I drove Acura's $62,000 TLX to see if it could compete with Cadillac and BMW

Benjamin Zhang/Business Insider

• The Acura TLX Type S is a high-performance variant of Acura's TLX compact luxury sports sedan.
• I was impressed by its turbocharged V6 engine, superb AWD system, and sporty looks.
• My biggest complaints are its trackpad infotainment screen and cramped rear seats.

Since its launch in 1986 as Honda's premium nameplate, Acura has firmly established itself as a purveyor of fun-to-drive luxury automobiles.
