      I put 125k miles on my BMW with nothing more than routine maintenance. Owned a second one behind that. I've never had issues. I use good gas and keep the maintenance up...no different from any other decent car. I wouldn't buy one used...but that's more about my lack of trust in people, not the car.

    I think you should get the C8 and the TRX and then wait for 2021 because dodge might bring back the Charger/Challenger R/T AWD So that's what i think you still get a v8 with AWD and its still fun with enough power

    This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m looking to purchase my first Lexus as a daily driver to replace my current 2012 Altima. I was considering the Nx300 because I want the luxury, reliability, longevity, the features, the awd and the fuel efficiency but Im not ready to give up sedans yet. Although I’m going for the luxury trim and it is a pretty penny i feel it’ll be worth it in the long run, hopefully I’ll have this by this time next year.

    The car is fine. It’s nice enough, but that’s the problem-it’s only just nice enough. It’s plain Jane, underpowered, and seems to compete poorly with everything else in the same class. Other than the wealthy elderly who don’t care what they drive, I can’t see who else would be the buyer for this. I predict the 250 will be very short lived.
