Your reviews are the most detailed and complete I have ever seen. I got myself an MX-5 RF after seeing your reviews on it. This is not just a review but a tutorial. Well done.
Nice review... I like that you talk about the “feel” of the car. Also the POV and night view. Not many reviewers include that. I like the car, but that touchpad - yipes!
Excellent review. You are a natural presenter! Loads of attention to detail that most other reviewers miss or ignore or dont care about but we the viewers do. Great job. Cheers.
We bought the 2020 Base UX. We never saw this CUV as anything more than a 1, or 2 person car. The back seats are always DOWN. So if you get perturbed by a tight back seat, then buy a big, gas guzzling SUV. This car is about being light, maneuverable, frugal and nimble. It was built with DEEP concern toward long, long term reliability and quality. As far as CVT hum, I never notice it, nor listen for it. Perhaps reading how all the car pundits bemoan that "horrible CVT DRONE" has your O-C issues riled up. But that's you!😂 If nobody hadn't mentioned it, I probably never would've noticed it, nor cared...Still don't! I love this vehicle. It has been perfect for 33,000k miles in mountain country, attaining a 30 mpg average from day one. Darn good for where we live. Our last two (Lexus ES) went 220,000 and our favorite GS is approaching 300,000 miles. THAT'S getting your money's worth!😊
First of all bro your hair is amazing!!! Great review, i actually just discovered your channel. very detailed info and great footage! Lexus UX looks nice but the cvt is a hell no for me.
I would take the 200 over 250h. When the hybrid battery dies it will probably cost more to replace than the gas you saved. Less tech to go wrong, more reliability.
craigmak if you follow the hybrid system it’s typically upwards of ten years before the possibility of needing any servicing let alone replacement which costs about $7k at dealer. If you do it. Yourself(check out ChrisFix) you can do it for under $2k.
I agree, I think Lexus does a better job with giving customers the "Lexus" experience across their line. Entry-level Mercedes and BMW? Not so much- they just come off as cheap. (Maybe Mercedes fixed this issue with their latest A Class sedan but their history in this regard is poor).
Negative about what? I just saw one in the flesh and was very surprised at how nice it was for the price. The F sport version with red interior looks very sharp. That's coming from a BMW driver.
Thanks for the great review, I like where you said what options and parts came down from other Lexus models, other reviews haven't mentioned things like that.
Forrest, a suggestion. You call out the "cool lights at night" at 4:30 but you do not show it until later. Next time, cut in your nighttime B roll (which you show at the end) so we can see the taillights, instead of you explaining it. It's a video, not a podcast ;-)
The UX has the same engine the new Corolla XSE sedan - 169 horses. Both have a panoramic sunroof. The infotainment system in the Corolla is better because you can actually touch the screen. I wonder what the price difference between the vehicles will be. You can get the Corolla XSE with a manual transmission also. Why no mention of the UX weight and 0-60 mph?
Affordable yes but not for a lease! The lease option for a $37,000+ model as of May 2020 is for 36 months 10k yr miles with $3995 down and 720+ credit score will come out to about $626mo. You'll be paying 60% of the cars price for 3yrs. Not worth it. Remember the price shown on the commercial is for 7,500 miles per year.
The exterior design look good but when come maintenance like car wash the surface not smooth or easy to clean bugs and dirt can get into those whole grill...
If you look at this as an suv, it’s eh... but if you look at it as like an off roady hatchback, it’s amazing, put some wheels and roof racks and a light bar on it and you’re Gucci. Plus with the hybrid you get like 40mpg everywhere. Basically a lifted CT200
For this price I would rather buy the fully loaded signature edition of Mazda CX-5 with 250 horses under the hood, much more space and frankly even better looking than this UX200.
No touchscreen, no customer, Lexus shouldn't be so stubborn, they really should add touchscreens, if they don't like people using touchscreens, then they could add a hmi commander like Mazda has.. problem solved, and I'd rather go for a CX-5 Signature 🤷🏽♂️
I'm not a big fan of touchscreens, either. Underway on anything less than the smoothest road, touchscreens are also difficult and distracting. But I generally agree with you that this "mouse" interface is garbage. Forrest referenced "muscle memory" (25:35), but with this trackpad design there _can_ be no muscle memory. If it were a dial or even Acura's "screen direct mapping" pad, muscle memory could work, but it can never work where the gesture is swipping or dragging and clicking.

Great review Forrest. You have captured and communicated the essence of Lexus qualities perfectly.
I miss your reviews!
Great review. I just got the 2020 UX 200. I love it so far. 😍
Anything you don't like about it? I'm eyeing on this car at the moment.
@@PreludeSon It's a great car. Have nothing really bad to say about it. Get the hybrid only 2000 more and comes with AWD.
First of all bro your hair is amazing!!! Great review, i actually just discovered your channel. very detailed info and great footage! Lexus UX looks nice but the cvt is a hell no for me.
That cream color with the black is a nice getaway from the generic beige and tan color schemes.👍
Great review Forrest! All UX needs is a F model and Android auto! Try to get your hands on the UX 250h, it's the variant to get 😎
Kirk Kreifels it comes with Android auto and apple car play this year and f sport. Yay!!
I would take the 200 over 250h. When the hybrid battery dies it will probably cost more to replace than the gas you saved. Less tech to go wrong, more reliability.

I have the 250h f sport - it does well.
Basically it is Lexus version Toyota CH-R. Very nicer n person and for $2k better with UX250 hybrid awd
Thank you very much! Liked, subscribed and shared. My absolute favorite RUclips channel by far.
Just got my ux250h f sport two days ago. Came from a ls460. Like them both but I love the UX. Reminds me in some ways the CT I used to have!

Great Review Man. Very Positive. A lot of reviews I have seen for this vehicle have been quite negative.

Great little car

@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial Alternatively its the bigger brother of the Toyota chr. Same platform and internal similarities.
This was an excellent review!, nice job!
Thank you for this very nice review! The car looks very good. 👍
Greatings from Germany!

Love your channel and your videos and your hair
Great review, good job

Thanks, very good review. UX looks somewhat small but great price.
Can you really see the air pass through the taillight? How cool, I've never seen air anywhere.
Very informative, thanks so much!

i miss sequential turn lights for such a high price !!
It find it hard to cope with his regular "you're going to have a ........ here" instead of "this is ........".
Good review
Great review buddy
The interior dashboard look similar with Mazda
Love the intro bro

Looks gorgeous
Not too bad an offer for the price. But, 7:32 that doesn't sound very solid. Great review
F SPORT = NO COOLED SEATS. MSRP may be ok but lease rates are TERRIBLE right now. Also, cant find one with NAV or the Luxury package ANYWHERE!
Shout out to FTW!
The background music, it's korean but i can't remember what song it is it's driving me crazy lol
Gerlach Jacob use Shazam
I like how all these car reviewers keeping saying ‘leather”. All Lexus cars use Nuluxe with rare exceptions

Do you mind if I ask what sweater you are wearing?
I still take the Cx5 over this with $36k
With the turbo engine? Absolutely. It's probably safer, too.
Same
I've noticed some reviews recently saying "not real stitching" ... my question is, how do you know if it's real or not? 😆 it looks so good either way!
@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial Oh I see Forrest... dont get technical now! Haha but yea I agree!
No spare tire?
That’s a new thing now?
Jason Kattwinkel unfortunately
Why would anyone buy this over a RAV4 at that price point?
So why would you buy a Porsche Cayenne over a Volkswagen Touareg?
They are built on the same platform and they share the same V6 engine.
You mean CHR?
Who's mans is this ?
No touchscreen, no customer, Lexus shouldn't be so stubborn, they really should add touchscreens, if they don't like people using touchscreens, then they could add a hmi commander like Mazda has.. problem solved, and I'd rather go for a CX-5 Signature 🤷🏽♂️
I'm not a big fan of touchscreens, either. Underway on anything less than the smoothest road, touchscreens are also difficult and distracting. But I generally agree with you that this "mouse" interface is garbage. Forrest referenced "muscle memory" (25:35), but with this trackpad design there _can_ be no muscle memory. If it were a dial or even Acura's "screen direct mapping" pad, muscle memory could work, but it can never work where the gesture is swipping or dragging and clicking.
alliejr Get one then you will have muscle memory I have no problem after a few days, honestly it’s just people crying just to cry
Don't mind the touchpad better than reaching for a touchscreen
Does this replace the CT?
No
Yes
TheDoltonboy ct200 was a hatchback, the UX is a CUV
Yeah it sits maybe a inch higher? It replaces the CT as the level entry lowest priced Lexus one can buy. The CT and UX are near identical in size
TheDoltonboy the CT Is comes only as a hybrid and front wheel drive the UX can come in different variations including hybrid and AWD
That car is certainly not entry level...
CVT? Ugh.
360p squaaaaaaaaaaad
