The NX200t has the characteristic Lexus smoothness, with superb ride quality over rough pavement and a quiet ride at freeway speeds. The only chink in its armor is a bit of busyness in the suspension when you get near and above 70 miles per hour, but that’s mostly a factor of the shortened wheelbase.

While Lexus is moving towards active safety equipment as standard, the NX is one of the last cars to get the treatment. As such, my car lacked any advanced safety features — even blind spot monitoring wasn’t optioned on this particular example. If these features are important to you, which I think they should be, I’d wait until the 2018 model year when they’re set to become standard kit.

Finally, I was disappointed in the fuel economy. Even with a pint-sized, 2.0-liter turbo engine, the NX200t I tested managed a meager 20 miles per gallon over a week of mixed highway/city driving. For a car this small, that’s unnecessarily thirsty.
