Im a Volvo guy, and my wife has been looking at the XC60 during their loyalty bonus period.

However, we have been looking at the Acura RDX as well. Today, I looked at the Lexus NX and was impressed. Anyone have any experience with it - looks like they just started making them in the '15 model year.

It's a glorified RAV 4 with a 4cyl turbo in it.

Too small for me personally. I like the look though, even though its size makes it a nonstarter for me.

by "looked at" I meant went to the dealer, test drove it, etc.

It is small, but its about the same size as the XC60.

I drove one before. It is pretty meh. My dad drives an LS that I drive regularly which is an awesome vehicle. I used to drive an LX for 3 years which was good as well. The nx model sucks though compared with other models.

Ive read it doenst handle nearly as well as its aggressive looks would make you think that it does. The engine also isnt as efficient as you would think. Basically, it is a pretty boring vehicle with nothing that sets it apart.

When they rolled it out I was intrigued. The almost universally bad reviews (bad value) scared me away. The RDX is the better buy imho at that price point.

RX is a much more comfortable vehicle, I found the NX to ride rougher and was obviously smaller on the inside. Not sure where you are located but I was able to get the RX in Houston for about the price I could get a NX in Baton Rouge. Price Leblanc would not negotiate any on their price, called a dealership in Houston and in the first phone call they beat Price Leblanc by $4,000

Buy a sedan. Luxury SUVs are garish and generally in poor style.

Unless you like to be up a little higher when you drive and you take a higher regard for comfort and function vs style

or in short get what you want
