Presented by Olympic Auto Sales, Atlantas premier Luxury Buy Here Pay Here Dealership.The 2018 Acura TLX mid-size luxury sedan improves on a recent new design with a new face this year and a sporty-looking appearance package.But its the sedans balance and powertrain that should win over outright looks.The 2018 TLXs carryover powertrains are nothing to get excited about, but the arrival of a new A-Spec trim to challenge the sporty models from Lexus, BMW, Alfa Romeo, and Mercedes is enough to score the refreshed TLX 6 out of 10 points.While weve only tested the V-6 TLX and TLX A-Spec, the initial performance from the high-end engine is impressive. With 290 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque, off-the-line thrust is strong and paired with the optional Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive system its relatively undramatic. At higher speeds, the loftier torque and horsepower peaks—4,500 and 6,200 rpm, respectively—come into play, presenting plenty of thrust for freeway passes. But the V-6 TLX remains handicapped by its 9-speed automatic transmission.This vehicle is Certified Pre-Owned and is eligible for our third party warranty program.
