I thought this was a V6 until I looked at the description... Debatably one of *the* best sounding 4cyl of the last 10 years.

[HAA]

This is the most V6 sounding 4 cylinder out there

[noneofyourbuisness]

Kudos to Acura for sticking to analogue gauges on this model. Not everyone wants everything to be a screen in their car.

[mindspinn]

The gauges remind me of the original RSX.

[cesarreynoso]

Sounds pretty good for being a 2.0. Acura nailed this new TLX👍🏼

[gabeevans]

I have never liked modern Acuras until this car came out. They killed it!

[gbonze]

This interior is absolutely beautiful well Done Acura

[musicanoofficial]

Can’t wait till spring! Waiting for the Type-S 🔥🔥

[erenhidiroglu]

I never seen an acura like this before... just amazing❤❤❤

[rjhowtos]

the sound effects when you make chnages on the display is amazing, makes more of an experience.

[Dman]

Best sounding 4 cylinder in production today!

[ElSikario]

The interior looks so good specially in red and the exterior looks amazing in every color!!

[anfahrt]

What a perfect car. I wish this car also came to Europe under the Accord badge.
This is exactly the car Honda needs to have in Europe!

[simaknaveedakther]

This is the best japanese car I've ever saw in my life good job acura

[ROLLINGFANATICS]

Wow the turbo nosies inside ! I used to love the way the 2019 RDX sounded, I can only imagine this

[jbm]

Is it possible I'm excited about an Acura for the first time in more than 15 years? Yes, it is. Kudos to Honda for either firing the design team who did the Civic or keeping them far away from the TLX. I love the design of this car inside and out, but the wide rear haunches definitely need wheels and tires to match.

European sports sedan style and performance, Japanese pricetag and reliability. Perfect

[badpork]

Can’t wait for the 6 cylinder to come out!

[Allcarnews]

I’ve also heard for SH-AWD to work really good in turns is to be a bit on throttle for the torque vectoring to do it’s magic

[Sharkven]

You should do a night drive POV with this car (ambient lighting)!!!!

[ms]

Such a fun and nice car! People will always have something to complain about...
