I test drove every SUV in the same price bracket as the Nox - Hyundai Santa Fe (felt cheap), Kia Sorrento (didn't like the red lighting), Ford Edge (nice, but no cubbies for cell phones, ipod, lip balm, etc), Honda CRV (boring, not enough options), Nissan Rogue (too expensive), and the Terrain (just a little too masculine looking for me). After three months of extensive research from February through May 2011, and many ticked off salesmen, I settled on the 2011 LTZ 4 cylnder. Shortly after the purchase I started having the start-up problems, which was only a problem in a batch of vehicles with a build date from April through June or July. After the recall, I took my car in for repair in September and have not had a problem since. I have about 4,000 miles on the vehicle and the gas mileage keeps getting better and better (average gas mileage is 25 MPH - 60% highway/40% city). I just love my Nox. Even with the start-up problem, I would purchase a Nox again in a heart beat. It's beautiful, comfortable, quiet, head-turning, and has the most options I wanted in comparison to the above-mentioned SUVs. I can see myself still driving it in 10 years' time. :thumb:
