It is all subjective, take it for a test drive see how that works for you.

I sure did not sell mine, and not planning to.

Personally for me if you need a separate DD vehicle, there is a much better way to go about it - a sports car so you are not bored of that drive to work, or a comfortable sedan like somebody suggested. I would not get something like an LX if it was only for driving to/from work. But if you would rather have one vehicle to do it all - then sure, it delivers on all things except: sports car thingy, or top down scenic drive.

Don't read too much into that.

The lease was up. The LX is an extremely capable SUV. But for the buyout cost, etc. it wasn't right for us at this time. We never used the offroad capability and are moving on to a much more driver friendly vehicle. But that's not a reflection on the LX... it's great for what it's supposed to do.

Having said that, I maintain that it's not really a good daily driver for most people. Esp. not here in S. CA.
