NX F Sport in hand, what do you want to know?
#2
I would like to know:
- real world fuel economy
- front seat comfort (how snug/tight the sport seats are overall)
- real world space in rear cargo area
- how flat do the rear seats fold
- your opinion of the headroom
- a look at the space in the middle console
- some shots of the Nav screen in action ... How it functions with an iPod connected etc.
Are the rims on the one in your picture the ones that come with the all-season tires or summer tires? Or does the rim option matter?
Thanks for the offer to answer some questions ...

Interested to know if the NX seats are just basically the same as the IS350 F Sport seats? Specifically how do the side bolsters compare; are they just as big? My wife currently has an issue with my IS F Sport seats bc she can't lay her arms freely on the side since she's a little petite. Feels like her arms are a little forward leaning like how guys puff up their chest in the gym and walk with their arms out wide.

great feedback! all noted and i will be evaluating all these aspects. i will probably post back regarding some of the items and cover the rest in the review
interesting to see comparison to rx fsport. my review on the rx fsport just went up today (gx and lx in the pipe) so i am definitely going to do that comparison

I had a fairly extended test drive today with the local dealer. The feeling I got was 'IS wagon' - in a good way. It drives fairly similarly to the 3IS with good body control. The ride was definitely firmer than the RX but not too firm, even in Sport S+. Also NVH compared to RX was a little noisier but nothing really intrusive.
One thing I really wanted though and was a little disappointed by is the screen. It really should be a little bigger and the resolution a bit higher especially when it's trying to show 3 windows at a time. If it were ~9" I think it'd be perfect.

It was the F Sport model, and the seats are virtually identical from memory other than the stitching pattern.

thanks for the info. i'll wait to hear what rominl's inputs are too. i don't know how big of a person you are (no pun intended) but my wife is 5'4" and has trouble getting in and out of the F Sport seats in our 3IS, even when the seats are put at the highest setting. i think her issue is the fact that the seat has been placed lower by an inch in the 3IS compared to the 2IS and the side bolsters on the thighs make it tough for her to get out. what was your take on the seats (getting in, getting out) now that they are in a higher level for the CUV segment?

is it a US production model? What options are on it. There are tons of rumors about some options that may not be available in the US - HUD, ML, BSM, RCTA, sunroof, wireless phone charging, 360 degree cameras, heated front seats, cooled front seats.
