Yea those cost cutting buttons have to go, hated it in the nsx as well Porsche mini knub shifter, they need to get rid of the knob shifter as well they just scream cost cutting. A traditional gear level hand rest of metal and stitched leather is preferred and more premium by design.
To me, the SHAWD on the TLX is a no-brainer. It improves cornering in wet weather or dry by helping to rotate the car around corners. This more than makes up for the added weight. Also the adaptive dampers are amazing. In Normal or Comfort mode, it is just as smooth as my large heavy SUV on rough roads. But in Sport mode, no body roll. Nice....
I have a soft spot for this car - Last summer, I was looking at TLX Type S, the BMW 340i, and the Lexus IS500. I ended up going with the IS500 simply because of the NA V8. The TLX came in second as it had all the modern amenities, good looks, and reliability that I was looking for. I did wish the performance was just a tad bit better but it was still "quick enough". This refresh makes an all-around great car even better.
How are you liking the IS so far? I'm all over the place. This TLX, the IS500 and the CT4V blackwing in manual. I love the V8 in the is and the manual in the CT4. We have the MDX and I like it a lot and the TLX would be a lot cheaper than the IS or BW Caddy. Ive had 20+ BMW's and the new ones just don't do it for me.
Same I have a soft spot for this car as well. The thing that turned me off is the rear is too cramp and wish it was more practical. Especially with being a dad in the future I opted for the Stinger still get your performance but the rear is bigger and lift back makes life so much easier.
12:01 Japanese man... God love em. I think what makes them fantastic also keeps them from being that much better. They smooth out to much not allowing for any character. Id say of all the nations Japan makes the most electricness internal combustion engines. They are smooth and free of any vibration. That goes for motos as well. It keeps me from the brands in general they all run inline 4 which are ... smoother, free of vibration compared to Italian V4's which are more compact, but have character, they are a bit gruff. EVERYthing they do is perfection to a default. Sometimes you want unperfection. I mean you want smooth and silky the Honda CBR RR-R has a race inspired inline 4 which feels like an electric internal combustion engine. If you could mix the two that's what it feels like. Just a effortless silky smooth dynamo. But i love hopping on the Ducati and feeling the difference and i prefer it ever so slightly over the more perfect engine.
Worst part about watching an Acura review is that they're not available here in the UK and that sucks. Constant reminder that I won't get to own one, even though that would be awesome as they look amazing. Oh and btw, congratulations on your new born son! Good name choice :)
I think Acura is not even available outside of North America south of Panama. The only other international market I can think of that has Acura is Kuwait, interestingly.
Subtle refresh but it's starting from a great place and it's still so good. Probably a good thing I had been searching back in the peak of ADM and Acura hasn't ditched the track pad (Mazdas rotory is better, I'll fight about it): I would have been more than willing to stretch* for the type S over the Mazda3 turbo otherwise, and I'd never have been able to get my MX-5. But there's just something special about hopped up executive sedans/more subtle sports sedans that are largely missing from the roads today. *"Stretch" is defined as double my budget and only eat bricks of bulk nissin ramen for 3 years😅
I traded my 23 TLX Type S in on an Integra Type S. The horrible fuel economy, 14.1 mpg average, and the bad rear seat leg room were not ideal for my family and I. A rear facing car seat barely fit in the TLX. Aside from that I did not get along well with the 10 speed auto. Never seemed like it could make its mind up. I much prefer the Integra because of the 6speed and the extra rear seat room. A car seat actually fits without having the front passenger seat the full way forward. I get much better mpg at 23.7 average. I don’t live in a city so having a manual makes for a much more engaging experience and I don’t have to deal with traffic. The biggest complaint I have with the ITS is the passenger seat isn’t powered. Performance wise the TLX has a faster 0-60, not by much however. From a roll the lightness of the Integra definitely makes a difference. My buddy has a 23 G70 and he would gap the TLX but with the ITS I hang in there way better and do not get gapped by a mile. For winter driving I got a second set of wheels for cheap and winter tires, handles the weather in western Pennsylvania without issue. Lastly is that I was looking for a Type R but I couldn’t find one for under 55K with dealer mark up. I was able to get my Integra at MSRP so it was a better deal. Either way you can’t go wrong. The TLX you have is a wonderful car and fits your lifestyle better and I’m happy you are loving it. It is a great car. The internet loves hating on Acura Edit: One other thing that I remembered that drove me crazy in the TLX was the brakes were very strange at low speed. Coming to stop when the transmission would disengage and go into neutral the brakes would seem to release braking pressure then apply again causing a jerk. Not sure if it was a 23 TLX issue or just my specific one.
My buddy had a 22 type s and never took it out of sport + mode, and always ripped it everywhere and lowest he got was 18mpg, how the hell did u get 14?😂
@@Frankguligan256 I don’t know dude, I like in a really hilly/mountainous area so maybe that caused it. I also only do “city” driving. Such as constant switchbacks and always have to stop at least every mile or so for stop signs or traffic lights. I only get 21 average in my ITS as well. On highway trips I’ve gotten 33 so that’s not bad.

I'm glad they finally put in a digital dash but it looks graphically too similar to the honda pilot's I wish they differentiated it more like how Audi does with VW
I was hoping they improved the analogue and kept them and instead put a touchscreen on the infotainment.8ys unfortunate all the analogue which cost more and last longer are being replaced by limited life LCD screenem
Kirk you should report on the recent problems in the midwest, more specifically Illinois on all the Teslas left stranded at the local superchargers with long lines of Teslas waiting for superchargers that don’t even work. Dozens of owners left their cars abandoned because they couldn’t charge. It hit many news channels a thousand miles away! I can get you lots of info and get you with owners for pictures or videos if need be.
Congrats on mini Kirk! I went Integra Type S because most of my driving is on long straights with next to no traffic and the odd bends so I can enjoy rowing through the gears. I do really like the looks of the TLX Type S but if it were my money I'd probably spend a bit extra and go for the BMW M340i in this class, just can't beat the rear biased AWD and B58. Great Video!
@@MrNodeeeI chose the type-s. I paid 16k less up front and probably another 10 in repairs over 6 years, plus the BMW will be scrap at 150,000 miles, while the Acura will fetch me 20,000
Changing the sceen to a touchscreen and adding a manual transmission would be amazing on this. Dont care about the 0-60 or weight just as a enthusiast gt car would be great.
I think the TLX is a fine car when you realize what it is trying to be and not to be, it’s not an M3 or C63 competitor, it’s more of a base S5, M340i, C43, IS500 etc competitior. One mistake I see people make is saying that SHAWD basically turns the TLX into a RWD-ish car which is not true. The SHAWD system is fantastic but can only send that 70% to the rear in very specific occasions which most people will never reach so primarily it defaults to being a FWD based AWD system that can torque vector in the rear to help you out of corners. One thing that irks my about the TLX tho is how the rear door handles are every so slightly higher than the front😂, but you can only see that if you’re looking at the car straight on the
I tried smashing the gas around a corner on a rainy day like he said, and I ended up going sideways. Had to counter steer to correct it. So don't think the shawd is going to save ya if you're taking fast turns, cause the rear end will shoot out 😂
The only current Acura that you can do that with is the RDX SH AWD. I feel like the gearing and hp/ tq in the RDX is the best for full throttle turns in sport mode. In my TLX type s with summer tires, the rear slides out, but snaps back in line if the throttle is held, scared me at first coming from an RDX. When I swapped the summers to ultra high performance all season, the full throttle turns in the TLX is more like my 22 RDX. One thing to note the transmission gearing is different in the RDX vs TLX. Si that could be it.
So a HUD is standard on the Type S for 2024, no option for pre-refresh? I don't mind the 2021-2023's but the no HUD apparently is somewhat of a nitpick for me.
8:20 LOL ive never driven the Integra but i had an ILX Aspec before it switched over to the new name and platform. I have to say that car pissed me off so much. I was always angry in the sense that the car goaded me to be bad and then left me wanting for quite a bit more. I equate that to the cars ability to handle more speed and power than it has to give. You wanna ring its neck and slap it! Then it laughs at you for not giving you the power you needed to thread the needle. 🤬 Infuriating!
Integra Typs S front for days better than Civic Type R and the TLX. The side profile you love so much about your TLX is almost verbatim with the Type S.
It just needs to be a lift back, the problem with the integra type S and a spec is there are way to many cheap civic parts, I can’t decide between the TLX and INT due to this issue, but if the TLX was lift back everyone would pick it over 330, a5 etc
I've owned a 2005 TL and a 2014 TL-AWD and was in the market for a 2024 Type S, but could not find one in the STATE. I said goodbye to Acura and my search lead me to a Lexus IS500 in Infrared. What a car! Thank you Lexus for keeping the V8. Goodbye Acura. Guess what. Not everyone wants an SUV.
It would have been perfect and a mile better than the Integra if the power had increased by 20 to 25 ponies. At least to make it more competitive with a Merc C43 AMG, the BMW M340i and the Audi S4.
@@t-lawsfitness6044I'm here to tell you that you couldn't be more wrong. The TLX Type S blows the doors off the Integra Type S, both off the line and in a roll race.
Check out the Edmunds u drag, TLX type s vs Integra type s. The TLX wins. The 2024 can actually pull a G on the skid pad in testing. The TLX would be fantastic if they could find a way to drop 200 lbs and retune the transmission a bit.
I wish this had a manual. And the integra had the sunroof better seats and way better more luxury interior. And awd iption but with manual. Then it would not be overpriced
Idk man the giddiness/excitement u showed with the “NFS Underground” Integra was not replicated here. Keep it a buck that Teggy was more engaging/satisfying and if u disagree then that means u just don’t wanna drive stick 🤷🏾♂️. I drive my kid to school all the time in a Type S and it’s a dream. No one wants a 4200 lb family car that’s slower/less engaging than the automatic competition. But what do I know 😊
Driving Empty* streets at night is way more fun in the teggy. Driving in everyday traffic is more fun in the TLX and that's 99 % of my driving. If I had good twisty roads in FL then Integra would've been my pick. 🥂
@@KK-tt6uithat’s what I did. Had 3 BMWs before and didn’t wanna deal with reliability issues anymore, bought a TLX type S, with low miles for 43k$ 🤷🏻♂️
I don't understand why so many cars have awful UI. That is the part of the car that you have to interact with the most, and they just do such silly things that make it worse.
I love the way looks. If only it had a traditional handle shifter instead of the button shifters.
Also, congrats on the new little guy Kirk!!!

It just needs more power… That’s all it needs.
Idk man the giddiness/excitement u showed with the “NFS Underground” Integra was not replicated here.
Keep it a buck that Teggy was more engaging/satisfying and if u disagree then that means u just don’t wanna drive stick 🤷🏾♂️. I drive my kid to school all the time in a Type S and it’s a dream. No one wants a 4200 lb family car that’s slower/less engaging than the automatic competition.
But what do I know 😊
Driving Empty* streets at night is way more fun in the teggy. Driving in everyday traffic is more fun in the TLX and that's 99 % of my driving. If I had good twisty roads in FL then Integra would've been my pick. 🥂
@@KirkKreifels I can dig it 🍻
🍼Welcome Baby Abram..🍼 Kirk, congratulations. Have you heard about Changan? I've seen a few here in Houston, and thought it was from Acura..emblem
Thanks!
Not yet on changan
Does the puddle lights work on this one?
There are greeting lights on the side mirrors, not puddle lamps on this model
This thing is hot!
Have to go m340i for that price
Way better engine and transmission on the bimmer
@@KirkKreifels I like the car and all but would wait to buy it used
It's been out for like 5 years now... lmao@@KK-tt6ui
@@Striker50_ right, I was referring to the latest refresh
@@KK-tt6uithat’s what I did. Had 3 BMWs before and didn’t wanna deal with reliability issues anymore, bought a TLX type S, with low miles for 43k$ 🤷🏻♂️
I don't understand why so many cars have awful UI. That is the part of the car that you have to interact with the most, and they just do such silly things that make it worse.
Imagine in Pearl white paint
Needs +100 hp and a luxury interior.😂
Beautiful baby god bless your family. But Acura needs more power 😮
Yes I agree. 400hp would be great
