To be fair, the A-Spec is more in line with the 330i M Sport. As the owner of the 21 A-Spec, I regard consideration of upgrading to the 24 A-Spec in the same way I considered moving from my iPhone 14 Pro to the 15 Pro: just not enough of an update to warrant moving to a newer version.

MEN I JUST LOVE YOUR REVIEWS! You have your own unique style, it’s amazing and I really enjoy watching ur videos!

[ATCCPO]

Very helpful review!! Looking at this car next...

[chrisholmes]

Sam, great video once again! So many driving angles. You've done a fabulous job capturing the complete essence of the TLX along with a recent upgrades for 2024. Nice safe, sporty reliable vehicle. This car looks, drives and feels amazing. Only obvious draw back is the rear seat leg room. Love how this thing tracks with the double wishbone front suspension and the Super Handling All Wheel Drive.

How do you feel this vehicle ranks against it's direct competitors?

Thanks for sharing - terrific review as we've come to expect each and every time.

I enjoyed the 23 loaner I had over my integra, but the backseat space killed my dream of owning one. Let’s see if they correct it next gen.

Awesome car and far better than given credit for as it's not a BMW, or audi or Lexus or Hyundai. Honda products owners understand this product and are looking for vehicles that does various things very good and reliable and top safety, over others. It's best American made vehicles.

My favorite part about this gen TLX is the suspension!

[realmack]

It looks better than the CPO 2023 A-Spec SH-AWD I got 3 months ago, love the digital dash, the sound deadening would be nice but the 23 isn’t noisy inside. I paid about $5k less though. That’s enough to cover fuel for the next 3 years.

I really like the '24 Acura TLX A-Spec. My problem is that I don't quite love it. There are just too many compromises. The rear seat room is lacking to say the least. The fuel economy is average at best. The fact that no 4 cylinder TLX model offers an HUD or rain sensing wipers is a let down. The Type S does offer those features at a significantly higher entry price yet the gas mileage on the Type S is downright horrendous. And why is it that no version of the TLX offers heated rear seats? I get rain sensing wipers, HUD and heated rear seats on my '21 Accord Touring 2.0T, which happens to be faster than the 4 cylinder TLX simply because the TLX is so heavy, at almost 500lbs heavier than my Accord. However, the TLX is gorgeous to me. I love the styling and I love the color combination of the one featured in this video. I wish Acura had not done away with the Advance, (Elite in Canada), trim package. I may end up buying one anyway once it's time for me to replace my Accord but not anytime in the near future. If Honda hadn't discontinued the 2.0T option in the Accord, the TLX wouldn't even be on my radar but the 204hp hybrid engine in the Accord isn't going to cut it for me. Really like this TLX A-Spec, just don't totally love it.

I purchased the 2024 in same color but charcoal interior. I preferred the red/black Alcantara as shown but this one was the only TLX on the lot and prior to it's arrival at the dealership, they had and sold the only one on the lot and housed in the showroom: a pearl white one with the interior shown here. Searching for another one seamed nearly pointless. And trying to find a Type S presented as nearly impossible. The two dealerships in Michigan that I frequent, never have them on the lot. Only the Integra. But I'm okay with my interior. My 2019 is a red A-SPEC A-SR SH-AWD and my wife's 2022 black ILX A-SPEC has the red and black Alcantara interior.
Anytime you have updates, you're to make some people upset and make others happy. I preferred the true analog gauges of the 2023 but the exhaust finishers and larger center console screen of the 2024. Another reason that I sort of rushed to get the 2024. The 2025 has a touch screen instead of a track pad control screen. And as much as I don't like it but know how to operate it, I absolutely despise a touch screen! You have to continuously clean them if you want to maintain that showroom gleam. Also, I won't tear up (right) my rotator cuff trying to newly program it to my likings. The touch screen set up, of which is borrowed from the Honda parts bin, is too generic. They only did it because of the multitude of loyalists complaints of the track pad's learning curve. It's too bad they couldn't have made it like BMW's i-Drive center console knob control or brought back the large center control knob like the one I had in my 2010 TL SH-AWD 6MT. (Overall, it was the best ever Acura ever built!)

Beautiful car love everything exterior and interior, only flaw it’s too underpowered for the weight but overall a good competitor

[marvelous]

Literally last week i got my 23’ Acura TLX A-spec stolen from in front of my house over night smfh. I only had that beautiful car for a course of 6 months. Prior to this video I wasn’t aware of the ‘24 model being already up for sale! I’m considering getting the same vehicle again but idk i might go back to the ‘23 model the exterior on the ‘23 looks much more intriguing from the grill to the wheels. I must add there was a lot of things on the TLX that also is making me reconsider. I only had managed to get 16 MPG city on my TLX & to be honest due to the fact it was a 4 CYL it sucked! Add the fact they take 93 only. This color is super nice! I might have to see it in person in order to consider it a little more! Definitely going to get one again that’s for sure. And for all you Acura owners i highly recommend you to get an anti theft device for these beautiful vehicles if they’re not being parked in a garage or secure driveways. Acuralink is going on 7 days trying to locate my vehicle and still no luck!!! I’ve already came to the conclusion is gone!! Thank you for the review buddy!!

This is not a small car. Why is my moms Carolla have significantly more rear leg room ?

[wavesofkatrina]

They just need to add the panoramic roof for this and the Type S

[selvarajsubrammanian]

Really like this vedio even though it's 18+ minutes

[YuGiOhDuelChannel]

Blown away they would in any wild dream not give you a touch screen but a trackpad, insane they did that....smh unreal, such a beautiful car with such a easy flaw to fix....beyond frustrating

[mastafa]

Sam how would you compare the Acura TLX A-spec to the Lexus IS F Sport. 😮

[xorbitman]

I'm seeing to many cars in this "color" it reminds me of primer. Black, silver, red, blue, anything but this color.

[brolyvi]

I prefer the hdmi exhaust tip for 2023 😊

[frankie.d]

Does the US version have power folding mirrors as seen in the start of this??
