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.

Still Love My NX

I bought new and have owned my Lexus NX for over 6 years and still love it! The finishes are refined and have held up. Mechanically it has been awesome only needing regular scheduled maintenance which I strictly adhere to the schedule and have the dealer service. The size although interior is a bit small is perfectly suited to my husband and I. My children have driven it and relay its very responsive and peppy for a 4 cylinder. It has been great in the snow with the AWD in winters. The only aggravating issue is the menu touchpad - don’t know what someone was thinking with that design! Would definitely buy another NX or another Lexus model.

Like the car but not the dealer service department

The car handles well, is very competent to drive, and can be fun to drive on the highway. It is solid in turns, but leans and has a somewhat squishy suspension. My 2016 is noisy on concrete sections of highways. Comfortable ride much appreciated on long road trips. Approaching 32,000 miles and mechanically all is well with the car. However, Toyota service can be very annoying. Love the folks who great you, they treat you great if you chose to wait, provide a new car if you need to go somewhere, and can pick the car up at your house and return it to your house - all very nice. Fixing small annoying problems is where the service department falls flat. My car has a loud, annoying sound, like the rusty spring on an old farm wagon, when it rains. Numerous trips to the service department and no resolution. Late in the summer, the air coming out of the AC begins to smell. I had to argue with the service department to get them to fix this (according to the web) common problem. After service the car is to be cleaned - sometimes it is, but not always. Overall a nice car to own, but the owner experience could be better.

First, let me say that the NX200 will be a great choice for many drivers. Especially those who had an RX300 in the past, as i did, and found that their RX450 (or 350) is larger than they'd like. (and heavier too). I've been a little frustrated with the way that Lexus has evolved. The front grill is apparently designed with a younger generation in mind. And car chassis keeps getting longer and wider, and less fun to drive. So, i anticipated the NX eagerly, as the "fix". Don't get me wrong. The NX is fun to drive. Smooth. Handles well. Accelerates nicely. And has the smaller footprint for parking and driving around town. 2 problems are deal killers for me: 1) the cabin cargo area is too small for my large dog. And specifically, not tall enough. The RX300, while much smaller than my RX450, had a much taller cargo area than the 450. The cargo height problem is much worse on the NX, making it a show stopper. 2) The other concern is that the front seats on the NX curve forward at the top, in a way i'm not fond of. I could have gotten used to the seats, but the cargo area was a killer. Ironically, much smaller SUVs, like the BMW X1, are better in cabin height - which is surprising. And certainly the Audi Q5 and Mercedes GLC.... let alone the Subaru Forester offer far more viable choices for me and my dog. Frustrating as i'm a big Lexus fan of many years. YMMV (your mileage may vary)
