Congrats! I love the Still Night Blue with either black or red interior. The blue/red I'd get a 2G NSX in, personally. Great choice and stunning lease deal.

 

Italiannyc; make sure you get them to throw in the 19" Donut Spare tire; they're back ordered
Anyone living in NYC, has to deal with Pothole city; blowouts are inevitable for low profile tires
Also, try & negotiate Tire & Wheel replacement insurance
Each 19" Michelin is around $250, & the 19" spoke wheels are $1,100 EACH
The insurance is for the life of the lease or loan, & it's NOT aftermarket; all factory replacements
Best of all, there's no limit to the # of tires or wheels, & you can use your dealer or any certified tire dealer
wise investment!

 

Hey neuronbob: Interest rates are real low now; most people defer buying until spring; (bad choice)
Prices are WAY better in January
Do your homework; the dealer in Florida wanted $2,500 down, & $489 /month; haha
strange, only because how many SH-AWD cars do they sell in fort lauderdale
Good luck!

 

[QUOTE=kuzdu;16158514]I guess there is no turning off the auto idle stop, my hopes were high for this. I guess the salesperson made that one up but if you can shut it off permanently let us all know. I never drove a 2015 tlx. The trans in that year must have been crazy bad as I get a lot of lag in certain situations and the gearing to me seems pretty weak from a complete stop (compared to my old type S). It's something that I have come to expect but doesn't mean I like it. I think the A-spec actually has a little more lag in certain situations than my old 2017 TLX but maybe it's the same.

Anyway congrats on the car as I have the same one. I have had a lot of compliments on the car and the shawd handling is really great. MPG wise I was getting 28 in the 2017 FWD V6 TLX but the A-Spec is returning 22 but I guess once winter is over it will bump up to 24. I don't do much highway driving though and I do have a heavy foot so its 1mpg better than the type S but with a bit less acceleration and finicky picking the gears.

 

Very nice looking car shows the lines well. The latest add to our family cars is very similar in color. First blue one in a while. Best of luck & enjoy driving it. Don't know where you are located but winter gas usually shows worse mileage then the summer blend. Also as you run the mileage on the car up the gas mileage will improve.

 

CPR respond to the Auto Idle Stop or get BANNED!!!! We need the info. LOL

 

Congrats great looking TLX... Enjoy!!

 

I don't even think the dealer would charge $1100 per wheel. They have a list price of $401.20

Well pulled the trigger white Aspec red inside they have to order it and should be here in a couple of weeks ☺️ Got remote start on it as well

 

kuzdu; congrats on the acquisition; White/Red was my 2nd choice; last TLX was White/Espresso
You're gonna LOVE it! Blows the 2015 TLX/SH-AWD/Tech out of the water
Tighter steering, suspension, bigger tires, electric thigh extender, Apple, & Android CarPlay, etc.
BTW: it's HIGHLY ADVISABLE to get tire & wheel insurance; NYC roads SUCK, & potholes will be blooming
as soon as the temps increase; low profile 19" tires are very susceptible to bad roads
wise investment; anyway, GOOD LUCK!

 

I know i cant wait until middle of Feb, I also took off all my parts, pulley, VCMuzzler sprint booster and its all going on the aspec to turn it into an awesome machine.

 

FYSA, the only difference between the 17", 18", and 19" spare tire packages is the placard that gets installed on the driver's side door jam listing the wheel size and other details. Take a look at step 14 here: http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/p...II05363-30.pdf

The placard costs about $2-$3 on its own. For the 19" wheels the part number for it is: 42762-TZ3-A90

 

18TLXAspec: thx., for the heads-up; I'm actually having mine installed by the dealer on Saturday
For me, the spare is imperative; it always seems that flats & blow-outs happen on Sundays, when no one's around; lol
Anyway, on my 2015 TLX, I had the WRONG donut, & when I needed it I was screwed; dealer replaced it after the fact
Have to make sure this one fits
No matter what, if you get a blow-out, the tire sealant repair kit is useless; therefore the donut is essential

 

instead of typing the name and :, why not use the nifty quote feature so the person knows who you're addressing? Also, you can multi-quote to respond to more than one person.

Congrats on your choice, what a great car...my mother in law has a red one and in person it is a work of art, that's for sure. Stands out heavily over the base TLX.
Love the combo you picked.

 

Curious about the type of deal you brokered;
the Long Island dealerships were always more difficult to bargain with
Anyway, congrats! I know you'll love it
