I used to like Alex's videos a lot. I don't watch as much as before but this showed up on my feed and he did a great job!

^ +1, I like Alex's video's and he's very objective as well as some subjective viewpoints. I was just gonna post that review.

Tony Pac

agreed! He is very fair

Motormouth posted a new video of TLX TYPE S, super nice video. Check TLX sub forum.

He is knowledgeable about the vehicles and does try to present a balanced view. I would disagree with a couple of his subjective ratings (e.g., Audi has "more premium interior"), and I guess the combination of rain, poor streets and 320 Type S horsepower really colored his FWD vs. AWD judgment. I've watched videos of drivers throwing ITSs and CTRs around a (dry) race track and grip/traction does not seem to be an impediment.

I spent two weeks last summer in a mid to upper level A3, and neither I nor my colleagues with me were very impressed with its interior room and appointments. The interior has a slight VW+ appearance to it, and at least to my eye, is neither as premium nor as easy to use as the Integra's. What did impress me was the fuel mileage and engine performance. Exterior was boring (VW Jetta), and I have no idea of its price, but I assume it was more $$ than our A Spec. On the last day I had it, the transmission started acting weird, refusing to upshift at times. The only remedy I could find was to stop, turn it off, then restart it. The problem reappeared twice after that, with the same progression playing out.

We continue to love our ASpec MT, and I'm seriously thinking about test driving a Type S, now that they are more readily available. We buy and keep our cars for 10 years or more, so buying a German car and holding it for 10 years isn't really in the cards for us.
