I'm anxious to post our experiences with our new 2015 TLX Advance. So far I've only driven it 30 miles on the highway at 75 mph and the drive was delightful. Acceleration is adequate, not nearly as quick as our Infiniti G37 but then again, this isn't a sports car.
The Technology features are mind boggling. There's a lot of really cool stuff you can set and personalize to your own preferences, most of which you don't want to do while driving. The stereo system? Ummm, about the worst I've ever heard in any vehicle of any make or year. I am very much into really good sounding music quality and it didn't take long for my wife and I to determine that the speakers themselves, placement, phasing and EQ was designed by a deaf person. The subwoofer is a joke. Even setting it to the highest output and the bass control to the max it still cannot deliver good bottom end response. The tweeters are extremely harsh and the rear speakers sound like the sound is coming from plastic Solo cups. We plan to replace all of the speakers and entire amplifier system with something better. I haven't needed to go to this extreme in a car since the early 1990's.
Other than the stereo system disappointment, the car and other features are quite nice. I will be posting more as we spend more time in it and experience all of the features the "Advance" package offers.
