Is the 2023 Lexus NX 350 F Sport a better sport SUV to buy than an Acura RDX?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The NX received a full redesign from Lexus. With the F Sport you get a unique front frill, functional vents, unique wheels and painted wheel arches. On the inside there is a sport 2-tone interior, 14in infotainment screen, and digital gauge cluster. Under the hood is a 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 mated to an 8-speed automatic and power gets to the ground with AWD. Is the 2023 Lexus NX 350 F Sport a better sport SUV to buy than an Acura RDX?

You got it my friend.
Aside from that stellar-looking blue paint job, the black wheels with the color-keyed fender flares look just right. I'm so glad that they didn't go with the mat-black which is so common on other makes and models. I have to say that I've been really impressed with how this model has positively progressed since its debut a while back. However, I do agree about the odd decision to place that rear window wiper on the bottom rather than tucking it up underneath the spoiler. Frankly, I'd rather see the wiper completely gone as they did with the new RZ.
Great Vid!! Happy Birthday Steven!!

Toyota and Lexus have a remote start option on vehicles equipped with it through the key fob using a series of key presses. Press the lock button three times in a methodical even pace. If done correctly, the lights will flash a few time along with a corresponding beep different from the door lock beep.
I have a 2011 Lexus RX350 AWD. Phenomenal Crossover. 170K miles & it’s just as quiet & smooth as 2013 when I purchased. Would love to get a Miata as a second car (5-Speed Manual). The RX for smooth driving & the Miata for ripping around on sunny days. Driving nirvana!

Almost a perfect car. Lexus violated Raiti's Rule #3: no chrome on the exterior and interior.

Besides that, a beautiful blue machine!!

+3 on the HP no one will notice. The TTI in the RDX works just fine no issues and I hate fingerprints on screens. I felt the NX is cramped as well. The RDX in Sport Mode handles like a sports sedan I am extremely impressed with its performance and capability. Using the the Manual shift I noticed I don’t burn ads much fuel since Sport Mode holds the RPMs high. I usually drive in Comfort. I just purchased the RDX last summer and am very pleased.
