A few years ago, I reviewed a 2017 model and was disappointed with its lack of urgency and slow response. The second-generation TLX, launched four years later, was a major improvement. Regular models with the Premium package and Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) are the perfect blend of amenities and sportiness. It makes me wonder how much better its high-performance sibling, the Type S, is. Now I have the chance to drive the 2025 Acura TLX Type S. Was the three-year wait worth it?
