Looking good Andy! Apart from the general handling of the car, which I know is very subjective, I'm interested in the fuel consumption. You have the same engine as I have in my F Sport IS300h, and after 12 months motoring I'm recording 42 mpg. The NX is heavier and not so aero dynamic so I'm interested to see how much the mpg is affected. I accept it'll take a while for that info to come out.

And, of course, the dreaded infotainment system. Any issues with Bluetooth connection, ipod connectivity, system freezes and all the other gripes that you can find on the 300h section of this forum.

Enjoy!!!!

In my experience (300h F-Sport, 3000km) 50%city, 50% highway (max. 150km/h) with "normal driving style" 7,9l/100km

Only city, 6,9l/100km

Outside city (not highway) 6,2l/100km

May I'm driving too slow, but I think not. Other experience with the same driving style with my RX400h highway+city 11l/100km, city 9,1l/100km, normal road 9,4l/100km.

On highway average speed about 120km/h, max 150km/h, average 9,2 L/100km

Outside city, not highway average speed cca. 72km/h, max 110km/h

BUT!!!!

You have to have experience with hybrid driving style.

The last 300 km was driven by my girlfiend in the city.

She drove more dinamic: just city 8,3l/100km.... thats also not bad, just a bit more...

After what seems like an eternity of waiting, my 300H has finally arrived.

F-Sport, in Celestial Black

Still getting to grips with the car. If there's anything I can help to answer in these early days of ownership - please dont hesitate to ask.

Congrats! Looks very-very nice :) Enjoy!

As per the title, has anyone noticed it?

It overlaps and makes a mess of things! Why make something so complicated! I dont understand the logic behind it.

It comes from the roof - distracts you when looking in the interior mirror, makes it uncomfortable for 3 people and its a faff getting it on and off and putting it back into the holder in the roof!

What kind of afterthought was this? Lexus make a good all round car but they sure do screw up on some things don't they?

Hi,

that could be a problem for all, who would use the rear with two ISOFIX child seats. In this case you can't use the seat belt in the middle. That's a poor technical solution from Lexus. :megaangry: :iraqi-info-minister:

Hi Michael

Glad to hear that you are enjoying the NX. I am picking mine up tomorrow. Lexus just quoted me £432 for insurance which i thought wasn't bad but admiral quoted me £250. I'm not that good at maths but i think Admiral is a tad better!

You'll have to let us all know how you are doing for MPG when you have had it a bit longer

Please give us a short review about first impressions.

I was looking for "forum nx" and this was the first on google...

One of the things I'm interested in is how it handles in the bad weather (UK bad that is). It's supposed to be a sort of 4x4 and if it copes with snowy/icy UK roads I'll be very interested. I know winter tyres are the proper solution, and in many places they are necessary if not a legal requirement, but for the sort of mileage I do it wouldn't be worth the trouble.

I'm not expecting off road capability but something significantly better than the IS250/300h rear wheel hopelessness would be good!

Hi,

I have just experience with the RX, with NX not yet . RX is very good for winter conditions. We are living on a small hill in the city. No problems with snow. By icy weather, the best "way" to stay at home :).

You just answered my other question that i didn't like to ask as it was a bit personal i.e.where are you if you aren't in the UK?

I know nothing about Hungary but it isn't the sort of place where i imagine Lexus having a big presence

You are right, Hungary is not a big market for Lexus but....

Last year are sold 108 new Lexus cars in Hungary. With this quantity they are reached a market share of 2,5%.

I would say, Hungary is not a big market for new cars....

In the last years all the big german models like ML,GL,X5,Q7 etc. have not the best image... because of the owners (users). Lexus has nowadays more the "culture" manager , the germans more or less the "bald and gym rats" image :arrrggg-matey: .

Hi,

Tomorrow will be a great day for you! Congrats, have a lot of fun with the car.

In my experience in the last ca. 1000 km the average is 6,9 Liter / 100 Kilometer. 50-50% highway an city in Hungary.

In the city (Budapest) about 6,3-6,4 l/100km, on the highway by max.140km/h about 7,4 l/100km.

My NX is an E-Four 300h F-Sport, 235/55 R18, with winter tyres.

Congrats to the car, Enjoy!

Hi Michael

Have you picked your NX up yet?

Hi Malcolm,

I'm driving it since a week and I love it.

Any questions?

Congrats to the car, Enjoy!
