2024 Acura TLX Type S Review // Refreshed and REJUDGED

Since i'm early, never EVER remove the scene with James banging his head on the i8

I feel like “a normal car that’s a bit quicker” sums up Type S in one sentence. Great review.

The immovable spanish ship the La Quinta got a hearty belly laugh out of me.

Started working for Honda R&D right around when development for this car was wrapping up. My manager was one of the engineees on it. I think your review is very fair. Its a cool looking car with a nice interior and moderately fast. Won't compete with a BMW or Cadillac on track but will probably be cheaper to own and just as nice to live with daily.

"That was free and the care was sub standard" 😂 yup

I don't even care about cars I'm just here for their intros

21 TLX-S owner here. It’s a great daily with many luxury features. It’s got enough speed to be fun to drive and the SH-AWD makes it feel really exciting in the turns. It would have been nice for Honda to deliver 400+ HP from the factory but let’s face it, they’re a conservative company. I don’t know if there is a perfect car out there but this one gets a B+ in my book.

Ive owned a 2021 TLX for 2 years now. The entertainment system (once learned) is quite nice. Its beautiful inside and out, very comfortable, gets 31mpg at 80mph and is average in acceleration. I have a baby seat in the middle rear and often times put 3 other children in as well, it works but is tight in the back. I love it so much im considering trading for a type s trim in the near future. I know it wont be the fastest but it will be beautiful and reliable

“ Cigarettes and Popsicles”…Lol. You nailed it. Their coffee is horrible.

Thomas has a mall-Santa side-hustle during the holidays 😂

I have been following you guys since the first year, please don’t ever change. I love you guys.

Looks better than any other sport sedan and since I'm not tracking it, seems like a great option

For me these guys are the new Top Gear

Harrison and karston delivered in the intro. And James gave a emotionally gripping letter and outstanding outro

Hi Throttle House, you brought me back to car content. Thanks! Love it.

I know this is the third time you've reviewed the TLX, and you've mentioned it before, but any test of this car's daily livability should absolutely bring up its piss-poor relationship between exterior size (huge) and interior space (miniscule). If you haven't seen one of these in person, it's actually shocking how little room there is in a car with exterior dimensions within an inch of a 5-series.

You’ve exposed yourself, Mr. Thomas! How can a Canadian be “exhausted by apologizing?!” Uuuhuh!! Got you now!

The red-over-silver gauge cluster in the old one was a throwback to previous type S models. The RSX-S had that too.

More Thomas and James solo adventures! it was seriously fun to watch and super relaxing right after work!

I own the regular TLX and everything described here is exactly why I chose the car over the competition. It’s beautiful, functional, comfortable, and has all the essential tech you need with a top-of-the-class sound system. It may not beat track times or leave the competition in the dust in a drag race, but I’m not doing that along with 99% of the driving population. Not to mention the car is cheaper and significantly more reliable than its German and Korean competition, it carves its own niche as the most practical sports sedan in the market today. I can’t wait to upgrade to the next generation TLX Type S with hopefully a touchscreen.
