I received a free week in this vehicle in exchange for my honest opinion. Read my Disclosure Policy.
So I spent the last week driving around in the luxurious 2016 Lexus NX 200t F-Sport SUV.
Pros:
//The AWD of this SUV was amazing. It was great on the rainy days I had to travel on the highway or around town. I didn't feel nervous once that I was going to spin out, slip, or be affected by the road conditions. I love a vehicle that can keep it's cool along with me.
//The NX 200t handled around corners and sharp turns exceptionally well. Surprisingly, the contents of my purse didn't spill out like I'm used to.
//The best way to describe the exterior of this SUV is sexy and fierce. I love the trim both inside and out but the headlights and the overall exterior design has such a badass look. And while it's an SUV it doesn't have a bulky appearance.
//I love that you can select the driving mode - there's Normal, ECO (fuel efficient) and Sport. I really love ECO mode because it truly had great gas mileage.
//The 2016 Lexus NC 200t F-Sport has amazing lighting on the inside and out. Tap to turn on the interior lights if you're rooting around for something and don't worry about driving at night - the LED headlights are fantastic. And for someone who squints all the time because driving at night means bright lights in my side and rear view mirrors - this vehicle was a miracle! Gotta love that sunlight reflection feature!
//The center console sits high up and I love it as not only an arm rest if I'm waiting in the car, but also it has amazing storage space.
//I have to say that the seats of this vehicle are the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in when it comes to driving. Even after a 2 hour drive I wasn't sore or stiff.
//I can't believe how much cargo space this SUV has. I love it!
//The temperature control and heating system is a true blessing and I didn't have to wait 20 minutes till I could comfortably drive to work in the morning.
//This vehicle has a great sound system with an eight-channel amplifier and 8 speakers! I also am in love with the Qi wireless charging tray inside the console box.
//The 200t has some great safety features like a roof impact system in case the roof is impacted, Whiplash-Injury Lessening front seats, and 8 SRS airbags. There's even a Pre-Collision System. Talk about peace of mind.
Cons:
//The amount of knobs and buttons on the front dash was a bit overwhelming for me. I tend to like more of a minimalist dashboard but I'm sure after a month in this vehicle, one would be used to where everything is and what it all does.
//It may be because I'm used to having large open windows in my current card but I thought the windows were a bit small, especially the windshield and at times I felt "cramped" in a way.
//Obviously this is an SUV so it will be larger than most cars meant to fit into a parking spot. Still, I found it relatively easy to pull in and out of a parking spot and while it was especially tricky to parallel park in the city, the backup camera helped!
Overall, this is a great vehicle for anyone that wants a comfortable ride, great technology, and PLENTY of cargo space!!! This is like the queen of SUVs to me!
