Wondering if anyone has had this issue with their Lexus. (I have a 2026 Lexus NX360h Premium)

Took my dad to the grocery store, right as we were checking out I remote started the car with my phone to get the AC going. We got to the car opened the back, put our groceries in, then my dad got in the front passenger to wait while I ran into another store. Since the remote start states it’ll turn off in 10min I quickly hopped in the driver seat and turned on the car fully so he could sit in the car. The car shouldn’t turn off.

I walked in and forgot to ask my dad something, ran back out and asked him to roll down the window, it wouldn’t let him nor would it let him open his door, and even though I was next to the car with the key it wouldn’t let me open his door. I ran around to the drivers side and still couldn’t open the door.

The car was still on and I was standing outside with the key. My dad reached over and opened the driver’s door from the inside and ai was able to get in. What the heck happened. This scares me if I had my dog in the car. My car is only a month old so it’s not a dead key fob.

Also once we finally got the door opened I closed the drivers side door to see if it would lock me out again and it didn’t that time and opened right up.

Hi everyone,

I'm really torn between a 2023 BMW X3 and a 2023 Lexus NX 350h, and I'd appreciate some advice from people who have owned either (or both). I'm based in the UK.

A bit of background: I normally keep my cars for around 3 years before changing them, so I'm not planning on keeping this one long term.

I've test-driven both, and here's what I thought:

• Lexus NX 350h – I loved the tech and the interior, but it felt a bit cramped compared to the X3. When I accelerated hard, the engine also got quite loud.
• BMW X3 – It felt much more spacious, drove better, and was quieter under acceleration. However, it didn't feel as modern or as tech-focused as the Lexus.

My biggest concern is reliability. I know Lexus has an excellent reputation, whereas BMWs often get mixed opinions. If I'm buying a 2023 model that's still under the manufacturer's warranty and only plan to keep it for about 3 years, is BMW reliability really something I should be worried about?

For those who've owned either of these cars:

• Which would you choose and why?
• Have you had any reliability issues with a 2023+ X3?
• Is the Lexus worth giving up some driving enjoyment for the extra peace of mind?

I'd really appreciate any real-world experiences. Thanks!

Just got my 26 NX350h the other day. I’ve been through most of the settings but something is driving my crazy. The door lockout keeps getting set and unset. Today we pull in to Home Depot and my husband tries to exit the passenger door. He can’t! Either he or I needs to tap the lock button which is lit up. One of us taps that, the light goes out and he can’t leave. It seems to go on and off with no rhyme or reason that I can discern.

36 miles on and loving the car. Biggest bother for me right now is having to use a filler cap in the future. My last car of 12 years didn’t have one I had to unscrew. I feel like a Neanderthal!

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

​Hi everyone,

​I am planning to buy my very first Lexus! It has always been my favourite car brand, and I am currently looking at a 2024 Lexus NX 350h with a total budget of around £35k. I am planning to buy directly from an official Lexus main dealer showroom in the UK using a HP agreement because my goal is to fully own the car at the end.

​For context, I am upgrading from a trusty 2008 Toyota Prius, so I love the hybrid system but want a massive upgrade in luxury and modern tech.

​I have a few questions for the experts here:

​1. Feedback on the 2024 NX 350h: For those who own or have driven one, what is your real-world feedback on the comfort, tech, and motorway driving?

2. ​Buying from Lexus Showroom vs. Independent Traders: Is it a wise decision to stick strictly to the official Lexus approved-pre-owned network, or should I be looking at alternative car supermarkets/traders in the UK to get a better price?

3. ​NX 350h vs. Brand New LBX: With my £35k budget, I could alternatively get a brand-new Lexus LBX. However, it looks like a "baby SUV" and quite small compared to the NX. Coming from a 2008 Prius, will the LBX feel like a downgrade in cabin and boot space?

​Are there any other alternative models or aspects I should consider before signing the paperwork?

​Thanks in advance!

I had to have my windshield replaced on my 2024 NX. Now the heads up display is off. Almost makes you feel crossed eyed when you look at it. I’ve had two other people confirm it’s the same for them. It’s very distracting. I know you can turn it off but I don’t want to. I’m taking it back tomorrow to Safelite but I am curious if anyone else has experienced anything similar.

I found a decent deal at my local dealership online, but have some questions before i go pull the trigger...

1. it says it's a "no haggle internet price". is this a real thing?

2. can i request the CPO inspection checklist before even seeing the car or will they only show me that in their office?

3. Are there any standard features missing from the 2024 models that are in the 2025/2026 models that i need to worry about?

4. any reason to not get this car? lol

I'm about to pull the trigger on a brand new NX350h luxury trim in atomic silver and can't decide if I want Palomino or Rioja Red interior. My preference would be palomino but I worry about jean dye transfer issues with the lighter color. Can anyone comment how their palomino help up long term and did it require extensive upkeep? Is ceramic coating the interior highly recommended or is it a waste?

Anyone have upgrade the fog light? I see some like bi color led bulbs or change the whole thing to project light housing. But I can't much info.
