2021 Acura TLX A-Spec

The 2021 TLX is Acura's midsize sport sedan, the one that lines up against the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. The cabin feels upscale with quality materials, though rear legroom is a bit tight for a midsize sedan. Acura's reputation for dependability carries over here, and owners report few issues beyond minor annoyances. The A-Spec is the sporty-looking trim for shoppers who want the aggressive styling without stepping up to the Type S; you get blacked-out trim, larger wheels, and a firmer suspension tune. It uses the 2.0L I4 making 272 horsepower with front-wheel drive and a automatic transmission, which gives it punchy mid-range response for daily driving; expect 25 mpg combined.
