It blows my mind that your videos don't get more views and you don't have more subscribers. The quality and layout is better than any other. I keep waiting for your channel to explode. Keep up the good work my man!
I hear alot of people saying they don't like the looks of the new lexus models. I think they look freaking awesome. I think they look 100 times better than alot if other newer cars on the market
GREAT review! You are the FIRST reviewer that has gone underneath, and really took the time to look at engineering and mechanical details! You nailed it with the interior review, and gave a really honest and balanced look. THANK YOU for these kind of reviews and look forward to more! Just a small note; I wish the mechanic had more insights to add, instead of being slightly awkward comic relief. Don't get me wrong, I like his contribution, just wish there was more of it.
Cruz er Thanks for all that feedback on this, we are trying to find a balance between providing real info without turning it into just a canned suck up fest. It's hard.
I have seen your other vids after this and Turbowski is the man! I wrench and mod my cars, so I really appreciate his insights as someone who works on cars. Keep it real man, your reviews are great because they are REAL. If I see another "The Fast Lane" car vid review I will stab my eyes out. You should make a comedy skit of those toolbags
I would honestly give the NX a break here, if you want a super nice SUV, get a better job, earn the money, and upgrade. If you continuously lower the price of a Lexus, eventually, you will end up with a Toyota. The more money you throw into a Lexus, the nicer it becomes. I hate when people complain about budget plastics in an expensive car, what other material are they suppose to use? If you want it leather covered, pay an upholster and quit complaining. People spend way to much money on cars that will only depreciate and leave them with a worthless asset at the end of it's life. If you want more expensive things, focus on alloacting capital towards assets that appreciate as opposed to ones that depreciate. That is the ultimate key to financial stability and economic wealth. Either that or you can keep playing the lottery hoping to hit it big. Lexus is known for reliability, affordable repairs, and its quiet, comfortable interiors. In order for Lexus to do that, it helps to share parts with Toyota which makes repairs significantly cheaper, and are much more available.
I've been driving my Lexus NX for 3 months now and I love it! It stands out from the other boring-looking SUVs. Got the Eminent white pearl, it shows better the aggresive lines of this car. I do agree on the infotainment and the slow power hatch, and the sensitive capacitive vanity lights. Fuel economy around 24mp combined.
That’s the Lexus way. My 2011 LS 460 has 135k miles and only required two repairs (a leaky fuel pump and a coolant leak into the engine). Super happy with how good it’s been.
Really appreciated the in-depth review up on the lift underbody review, engine compartment, and drive handling. The best review that covered the concerns that I had planning a used purchase of this model. Thank you for the excellent review.
Excellent video, great true review. I liked the fact that the undercarriage of the vehicle was displayed and specifications clearly described. Amazing! I wish that other TH-camrs would do the same. A true car review is not only the looks of the car, but what's under the hood.
There is nothing STRANGE or AWKWARD about this SUV. I just purchased a 2019 NX 300 FSport. The most awesome vehicle I've ever owned. I've owned Volvos, BMWs, Infinity, BMW and lessor priced vehicles. The quality and dependability of Lexus, surpasses them all.
Ryan The same could be said for all of these smaller CUV models. The BMW X1, Mercedes GLA, etc. The whole segment is a compromise between car and SUV which results in you not getting any of the benefits of either.
@@moloono1 But it also results in you not getting the drawbacks of either. I think its a little unfair to say that you don't get ANY of the benefits of either. That's not true, if you get these smaller sporty SUVs you get a quicker, lighter and more compact car than a conventional SUV, and those are - in part - benefits of sedans and hatchbacks. So the truth is that, with these models, you do sacrifice indeed PART of the benefits of being a conventional SUV in order the gain IN PART the benefits of a sports sedan or hatchback. Its a mid-term/moderate car. Thats why it sells so damn well.
I got a 2016 NX FSport AWD. Loving it. All my Previous cars were SUVs. I need to sit higher than coupes/sedans or I am not comfortable. If NX adds 6 cylinder next year, might trade it in. 2016 RX is too big now. And I love the rear power door. No issues for me. Btw good video overall. At times it sounds like u are going to be sarcastic, and you are, but u stay on the right side of the line.
Trying to hard? This is best looking car in its class. Very aggressive. Like it or not it as a ton of character. I find the front end to be great looking very bold and stands out from the Germans. Interior looks great as well. I think version 2.0 and up of this NX is gonna make it great car for Lexus The engine is really impressive ! I agree this engine have potential cant wait to see what else it came do. Nice to see Toyota back in the Turbo game
It's definitely unique but boy this was one model that absolutely everyone I usually talk to says had a horrible front end. Now that means nothing, its all personal taste. It's just one of those love it hate it designs. But overall there is so much good like motor and interior if you are a Lexus person this is gold.
I agree it is gold. The NX actually just won a test in motortrend where it was put against all the Germans car and came out on top. As a first gen model I think it's doing a hell of a job
I love the design.. there's nothing like it.. and it's just that suv that once ur driving it down the road it will turn alot of heads.. I guarantee you
You guys do such a nice refreshing job on these reviews. I never get the impression your looking for a new sponsor. Looking forward to your next review.
I am really blown away by the introduction montages on these videos. Do you make them, or does someone else have input in the production? Because they could legitimately be television ads and I couldn't tell the difference. Great work, looking forward to more!
Agreed, unfortunately very few 3.5ltr v6 SUVs on the market and the RX350 has that engine. Guess they were looking at a price point when putting the NX package together
Name one other company that takes partying seriously? We don't want to have to use our manuals like everyone else! Chop your breakfast on a mirror... like geniuses say :)
Seriously, I have learned more about cars from your videos than I did in 2 years working at a gas station changing oil. This is some serious car nerd shit, love it. Thanks.
I actually really enjoy your reviews and appreciate your sense of humor. I’m considering either the Lexus NX 300 or the Lexus ES 350, but not sure which of these vehicles would be best, mechanically speaking. Which would you suggest?
Good job, bro. Nice to see you used the move footage. $45,000 with plastic fender flares is unacceptable. That and the horrible front end is enough to turn me away from that pile.
You're right about this engine having potential, I believe they are making a IS200t with this motor for around 240hp and replacing the IS250 I think possibly in 2016 or a little later
Another awesome review. I just subscribed. And I'm surprised that you don't have three times as many subscribers by now, but eventually you most likely will. Excellent analysis, as in your other reviews. And excellent video footage and editing. I appreciate your smart, insightful, thoughtful, and hold-no-punches approach to reviewing cars. Please keep it up.
I bought a cert p-o'd 2015 200t AWD...unfortunately a year before seeing this! I didn't get the F-Sport due to that fugly grill - newer models look a LOT better - but now I really miss the bolstered driver's seat. Oh, well, it's only $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. right? Still, I enjoy driving it, and this vid did a great job describing the experience. A few confounding annoyances, but overall pretty pleasant.
Not much corrosion resistance to the underside? I had an RX300 that was pretty rusty after 8 years of ownership, seems like not much has changed at Lexus with regard to this, I thought corrosion issues with modern vehicles no longer existed, I guess not if you own a Lexus less of course you reside in sunny California, as you point out it looks pretty low tech on the underside, not liking the alloys offered by Lexus either, I guess you'd have to go after market wheels to get something stylish.
Yup. I love it so much. I tested drive X3, X4, GLC and Lexus. I ended it with this baby in atomic silver. It is the best looking compact suv in my opinion.
I want this car. This car looks sexy in black with the F-Sport grille. In other colors, this car looks okay, but in black and maybe even blue, this car looks sickkk. I'll get this car one day when I can afford it lol
Just discovered your reviews and you do a great job pointing out the pros and the cons. Any chance of reviewing Acuras (RDX in particular) in the near future?
You are a legend. Phantasy Star Universe is my favorite game of all time. Not sure if you are familiar with it at all or if this is just a sample but, props either way.
Got a CPO one for my mom the other day. Chose between a RAV4 Adventure and an F-Sport NX. If you can do away with Apple CarPlay the NX is hands down better. For the same price essentially and amazing CPO rates/Lexus service I would look into one. The build quality and design make this great. I have a V6 Lexus RC and the turbo engine in this is more than enough. Makes me want to get an NX.. same feel just with 4 good seats and a big trunk.
Do an review for the new 2018 NX300, they fixed the infotainment system. I wish they would put in the 8 speed transmission but the 6 speed does the job.
2:59 Exactly! They went overboard. Added 2-3 cars worth of design elements. Which is why *Mazda's Kodo (Soul of Motion) Design* is supreme. If they can update the info ctr I'll take a Mazda over any over engineered/designed Lexus.
I test drove a f sport and didn’t buy because they didn’t have a color I want. But fuck I can’t wait to get it, it’s just so much better than a lot of cars out today
Analog clock and the front end external styling is very subjective, boils down to individual preference. I like how easy it is to read a clock one glance to a analog clock. But you got to read every single digits of digital clock. Styling is very bad ass to me
I like how you review cars? Very informative , anyways, in relation to my previous question , hope you compare it with vw 4motion? Which is better and reliable? Thanks
Spot on! But love the front grill!!! Good to see Toyota for once making an attractive car! The IS sport also looks amazing! The touchpad, clock and the infotainment system suck big time!!! WTF were they thinking? Like the rest of the Toyotas, no Android integration - another bummer! And not cheap!
Fast forward almost two years later, and I haven't heard of any issues with the Toyota/Lexus 2.0 turbo issues as the smart-ass mechanic suggested. Oh, well. I love the looks of this vehicle!
You're spot on with the front end design. It, along with many recent Toyota products, e.g. Camry, Corolla, etc., looks like a face with a broken chin. The design was probably inspired by Darth Vader. It doesn't work on a car, any car. Ugly, Ugly, Ugly!!!
these compact suvs have no place in the market. Like you said for that kind of money just go buy a really nice sedan, or hell go buy a hot hatch if you want the versatility and the sportiness. For that money you can get a Golf R, or Focus RS. Sure you won't get the luxury but if you're buying this for spirited driving your better off with either of the previously mentioned hatchs. Theres no point to making a compact suv never mind a "sporty" compact suv. Thats what hatchbacks are for. I honestly think these car manufacturers are trying to kill off the regular car market. They see the success of crossovers and are now trying to double down. midsize crossover instead of midsize sedan or fullsize sedan, and now compact suv instead of compact car. They even have a sub compact suv segment which cars like the Nissan Juke, and Fiat 500X belong to. Its really getting ridiculous.
So they add a canister to muffle the Turbo noise, but then add engine noise through the speakers but use fake engine noises? That’s just stupid. That’s also (in my opinion) one of the fugliest vehicles I’ve seen, the only two mass produced SUVs that are worse that I can think of are the Nissan Juke and the Pontiac Aztec
Amazing review in the very last thing he said at 2815 is you didn't understand why you wouldn't get a car over this and the answer are two simple words I don't even think mentioned "car seat" you don't want to spend years of your life putting a child in and out of a car seat when you're bending down to your knee level. I did it in my 3 series and I would rather drive my wife's Kia and put up with that
Its the same system in RAV4 very reliable and un complicated, however you cant manually enable the 50/50 split except under 20MPH. So its wheel slip and yaw rate activated when you need it. Otherwise is fwd.
The negatives are definitely on point - Our '17 F is definitely a little rough over choppy roads, the transmission is a little slushy, and the infotainment control is not great (as well as voice commands). Overall I love the vehicle - those would be my only real gripes. I will be looking closely between this, the RX, and the RDX down the road. A little more space would be nice, and the Acura caught up in a big way in 2019.
It blows my mind that your videos don't get more views and you don't have more subscribers. The quality and layout is better than any other. I keep waiting for your channel to explode. Keep up the good work my man!
Thanks for the well wishes. Hard work will pay off eventually, we think.

Slow & Steady Wins The Race💪🏽🍀
The camera work in the intro is just incredible! Puts professional television production studios to shame, wow!

You have ruined my desire to watch almost any other car review channel. Love your reviews, and I always watch the ads;)

I ve seen so many reviews on youtube so many guys from all over the world and yet i must say that your job is absolutely perfect Bravo go on please
this era of your videos is why is subscribed....simply the best cine-tog etc....thanks
In the review the tire pressure is 39/40 psi..that is one of the factors contributing to the CHOPPY RIDE QUALITY

so an optioned out CX-5 is a better buy?

great review as usual ,can you tell me what kind of car you own ?
Looking at buying a 2015 and found this review. Thank you!
Did you buy it?
I love Lexus' new styling actually. The front spindle grill is so appealing to me.
how its consumption at such a car ? have the ct 200h ,F sport and its about 5.5 summrt and in the winter 7.
Analog clock and the front end external styling is very subjective, boils down to individual preference. I like how easy it is to read a clock one glance to a analog clock. But you got to read every single digits of digital clock. Styling is very bad ass to me
wonder what this 2.0L would be like in the FR-S since its twin scroll, even though the HP is 235 power delivery would maybe be better in the FR-S
I like how you review cars? Very informative , anyways, in relation to my previous question , hope you compare it with vw 4motion? Which is better and reliable? Thanks
this is so well done it's mind boggling
Awesome review once again!
Gorgeous interior. Only thing I don't like is the trim piece on the passenger side dash. Seems pointless.
your reviews are the best!
Spot on! But love the front grill!!! Good to see Toyota for once making an attractive car! The IS sport also looks amazing! The touchpad, clock and the infotainment system suck big time!!! WTF were they thinking? Like the rest of the Toyotas, no Android integration - another bummer! And not cheap!
just found you on youtube. Good vids, where are you at?? Looks like southern IL
Northern IL.
Fast forward almost two years later, and I haven't heard of any issues with the Toyota/Lexus 2.0 turbo issues as the smart-ass mechanic suggested. Oh, well. I love the looks of this vehicle!
+Eleanor Massaro Check back when outside of warranty and see how carbon buildup is on intake side. Need more miles to see how motor responds.
good luck on that. Keep waiting. Lexus is number 1 brand in term of reliability. I bet Lexus engineers are much more smarter than that mechanic
i doubt that very seriously. Lexus better be reliable for what they charge for a Toyota with nice carpet.
Angel bluerider I don’t have an NX. Been driving a 2010 RX for 10 years. Still drives great! I have 120,000 miles on it

They even have a sub compact suv segment which cars like the Nissan Juke, and Fiat 500X belong to. Its really getting ridiculous.
Great Review!!!!! Love your videos.
Dude never smiles
Does he ever like anything ???
do they still make this car? I can't see it on Toyota website.
So they add a canister to muffle the Turbo noise, but then add engine noise through the speakers but use fake engine noises? That’s just stupid. That’s also (in my opinion) one of the fugliest vehicles I’ve seen, the only two mass produced SUVs that are worse that I can think of are the Nissan Juke and the Pontiac Aztec
Amazing review in the very last thing he said at 2815 is you didn't understand why you wouldn't get a car over this and the answer are two simple words I don't even think mentioned "car seat" you don't want to spend years of your life putting a child in and out of a car seat when you're bending down to your knee level. I did it in my 3 series and I would rather drive my wife's Kia and put up with that
I wish Lexus brought back The Coach Edition Packages👌🏽
Hi, is the awd system of the nx200t good specially in heavy rains? Pls advise
Its the same system in RAV4 very reliable and un complicated, however you cant manually enable the 50/50 split except under 20MPH. So its wheel slip and yaw rate activated when you need it. Otherwise is fwd.
Thanks
that's well-made review. I have the NX and i got to admit, that their infotainment software sucks...
The negatives are definitely on point - Our '17 F is definitely a little rough over choppy roads, the transmission is a little slushy, and the infotainment control is not great (as well as voice commands). Overall I love the vehicle - those would be my only real gripes. I will be looking closely between this, the RX, and the RDX down the road. A little more space would be nice, and the Acura caught up in a big way in 2019.
think the alloys just look wrong. it should have been 19inch standard for the f sport and needed a different design.
I thought you said the next five were "Cars"?! lol Another great review!
Haha I promise, next 4 are cars after this.
At 19:28 is that Afro Sheen on the headrest behind Marc's head?
Love my '15 IS. Agree with the infotainment and clock being shit. It's a shame considering how great the BMW units, etc are.
LOVE YOUR videos
what is the music from 0:27 - 1:22?
3 years late, but its "For Brighter Day" from Phantasy Star Universe. This version sounds like a sample, but great nonetheless.
