The car is dependable and well-made. An interesting detail is the heated seats.
Problems - at times, the gears can be changed without much warning, which can be confusing. Performance - powerful acceleration, great steering. Reliability - the car has never given us many problems. So far, so good. Comfort - the seating inside is spacious, and the heated seats are a nice touch, especially during the winter. Features - our car comes with a nice navigation system. It is pretty intuitive and has never presented us with many problems.

Best car on the market with no complaints.
The comfort is excellent and performance! No issues at all and no complaints. This car is the best car I have ever leased!! I would tell all my family and friends to definitely get this car! The technology in this car is excellent and up to date. My next car after this lease is up will be another tlx.

Acura tlx sporty and reliable.
Vehicle has been great, I have had no problems. The car is sporty, and the extras like phone charger, apple support, seat heating and cooling, and nav are great. The interior is sleek and the chairs are comfortable. The car handles well, does great in bad weather, and has great visibility.

Tlx is a great lease value.
The els audio system is phenomenal. The best sound quality in its price range. I actually leased the car because of the sound system and it does not disappoint. In addition, the comfort, ride quality, and safety features make the tlx an outstanding lease value.

Acura tlx: the perfect car?
I love my car! I usually use it on the normal gas economy setting and it runs fine. There is a slight delay when pressing the pedal before acceleration begins, but besides that I have literally zero complaints about it. It is a great car. The seats are comfortable even on long road trips!

My car is a red leather interior and it drives smoothly.
So far I never had a problem with it and I already have it for year. It drives very smoothly and I really like it when I put it in sport so, it can go faster. In my opinion, I think the Acura cars are awesome cars and I think they should make both side mirrors to fold automatically when you turn off the engine.

I love the technology of the vehicle.
I just bought it, brand new so no problems to report as of yet. But so far I really love the performance of the vehicle.
accountCircle Ryan D
My favorite car that I have ever owned.
Really smooth ride with great handling. The interior is nice with the red and black leather. The voice navigation is not very good or responsive. The all wheel drive is very nice to have in Colorado and the v6 is great. The gas mileage is very good even when in sport mode.

Just got a 2020 TLX lease and have had problems starting the vehicle. Dealer can’t find problem.

The blue Acura I will never own.
It's blue with black seating. It has decent gas mileage and I commute 45 minute to work each day. I can typically fill the gas tank with $30 and it last me the week. Great air conditioning and the built in sound system sounds great. It also has room for a lot of customization.

The best part about my vehicle is the option to use apple carplay
The leather seat package is the best part of the car. I got heated seats and heated steering wheel which is great for the winter. I got a sunroof for the summer which is great. The seats are comfortable. Not a lot of space in the backseat but roomier in the front seats. Apple carplay is the best part about the car. Although sometimes it is flaky and does not work. The screen will shut off or Spotify won't play but typically I will turn the car off then back on and it fixes it. You don't need to buy navigation because you can use google maps or iPhone maps to navigate when hooked to through apple carplay.

Is The 2019 Acura TLX A Good Car?

Yes, it is a very comfortable car. I love the way it looks and drives. However, it does not come with a spare tire, and that has been a big issue for me.

How Reliable Is The 2019 Acura TLX?

So far, it is reliable. I do not feel like the tires are that good. And once again, does not come with a spare, only a blow up kit.
Kelly F.
It is a very reliable car, it does not have to be refueled as often as other cars do, and it can go farther on less fuel.
Mona L.
It is extremely reliable, I haven't had any problems with it thus far. Everything works normally as it should.
Andy L.
So far it has been reliable to me. I just made this purchase this month. I'm loving everything about it so far.
Darcy S.
It is very reliable. This is my second to purchase and I have had no issues with either one whatsoever.
Sally S.

Is The 2019 Acura TLX A Good Value?

I pay 385 a month for three years. I think it is a little high. I really love the look to it. A lot of friends like it.
Kelly F.
Well I paid at least 50,000 for the car. It was 10% off at a dealership I went to, but it is a very good deal for the price of the car.
Mona L.
We negotiated and got the car for a great price and value with the features that we requested. It was a good value.
Andy L.
The Acura TLX technology package (which is what I have) cost about $44,000. I think the price is a good value for a brand new car with some much technology and numerous safety features .
Page S.
It is pretty standard for a 'luxury' vehicle. I would say it could be a better value. The price seems high like I could purchase something a little more high end for what I pay for the Acura.
