To save some money. Also, I am only 5'8" and i feel that the NX IS a better fit.Both SUVs get good reviews. As long as you are happy with ahving a smaller vehicle you shouldn't have a problem with the switch.
What made you decide to downsize? Empty nest? Just downsizing to save some money since you didn't use the space anyway?
And welcome to the forum!
I just like lexus SUVs. I got the grey pearl colour.Good choice going with an NX.
Do you have need that SUV's like the RX and NX fulfill or do you just like Lexus SUV's?
What color did you get?
Today is only my second day of ownership but i really like it. For me it handles better than the RX.Now that you've had it for a bit, are you happy with the decision to downsize? Do you miss your RX at all?
Yup.Today is only my second day of ownership but i really like it. For me it handles better than the RX.
To an extent yeah, less weight to deal with, better turning radius, etc. But it's also in part due to how the vehicle is tuned, suspension being one of them.Generally it makes sense for a smaller vehicle to have better handling so I'm glad that's what you are observing with the NX. Let us know your thoughts as they come to you. Most people love the NX, but it doesn't come out on top in every comparison, so I'm sure there are a few things that could be improved.
My thinking is that premium is required for best performance. Mid-grade might be a good compromise. I have a RX330 and am also considering the NX. Good to know the handling is better.I mentioned in another thread that the "sport mode" is quite amazing. I like how it accelerates and speeds up. I wonder though how this affects mpg?
On side note, does the NX accept regular fuel or premium only? One thing I liked about the RX was that it runs on regular.
It might be best to get a thread going specifically for performance during sport mode that also covers what MPG is like.I mentioned in another thread that the "sport mode" is quite amazing. I like how it accelerates and speeds up. I wonder though how this affects mpg?

One guy as saying he was getting 23.5 mpg by using sport mode with a heavy foot.I mentioned in another thread that the "sport mode" is quite amazing. I like how it accelerates and speeds up. I wonder though how this affects mpg?

So ECO MODE is only half a mile better per gallon?One guy as saying he was getting 23.5 mpg by using sport mode with a heavy foot.
Are you expecting a lower mpg?^ that might be the case for now till engines are broken in officially and get their 'real' MPG number
We will.I still think we're going to see more then a few people jump ship from the RX to NX. I think Lexus may end up with a new volume leader on their hands when all is said and done...
