In a dramatic turn of events, the Throttle House team receives a letter challenging them to review the TLX Type S on the road, following a previous track-only assessment that left many TLX owners fuming. Thomas takes the wheel, embarking on a quintessentially Canadian day to put the car through its paces in everyday scenarios. The TLX Type S, armed with a 3L V6 engine delivering 355 horsepower, presents itself as a more budget-friendly option in the competitive midsize sports sedan segment. While it may not match the speed demons in its class, the car offers a decently quick and enjoyable driving experience, especially when cruising around town.
As Thomas delves deeper into the TLX Type S, he uncovers a mix of strengths and weaknesses that define the car's character. The sharp steering at lower speeds gives a glimpse of agility, but push it too hard, and the understeer rears its head, revealing the car's softer side. Despite its shortcomings in pure performance, the TLX Type S shines in providing a comfortable and pleasant ride for daily commutes and errands. The car's exterior design garners praise for its clean lines, well-proportioned silhouette, and unmistakable Acura DNA, setting it apart in a sea of midsize sedans.
Inside the TLX Type S, Thomas discovers a blend of modern features and classic comforts that enhance the overall driving experience. The addition of a digital gauge cluster and strategically placed physical buttons elevates the cabin's functionality, although a contentious trackpad for the infotainment system raises eyebrows. Despite this flaw, the TLX Type S emerges as a compelling choice for those seeking a stylish and refined daily driver, complete with a top-notch sound system that elevates the driving experience. While it may not be the most athletic contender in its class, the TLX Type S proves its worth as a comfortable and visually striking option for discerning drivers.
