I brought my 2017 GSF for a free oil change last weekend. As usual Lexus gave me a new car temporarily for a day. This time the new car is 2019 UX200. The below is some of my thought on that UX...
Firstly I would like to say my wife's 10 year old M35X is still very satisfying to drive and ride!!! Both my wife and I still love M a lot even comparing this almost brand new car.
I had tried 2019 IS300, 2019 NX300 and 2019 ES300h this year. I think this UX is NOT as good as those Lexus I drove before... It felt kind of cheap inside, outside and its ride!!!
UX is also much cheaper than those Lexus cars I drove this year. So I think it's reasonable. Not every Lexus model is created equally... OF COURSE!!!
UX 2.0 liter is slow. But, if you are willing to push it to at least 4000rpm, it still feels as quick as my wife's M. But, it's new and quiet now. In the future you may get a lot of engine noise when getting old if you keep the engine rpm above 4000rpm!!! Of course if I push M to above 4000rpm, M will still feel much more powerful...
Both my wife and I could feel its 4 cylinder engine vibration sometimes but my wife's M engine(80k kms local and short distance mileage) is still quiet and no vibration at all.

Actually when I drove it, it didn't feel much more sporty(maybe a little bit but definitely NOT MUCH). However its ride felt like a Toyota instead of a Lexus which is bouncy and unstable sometimes!!! Both my wife and I think the suspension from my wife's 10 year old M is still better than this!!! I think the latest IS, NX and ES have a bit better/stable ride...
