My husband and I just returned from our vacation. We drove 1,100 miles during the week. We debated on taking the new NX or our large roomy SUV and decided if, after we packed and everything fit, we would take the NX. Everything fit - luggage, golf clubs, cooler and food for a family of 8 for the week. We put the backseat down and had plenty of room and did not block vision from the back window. The car handled beautifully even with all of the weight. We traveled on highways, mountain roads and congested cities. The car had great acceleration and was easy to maneuver around both the city streets and busy highways. Since this was purchased as my car, my husband at 6'5" was not sure if he was going to be as comfortable in the NX. He is in love. He was comfortable when he drove and even as the passenger. This was our first non GM car in 38 years. He was impressed with the car and became a Lexus fan. The navigation system was easy to use and got us easily to our selected destinations. We purchased 36 gallons of gas during the trip. We averaged 30 mpg!

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!

Lovin' the Lexus

Bought my NX200t AWD at the end of the year, but was still able to get the color I wanted. This review reflects one month of ownership, so I can't speak to reliability just yet. The seating is comfortable, cargo space is adequate for my needs (holds about 7 grocery bags comfortably), and this car does MOVE. The vehicle has Eco, Normal and Sport modes. When I will be accelerating onto the highway, I switch to Sport to give the car an added boost. In stop and go traffic, I am in Normal or Eco mode. Changing modes is quick and easy using a dial on the console. Most operations for the radio or navigation can be done via the steering wheel or voice command. Unlike my previous car by another manufacturer, the car synched with my iPhone 6S quickly and easily and remains connected. Audio quality is good. There is ample leg room in the front and back. The back seat has its own air vents. There are some large blind spots and that does take getting used to, but the blind spot detection system is very helpful in that regard. Remote start is available, but only through the Lexus Enform Remote app. This is free for a year and then the price shoots up. Basically, you end up paying for a remote start over and over again, which I think is ridiculous. Overall, I continue to be impressed with the comfort and performance of this car and am so happy I traded up to a Lexus! UPDATE: I have now had this car seven months and have updated the reliability score. I'm still very much annoying this car. It is performing well and, thus far, I've only needed an oil change.

My first SUV, my first Lexus

I bought my NX 200t AWD about 3 weeks ago. This is my first SUV and I am very happy with my selection. The body design is far ahead of any other SUV. I had been driving an Acura TL, a 2006 and 2011 (AWD SH)so it was difficult to make the switch. The Lexus has good pickup and handling is fine. It's not an Acura so I have to slow down a bit on curves. I love the quietness and smooth ride of the NX which was always mia in the Acura.The NX is fun to drive but you need to have it on "sport". There was little negotiation on price as they were unwilling to sell the SUV for less than the pre-arranged Costco price. If you love the vehicle, you pay the price.

Jumps out of awd when in snow

For me awd system is not good, it overheats and breaks down on roads with snow. When this happens it gets stuck permanently in 2wd and you need to take it to dealer. Rear view is not good. It's a turbo so beware of the turbo lag. Gas milage is on average 19.9 mpg.
