I rather enjoyed this. I know youtubers try to push it his toward the germans and Is 500 but it performs far worse. The tlx type s is a better performing car here. The ES F sport just won’t hang with it. Maybe an ES F Sport performance comes in the future but Lexus has the IS 300/350/500 Acura simply has unfortunately lost the plot with the tlx. While the ES is less sporty it’s nailed everything else particular being much roomier and being a better sedan (including a great hybrid). Acura faking rwd looks has destroyed interior room. It’s crazy to think in the tl best days it outsold the es. Last year the Es sold nearly 4 times the amount of tlx. Overall both nice sedans. Thanks for posting. .
I was very interested in this comparison and it was done well. I've been driving Acuras for the last twenty years and loved them. I wanted a performance sedan but in New England the roads are horrible and winters are tough. I bought an ES350 f Sport Handling. It does not have the performance chops of the TLX Type S but in all other regards it feels like a more refined car,. It's more of a luxury power cruiser, not a back roads canyon carver. When you want to just cruise, the Lexus is buttery smooth and the seats are incredibly comfortable in this trim. When you put it in Sport S Plus mode, and punch the throttle, it gets up and goes. A big surprise is it does this on regular, not premium fuel. I got 29 mpg on my last tank and filled it up for under $40.
NIce video. I am a big Acura fan and have been since I was a kid. These two cars really are incomparable. The reason being is a 3.5L V6 that takes regular unleaded vs a 3.0L V6 turbo that requires premium unleaded. The Acura is competing with the sports sedan and the ES 350 is just a standard sedan. Personally, I don't need nor do I want a premium fueled vehicle. Not only that the TLX does not get good gas mileage at all. The ES 350 is just a better car all around when it comes to luxury and long-term costs. Again, I love Acura products my wife drives a 2023 Acura MDX and she loves it, but if I had to pick out of these two it would be the ES 350 all day.
Driven both of these cars, the Lexus F Sport is a way more luxurious car, especially the interior materials are of a much higher quality. I would say that the Lexus ES in the white or the silver color they have is a much better looking car. Was considering the Acura for its handling but the fit & finish was simply subpar to the Lexus at its price point. (also the backseat of the Acura is horrible) Disappointed in Acura despite being a fan for quite some years, Lexus takes the win for me for its quality.
The Acura TLX with the standard turbo four cylinder and front wheel drive would’ve been a better comparison. But a turbo six cylinder ES would be nice. Car sales would probably go up.
@@PsychicMedium4747 how is the comparison not saying or showing that lol Acura is not exactly on par with German vehicles as far as the luxury feel goes..
It's not really fair to compare a Type S to any trim of the ES, but here we are. Lol. I own this exact same Lexus and while I like the sporty look of the Acura a bit more, the Lexus is a better car in almost every other way. Again, can't really compare the drivetrains though so I'm leaving that out. The biggest dealbreaker for me was the lack of touch screen in the Acura. And the fact that they don't offer a NA v6. I don't want a turbo 4 and a turbo 6 just isn't on my radar. I mean the Lexus doesn't even require premium gas!! It's a no brainer for me. I'd also like to say I came from a '21 Camry with the same drivetrain as the Lexus, so I knew what I was getting myself into. It's a phenomenal car. And I have the red interior in mine which I LOVE.
These are the competitors though, so showing what you get with each one..If that's what you'll enjoy, great! The Lexus is a fun car, but the turbo power is what some of the Lexus models are missing.
The Newer Lexus ES is awful and too boring and it doesn’t even look luxurious with interior and a V6 looks good but still not the fastest sedans the rear seats it’s a little bit too thinner and the worst thing is the badged F-failure sport, but with a Acura with Type S are. Extremely screams out of my breath, and Honda engineered are so excellent and perfectly performance, excellent quality ambient lighting interior, digital cluster screen, and this one of the most beautiful exhaust V6 sounds ever made in Honda and Acura history of mankind. I will take Acura over a Lexus

Just bought a 2019, it really gets up and go when needed. It's like it just jumps forward, when u step on it.
Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Which one will have less problems and or last longer
I believe the Acura will
Most likely the Acura, but bmw is reliable.
Generally yeah.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed BMW is reliable? After 4 years, bmw resale value sucks, it the worst reliable car. Acura and Lexus is more reliable.
The ES is normally wins most relialbe sedan in class. Unfortunately Acura reliability has been below average the last few years.

Glad that's what you would pick! I'd take the Acura over the ES allay. I'd never buy one, but the sporty feel to me is what I'd prefer!

Great content & the comparison as well
Glad you liked it!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yessir
The Acura TLX with the standard turbo four cylinder and front wheel drive would’ve been a better comparison. But a turbo six cylinder ES would be nice. Car sales would probably go up.
I did a bunch of research and these were the two to compare.
I think the Lexus F sport with handling is at least 5K less than the Acura Type S
I mentioned the pricing in this video.
@@BrosFOURRSpeedAcura is a luxury brand that competes with the Germans and Lexus. Why did you say it’s not?
@@PsychicMedium4747 how is the comparison not saying or showing that lol Acura is not exactly on par with German vehicles as far as the luxury feel goes..
Ain’t no way I would give Acura $50K for that car.
That version of the Lexus should be equipped with the kick sensor for trunk.
I don't think any sedan has a kick sensor....that usually on SUV's.
The ES have no AWD only the 250 does and the HP is 203. The ES interior have the same design since 2010
It's not really fair to compare a Type S to any trim of the ES, but here we are. Lol.

Does Lexus offer an AWD or RWD?
Certain Lexus models have awd, but not this ES.
FWD only for 350, AWD for 250
Es need a interior redesign
Yeah maybe soon!
As soon as you said "Acura" and "turbo" in the same sentence, I was done.
Why? The Acura has a Turbo engine...
@BrosFOURRSpeed EXACTLY! I'm a mechanic and I dislike turbos.
@@michaellafrance6454 cool. My brother has owned turbo cars for years, he enjoys them. Buy what you enjoy.
That Lexus is a styling snoozefest….deal breaker. TLX blows it out of the water.
Yeah, Lexus models have more of a sleek design.
Insurance on that acura will break your back in california.
Everything will break the bank on cali 😂
It’s higher than Lexus?
Lexus is the more reliable car
Yeah you can't go wrong with Lexus
Bad comparison, should’ve been the regular tlx a spec
I did a lot of research and these were the competitors..
@@BrosFOURRSpeedhe’s right bro, the ASpec is the closer competitor to this F Sport.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed tlx type S starts at 60k while the is350 starts at 46k
@@drivescene6747 check every comparison video and it’s these two..
@@Pitter-Ttr110 I mentioned pricing in this video…
Bro I can’t hear your voice
Turn it up 😃 audio sounds fine to me.
KIA Stinger GT ups either of these!
Not a bad option. However these are a step up in refinement still. Plus I thought the Stinger was discontinued
@@BrosFOURRSpeedunfortunately they did, but the genesis g70 is a nice option
great comparison, acura have better looking interior, but no touch screen, lol.
I would say it’s better too. But yeah touch screen is almost a standard now.
