CPO 2008 RX350 AWD

Bought my CPO 2008 RX350 just a few weeks ago, already put 700+ miles on it. Ride is butter smooth, especially helpful over horrible NYC roads... Fuel economy is excellent for an AWD SUV (got 30MPG highway only and 21- 22MPG driving 50/50). Interior is quiet, stylish and attractive. HID headlights are so much brighter than regular halogens I have on my 2004 GX470! Paid $29K with 3yr/100K bumber- to-bumber warranty for a vehicle with only 31K miles and driving and looking like brand-new. Another great product Lexus, and it's what keeps me coming back.

Jack of many trades, master of all?

My wife and I love our Lexus RX 350, an amazing blend of ideal traits providing the utility of an SUV, exceptionally smooth driving experience, startling acceleration for an SUV, incredible gas mileage for an SUV (we're averaging 23.5 mpg in mixed driving), very smart interior layout with little extra touches like the extra retractable cup holder to the left of the steering wheel in addition to the console cup holders. It's extremely comfortable, making short and long trips a pleasure, etc. It's quite evident that a lot of thought went into this vehicle. It's so versatile without compromising performance, safety, quality, or comfort.

Bulletproof but not always DIY friendly.

If you're looking for luxury and reliability this is her! This vehicle is extremely reliable. My only annoyance is how it's a little tough to work on. Spark Plugs or water pump are not easy at all to do on this vehicle. My dash is also cracking. The transmission has started to slip at 120,000miles which was the dealers fault as they overtightened a bolt and caused a leakage. The RX350 handles well in my opinion, keeps you safe in rainy or snowy weather, and with good spark plugs combined with 93 octane has plenty of pickup. Overall 9.5/10 just wish it was easier to DIY. Getting 16mpg in city and 20 on highway.

Better Than Benz

We carefully selected the RX 350 on reliability, resale and original price and have been very pleased with the vehicle. We bought a new E-350 Benz about the same time, paid $12K more, and got less value than the Lexus. The Lexus navigation and accessories are touch-screen, all the controls are easily accessible and although a very complex machine, is user friendly. The Benz and a new BMW 5-series in our family require a degree in computer science and a full stop to do the same thing the Lexus system does. Sensible driving gets 20 mpg in local traffic.

Good car, except for the rattle

I have had my Lexus for over a year now, and it is a great vehicle. Very powerful, nice looking, and nice interior. But I just started hearing a rattle on the passenger side window that is very annoying. At first it seemed like it was just on bumpy roads, but now it's getting worse. I am going to ask the dealer about it. Other than that a very nice car.
