TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Acura TLX is light on luxury feel, but it has great interior space, lots of technology, and in its base version, supremely enjoyable performance and handling.

Already appealing for its good looks and outstanding safety ratings, the 2016 Volvo S60 grows in interesting ways with the long-wheelbase Inscription and Cross Country soft off-roader.

Mid-size room in small footprint
Lavish high-tech options
Super 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox

TCC Dislikes

No manual gearbox offered
