Don't change a thing on the RX 350

by RBL4 from Norwegian Twp, Pennsylvania (7/10/08)
Pros:More power than the 330, Better Nav than the 330
Cons:none

Great car! this is my third... Started in 2000 with the 300 (85 thousand), 330 in 2004 (93 thousand) now have the 350. They work great in the snow as well as in nice weather. Great visibility... Love the blue tooth connectivity. Appears to get about 2 to 3 miles more per gallon yet it is a more powerful engine.

06 rx 330

by Daniel from Glendale (7/08/08)
Pros:interior design, cargo space
Cons:seats, engine, handling in rain

i have a 06 rx330 and have driven it for about 2 yrs now. I would have to say that it is the worst suv experience i have ever encountered. the transmision keeps slipping, seats are very uncomfortable for long drives, and most importantly the handling on rainy surfaces are beyond explainable. It feels like the car is on ice.
Truly noted, this will be the last time I will ever buy another lexus.

Everybody should have an RX350

by Tim Barnstable from Wellesley Mass (7/04/08)
Pros:beautiful upscale, fit finish, excellent, paint excellent, sound system excellent, cannot be mistake
Cons:none, I mean none

BMW are over priced and troublesome.
Lexus has the highest resale on the planet, everyone wants one.
The word lexus light up on all four kick plate inside the doors, very classic.
Leather is better than Ferrari, radio is close to Bose, standard radio to boot.
Looks great in a parking lot, on the road, projects class, and taste, unlike BMW and Mercedes which screams neuvo..

LOVE THIS CAR!

by Cammie from Milledgeville, GA (6/16/08)
Pros:Looks, easy of driving, fuel economy, TOO MANY TO LIST
Cons:space, TRADE-in not good!

I love this car! I traded my 2005 Tahoe in on this and even though I loved my Tahoe, I LOVE THIS CAR! It drives so smooth. I am getting MUCH better fuel economy on the Lexus. I did not get the DVD player on this and my daughter sure misses that! I was obviously able to fit more in the Tahoe, but we fit nicely in the Lexus. I love the power door on the back! EVERYONE notices the Lexus and that is good and bad at times.
I paid $36K for my Lexus and the list price was $41K. Mine does not have the Navi. system, DVD player or heated seats. (I miss the DVD player and the heated seats I had in my tahoe though!)
They only gave me $13K for my Tahoe and my Tahoe was LOADED with the big engine, leather, DVD, heated seats, 3rd row, etc and I only had 53K miles on it. I wish I had gotten a better trade in, but I still LOVE THIS CAR!

Happy Repeat Owner

by C.J. Walker from Universal City, Tx (6/11/08)
Pros:Power, comfort, luxury, extras, handling, quiet and smooth ride.
Cons:FWD can be hard to get use to.

I am trading a 2007 in this week for a 2009, like it that much! Folks that think it's not luxurious are buying it stripped. Mine has everything that Infiniti EX350, BMW X3, Acura, etc. in same class/price, plus. The only accessory it does not have is remote start and auto unlock/lock. They will have next year. Dealer is installing aftermarket above items for less than $300.00. Trade in was great, difference was the best I have had in years, and I trade every 2 years. Son has a 2002 Denali, and my Lexus can match it item for item and better performance, just smaller.

My Tahoe was more luxurious :(

by dallas girl from Dallas, Texas (5/07/08)
Pros:Good fuel economy, smooth ride, very zippy.
Cons:This is luxury??? Gimme my GM!!

Just bought the 350 two weeks ago. I traded in my 2006 Tahoe. I love the way this car handles, it's very zippy and not as large and clunky as the Tahoe. I got the Matador Red, which is just beautiful. My biggest complaint about this car is the fact that for a luxury car, the coolest thing is the telescopic steering wheel. The base model w/"luxury package" came at the same priced as a new LOADED Tahoe or Yukon (3 rows, DVD, nav, heated seats, leather, etc.). I'm not seeing where I should've paid for a name and am not getting any of the great amenities without paying a huge premium. As for gas, since you have to use premium in the Lexus, that's not a great savings either. I could've gotten way more with a Yukon and since I did a lease, it's not like warranty or depreciation was an issue. I'm disappointed in my first luxury experience...

Love it!

by Monica from Tulsa, OK (5/06/08)
Pros:Luxury, luxury, luxury
Cons:None

I have had my RX for a month and I love it. I have the nav system with the backup camera. Ride is smooth, power when you need it, drives like a car but has room like an SUV.

great ride and performance

by barry b from playa del rey ca. (4/17/08)
Pros:drives like a car with a great balance of luxery and not too soft of a drive perfect
Cons:none

traded away my 2003 tahoe for this ride
this is a major league in performance compared to the tahoe and i dont feel like it will flip over either ,
rides like a car without a mushy soft feeling .
love it
i don,t think LEXUS can make a bad car if it tried.ITS NOT IN THE COMPANIES DNA TO MAKE A POOR VEHICLE.
plus these RX have fantastic resale value.
