Hey Corrado,

The NX is a MUCH better ride so far in the winter compared to my RX i had.
When it hit -15 and below, I would feel every bump in the RX (and believe me, there are quite a few "bumps" here as you know) and cornering had so much body roll. With this year being one of the longest coldest winters in a while, the NX suspension is absorbing everything and just sticking to the road. The RX felt jumpy in winter...the NX just drives through everything if that makes sense.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how it drives in the summer.
The RX in the summer was very smooth with little body roll and felt like you were just floating (in a good way). I have a feeling the NX will want to be pushed harder

^^^ Great to hear your experience is consistent to mine and that clearly the AVS makes for such a nice smooth ride.

Thanks so much for the breakdown of driving mode behaviours, that was great info.

@Nights yes the Germans are fairly entrenched here.
But then have you ever read the book The Dog & Lemon Guide? It used to be a phonebook sized print publication you could buy from newsagents for about $20. Now its online only and you have to pay per review. But its compiled by mechanics data for the Aus/NZ market and details reliability for all new and used cars across those markets.
It's controversial but it really opened my eyes a decade ago when I first read it. In terms of Australians perception of "prestige" brands, it exposes the fact that are lot of european cars are less than meets the eye. The info in it is pretty consistent with JD Power and other surveys.
