The ideal luxury crossover

My wife and I traded in our 3rd gen Forester for the 2016 NX a year ago and have no regrets at all. Compared to the Subaru, the Lexus feels as though actual consideration was put into the vehicle's construction. The NX has a quality interior with upholstery and panels that fit nicely and sound deadening like you wouldn't believe--extremely quiet cabin at highway speeds and super comfortable front seats. A year later we still talk about how nice it is from time to time. A few minor flaws, the cargo is pretty small for a crossover so there's a little tetris packing required for longer trips/more people... though we packed fine for two-person weekend camping trips and a backpacking trip with 4 people in the NX. Also, you're not winning any stop light races in this thing, but that's not what you buy a Lexus for... If that's what you're looking to do you should get a 911 Turbo S, a pair of Ray Ban Clubmasters, and some polo shirts.

Excellent choice for the AARP crowd. Advanced structure safety design. Engineers used advanced construction processes. Attention to the little things and attention to detail is self evident like stop and Hold braking at stop lights... Designers tailored comfort for 50 Plus.... im amazed at the "Exceptional seat comfort" ! Advanced melded frame blocks noise transmission! Suspension provides deep muted kicks producing a remarkable ride! Superb fit and finish inside the cabin. Remarkable smooth "intelligent" modern transmission and an Engine that produces excellent numbers at low RPMs.. Its a ride you can drive great distance and still feel good at the end of the day! Hard to judge only by the numbers alone but rather "OF" the whole concept ! Very quiet so use the cruise control isolation makes it hard to feel just how fast your going. No buyers remorse here. Not a drivers car but rather "luxury" transportation. Arrive alive and in great shape! So for value comfort resale and reliability this "IS" a compact SUV to consider.

EXtra Special NX 200t F-Sport AWD

I've wanted an SUV for some time now and the Lexus NX 200t is just what I wanted! It's sporty look and luxury upgrades are icing on the cake. I've read many reviews that say they don't like that the seats because they aren't real leather. Prior to this I owned a Lexus ES 350 with leather seats and I don't even notice that the leather seats were any better than the NX's. In addition the light gray leather seats on the ES350 started to look worn and cracked over time. I've only had this vehicle for about five days so I'm still getting use to it but so far I love everything about it. I like setting up higher than a sedan but not so high like a Land Cruiser. I'm very happy with my choice. I knew I was going to buy another Lexus and thought I wanted the RX350 but compared to the NX it seemed too big and less agile. If my opinion changes I'll post but so far I'm in love!!!! Also, the technology is out of this world but be prepared to have to study the manuals and play with all the bells and whistles to figure out how to take advantage of all the extras.

If you’re looking for a luxury CUV, the NX200t is an excellent vehicle. It's sporty look and luxury upgrades are fantastic along with all the safety features. My safety features include Parking assist, rear camera, and rear cross traffic alert. I bought this NX200t as an after-lease Lexus certified vehicle. The Lexus certification adds a 2 year bumper to bumper warranty for a total of 3 more years, and 2 more years of free service. The length (182”) is just right for my garage, giving me a few inches in front and back. Some of the newer homes just don’t allow for a mid or full size vehicle. I enjoy seeing the exterior silver lining paint, alloy wheels and the contrast with the cream color seats with black trim. The interior fit and finish is fantastic and I love the cream color leather seats trimmed in black... the colors add a luxurious style. The navigation screen with a mouse is simple and easy to use. Remember not to use or set the navigation while driving. The power seats have a good amount of settings and the driver seat memory is a plus, but my personal setting is not to have the seats move upon entry or exit of the vehicle, which is a dealer setting. I can understand some settings being limited to dealer settings, but the driver seat has nothing to do with safety. This vehicle handles exceptionally well, more like a sports car rather than a small SUV. The engine is very quiet, and the turbo has more than adequate power. For city driving I’m averaging 24 mpg, but curious to see if I get 28 mpg as advertised. Overall, I love this Lexus NX200t as it’s well built with high quality workmanship and materials.Update: Overall the Lexus NX200t is an excellent CUV. However my update includes an issue when I accelerate from a stop and while cruising at 55 mph on the highway. When I moderately accelerate from the stop the vehicle pulls to the right, and when I’m cruising at around 55 and accelerate the car pulls to the right and floats, so steering is a problem. In my opinion this is a safety hazard that may create an accident. This issue was serviced a few times at the Lexus service department in Beaverton, OR. Their response each time was nothing is wrong, so I suggested I go with a service tech and let them drive. While going on the test drive the tech said this is not a good thing and needs to be fixed. When I picked up my car after servicing the issue I was told that the same pull is on another car the same year and type, so it’s ok?? I later contacted the Lexus corperate office, satisfaction office about this issue. After they check to verify the issue, they said just DON’T drive like that. I said like what? They said don’t do a hard acceleration, drive gentle??? Poor service at Lexus Beaverton and Lexus Corperate office. I felt I needed to get rid of my Lexus and I ordered a new Lexus RX450h, but after further consideration I cancelled my order and went with a Mercedes. My conclusion is Don’t buy a Lexus due to POOR service and no support from the Corperate Office.
