I'm writing this review because I leased the 2018 NX300 F Sport for mostly my wife to drive a safer vehicle that can handle the winter months as well. I see the same complaints from many consumers, too small, bad infotainment, poor fuel mileage, and other minor issues. So far, we do city driving which is mostly stop and go traffic averaging 17mpg. On the highway I can average 32mpg at 60mph, 27mpg at 75mph. It is a great small SUV for anyone who wants to lease it. I know Lexus has really good reliable cars and that is why I leased mine. Pros: F sport styling, two tone red interior, really good safety features, fuel consumption depends on how you drive, decent storage, long distance driving on the F Sport seats were actually comfortable, ride comfort is very good, perfect for a small Family, compared to the competition I think this is your best bet. The NX has done really well in the snow for those who are looking for a good winter car, the heated and cooled seats are very nice as well. Cons: Terrible infotainment system, we only use our phones GPS, a bit of torque steer, I would recommend the non F sport model for better comfort and more options, slight rattle on the side view mirrors, tight cabin, remote start features are limited. Summary: I have not seen any major problems from other owners about reliability, so if this is a car you intend to keep then buy it, if not lease it. I am considering buying if after the lease is up. Even though I feel Lexus can do better with their electronics, I leased this car with an option to buy because of the Toyota/Lexus reliability. The 2015 nx200s had some issues but they were addressed in the 2018 and up models. It is a lot to pay for a small CUV but the car offers a well rounded driving experience. Those who complain that the NX is small, why didn't you buy a bigger SUV? I already have a bigger SUV, this is my second smaller SUV for my wife which fits us well. It's all about user preference, and I think you may have to sacrifice certain quirks when it comes to reliability.

I have owned over 6 Lexus vehicles and have been satisfied with each one. It is worth the premium over the Toyota brand. Very reliable and reasonable maintenance costs (esp. compared to other European brands; which I have owned as well).

This care is a smart buy for anyone jumping into the luxury market, especially if you are single. This might not be good for a family of 5 at all but if you need something to pack camping stuff in and go on a long road trip in a bit of luxury it’s great. Tough things about it include the need to fill tires with nitrogen. Topping the tires off can be done at any dealership for free but if you are in a tough spot and need to fill the. With regular air you can but should have them deflated and freckled with nitrogen as soon as possible. Premium gas is needed as well but running it in eco mode helps save on gas. The interior is amazing, and the entire car feels solid and looks beautiful. Lexus really pays attention to the details, everything from puddle lights in the door handles coming on automatically when you approach the car to auto folding mirrors when locked. This is definitely a single or childless couples ideal car. Or an older car but type. Nobody in the middle with a lot of kids would find any use for this car at all. Especially considering you have to take good care of it, with nitrogen in the tires premium gas and yes car washes. One thing about this car is that it can rust pretty easy so if you live in a hard weathered area like me (I live in Wisconsin) where there is a lot of precipitation and salt on the roads, you are going to want to wash the under body of the car every couple of weeks and try and have the thing garaged. Again, it’s a single person or childless couple’s car so you gotta take care of it like that. But if you are considering it and have the time to take care of it then it will take care of you. Maintenance cost is low because of common parts with Toyota and flawless reliability so it won’t give you issues if you keep up with it. Finally, I’d say with snow it is good especially in the forced all wheel drive mode but you gotta be careful depending on the type o snow. If you want to keep up with the 4x4’s on the road you are gonna need some super grippy tires. It is ultimately OK on snow but I wouldn’t drive it like an SUV.
