I bought mine from Quirk. Really disliked the salesman. Pushy, slimy, and unprofessional. His enthusiasm dropped by 100% once I signed the paperwork. "You guys took so long to read over the contract man... I really need to go home". I went with Quirk anyway because they offered a better price...

Bought 2016 GT with Tech yesterday, in Boston. Meteor grey. It's my first car ever... What are the first things I'd need to do? Clear bra?

My dealer is asking 29800, after $500 chase financing incentive, for 2016 GT AWD with Tech. He wouldn't lower the price any further. Is this a good deal? I'm in Boston, MA.

You guys have convinced me to look away from nx200t. Now, just as I was about to pull the trigger on CX-5, a friend has told me to look for last year's RDX. What do you guys think between 2016 CX-5 GT with Tech (30k) and 2015 RDX base (34k). Plus of CX-5: - more technology - LED lights, etc...

Thanks guys for the very helpful replies, as always :) Now... What about i-ActiveSense?

You've convinced me :) What's your view of the i-ActiveSense package? Sorry for asking such simple questions - I have never owned a car and I've only driven rental cars, so I really don't have a sense of whether these would be useful...

Hmm at least in the US, based on KBB, touring with Tech does come with Nav and also it requires Moonroof and Bose

The Tech package has Nag + LED lights. I wonder if there's a way to get the LED lights without Nav, e.g. how much would it cost if I install the lights by myself? From the forum comments I think the Navteq GPS isn't so great. I'm also pretty good with technology stuff and I'm pretty satisfied...

"homework" is precisely what I'm doing by asking here :) Anyway, thanks for your reply!

Good point on the resale value! I do hope to get a small CUV, so 4-Runner is not an option :)

Thank you for the reply. I'm in Boston, and a CX-5 GT with Tech here is around 32k after tax, whereas the nx200t with Premium and Nav is about 42k after tax. I don't really have an issue about the interior space - I'm not a big person! I did absolutely fell in love with CX-5 during the test...

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...
