First model year. Multiple reports of broken plastic seat trim. Many complaints about the nine-speed transmission that's paired with the V6 are not reflected in the reported repair frequency, as most repairs tend to be just a software update.
Other sources of Acura TLX and Kia Soul reliability data provide only averages, which can conceal as much as they reveal. So we also report the percentage of Acura TLXs and Kia Souls with no repairs at all in the past year and the percentage of Acura TLXs and Kia Souls that are lemons (required three or more repair trips in the past year). These figures might surprise you.
These stats are promptly updated four times a year, to closely track Acura TLX and Kia Soul lemon odds as the cars age. Others can be over a year behind. Only TrueDelta tells you how reliable the Acura TLX and Kia Soul have been recently.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Brand Reputation of the Acura TLX
None of our members have yet commented on the brand reputation of the Acura TLX.
Kia and Hyundai deservedly are darlings of the car industry now. But even in 2010, Kia still was shedding their old "I could not afford a Japanese car" image. It was one of my biggest reservations about buying. Their image keeps on improving.
