2. Not an owner but I looked carefully at them and almost bought an NX hybrid last year

Have owned Toyotas for most of my life. They are loaded with gadgets but the things that mattered were not superior to the competition. They were not comfortable (for the price) for someone my size. Headrest pushed my head forward; steering wheel is too large for my hands to grip comfortably. I hated the styling. The RX seems to be a better deal than the NX, but is too large for me. The UX is tiny, cramped, and wouldn’t work for me.

I have a friend who is much taller, and she bought a 2 year old one. She likes it but also finds it less comfortable than she hoped. It’s a very nice car but just not thrilling to her for the price. She had a German car before.

You might take a look at the Mazda CX-5 or another CX, depending on your needs. Not perfect and unfortunately Mazda refuses to build a hybrid version. But surprisingly nice, much less expensive than NX with comparable features, and highly rated by CR. The ride is not as good as CR says, but fun to drive for an SUV.
