Lexus nx: great car for city life.
Here is review of my Lexus nx: pros: love the leather interior. Love the sunroof. Love how it drives. It is very quiet. Cons: I wish it was easier to connect my phone. Trunk is small. Wish it was easier to navigate screen. Wish it had a faster pickup. Love it in sport mode but wish it drove like that normal.

The Lexus nx 200t f sport model is an overall great car for a small family.
The vehicle is great. Does not use lots of gas, drives nice especially on sports mode. I haven't really experienced any problems with it as I routinely take it in for service. I do feel that the brakes and tires wore off quicker than I expected. The interior especially the cargo area can feel small at time.

The best SUV I have owned thus far
Omg.. I would definitely recommend this suv. I have a Mercedes HLK 350 AMG and this ride is so much better. It is so smooth and the gas is so economical. It’s a gas saver! I love all the interior design with the heated seats, the touchscreen mousepad, the fancy radio, the illuminated inside lights.. I could go on and on... Oh.. Did I tell you my back seat reclines individually like the front seats!!! Amazing, huh? I think I’m sticking with Lexus again (I had a GS350 which I loooooooved but had more kids so needed more room and got an Escalade.. Another story) but oh how I missed Lexus.. Then I can go to a Toyota dealership for anything I need.. Don’t have to go to Just Lexus!

Very safe vehicle. Great features!
I love my car and I feel very safe in it. Very good on gas, it does need to use premium gas but it is very good in the mileage. Has seat and steering wheel warmers for passenger and driver seat. Great sunroof. Back seats fold down all the way, great for moving things. Amazing safety features. Rear view camera.

Bluetooth, screen and mouse pad, wireless phone charger, and heated seats.
The 2015 Lexus nx 200t f sport SUV is a great luxury vehicle because the look, style, and design on the inside and outside is amazing. The dash is very updated and techy. It performs perfectly in eco, normal, and sports mode. The annual maintenance on Lexus’ is very low compared to most brands of cars so it is very reliable. The seats are heated and the back has a lot of legroom. The trunk is automatic. It also has a cordless charger for smartphones and a sunroof. The car overall is just great and I am glad I made the decision to purchase a Lexus!

Dependable, never have to, worry about any electrical or mechanical issues.
Very reliable, no problems at all, good highway gas mileage, has only needed scheduled services after almost 70, 000 miles. Ne dr rain sensing wipers to make it perfect as was not offered on this model which first introduced.

Lexus provides serious comfort.
I love my Lexus. The luxury elements like the heated steering wheel, heated and cooling seats and the back up camera are wonderful! The car handles great in the snow and I really enjoy the keyless entry. Everyone who rides in it loves how comfortable the seats are. Passengers in the back seat can even recline their seats.

Good car of families or traveling.
Very comfortable leather seats, beautiful interior. Fits 5 people comfortably. Great trunk space and back seats fold down if you need more space. Car runs smoothly. As long as you keep up with maintenance you should have no major problems. Looks great on the outside. Love the backup camera.

Overall the vehicle is pretty nice and pretty reliable with decent features.
It has a recall on it, but other than that it a very nice and reliable car. It has pretty good technology and a sleek design. It doesn't have all-wheel drive which is bad in the winter time and snow. Both front seats are heated and also has a decent amount of room in the trunk.

Sporty SUV, good for road trips with two people.
It is a good reliable car but compact, if you are looking for a vehicle with room this is not the one. Maintenance is simple regular things just as any car and is never anything too expensive. Seats are decently comfortable, I have drove mine on a 13 hour road trip before and didn't have to stop often to stretch.

Car is great, but missing a few basics.
Love this car. Love the styling, love the comfort level. Has an eco setting and a sport setting. I drive eco, my husband drives sport of course. The only things this car is lacking is a digital clock, enough cup holders, and a sunglasses case on the roof. The luxury analog clock looks nice, but takes too much time to read. I was sure there would be a digital clock on one of the screen displays but there is not, which was disappointing. I also can never find enough space for my drinks, wallet, and keys because there are only 2 cup holders in the center and one in each door. I would also love a sunglasses case on the roof interior so they do not get scratched up in the car.

I love the Bluetooth system and the way that you can connect via Bluetooth.
Problems would be that it might not open when the key is near. As well as go off until you get in the car from the back to then get into your front seat. It also sometimes makes a screeching breaking noise when you are either backing up or stopping the car.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Laura B.

There is a lot of legroom and space in the back seat. You can fit into parking spots easily. The acceleration is good and has multiple settings. The seats have heaters and coolers. The leather is good quality and has not torn or worn in any places.

likeFilled Les G.

Dependable, absolutely maintenance free. Not one single problem since I purchased it. The Lexus dealership is great to work with. Even for normal maintenance they provide a loaner if desired. Plus wash your car before you pick it up.

likeFilled Haley S.

It is luxurious feeling. It has great gas mileage. It is super comfortable for long drives. It is the right in between size if you want an SUV but not something big. Not too small but not too big. It is very sharp and rides smooth. Has heated and cooling seats. Bluetooth that sinks with my phone.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Laura B.

It would not be great for a family. A car seat would not be able to be accessed easily from the back seat, however, I was in an accident once and the airbags went off and we were not injured at all. So it is really safe.

dislikeFilled Les G.

Cannot think of many. Only thing that comes to mind is the exterior mirrors are a bit too big. Can obstruct your view when making a turn, in particular a left turn. That probably has to do with the height of the person driving.

dislikeFilled Haley S.

I wish mine had navigation. It was supposed to but did not. I also wish my model was more updated as far as the apps on my screen. Wish the screen didn't sit up so high on the dash either. I am hoping Lexus will change this in the near future.
