Driving Experience
Includes acceleration and handling
What Owners Say
"Acceleration and handling are exceptional with one issue. There is a hesitation in the 9 speed transmission if you slow to stop but then resume too quickly. Same issue with my 2013 Avalon but it was considerably more exaggerated."
Ken F., IN (2018 Acura TLX)"The A-Spec package includes more performance oriented tires, which improves handling and driving experience."
Anonymous, NJ (2018 Acura TLX)"The 4 (my first) is not adequate in some situations. I am very disappointed with the mileage. I do not like the adaptive cruise control. I do better on my own. Automatic emergency braking can be dangerous. It does not take in all of the information that I am dealing with."
Anonymous, CA (2018 Acura TLX)"Great acceleration handling."
Ann-Jack P., SC (2018 Acura TLX)"Fantastic response om acceleration for a 4-cylinder, and great gas mileage."
Edward S., NY (2018 Acura TLX)"Great excelleration and handling. We have had a problem with the engine sputtering in in traffic. The sensor senses a car and decelerates."
Mark G., NV (2018 Acura TLX)"Six cylinder trans still a bit clunky but not too bad. Handles well and is sporty enough to be enjoyable. Lack of spare tire is outrageous and turns a flat into a major malfunction. Almost a dealbreaker."
Thomas B., AL (2018 Acura TLX)"The car seems to wobble as you edge toward the left."
Anonymous, UT (2018 Acura TLX)"Extremely responsive acceleration and excellent all AWD road handling"
Anonymous, ON (2018 Acura TLX)"Acceleration is impressive for a 4 cylinder. Dynamic driving modes (econ, normal, sport) are actually very useful. I feel more in touch with the road relative to the majority of sedans in this price range."
Anonymous, PA (2018 Acura TLX)"For a V6 engine, it does not have immediate pick-up which I had in the two previous Acura TL’s I owned."
Anonymous, NY (2018 Acura TLX)"Responsive handling, intuitive and safe."
Anonymous, NY (2018 Acura TLX)"9 speed transmission is much improved over the 2015 model. Shift is much smoother."
Anonymous, TX (2018 Acura TLX)"I have had 5 different TL and TLX models. They each have driven better than the last. Great acceleration."
Anonymous, TX (2018 Acura TLX)"see my previous answer. I can not understand why you rate this vehicle so poor. It is a dream to drive."
