One of the best reviews you've done - too many highlights to pick out. As a bungalow dwelling, Honda driving retired middle manager who does his recycling I was quite literally drooling by the end. Hugely re-assured with your struggles with the radio - it's not just an age thing!

The CD player is a sign that they are in touch with the target audience. My Dad's only complaint about his new Honda CRV is that he can't play his CDs.

Lexus hybrids make great real world cars. They're not cars for sporty drivers, but for 90% of the time, they're an absolute pleasure to drive. Comfortable, economical, relaxing and built like a tank.

Good review - very fair and accurate.

I’m getting older than I’d admit, I really want one now

Lexus is the king of quality in the automobile industry (in terms of materials and long-term reliability).

This is the car I ended up buying instead of the Audi Q5. I absolutely adore this car!

Lexus are great if you're OCD, don't like going fast and don't want to spend loads of money on repairs. Great video again.

My parents have a 2016 RX they bought in 2019 before the crazy price increases. It has 90, 000 miles on it and they will most likely be able to keep it for another 10 years. It's a great ride, very safe, and with as many tech features as one could want. It has adaptive cruise control, a big 12-inch navigation system, keyless entry and go, a power liftgate, ventilated and heated seats, rear air-con, lane departure warning, and BSM, it really is the whole package. Every time I ride with them it is very serene inside. The suspension isn't so firm, the v6 is smooth, in traffic you don't hear cars or the outside very much at all. It does everything so well. If I wasn't a committed wagon man, I would buy one. An added plus, it's fairly old now, but there aren't any creaks and you wouldn't be able to detect its age.

I love your metaphors, always puts a smile to my face! The way you execute them with a pause, it's very refreshing!

My Lexus is 15 yrs old and drives like new, interior leather is perfect, no cracks, no fading.

[lucagualato]

I have being driving this car since 3 years and I can only say your review is simply perfect! People shall drive this vehicle to really understand the great feelings it communicates

[blazingsaddle]

Great review - very comprehensive overview of this awesome car. The small details are important & you delivered this in spades. It's a little outside my price range but this review has made me take another look at Lexus.

[brianmorrissey]

Seriously though. Probably can't go wrong with one of those. And kudos on the CD player Lexus

[garysmith]

What a great review I would love one of those now I’m 60 years old and have a shed full of cd’s 😂

i love how lexus combines old school and new tech. this is exactly what i am looking for in a modern car if i was to buy one. it is great that they are brave enough to not follow every trend and know what their customers want.

Hi Matt, I own one of these... Couple of points, you can configure almost all of the chimes and alarms to be off if you want via the settings (not especially intuitive though). I think you will find the CD player is also a DVD player as well - for all those old movies us fossils love to watch as we drive along at 3 mph... ;-) As for the off road ability, may I suggest you check out the Fifth Gear TV review where they took one slightly off road and were astounded at how good it actually was... There are also some mad videos from Russia where they have done crazy things with these in frozen forests etc. It's obviously no range rover, but how many range rover owners venture far off the tarmac??? In short, as you said all the car you ever need... and for those other situations I also have an MB sports for whenever I feel the need to test autobahn speeds.

[mpersad]

I absolutely love that they have the CD player! And it's not Max Bygraves it's Joy Division!

[antwonefernandez]

Excellent rant about the beeps, some cars it’s optional for these noises, given the overall tech in this car it should be too I guess. Great work as always. 👏🏼

[stephenlane]

Nice review Matt worth waiting for! I like this Lexus NX300h too, very compelling! Love the technology at the right price. Can see why this is so desirable in the UK and a big seller!

[UldisBiz]

Absolutely love your reviews. While it is a review of a vehicle I occasionally have a chuckle hearing your amusing comparisons and metaphors. Not only they are good reviews but very entertaining as well. Keep'em coming.
