    This is the best looking car in the class imo, absolutely gorgeous. Could use some more power on type s trims and maybe a digital cluster.

    Why does so many ppl downplay the TLX because of its horsepower? I always thought luxury cars were more about longevity and a very smooth ride rather than bolting down highways like a Hellcat

      They only disappointed because it’s not fast enough to beat out most of the other competitors in the segment. This car is meant to be a fun daily driver that’s performance oriented with a luxury focus.
      If you wanna be the fastest car on the street you’ll need to look at M340i or go balls-to-wall and get a M3 Competition

    Not sure it compares as well to the Lexus ES 350. While better on power and performance features, it falls behind on interior cabin quality and infotainment features. I like the TLX exterior over the ES, but for old guys like me, the ES 350 seems to be the better overall package for the features I am looking for. Will have to check out both on the road to confirm my assumptions, of course.

    • @tomfaz4193
      @tomfaz4193 Před rokem

      No because the 19 inch rims will easily bend when hitting a pothole because there is little rubber between the road and rims. Also they wear worse than conventional tires. I would consider buying one if they didn’t have those tires.

    Honda makes a descent AWD system with SH-AWD. Never understood why they generally reserve it for Acura only. An Accord and Civic even with SH-AWD lite would be nice. Even the Prius, Corolla and Camry can be had with AWD.
