Finally, went with the NX300!!

After much research, test driving and soul-searching, ended up sticking with Lexus and got the NX300 a few days back, after a 3-month wait.

And so far, no regrets!!  Haven't yet quite worked out the ins and outs of the Infotainment system, but the voice recognition system is very impressive for Satnav and phone functions.  The lady's pronunciation of the names may be a bit funny at times, but overall it's so easy to use. 

And the cameras are pretty good - may not be as good as the Audi Q5, but that's a small price to pay for the unmatched Lexus reliability and service, which was the clinching reason to ignore all other luxury brands of mid-sized SUVs.

The one downside is with the Enform app, which is next to useless for Satnav functions. 

Drive-wise, it's pretty good and met all my expectations - it will take a little while to change the IS250 driving habits at times, but it is peppy enough and not as thirsty as one would expect. 

If there any hints and tips on useful short-cuts in using the Infotainment system, would love to hear from you.

And Lexus Brighton, thanks again for your amazing price and service!!!

Update after 3 months:

Had problems with the phone - dropping out, contacts list not loading okay, poor connections (couldn't hear the phone dialing), etc.

Took it to the dealer - and after quite a lot of trouble shooting, the problem turned out to be my music USB !!  It had a virus somewhere and once the USB was removed, everything worked perfectly 🙂 - thanks, Lexus Brighton, again!!!
