Just leased a TLX 3.5L V6 Tech Package. Bellanova White Pearl exterior and Espresso interior. So far so good. Can't find anything I dislike about it.

The only thing I've noticed is the turning radius is wider than I expected. But that's not an issue.

Welcome to the Forum! Glad to see your first post is an introduction.

Enjoy your TLX. Let us know if you learn anything we might have missed.

Welcome to the forum!

Love the color combo too.

What made you decide to lease instead of buy?

What made you decide to lease instead of buy?

Monthly payments are cheaper, which makes better packages affordable. I also have the option to buy which my lease payments would be put towards it. And the option to exchange early for another car lease if I want.

In addition to what NYC said, because the TLX is about 90% computer repairs could be quite pricey once warranties go away. Leased cars are always under warranty unless you select to buy at the end of the lease.::crying::

Welcome to the forum. Good to hear that you've got no complaints so far.

Well I actually found one. More like a slight annoyance. You can't permanently turn off the idle stop. If you turn it off, it comes on again by default when you start engine again. It's a simple press on a button to turn off, so no big deal. It's just I always forget until my first stop.

 

[andre12dbsi]

You're not the first person to mention that. There is another thread that talks about conditions when it won't come on but there's no way to have it permanently off unfortunately.
