  i was hoping to fall in love.... - 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  By Bill - October 23 - 11:42 am

  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 theyd like. (and heavier too). Ive 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". Dont 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 im 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 im a big Lexus fan of many years. YMMV (your mileage may vary)

  Drives like a car but u have the driving view like an SUV. Good gas mileage plus extra storage space and flexibility.

  Great looker, ugh entertainment/navigation control - 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  By D.Coty - February 10 - 7:58 am

  I had done my homework, so I knew quite about this car/SUV. Every review mentioned than the navigation controls were... horrible. Well, yes they are. The silly touchpad just doesnt work in a car, its not intuitive and certainly almost impossible to use while driving, thankfully I can enroll the kids or my wife for the chore. The rest of the vehicle is a dream. The Mica Blue is attractive in almost any light, and the headlights are visually beautiful and work great. The car does look a bit "chunky" from the sides, but otherwise a nice looking car. The interior is roomy front and back, and the cargo area is tight but adequate. Lesux, please fix.... replace the touchpad and you have a winning car.

  Overall a great vehicle. Nice ride. Good in snow. A little slow off the mark and brakes a a tad grabby but overall I recommend it

  Meets expectations - 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  By Diana - October 13 - 11:32 pm

  We recently purchased an NX200T relatively base model ( couple small options but nothing major ). Overall it is a good car and no complaints other than it would have been nice if a couple items standard on non luxury vehicles were included or offered without having to take a pricey package but for a low to mid 30s Lexus you cant expect too much and you cant get too hurt when trading it in. This vehicle was essentially a hold over vehicle for us while we await some new offerings in the small 7 seat cross over segment ( Toyota Highlander refresh and new Mazda CX9 to name two ). If there was one thing that would have given us some buyers remorse it would have been that this is not a good family hauler. The back doors are kind of tight for getting car seats in and out and our 2 years olds feet easily hit the back of the front seats but based on our currently family size it is acceptable. On the positive side of the NX we did test drive Rav4s and CX5s as other options but the they just seemed a little too slow as they are both 1 to 2 seconds behind when accelerating to 60 but the equipment and options standard or offered in vehicles thousands of dollars less was significant. A Rav4 with decent options and the Lexus engine in the low 30s would be the best of all worlds.

  Not as perfect as exspected - 2015 Lexus NX 200t
  By baronz - August 22 - 11:55 pm

  Bought it Decemver 18, 2015. Tire pressure monitor was showing wrong pressure from day 1, then illuminated one tire as a problem. Pressure in the tire was normail. The car is designed for 4, not 5 people. Painful to seat in the middle back seat. Otherwise great car and handling, Eform software distructing and not very useful.

  Never could find the car I wanted :-( - 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  By Doc 4x5 - May 14 - 4:02 pm

  I thought it would be simple, a Lexus NX200t with ALL the new safety equipment recommended in the new Consumer Reports Magazine, with dark leather, and not black. Even after weeks of diligent searching by my local dealer, and by me on the internet from Seattle to Chicago to Palm Springs, such a car could not be located. Some dealers even had as many as thirty NX200ts on their lots, but... Almost ALL RX350s come with the safety equipment, but for some reason, in a car, one notch down, that costs $40,000 to almost $50,000, this is not available. Ironically I can have all the safety gear in almost any Subaru. Oh, well, Im still waiting and looking. It may be 2017 before this car becomes available, or maybe next week?

  2017 Lexus NX Turbo - 2017 Lexus NX 200t
  By Jody Dean - December 10 - 3:26 pm

  Great interior, ride comfort is excellent and the 4 cylinder turbo in sport mode far exceeds my expectations. The sound system is adequate. Only complaint is fuel tank capacity is only13 gallons. Different ride than a BMWsedan but a great SUV. Plenty of room

  Stylish and smooth - 2017 Lexus NX 200t
  By SG - November 9 - 7:05 pm

  A good car for enjoying a quiet and smooth ride. It is sporty enough in terms of performance but not the best. The technology is not that great as voice commands do not work most of the time and speaker quality is not the best. I would have preferred a touch screen over a trackpad. I would reccomend this car to those who value comfort and quality over performance.
