Well it's been eight months since I got my TLX and I never really did do an introduction. I'm not on as active as many of the members on here so I guess you can call me more of a lurker
. I'm 32 and do sysadmin type work, so the TLX was a big attraction to me given all of the tech that's in the car. I'm loyal to Acura as I've owned 3 now. I loved both the GS-R and RSX Type S as they were both small, nimble, and quick. I was reluctant to give up driving manual transmission especially since they are becoming less common, but given the traffic I have to deal with in DC to commute between MD and VA, I took the dive. I can't be any happier 
I considered the TLX and the Q50. I liked the Q50's power a lot, but it certainly didn't have the quiet ride that the TLX has. It was also riddled with issues with the InTouch system which were actually borderline hazardous and the trunk in that car was a joke.

Dislikes (more like nitpicky things):

Likes:
- Smooth and extremely quiet ride
- Power when you need it
- The two screen setup is very clean and although I have a couple of gripes about it, I think it could leave room for further development of features which you can't do easily with buttons
- Traffic and Navi works very well in my opinion - I know longer have to rely on Google and Waze to get around though sometimes I reference them to compare
- Voice commands took some getting used to since it was weird talking to a car, but they work really well in my opinion
- LED lights are brighter and wider than any other car I've driven
- ELS Sound System - Coming from a little coupe, this is a big step up for me. I know some don't share the same opinon, but I think it sounds great.
- Not having to shift gears in heavy traffic
Dislikes (more like nitpicky things):
- No auto-lock when closing door and walking away with key. To me, sometimes its awkward when you are waiting by the door waiting for everyone to get out just to push a button on the door. My wife's Mazda3 locks the door automatically if the key gets out of range. I really like that feature.
- I would have thought that Acura would have put a clock somewhere on the MID. Like between the gear selection and information screen.
- No buttons for seat heater - I have to press the screen multiple times to enable seat heat then back to audio screen
- No spare tire! Still thinking about getting one installed.
- Can't permanently disable auto-stop. I've at least gotten into the habit of shutting it off every time I turn the car on.
- Sometimes it struggles to find the right gear to downshift to or it lags a little too long before downshifting.
- 2nd to 3rd bump, but it has gotten better or maybe I'm just used to it.
