I love it when you can tell someone really knows what the hell they are talking about. There are plenty are RUclips car reviewer who can't even identify a drain plug.
I like the TFL guys, but Paul is a great addition and honestly better for this review. On the car note, I have waited years for this. So excited to see the return of the Type S!
Thank you TFL for having Paul do this review. I typically love all your content and the entire team is excellent. Paul's style really breaks down the intricate details that us gear heads crave, A+!
Two things: 1.) Paul is a fantastic automotive reviewer. He should have his own channel "The Stig" with 1m subs. 2.) The TLX Type S is an absolutely gorgeous sedan from pretty much every angle, especially the front and rear end. They did a great job of capturing that in this video.
but in the interest of surviving journalistic abuse on a road course, those on-track TLXs were fitted with track-oriented pads that Acura promises to recommend to interested customers. Car & Driver
Great review and an especially good "canoe" metaphor to explain the difference the torque vectoring of SW-AWD vs brake based AWD systems. The big news this morning is the F-150 Lightning but the TLX Type S deserves some attention. It's an outstanding effort from Acura.
But when driven back to back with a showroom-fresh Audi S4 that Acura brought out for a Pepsi challenge, the Audi's suspension isolation and structure felt just a little more buttoned up. Car & Driver

TFL, reviewers like Paul keeps pulling me back to TFL. Paul truly understands vehicle dynamics, is an auto enthusiast and a great reviewer. Best review on the Type S so far :)
Really impressed with Paul’s style - one of the few sedans where it’s fine to be over styled - it has character without looking ugly (the rear end is my only gripe). I’d chose this over an IS500 F without thinking a second time.
I think this will be my next car purchase and soon I hope. I figure that the nearly $10,000 saved over the comparable competition will buy the first 45,000 miles worth of gas. Friends have purchased German competitors in the past and have paid dearly in maintenance costs. Acura has a reputation for very good reliability. The TLX is a very good looking car that will fit into my conservative life style. I am old enough to think that this is likely to be the last car I buy and it might as well be a nice one.
Not just because Im a 25 year Honda/Acura customer, but this is one of the best reviews I've seen in a long time along with a British car review of Honda e and of course Chris Harris. This reminds me of real television car reviews of like motoring TV, motorweek, etc because you review the car and talk just about the car highs and lows, it was focused, rather than that guy sofyan if you watch his review of same car.
I thought this review stood out among others on the new TLX Type S. I found Paul's insights on the car as a true enthusiast interesting. I'd like to see more reviews using him. Subscribed just for that!
I'm an automotive technician and a gear head with some real life race experience....and I loved Paul's review and explanation of the car.. best in business i think
Already the Type S, with manual transmission from 2008 was a performer for the price and most people overlooked the overall capability of the car. I would expect nothing less than a revised type S for 2021. SH-AWD, performs well on inclement weather conditions with a lot of Acura cars. I own a 2011 MDX and the torque vectoring along with the outstanding AWD and 300 HP, provide a lot of power to move a large family SUV. I can only imagine 355 HP in the new TL, seems like a good concept to make every day driving fun
Nice review. Unfortunately this car needs at a minimum 50+HP in order to keep up with the KIA and other vehicles that are less expensive in this category. As an Acura owner this is embarrassing for a Type S.
Great review as always, Paul! I’m finally excited about Acura once again because it’s been quite a few years; I was so in love with the original TL & CL Type-S models (saw that beautiful blue CL Type-S in the background) in the early 2000s and glad they’ve resurrected the moniker in a market that’s gradually “watering down” performance models. 🔥
That was a great review! As a racing driver, you've adjust your feedback to a daily driver review with all the "feel points". From the seat to the steering and the modes.👍 That's "everything I wanted to know". Now it's time for my road test, when it will be available.
You forgot to mention the CT5-V has a torque vectoring e-diff. Completely disagree, Audi has some of the best gauge clusters with Google earth, etc. Too bad Acura didn't give the TLX the cluster from the MDX
Great review as always "Stig" I could imagine what a tune and minor add-ons mods will do to this unleashed beast!!! Paul next time bring your exclusive "white racing suit" 😃
Wow this guy really knows his stuff! What a wonderful review! The way he explains the SH-AWD system and torque vectoring system was easy to understand and I finally understand it. 👍🏼 Great video!
Good job Acura wow color me impressed for an Acura finally! And that color/paint wow like a freakin gold bar!it seems like Acura took everything good from all the other cars and threw it in this!
The 3-series is the benchmark in this class, it’s known to be (look at its history) and the interior lighting is called ambient lighting, not led lights
AWD in any form is great.I have a KIA Stinger AWD and it feels just like the Audi a6 that i rent on business trips.Thanks for the clarification on the AWD.Only thing missing on this car is more HP.I would choose this over a CTS-V AWD--or a Q60 AWD--but with my money I chose a Stinger.I had a 50k budget and after my trade I paid 19k for my Stinger--wo I have 30k in the bank--also this was not out last year when i went looking or I might have gotten one or at least gave it a serious look.I had a crosstour and after 10 years the car was in the same condition as when i bought it--every part was tight---no mechanical issues ever--seats look new. So far though my Stinger has also ran flawlessly--buttons are also still tight--i have even gone to public drag night--4.27 to 60 and 12.7 in the quarter with no launch control.I will be in the market in 2024 or 2025--cars in this TT V6 class should be putting out 400 and hopefully faster numbers then my already quick stinger.
Again, congrats on this awesome review... Too many irresponsible car reviews that give people wrong information and impressions of some vehicles especially Honda/Acura products. They are irresponsible with comments that suggest vehicles are not good enough or lacking for them to love it, but have no intent to buy.
Your SHO must have been customized, because they did not come from the factory turbocharged. I had a 1990 SHO with the wonderful (and beautiful to look at) Yamaha-built V6. Some guys did put aftermarket turbos on them. It was such a stout engine that several open wheel Pikes Peak racers used them as recently as a few years ago at the Pikes Peak Hillclimb. .
Interesting how (not STIG) so many folks complain about the 350+ horses in this car but no one complains about the meager power in a golf GTI…ever. To make it worst, no one say the golf r has TOO much power.
So wish they got rid of the silver gauges with red. It’s so hard to see the numbers. I had to pass on the RDX Aspec and go for the digital gauge of the 2022 MDX Aspec.
Awesome review. I am looking at 3 cars in this class (including the Genesis G70 and Lexus IS350 F Sport) and test drove all 3. The Acura feels the most responsive and "quickest". The Lexus feels smooth, but dated inside and definitely slower feeling than the other two. Tough choices, but I like a LOT about the Acura. Thanks for the review! Subscribed.
U really think so? At 53k starting? I feel like there are so many other cars to consider at the price point of the type s. Don’t get me wrong it’s an amazing car n I was just talking to my wife about it but I would definitely have to do some research to make sure this is the Best Buy for the price.
@@justdoinit2378 it actually starts at 52k. Then do your research, but it's definitely a steal in it's segment for what you get ! Excellent tranny, excellent engine ( tunable and reliable ) excellent sound system, excellent awd system and many features!
@@Av3ntur0zky I was just at the dealership getting my oil changed on my 2019 aspec n it starts at 53k. It’s definitely a sweet car but it’s cars like the M6 with 560hp, M3 with 425hp n a few others that will smoke the type s n they are tunable n etc all around the 50-60k price range that makes me question if the type s is really worth the price. Those cars might be 2 years older but they look just as good if not better n are certified preowned!! Low mileage also!! So Idk. Maybe in a 2-3 years when they drop 20k in price they’ll be worth it to me. But who knows I might pick one up. I just don’t know.
@@justdoinit2378 I own a 2020 TLX Aspec and I think it should start at 40k. You could get a Q50 red sport with 400hp for far less. If Acura wanted to charge 50k they should have gave it way more hp.
@@Webhead787 facts facts facts!! Thank you!! I actually meant to include the red sport in my previous comment to the last guy. But yea the q50 or q60 also!! Acura is looking at the nostalgia and charging too much. I could see if this was gonna be the very last type s but it likely won’t. But then again it might simply bcuz it will not sell too well.
Superb review indeed. Although whomever created that chart, outlining the Audi S4? It does not have a DCT(Although the predecessor did). Since 2018 in the US, the B9 Audi S4 comes with a ZF-8 Speed.The other thing is that the Audi S4 does come with a flat bottom steering wheel. The unit you drove, had the heated steering wheel, hence the round steering wheel, and not the standard flat-bottom. Also you mentioned, the seats missing the Alcantara, well that's standard in the Audi. The quilted stitched leather seats are an upgrade. All in all, it's great to review a new vehicle, but it's EQUALLY as important to know your competition.
228 miles?! That thing is on the track and not even through it’s break in period!! I kid, I kid- great review. I, too, am glad to see Acura producing Type-S models again!
@The Fast Lane car Thank you TFL and Paul for an excellent review and Paul is a fantastic reviewer. What a spot on review. I like the the way Paul blends in the technical aspects and explanations and that makes the overall review stand out and more interesting. Almost like sitting in a classroom with Paul. Please have Paul do more reviews. I have been waiting a long time for the TLX-S’s arrival and I plan on buying one later this year. Thank you again and looking forward to the next session of “TFL Reviews with Paul “.
I’m happy to see that Acura made this car at a time when everyone is buying SUV’s. Now we need to see a real comparison test between this, the BMW M340i, M-B C43 AMG, Audi S4, Lexus IS 350 and perhaps the Genesis V70.
My first car I ever bought was the CL Type S because I couldn’t afford the E46 (3 series) optioned the way I wanted. Great performance bargain at the time. I have to say I’m disappointed with this offering. I would’ve preferred they made the instrument cluster all digital and have better fuel economy. Great looking car though.
Sport+ should disable Acurawatch. If you're driving on the track, having Acurawatch on could upset the balance of the car if it auto-brakes at the wrong time.

Good catch. They didn’t bother to do enough research lol
One of these times when the car and the driver make an excellent combination. Pure fun.
This guy is really good explaining how a car drivers, great job
Honda/Acura has been perfecting their 4 wheel steering for decades so I imagine it works great.
SH-AWD is AWD and not AWS. All wheel steering is only available on FWD models like the 15-20 TLX or 14-20 RLX. Or the Prelude back in the 90s.
WOW! Stig talks! I am speechless!
Good thorough review.

It's about time acura catches up to the competition. I had a twin turbo v6 with awd in my Taurus SHO 11 years ago.😅
Your SHO must have been customized, because they did not come from the factory turbocharged. I had a 1990 SHO with the wonderful (and beautiful to look at) Yamaha-built V6.

"had". An 11 year old Ford is in the scrap yard. An 11 year old Honda/Acura is just getting broken in.

Anyone else feel bad Paul had to follow other cars and not pass them? He probably knew the course better than the person driving that nsx
Excellent review. Almost felt like I was watching CNET lol. I will look for more reviews with him featured in it
So wish they got rid of the silver gauges with red. It’s so hard to see the numbers. I had to pass on the RDX Aspec and go for the digital gauge of the 2022 MDX Aspec.
Yea I don’t like them either - look like toys. I prefer the black ones in the normal tlx over these, they look much classier and mature.
They should've made the whole dash digital.

Why does the former STIG have to follow the lead on the track? Matt Farah was exempt and was able to drive it closer to its limit...
Great question. It certainly seemed like Paul was handcuffed having to follow another journalist in the blue TLX...
Really enjoyed this drivers professional thoughts and interpretation of what he is experiencing driving this Type S.
Glad to hear that Acura has changed their power steering. The last TLX I drove had freak’n miserable power steering with zero feel!
Excellent video & nice job Acura with the new turbo V6! I love the SH AWD and that it’s still a highlight in 2021 😀
This dude was gettin it at leguna AND talking like he’s sitting at a table. More of this guy! Also LOL at honda safety sensing telling him to BRAKE.
This sounds like a Acura spokesman/sales pitch.
Everyone: talking about the Acura
Me: Yo I know that track from Forza!
You’ve made me love this tlx type s even more
I agree it’s nice to see a true performance sedan
Those gauges are from a Rsx And one of the reasons why I will buy this car. Best analog gauge from Acura
