Wink NX Owner Satisfaction - Would you purchase the NX again?

For NX Owners with at least 3 months ownership to make sure the honeymoon period is over , if you could go back in time, would you purchase the NX all over again? Do you love the vehicle or perhaps you made a mistake?

Vote and post your comments!

Probably not.

Too many issues, and now i even have something weird going on with my left front wheel. I believe a wheel bearing issue?

Found it to not hold as much as I had hoped, it certainly filled up quickly and we don't even have a child yet.

The value is great for the car, but not sure I'm entirely sold on it anymore.

I'm a few days short of three months' ownership, but I think my "honeymoon" will last three+ years! LOL!

I would definitely do it again. It's my second Lexus.

In fact, the trailer hitch for my NX just arrived today and I'll be mounting that bad-boy soon!

Nearly one year of ownership and I'm a "Probably Yes". A small V6 would have made it an "Absolutely yes" even at the expense of some fuel economy.

Do you hear a clunk or tap in the footwell or lower door area every so often? I get this and I suspect it's the notorious brake pads shifting which you hear when reversing and hitting the brakes the first time....

Yes, I get it both of those times, and when I'm driving as well

We liked our fully loaded Luxury model so much... we already purchased another. Exactly the same, except the color. So easy to drive. I only wish they made a F sport with more options for the U.S. I had to satisfy my F craving another way. Added a RC-F to the garage last week because of the sweet deals on them at the moment. NX's for daily driving...and RC-F for a toy.

I prefer a more engaging car. I find the NX a bit underpowered and I don't like a lot of the safety interlocks. Too many beeps, can't turn off the camera which I find distracting at night. Wont stay in Sport mode etc.

Also, funny that you mention about the brakes pads shifting. I was telling my wife that it felt like a pad was dragging, but I couldn't understand why.

Is there a TSB out for this? My dealership is not the most accommodating, so if I could find something to show them, I might be a lot better off.

I know Toyota is notorious for brake caliper and pad issues. Heck, on my wife's tC, we had to pay $100 every 5k miles to get the rear caliper cleaned out because it would drag the brakes (and its a wide spread issue amongst tCs). Furthermore, saw a 2015 RX being delivered to someone a couple months back and you could hear it dragging a brake in the back.

Probably Yes. The NX 200t F Sport is an attractive sporty looking CUV. More power and better tech would make it perfect.

50/50 chances, i am about to finish 2 months on my new NX and i find touchpad distracting , gas mileage is not great - i mean even on the long journeys i just got 25 MPG best, not sure if it increases after the first oil change or something but gas mileage is not as advertised for now.

other than these two the toy is really great..!!!

We had our 300h for about 10 months now, it is my wife's daily driver, and she loves it. I get to drive it on the weekend and really enjoy it. I voted with the "Yes, but a different trim and/or options, color, etc.". There are a few things I wish were better on it, but the one thing I wish we had is the collision avoidance system, that would be a nice additional safety feature to have had on our car.

There are other things we wish were better as well, like a more powerful engine and a panoramic sun/moon roof would be nice, but overall we are very happy with our 1st Lexus.

I have the non-F Sport, luxury model with most of the (available in U.S.) bells and whistles and I love it. I would buy her again. I haven't had any significant problems to date.

I probably would not. I have the F-sport model and I think the 18" wheels look too small for the body. The motor sounds buzzy and not as smooth as a V6. I'm sure I'll go back to a sedan when my lease is up.
