Default Million Dollar Question (maybe $2.00)

Would you buy the same NX you currently have again. Would you buy exactly what you have...different options, different whatever or buy a different make/model?
If I can get by the Spare I might move on a Red or Cloud Luxury this week. It's this or a GLA35 (the 35 reliability reviews are not too encouraging). Thanks for your comments/replies.

2024 350h Premier Atomic Silver w/Rioja NuLuxe. It came with lots of surprises I wanted. 14 inch screen w. Pano camera. Digital rearview mirror, etc. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

If I had to buy again, yes - it would be the same NX I have today.

2022 NX 350 Premium, Redline/ tan interior (can't remember their name for the color). No. While we're a tiny, tiny minority that pretty much uses nothing on the LCD screen, we dislike the entire Lexus Interface and wish we'd've bought a 2021, or older. However, from what research we did before we bought it, we'd probably re-buy it over a GLA 35.

Here in the Great Burning North, we can't order factory options ala carte as in the US. We pick model, we pick factory option package, done. I bought the 2nd highest (non FSport) tier (Ultra Luxury as they call it here) which includes a lot of features. I chose not to get the 1st tier (Executive) which added mainly the HUD, ML sound system, and heated and powered rear seats. I would have liked those features, I could afford them, but for an extra $5K CAD I just couldn't justify the value to me. A better sound system would have been nice on occasion, but frankly I don't turn up the music too often and half the time I listen to AM talk radio. The power rear seats would also have been nice, but I only fold those seats once every few weeks, I can manage and I don't care if rear passengers have cold butts. The HUD would have been fun to play with, probably miss this the most just for the fun factor, but in my mind the HUD now becomes a $5K add on with bonus features. If that pkg would have been say 40% less, I might have convinced myself to do it, but at full price it is still a nope to me.

The only thing I would have spent more on would have been a 450h+. But I was not interested in waiting years, and not even interested in waiting many months for a 350h, the turbo was just a few weeks wait and I'm happy with it because it is an interesting drive on its own. A thousand pounds less than my old RX hybrid and about the same power output makes for a snappy ride.

After 4 months and about 4300 KMs (~2500 miles), absolutely! We really like the 350h. The infotainment is a great leap from the previous generation. We like the mileage, driveability. Really suits us well. We involuntarily downsized from our previous RX due to theft and don't miss it at all. Atomic silver with palomino (tan) interior is a great combo. Silver hides the dirt well and the light interior makes the car feel more spacious.

I like the toys. Park assist is a great, freaks out the passengers as does lane change assist. The only drawback is the noise of the engine when pressed, for instance passing on the highway. Gets a bit raucous but liveable.

You feelings about the touch screen... easy to use/navigate or do the verbal commands take over?

I have used both, including Google for Waze (Android phone user). Depends on what I'm doing. Hey Lexus works as does Hey Google. I like that I can reach the touch screen as well for certain functions, so I use whichever I need to get done what I want at any given time.

2023 NX 350h pearl white and friend has same atomic silver. HUD 14 inch screen most options. Asked the other day on a scale of 1-100 how much do you enjoy your NX got a 100 and 98. Both obviously would buy in a heartbeat. Both six months old and both zero problems. Both averaging 40 mpg.

24 350h Clouburst with black, base trim with 10 inch screen, rear power door, moonroof. That's all my wife cares and wants.
Works for me, wrote that $51K check and save me some change. Not having to gas up every 5-6 weeks, priceless.

I have a 2022 NX350h in Grecian Water with Palomino interior in the Canadian Ultra-Premium trim (a.k.a. Luxury trim sans panoramic roof).

If I had to buy again, I would buy the same colour combo again and the same trim level (or maybe the full Luxury if there wasn't pano supply issues).

I can certainly see myself driving with the pano roof open most times if if had it because I like the big airy feeling it gives, especially in the summer. But there was no way I could justify the extra cash for the higher trim levels. Like someone said, I don't care if the rear passengers have heated or cooled buns and the HUD is more gimmicky to me; nice to have but not crucial or must have in any way. I have the larger screen, heated and cooled front seats, seat memory, full driver adjustable seats, wireless charger (which is finicky than any I've ever encountered! 🙄 ) And those are all that matter to me.

Car is my daily driver, will be a full one year with me in just under two weeks and currently has ~23000 kms (just over 14k miles) and is fantastic. I enjoy driving it and would do it all over again given the choice.

2023 450H+. I have always hand washed all my new cars the first year or at least uses touchless car wash in the winter. But this one only 7 months new have always been washed using non-touchless car wash. This alone tell you how much I love this car. If I am to replace this car right now I would be looking for a different brand altogether. I cannot love this car because of the software bugs of the multi-media system. Very often I will lose my Android Auto connection. One time I missed my highway exit because Android Auto was lost. It may also have to do with my Lexus dealership. It just feel low end compares to the Mercedes and Audi dealerships I go to for my other cars.
