Default NX Loaner

I had my 4RX in for its 5K service and got a 16’ NX200t as a loaner. My previous car was a 13’ Rav4, so I was excited to see what that platform would be like with Lexus comfort and a turbo. Have to say I was not impressed. I found the ride was much rougher, interior noise greater, and seats that squeezed my rib cage (I’m skinny!). My biggest disappointment was the engine. I was expecting a throw you back in the seats acceleration (like my old MR2 turbo), but was met with massive turbo lag. Sport mode did help this out a bit. I did like the handling and lighter weight of the NX.
I’m not saying the NX is a bad vehicle, I just prefer the ride and power (and looks) of the RX.

I really did not like the ride of the NX. It is rough and very un-Lexus like. Traded in a NX for an RX a few months ago.
