  NX F SPORT IMPRESSIONS AFTER THE FIRST FEW WEEKS - 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  By 6406nb - March 13 - 10:59 pm

  I am currently in week three of driving the NX. I came from a V-6 powered car and this is my first turbo anything. My initial thoughts are its really cool and extremely personal. The seats grip you securely and the controls are all very easy to access. I dont quite understand the logic of some of the design which is not as direct or simple to use as some other brands. But I knew this full well going in and have pretty much gotten used to it. The technology guy at the dealer didnt help much, and there are some things you learn by chance, or even by hitting a button accidentally. The turbo is subtle--the car is by no means a rocket. It is quiet and surefooted. I dont know if I would ever own it, but do enjoy how special it looks even compared to a non-F Sport NX. Please note you cannot get ventilated seats on the F-Sport if this is a big deal for you. In addition you cant get some of the latest technology on this version vs the standard one --items such as overhead camera, emergency braking, rain sensing wipers and radar cruise. Handling is nimble and the car is a great size and easy to park. There is very little wind noise. Mileage has been in the lower 20s and I have been experimenting with regular gas but it states very emphatically on the gas cap that you need to use premium. So far I dont notice too much difference, but plan to try premium for awhile to see if I get a mileage boost. BTW the hybrid version is very slow and much more expensive. Also they need to go back to an overhead sunglass compartment which i have noticed they did on the new RX. Places to put "stuff" is not very well thought out at all. But in summary, so far so good. I think we will enjoy this and the all wheel drive should be a great benefit and comfort when the weather turns again.

  Pride & Joy - 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  By Don Zien - July 15 - 10:28 pm

  I am approaching 2 years on my NX F Sport lease. Every time I walk up to it I enjoy the gleaming silver lining paint and alloy wheels and the contrast with the red trimmed seats. As cars continue to get larger, it is the perfect size for me a lot like the original RX 300s I had. Today the RX is gigantic and there is a new even longer one coming out. I enjoy just about all aspects of the NX but there are some things that should be mentioned: 1. The safety technology is just now being included in the 2018 F Sport model such as lane departure and active cruise and braking. To put it in perspective, there are Toyota models including the Corolla that had this before the NX F Sport. 2. Until the 2018 model you couldnt get ventilated seats on the F Sport--only heated seats. 3. It seems Lexus is committed to the touch pad idea. They made it larger on the 2018 and I believe they are even incorporating it on their new flagship LS model thats coming out. Who decided this is the best tool for safe driving and use selection in the car? That should be interesting for the older LS demographic to try and learn. 4. I am not a big fan of the 4 cylinder engine or its drone. It doesnt get good mileage and requires premium fuel. It seems to me there are a number of 4 cylinder turbos like from Korea that dont require premium fuel. I am a reasonable driver and rarely get above 24 miles per gallon. Even on the highway. 5. Regarding the heated steering wheel, it should be the whole wheel not just the 9 & 3 positions. The switch for the wheel is not logically located way down low to the left. It should be on the steering wheel. And you have to reactivate it every time you start the car. 6. No one uses the SOS button up above. Lexus just wants you to subscribe. Put the sunglass holder back up there. All that said I love the car and would get another one--maybe the hybrid next time. Its something different, fun, unique and cool.

  Pleased with my Lexus NXt - 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  By Barry - May 2 - 8:44 am

  I recently retired and needed to replace my 2011 BMW X3. I loved my X3 but the new one was just too expensive. I test drove the BMW X1 and wanted to like it but the ride was too firm to suit me. I liked the Acura RDX but their option pricing required the loaded but most expensive Advance package just to get parking sensors. Plus, I did not feel the Acura style, interior or exterior, was up to the 2016 Lexus NXt. I requested quotes through the Edmunds link and was pleasantly surprised that an out of town dealer had by far the best deal. I got pretty much every option except the lane departure warning, dynamic cruise control and leather seats (you will be impressed with the comfort and looks of the Lexus synthetic leather seats!). I only have about 500 miles on it but so far I am very happy with my purchase. It is extremely comfortable, very quiet and has a high tech look. Yes, the touchpad controller is a bit fussy but you do get better with use (and many controls can be done from the steering wheel or verbally). As another reviewer commented, the cruising range is only a little over 300 miles but that is a minor complaint compared to the many positives with this vehicle.

  Great Mid-size SUV - 2015 Lexus NX 200t
  By u1g - January 10 - 2:33 am

  After X3 and X1, I decided to try a Lexus and I love it. Interior fit and finish is great and the design is very upscale. BMWs so called "business luxury" is getting old after seven years. Seats are more comfortable than X1 or X3, and lateral support on NX (regular seat) is much better than X3 or X1. NX is not as agile or fast as X1 or X3, but to me, it has the right combination of luxurious drive, good speed and handling capabilities. And my deciding factor was NX looks less feminine than X3, in my opinion. Sure the grill looks too much, but if you put a license plate, it isnt as "gaping hole" like as you think. Cargo space is fine for people w/o kids.

  70 year old Grandma loves this car! - 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  By Kathleen - October 31 - 5:28 pm

  We traded our 2010 RX450H for this 2016 NX200t. I couldnʻt be happier! The size is perfect for us. Being 11" shorter in length makes our garage storage more accessable. I love the color (red) with the camel interior. Also, all the technology is easy to set up by following the manual. The ride is ʻcusheyʻ and I love how it hugs the road. Canʻt wait to take it on a road trip.

  EXtra Special NX 200t F-Sport AWD - 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  By A. Wilson - August 28 - 8:49 pm

  Ive wanted an SUV for some time now and the Lexus NX 200t is just what I wanted! Its sporty look and luxury upgrades are icing on the cake. Ive read many reviews that say they dont like that the seats because they arent real leather. Prior to this I owned a Lexus ES 350 with leather seats and I dont even notice that the leather seats were any better than the NXs. In addition the light gray leather seats on the ES350 started to look worn and cracked over time. Ive only had this vehicle for about five days so Im 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. Im 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 Ill post but so far Im 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.

  Sporty ride - 2016 Lexus NX 200t
  By Kim Farley - August 4 - 4:40 am

  Still love the car. Not quite used to the smallness of this vehicle since we bought several RX models over the years before buying this one. We love the technology and safety warning devices and find the vehicle very comfortable. We took a 3,000 mile road trip in this car and found it to be a wonderful ride.
