I had an Acura Tl for 7 years, which was a great car. However it does not compare to the NX Sport. The fit, finish, comfort, ride all exceeded my expectations. I knew the NX sport would be on the top of my list after viewing one at this year's Detroit Auto show. I love everything about the car and i keep finding new features every day. The blind spit sensor is helpful and not distracting. The power is excellent and the ride is smooth and quiet. I tend to keep in in ECO mode, which still offers plenty of power. If I need additional power or handling I can throw it in sport mode on the fly. This returns about 25 MPG with city and highway mix. Overall this is an all around excellent choice. Not to mention it had head turning looks and styling. Update 8/7/16: I've had the car for a year now and still love everything. Only issues I've had are with the touchy track pad and the inconsistent voice command. Also the USB ports could use an upgrade to allow for faster phone charging. Despite these very minor querks I would still rate the car excellent. The cargo space is excellent with the seats down. The opening to the truck could be larger, however that would sacrifice the stlying a bit. I also wish I had insisted on a tow package as there is no way to fit a bike rack without it. I still love getting in this SUV as my daily driver and I plan to keep it for 7-8 years. Update 8/9/17 Car is still great, no issues. Navigation and voice command are below par with other vehicles. Other then that still love the car. Update 8/9/18 Still hold a five star rating for the car. It's been excellent. Update 8/11/19 Still great 3 years in. Zero issues... dod have to change spark plugs at 40k miles, but no big deal. Update2/12/21 Still a great car 5 years in. One issue with the door locks, but otherwise excellent Update 8-12-21 -only had one issue in six years which was the driver door lock mechanism which was under warranty - Car looks brand new, drives great -56,000 miles on the car -Superior build quality really makes a difference Update 2-12-22 60,000 miles - This has been an excellent vehicle for my family. - still looks new thanks to the paint protection and regular waxing - certainly has been a smart choice to purchase this vehicle

Great vehicle, my only nits are that I would like the car to be a bit larger so as to have a bit more cargo space and the automatic safety braking system sometimes brakes unexpectedly when coming in too hot for a stop in traffic (I cleaned sensors and come in a bit slower for a stop and all is well). Comfort in front and rear seats is amazing. Especially the drivers cockpit (because that is what it is). The drive and handling are superb but more sporty than your typically lexus, this is no rolling couch. That being said, it does so well on the road, I've done more than a few 12 hour road trips with little to no fatigue. Just great vehicle lexus really hot this one out of the park.

I have no idea what those folks were expecting ... perhaps a more traditional luxury SUV ... but this ain't your grandpa's Lexus! I purchased the 4x2 "non-sport" version with every conceivable option, and save for the touchpad, it's an absolutely superb vehicle. I traded in an RX (enjoyed owning it, but always felt it was a bit too much car for my lifestyle), and it's proven to be the right decision. Performance is excellent, but in a different manner than the RX ... I actually look forward to driving it. Overall, it has a much "younger" vibe, especially for a septuagenarian such as myself, while still maintaining the luxury and dependability standards that make it a Lexus. This SUV fills that gap in the product line beautifully. No longer need I consider purchasing one of those high-maintenance German counterparts ... this vehicle has it all! UPDATE: after a year, my opinion remains the same. This is a remarkable vehicle ... even Consumer Reports now thinks so, having rated it tops among luxury compact SUV's. The one wart remains the touchpad ... I thought that the "mouse" that controls the RX's functions was awkward; now I wish it were on the NX. Thankfully, I don't use it all that often, and have adjusted to its quirks; but still .... Despite this, I don't regret my decision for a moment. It's a great car, fun to drive, full of creature comforts ... can't ask for more. UPDATE, PART II: 18 months and 10,000 miles into ownership, all remains just fine ... no issues (not so much as a squeak or rattle), everything performing as designed. That silly touchpad is apparently out on future models, given that Lexus keeps sending me surveys about it. I've yet to hear anything positive from other owners. All that notwithstanding, what attracted me to the NX in the first place remains ... a quality, fun-to-drive yet practical SUV. UPDATE , PART III (the final chapter): Well, that quirky touchpad finally got the best of me. After two years of fiddling with it, I traded in the vehicle. My new ride has a touchscreen as well as a more sophisticated navigation system. Had the Lexus been so equipped, I'd likely still be driving it. Lesson learned.

After three ES Sedans--A Lexus CUV for me

After driving three ES sedans, I decided to try the new NX. I had grown accustomed to the small things in the ES, like the steering wheel getting out of the way and the seat moving back when I shut the car off. I liked the consistency of the instrument panel on each of the ES sedans. I am not concerned about going 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds. I want a vehicle that can get me into traffic and pass with some authority when needed. The 2015 NX 200t AWD is the vehicle that gives me the familiar comfort of the old, with the excitement of the new. It is refreshing to hit the gas in the NX and have the turbo kick in and put you back in the seat. The instrument panel has the same tachometer, speedometer, and info center as the ES. I like that familiarity. Some may expect something completely new. The Infotainment center is very intuitive. In a three hour highway drive, I was able to maneuver through the options without becoming distracted. I especially like the Enform auto start feature. I have read in past reviews that the auto start technology was "old" for a Lexus vehicle. I have used the I-phone App a number of times already and it worked flawlessly each time.If this is old technology and it works, I'm OK with that. Also, it was easy to download and sign up.The ride is smooth and quiet just as you might expect from Lexus. You can hear the turbo fire up for short time when you start up. It quiets down after a few seconds. One new thing I Like is the slightly stiffer ride in the NX compared to ES. It feels more like a sports car ride. finally for me, going to the CUV versus having a car has gone surprisingly well. I appreciate the access to the trunk area, my golf clubs do not have to be placed at an angle, and the jumper cables fit in with the spare tire. I have no regrets with my decision to go with the NX 200t. This vehicle is not just for Moms, Dads will like it too!

It's a Lexus so you get what you pay for. Love everything about the way this car looks and drives. Reality you will NOT get the estimated MPG, even in Eco mode. I try and I get 21-22/gallon driving in Southern California. Another thing, the Speaking navigation for entering an address is HORRIBLE. One every 20 times it actually gets it right and typically tries to send me to another state, even if the address is as easy as 123 Thomas Ave. DO not expect much. USB ports disconnect often.
