Performance Red with NSX Inspired Y-Spoke wheels


Still in awe I snagged a Type-S

Looks good and congrats! Your pictures remind me to finally get my puddle lights replaced.

MarcoTLX

Stunning and congrats! First impressions?

MarcoTLX

FAST AF. Lol but seriously my first impressions is it’s a dope car and can be smooth as jazz on comfort mode and rowdy when in Sport/Sport+ mode.

This car gets noticeably more attention than my 2019 A-Spec for sure. I can’t stop looking at this car when I park it and walk away. Seats are super comfortable.

I haven’t pushed it hard as I’m adhering to the 500 mile break-in period still

Very nice! This is the first PRP Type S I have seen. Ebony interior?

We got our Integra in PRP. When it's clean and in bright sun, it's an amazing color.

Enjoy the new wheels.

MarcoTLX

yup Ebony Interior!

It’s kind of a rare color especially in my area of the east coast. A lot of Apex Blues, Whites and Blacks in my area and a few golds

Congrats! I'm very happy for you, especially with the upgrade coming from your previous car. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of deal did you strike in order to obtain it?

MarcoTLX

MSRP deal and they gave me just over $25k for my trade-in (which was pretty fair considering the used car market has began cooling off)

I also get a tax credit in my state when I trade in for another car so I save just over $1k in sales tax cost. Pohanka Acura hooked it up so I took the plunge and did the deal

Ascension

I'm glad it worked out for you. I hope you cherish and take care of your new ride. I'm certain you're going to have an absolute blast once you begin to fully experience it.

I haven't seen a PRP TLX-S in the wild. I bet if anyone were to find a breakdown, it would actually be the rarest color. I've seen every other color a number of times since its release. Heck, I've already seen two separate TEPs (one had Y-Spokes, the other didn't), which you'd think would be the rarest.

MarcoTLX

Exactly! I actually was doing an errand for my job and saw a black type-s going the opposite way on the highway, honestly what made me decide against TEP and go for PRP was a guy who parked his TEP type-s next to my A-Spec a few weeks ago.

At that moment I figured that TEP was abit too common

Nice ride. As others have said, this is probably the only Non-PMC that I haven't seen in the wild yet. Enjoy!

@MarcoTLX, how much will your car cost you after everything is said and done, if you don't mind sharing? I'm asking about the price that's OTD with all fees, interest, and taxes included. Also, as of right now, do you feel that the TLX Type-S is worth the asking MSRP?

MarcoTLX

it’s fine I don’t mind, so as you know it was a MSRP deal so I paid $57,745 before taxes, fees, and title. With those fees and such it put my OTD at about $62k-ish.

As of right now I can say it’s worth it and I intend to get every bit of use out of it for the next 8-9 years.

I really love this car, the looks, the dynamics of the handling, the power and everything this is the ultimate daily car from Acura. Also I really find the 2 year/24k mile complimentary maintenance very useful.

Congrats bro, she looks beautiful! Any plans for accessories in the near future?

Hi Marco. I have the same mean machine, also in red pearl. I have only three days worth of driving it and have stuck to normal mode so far, although I did play a little with the other modes (mostly to feel how each mode felt and sounded). I'm not racing anyone so I can get through the break-in period.

Questions keep popping-up but I've received answers to most. The one I'm dealing with now is Apple Car Play. I know I can use my iPhone 12 via bluetooth. However, I'd like to use the phone apps via Apple Car Play. I've done this with a newer RDX (2021 or 22). I didn't try with the TLX or MDX loaners.

I've heard an owner can/can't connect wirelessly. The dealership said I needed a USB cable. That's fine but I'd love a yes/no answer to whether I can connect my iPhone wirelessly and access Apple Car Play so I can stop wasting time and just buy a new USB cable. I'd trust the dealership but it seemed I knew more about the TLX Type S than the salesmen. Being able to connect to Apple Car Play was easy in a 2022 RDX.

Thanks,
Jessica

MarcoTLX

yeah a lot of the carbon fiber pieces, and gloss black badges among some other stuff.


you can connect with a wire/cord but wireless is not possible unless you get a dongle to enable wireless CarPlay which is relatively cheap
