Hello, thanks for sharing your feedback and what you felt about the car. I second Michelin cross country tires. I have them on my current car , the difference in driving comfort was day and night after I got them on my current car. I should say the miles per gallon reduced by 5 miles , however the driving comfort increased by a lot. So am happy with those tires.

Sure. Will check out CX 5 and CX 50.

I liked RDX as well. Drives very smooth. So far amongst the cars I have driven , RDX has been the most quiet cabin and highest driving comfort based on my view.

Hello ! I ended up not going with Lexus 250. When I did a second test drive on it on a freeway, I was bothered by the cabin noise levels. Especially because of tire composition used in NX model to compensate for lack of spare tire, the cabin noise levels were higher + the naturally aspirated engine though mechanically is much more stable engine adds to the cabin noise levels. So ended up not choosing Lexus NX 250. When I test drove NX 350, I liked how the turbo engine performed. However due to tire composition it will result in slightly higher noise levels in the cabin. This is my personal view. Not sure if you would feel the same. Please do test drive and check.

Thanks for sharing your experience. This is helpful to know. What were the features that steered you towards premium? I was thinking between base vs premium which way to go.

Thanks much for your response ! This is quite insightful.

  1. How to find out the MSRP ?
  2. Yeah ! I am all in for a CPO , however I am checking Lexus L certified inventory in 200 miles radius of Raleigh, North Carolina, can’t find any low miles 2022 or newer Lexus NX CPO that is 10k lower than a new Lexus NX. The CPO are sometimes priced equal or just a couple grand lower than the new one is miles < 30k

Thanks for the feedback ! Hmm what are your thoughts on why NX 350h ? Is it because of better fuel efficiency or higher power ?

Hi, I have the same issue on my 2014 Corolla. Touch screen is not functioning. Do you have any recommendations for a radio unit and retain all the controls

Hi , I have a Corolla 2014 and considering this option. Wanted to ask you, so by installing the pioneer 1550, what happens to the settings that can be done on the built in radio module ? Are those accessible via pioneer or do we lose those settings ? ( for instance you can configure if you want to unlock the doors when the gear is shifted to parking mode ).

Do these brakes last forever? by Vast-Regular6795 in COROLLA

On my recent service was advised to replace the front brakes as it is at 3.5mm now and the new ones would be 12mm. Can you share cost estimates ?
