Good sound system. Bose surround system.
It still runs like brand new. No major problems, all exterior damage. Barely used because do not really drive often. Might just need oil change and maybe a new radio. Blue in color advanced rims. Bose sound system 5 disc changer. Back seat and trunk hardly used.

It has a lot of space and it has a lot of seats. It fits my family of 7 perfectly. Then it converts to even more space for groceries and stuff.
I like the space in the vehicle. The seats being able to let down and add more space is a plus. I dislike that the lights continue to stay on if I forget to lock the doors, then my battery dies.

2015 Acura tlx v6 tech. Outstanding car.
The Acura tlx is in my opinion the perfect car. It is truly everything you need. With only a v6 4 cylinder engine- you still will not believe how fast and agile this car is. Not to mention the interior is perfectly designed. With dual power front seats as well as the seats being heated and leather, you cannot go wrong there. Also a big bonus with almost any Acura will be the audio system. If you really want to enjoy music while driving- get this car.

Acura tlx is a great sedan.
The Acura tlx + with the six cylinder and she-AWD is a great sedan. It provides great performance with the six cylinder. I also like the she-AWD which performs well in snow or icy roads. The interior is very nice with ventilated leather seats. My only complaint is that some of controls are not easily used without taking your eye off the road.

One of the important things others should know about my car is that I have a keyless ignition system and I also have an alarm system built inside my car.
I love my vehicle so much because it is my first car and I got it on my own. One of the things I can say that I don't like about is that it don't last with gas, but overall it is awesome. I really love that my seats warm up and I have a backup camera. As long as it gets me two and from then I can't complain.

While the initial price is expensive, it shouldn't prevent you from looking into buying this car. It is sleek, advanced, has many safety and technology features and looks great.
I like this Acura, the only thing that held me aback at first was the overall price. But so far it has been a good car, it looks very sleek/stylish, has a lot of advanced features, rides very well, has not had many mechanical issues.

I have a white 2015 Acura tlx and it is so great!
It runs very smoothly and is the perfect size! I take on long trips and put s good out of miles in it and it still runs like the day I got it! I have had absolutely no problems with and will no doubt be keeping it for a couple more years, because it is great!
accountCircle Melinda M
It is sporty but not overpowering. It gets excellent gas mileage.
Excellent gas mileage. Fits me. Love my car. There really is nothing i do not like about the tlx. If i were to purchase another car today it would be the same car.

It has amazing leather seats with seat warmers and easy to use technology.
Glitches with technical issues with electronics in the car. All occurring after one year of owning it. I do not understand why navigation will not work and it sometimes will not allow me to drive, like my ignition is not working but has been seen by many mechanics who say there is nothing wrong.
accountCircle Erica Y
TX is a sporty vehicle that is plagued with transmission & mechanical issues.
The 2015 Acura tsx is plagued with transmission and electrical issues. It also suffers from frequent battery drain. Tires and brakes installed from factory are not quality. Acura/American Honda refuse to stand behind their product. In addition to the mechanical issues with the vehicle there are flaws in the paint.
accountCircle Shar R
Don't buy the 2015 TLX. You can do better. Try another brand.
This Acura is the worst if the 3 I've had. Nothing works well.
accountCircle Fellow K
My car sucks but at least I got something to take me places.
The vehicle I got do not have air conditioner so I have to roll the window down, also it does not locks and when I am at the store or something I cannot lock it and it is scary because someone can come in my car and steal. That about all that is wrong with my car everything else is great but I am definitely getting a new car.
accountCircle Megan B
My vehicle is trash, slow, and the only thing I like is the touch screen
Brakes go out, bad gas mileage, leather interior, not reliable. I need a car I can depend on and this one isn't it because the alternator constantly goes out. The gas mileage is awful and costs me $40 to fill up my tank every 3 days. It is not reliable and is too expensive to drive around.
accountCircle Frank M
Too Much Technology - Needs Simplification and a Spare Tire!
Too much technology, to the point that I have to take my eyes off the road to do simple things like changing the fan speed of the AC (wading through menus). No spare tire, are you kidding? Brakes squeal. Not what Acuras used to be, I will not buy another one.
accountCircle William C
Not fun to drive and slow in acceleration
Like: reliability Dislike: acceleration, size, front wheel drive based awd system
accountCircle denise E
Acura can (or should) do better!
Just too old. Technology is way behind. It is a little jumpy when taking off - and not in a good way. But no dealers close to me to take a look. Closet one is 3 hours away. I Doesn't even come with a spare tire! And I hate the automatic seats. I have to drop into the car!

It is a beautiful white car.
My car is very reliable. From 30k miles, all I have done was oil changes. It did need a engine and transmission software update. I also change the transmission fluid and it is been driving like a dream. I changed the suspensions to adjustable coilovers, cornering and responsiveness improved but lack comfort. Very reliable car.
accountCircle Elizabeth N on June 23, 2021
It is a fast sports car that is run like a computer.
Too much maintenance and computer system problems. It is very expensive to fix. If you hit a bump the computer system messes up inside. I love that it is smooth driving. The seats warm up. The features are awesome. It tells you when you need an oil change and let’s you know any problems that are within the car.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Moriah D.

There is enough space for my family. The car is nice to look at. I like the way it drives. The cruise control is easy to use and very great feature. There is enough space for 2 car seats and a booster seat for my 3 children.

likeFilled Jennifer C.

Great on gas, comfortable. Very basic but feels and rides very luxurious. Lots of great small features that most cars do not have including backup camera, moving side mirrors when car is in reverse, tire pressure monitor when filling tire (etc).

likeFilled Suzannah P.

The color, tech stuff available idk too much about cars but the more cool stuff the better. Having interior mood lights is cool... Plenty of stuff for people in the back seats too. Charging station, air conditioning and the like.

likeFilled Larry C.

I liked the strong start from a standing still and very much liked the great handling in driving it. A couple failed recently: the Bluetooth and front right passenger auto window door features stopped working after less than 5 years.

likeFilled Marie L.

Very little road noise, comfortable seats, gas saver, smooth ride, accelerates quickly, has backup camera, bright led lights, great sound system, easy to steer power steering, spacious, lots of power options, heated seats, dual climate a/c.

likeFilled Cheryl A.

Runs great. Keeps it is value. Looks great. Low maintenance. Great color. Comfortable interior. Seats 5. Roomy trunk space. Attractive interior. Comfortable ride. Effortless driving. Dealer close for maintenance. Happy driver.

likeFilled Lola S.

I think my vehicle looks good interior and exterior wise. Also driving it is fine as well. I also believe that it is a reliable car and it is not that expensive when it comes to certain repairs or taxes. It was an affordable car.

likeFilled Kelsi D.

Durable, long lasting and rarely any mechanical issues. It gets great gas mileage. Also has Sirius XM radio. Comes with a sunroof also. The interior is very nice and sleek. Mine is a nice maroon color that shines beautifully worn the sun is out bring and hinting it.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Moriah D.

It is a gas guzzler. I feel as though I am always putting gas in it. With the way gas prices are going up it is costing too much to fund putting gas in the car. Other than that I have no cons with my vehicle.

dislikeFilled Jennifer C.

Cons include older radio system with no Apple CarPlay which may be fine with some people who do not use iPhones. Front wheel drive is a con because when it snows it can be an issue. Leather interior may get stained or scratched rather easily.

dislikeFilled Suzannah P.

No cons. It is the best car in the whole wide world. It's so cool that I cannot believe my eyes. It is got everything I ever needed and wanted. Minus the mood lights but I guess I could always get those installed.

dislikeFilled Larry C.

Again the Bluetooth and right front passenger auto window door features both failed in less than 5 years. These two failures demonstrated very poor and unacceptable quality and service. Plus the top of the dash panel just started to crack.

dislikeFilled Marie L.

The car is very expensive so are parts and labor, it takes premium fuel which can be very expensive, the car is computerized and sometimes acceleration can be jerky when taking off from a complete stop.

dislikeFilled Cheryl A.

There are no cons to this car. I have been driving it since 2015 and I have only had to keep up the maintenance. There have been no major repairs. Oil change, tires, wiper blades, have been the only things that I have had to have seen to since my vehicle was purchased. I have nothing bad to say about my car.

dislikeFilled Lola S.

Although the car is affordable and looks great it is suspension is hard to control and most of the time it does not feel right. Sometimes I get bothered by Acura's controls; compared to other cars it is not as nice unfortunately.

dislikeFilled Kelsi D.

They're really are not any. I highly recommend this vehicle. The only con I have is the headlights. They're dim. The high beams sometimes seem like low beams. And that's about it. It's a great vehicle and you would be a fool not to consider purchasing one.
