Used 2010 Lexus RX 350 Consumer Reviews
Mixed Bag
The bean counters at Lexus have struck. My 2005 had a luxurious interior with an almost all wood steering wheel, shift knob and fine leather throughout. The 2010 has a trace of wood and cheaper leather. Accent lines on the exterior appear contrived and overall design not as attractive as the 2005. The 12V plug is buried in the console and needs to be more accessible. Trip computer on 2010 hard to read and use-much inferior to 2005. Cooled ventilated seats barely cool. Side molding on 2005 useful to avoid dents and dings-molding at bottom of door of 2010 virtually useless. The transmission, power and comfort are noticeably improved. But I miss my 2005.
Okie dissapointment!
My wife and I went from a wonderful '07 to this cumbersome '10. The ride is rougher, window noise, a loss of 4 to 5 MPG, and it drives like a truck. The turning radius is greater, the steering is slow to respond, the acceleration is OK but the vehicle seems so big I'm afraid to goose-it. We screwed-up! My wife and I both wish we would have kept the '07. The '07 was nimble, quick and fun to drive. The '10 is none of the above. One positive is I have a little more leg room in the drivers seat. The information panels are hard to see and select. Auto wipers did not come with the '10. The bluetooth is difficult to hook-up three layers down in the console. My advice don't trade.

Nav System + Cup Holder + Heated Seats
NAV System volume is too low even on loudest setting. Dealer agrees but doesn't know how to fix it. The left side cup holder is useless. It is positioned too close to the driver's door so you cannot grab a cup unless you grab from the top. The heated seats do not get very warm. The 2007 electric heated seats were far superior to the hot air heated seats of the 2010. Overall, not very satisfied yet.
The best ever
Have owned 5 Acura's, switched to Lexus - I don't think I'll ever go back. The mileage & quality made it an easy decision. The last 2 MDX's had tranny problems with less than 75 thousand, lost a motor at 7,000 with the 1st.
Rough Ride
Bought Aug 2009 already having dissatisfaction. Hoping to have smooth ride, but it's not. Wind noise on the frwy & gas mileage is not what they claim only 16.2MPG on the city. My niece's rx 330 2004 has a better & quiet ride that's why we got one for ourselves. Try at least 2 SUV before buying.
