Hi all,
Going to purchase my very first car this month. Been lurking on this forum for a month now and mostly decided on getting the CX-5 GT with Tech. However, having some last minute second thoughts about getting the Lexus nx200t instead. Right now I would not be using the car for daily commute - just groceries and weekend trips. The reason I'm hesitating is that I intend to keep the car for a long time (10 years?), and I will be using it more in the years to come.
I understand that nx200t is a luxury car, so it will be quieter, more reliable, etc. The other big draw for me is a more powerful engine (2.0T) with better acceleration. And it is only about 10k more.
I wonder if you guys have considered luxury versus affordable compact SUV? What drives your decision?
Also, am I right that I should expect the CX-5 to have lower insurance cost, but higher maintenance cost and depreciation?
Thank you very much in advance.
