Traded in my '09 SH-AWD for a '15 TLX SH-AWD
I went in for a routine oil change today and walked out with a TLX. Test drove the AWD and non AWD and kinda fell in love with the AWD lol. Pics are here. Really wanted a BWP with espresso interior, they only had that in non AWD form. They had espresso with the black exterior but i didn't like the black too much...So i opted for a BWP with Ebony interior.
Pics are here. I must say I didn't know what to expect given the complaints of the transmission shifting harshly. My car doesn't shift harshly, but it has that typical "honda" shift. http://s18.postimg.org/i0royfdt5/IMG_3614.jpg http://s29.postimg.org/svujj4t5z/IMG_3615.jpg http://s29.postimg.org/b72srihev/IMG_3616.jpg imgurl |

Congrats man! Hope you enjoy your new ride.

:cheers:

That's a nice color combo. White ext and black int. Congrats!
I was thinking if i buy a TLX, i would go black with black, but recently I'm starting to really like the white color! And how did you get them to add remote start? |
Good riddance to the ugly beak
If you didn't need a new car today and wanted bed with espresso why didn't you just do the deal and ask the dealer to do a dealer trade ? |
Very nice choice!! My 3.5 SH-AWD has really smoothed out of late with just over 4k…in all modes.

Since nobody else said it...
Is it just me or does the guy behind the side mirror in the first pic look really, really small? |

I was able to get remote start added because I told them I wouldn't take the car without it. My 4g had it dealer installed and I wouldn't part with it. Lol I look at it as a freebie. A really useful freebie with the crazy winters we have in NY.

Congrats! That's a great color combo, the car looks terrific in white. I bought my TL and my TLX at Rallye, they're nice to deal with.

Welcome to the TLX fam. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love my Black, but that white is a gorgeous color too. Glad you're enjoying your car so far, mine doesn't exhibit any of the "issue" with the transmission either so I'm hoping Acura can "resolve" any of the problems others do have.
I, like you, won't have another car that doesn't have remote start, or at least the option to do so. I've become spoiled with all the goodies on modern cars, and the winter options are a must now. |

Thanks guys. There are some things I miss from my 4g, but overall this car is much better. Haven't had a chance to open it up or anything as it still has under 100 miles on it, but i could already tell this car is powerful. It gets up to highway speeds without even trying.

Lol^^

Thanks man! Here are some night shots. I've driven in Normal mode mostly, today I selected Sport. Feels great, quick and nimble. With the SH-AWD even at low speed i can feel the rear wheels assisting me with simple turns around the block, which wasn't the case with the 4g. Seems like you don't have to "push" it into corners as much to feel the effects of the torque vectoring. http://s27.postimg.org/clnaea69f/IMG_3619.jpg http://s27.postimg.org/4hf69jjub/IMG_3625.jpg image post |
Beautiful ride. Congrats!
|

|
Congrats!! I have the BWP+Espresso and loving it for the last 8 months of driving it. She is about to hit 10k miles! :O :O
|
Very nice!
