Crazy that Canada doesn't get a HUD still. We get the heated steerig wheel though but you can add that as an optional accessory in the states. But you can't add a hud later.
Acura did not disappoint on this model/year that's for sure. Still set and waiting for that Toyota Crown Signia (thinking about test driving one already) then comparing with your review, really appreciate all that you do.
To all the people complain about the price of this car, the average price of a new car in 2024 was $48,000. All cars have gone up dramatically in price with all of the freaking equipment whiny Americans demand. Go to the car show and look at every single vehicle there and you will see what cars cost now. This car is a hell of a bargain! That doesn’t mean I can afford it, but I can still analyze facts!
@ktmccarthy33 Yeah people seem to ignore vehicle class and size as well. Like a genesis G70 is fairly similar, hair smaller, has a little better acceleration and they are priced very similarly. I think it's priced right considering performance, and class/size.
Your observations are spot on. I have a 2024 TLX Type S and I find it to be an amazing truly “elegant “ drivers car. I’ve owned a Nissan 280Z and a Corvette. This car is hands down a more fun car to drive and an incredibly beautiful car. I think Acura built far too few Type S versions and way too many base Technology versions.
@ohsnapzitzmeng i haven't driven an M340i so I can't give much input. I only speak to what I have hands on experience with. Most people give opinions without experience haha 😄
@BB2001hjk depends what you are looking for i guess? Easily one of the best driving multi use vehicles. The suspension from sport to comfort is drastically different. And the handling, car feels very good despite being on the heavy side. My NSX is heavy for a supercar yet has better handling then most supercars, that's not my opinion, that's watching professionals track them. This car could use a few extra ponies but wouldn't take much in the aftermarket world and I was pretty satisfied the way it was after driving it
@@TheCarReviewGuys then you couple it with the largest exterior and smallest interior in class. No pano roof. Brakes don’t hold up at all on the track. It’s not cheaper. Thus acura missed the mark once again. Looks nice though and a loyal honda person would be fine with it.
@@v12kingV10 bro you must secretly like the type s if you voluntarily find tlx type s videos just to roast it. This is like review #3 i've seen you on.
Part of the Honda family, yes. But it was built on its own platform and not an upgraded Accord anymore. This platform was built ground up with the Type-s in mind. It's a great car, but it needs a diet or more power.
@@ozzstars_carsIt should have more horsepower and better handling but it makes way more sense to buy a reliable luxury car if you’re buying anything for 60k
I don’t understand Acura for that amount of money they couldn’t update the entertainment panel to touchscreen although they did on the MDX that’s ridiculous
@ernielazcano4783 @jbonvideo especially if it's going to be your daily. Bought an Acura with the touchpad recently and been 8 months and not a fan of it.
Touchscreens in cars are a terrible idea. Reaching out to play on a screen with one arm and hand while driving with another hand is far more dangerous than toggling non-touch controls placed in more user-friendly locations. It’s basically playing with your phone all over again.
@@BPR-IronCurtainto be fair tho, if Acura made it capable for tuning (as it gets older tuning gets easier) without too many major modifications then it is a total win in a coup years. I read somewhere that Manufacturers pay more in fees or dues pending on cars’ power/emissions/safety to performance sorta deals so cheaper than giving us all the 400hp. At least I hope the information I’m spewing is right🤣 would love to see aftermarket kick up just like how P2R saved J series and then Gerzybear supercharger kits saved the 4G and 3G TL’s
@@christiansincich7226 is it not great for tuning currently? I'd love to get some easy reliable power out of one. At this point it might be better to B58 swap it lol

@YERAFirearms to each their own. I've driven plenty of EV vehicles including tesla. Not what I would pick at all. Instant torque is cool. Past that, not much to offer.

2:37 it’s not a twin turbo
@@Sleepyboiwonder correct - its single Turbo - mis spoke reading notes - my nsx is twin turbo. I use the same format for car info every week and delete previous car and input the new one... I must've accidentally had TT instead of spelling out Turbo 😅
It is a twin scroll turbo though - which is kinda the best of both worlds.
My favourite looking sedan right now. Love seeing the jewel eye headlights on at night.
That's a good-looking sedan. She is $60k now so not cheap! But, getting one-second hand after some depreciation would make a killer daily.
Why'd you try to fist my future car 😆😆 Great review, I ordered that exacts setup over a month ago and can not wait!!
@@ernieparker4309 😂 it's got big tips 🤣 congrats on the new ride. You'll like it!
@@TheCarReviewGuys 🤣🤣 that it does! Thx man I haven’t been this excited about a car ever. Keep up the great reviews!
I think if they did the front & rear trunk Acura emblem in bronze, would really bring it out even more

@FurrKnight I'd definitely recommend test driving one, if it's anything like the crown you'll like it I'm sure. Appreciate you always watching 🙏

How’s the transmission on the car? I’ve heard bad things about it.
@Tommy-cr7pp I thought it was fine - smooth and it found gears without issue. What issues are you hearing?
@@TheCarReviewGuys I just keep hearing about how it breaks down easily, people say around 25k miles
Gorgeous car
slowest in class, heaviest in class, worst mpg in class
It’s also a single turbo with only 355hp

Who cares about that most of us care about the HP and Torque it has its very low for a 4200Lbs car
@@jbonvideo I care, it’s my money I’d be throwing at it. It’s suppose to be a luxury sedan. Most luxury sedans have touchscreens if not all.
@ernielazcano4783 @jbonvideo especially if it's going to be your daily. Bought an Acura with the touchpad recently and been 8 months and not a fan of it.
I'm good with the touch pad, personally. I hate fingerprints on touchscreens.

That thing is BEAUTIFUL. If they stop making them like it is reported then they produced the perfect one for the finale.
Naw. The perfect one wouldn't weigh 4200 pounds with a measley 355hp.
