Used 2018 Acura TLX 3.5L Technology

The TLX offers so much of what's great about an R Accord--though not the full. The lowest price of the vehicle. The 8-speed DCT, which was one of the big draws for me, helps a lot. But they also improved all other aspects of the driving experience. The safety tech is there, but not obtrusive. The materials are all nice and put together. Those looking for the kind of "no" in the cabin that a current Mercedes has or a Jaguar has will not find it here. Those who appreciate understated, basic quality and what you need where you need it (quality perforated leather, quality pleather, soft-touch plastics) will be happy. The fake wood looks good, and there is real aluminum trimming the upper center stack. NVH is seriously suppressed; my wife and I think the car compares neck-and-neck to our 2014 Lexus GX460 Luxury in that department. Fuel economy is going to be a big plus with this for commuting and short road trips, but putting in Sport or Sport Plus is also a nice option for having some fun.
