don’t believe it’s wireless but thank you! 🙏🏼
Good morning, great video! One question I have does this car come with remote start?
Yes!
Shoes in the glove box?
Nice review, thanks !
Thank you! 🙏🏼
2022 Acura TLX A-Spec or the RDX A-Spec? Which one is better?
TLX has a little more back seat space and handles better, but the RDX has a little more cargo space. Also a little higher off the ground of course.. depends what you’re looking for 👍🏼
The A4 is my favorite car in this class but this is a very sexy vehicle.
No remote starter & no USB-C for the back passengers it's 2022 Acura ? My 2015 has a remote starter ?
I drove a 2023 Type S over the weekend. Not a fan of that 2.4 L turbo particularly in sport mode. If Acura wants it to sound like a V6, please do not pump that offensive artificial exhaust sound into the cabin. Just make the Type S standard with the V6 turbo. And leave the regular TLX with a naturally aspirated V6.
Website shows the TLX Type S is a V6 engine?
U def didn't drive a type s lol
You’re lost brother
Once I get this car, I will disable the fake exhaust sound. Other than that, GREAT CAR for the money.
is this a detuned Type R engine?
Yes and no. The type r has a slightly bigger turbo, stronger pistons and crankshaft as well as a different ECU. Same block and cams I believe!
Wish i can afford this vehicle
No touch screen?
That’s what I thought until I bought one, with the distance the screen is from you the touchpad makes sense.
also it's REALLY loaded in case anyone missed it
do you know if Brandon is still there?
He was there a few weeks back when I reviewed the Integra so I’m sure he’s still there!
The design is good but all that money for a v4 is ridiculous
V4 lol
Of course the dealership has to plaster their name on the trunk.
Funny, I found it loud and very bumpy.
Beautiful #Acura
Great review. Acura lost me with the infotainment though. Too similar to Mazda and I HATE Mazda’s infotainment. It’s terrible
Hey, the same crappy tires that came on my Lexus.
"florida area"
failed. The fixed red gauges are boring!!! should be digital with customizations!!!! turn off!!! imo
