    The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah, that's cool."

    Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly press vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, it's pretty nuts. Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later!

    This is the first time I have felt 'kinda' sorry for you during a POV drive. The UX is crying out for the 2.5 engine paired to the 8 speed or Hybrid system as found in the Camry/RAV4. They would have boosted power AND boosted fuel economy. 1 HP more than a Corolla hatch is not good enough at this price.

    • @name4379
      @name4379 4 роки тому +10

      I guess its for people who wanted to drive something like a C-HR, but wanted something more premium(can’t say this car is luxurious). Knowing people who would consider buying a C-HR, they are most likely never going to floor it.

    The only reason people are buying this car is the brand itself, the luxurious feeling in the cabin, reliable (not so sure about this, but they said Toyota makes good CVts) and gorgeous styling. They don’t buy because of the horsepower.

    Everything about the UX looks average except for the fuel economy. It's just an under-powered economy-luxury-car. Nothing impressive. Lexus wanted a reason to add more SUVs(lol it's a crossover) to the lineup to feed the ever-growing SUV/Crossover market.

    • @panzer_TZ
      @panzer_TZ 4 роки тому +2

      Basically, the UX is designed for the "I want to fit in with the crossover craze and have a Lexus badge to make that bitch in the next cubical jealous even though I can't afford a real Lexus" crowd.

      @theconformist2399 4 роки тому +1

      @普通の人 I dunno about "much better" power. The UX250h is still slow as hell. It just gets really good fuel economy. This isn't the car to buy if you're looking for sportiness.

    It sucks and his comming from a Lexus fan boy.
    Acura RDX is the best car in this segment, and even though it is fwd based they give you proper awd which can send 70% of the torque to the rear + it has tvd (and all that only for two grand more then top spec of this crap) . Lexus has oonly two grate cars today, LS and LC, everything elce is either obsolete or fwd crap based on Toyota vehicles.

      @@name4379I am, i really think that Toyota builds the best engines transmission and chassis ( they do have the biggest number of patients among car companies) and i hate German cars. But i think Lexus should never share these cheep platforms with Toyota. They wait for ne light rwd platform which they are developing with Mazda that will be in new is and new Mazda coupe and use it for this car, for new NX as well as Supra, which should have twin turbo v6 from LS and not be just rebadged bmw z4. I hope that at least next RX will be based on LS and LC platform (cos the concept looked rwd ish) and i hope GS will be back.
      You see they hold on to these crappy Lexuses, cos they have good sales, but the truth is it's exactly the reason that Lexus has worst sales than Germans as a brand. These crappy Lexuses spoil sales of cars like LS, which is being curently outsold by S class twice in numbers. Point is You can't be semi luxury and luxuri car company at once.

      @@user-hj2kq2vl6y The difference is, the new Supra isn't a rebadged Z4. They are different for more than 90% with the exception of them riding on a co-developed platform (even a different engine built with Toyota too hence the Inline 6 heritage which there are reasons why the TT V6 wasn't used too) then spent years developing their cars alone.

    I really do like the look of this. But the engine, transmission, and the infotainment are so bad, it makes the entire vehicle unbearable.
    Literally the only think Lexus had to do was put a 2.0T with the 10 speed auto THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE in the LS in this. But of course Lexus, like their parent company Toyota, loves ancient drivetrains.

      The engine and transmission combo was amazing when I tried out the new Toyota Corolla (both sedan and hatchback)... it just doesn't suit an entry-level luxury vehicle like this.
      Keep the engine but slap a turbocharger with an 8-speed gearbox. With the addition of giving the screen an access of touching it like with the facelifted RX.
