OK, but not Lexus' best effort
I have owned a 2010 RX 350 for six months now and have developed a fairly good feel for its pros and cons. This is my third Lexus since 1990, having owned a LS 400 and currently owning an LS 460. The RX 350 is my first SUV. Let me start by saying that I am not a fan of this style vehicle, preferring a station wagon instead. But I needed something that could tow. I find the peripheral vision in the RX is poor. Maybe its the tinted windows. Or maybe its the roof lines. But switching lanes, particularly to the right, is never fun in this vehicle. Also, the drivers side view mirror is blurry and shows double images at the edges. Lexus says its a design problem and doesnt plan to change the
Nice car but not Lexus nice
This is my third RX (2004,2008,2010) and my least in love of the three. Like the HP, Nav, and dash design, but I think they've seriously underestimated the Lexus buyer. Being a repeat buyer, it's quite evident that they've cut cost on the area's that make the Lexus a standout luxury car. The RX back seats are no were near the quality of previous RX's. Seats are no longer have that thick forming design. The side door designs have been stripped bear. No more leather like stitching and padding on interior doors. Doors look like what you get in an American made suv. And quality of carpeting has also been downgraded. And no longer a full spare tire. The outside does not match inside.

Unimpressed
The AWD system on this vehicle is horrible in the snow. It is not as good as other systems I am familiar with. It appears that the rear wheels only work when there is noticeable slip in the front wheels. The delay at which the rear wheels engage is very noticeable and is scary when going around corners. Even with the stability control the AWD system destabilizes the car around corners in slippery conditions.
Poor engeneering of add-ons
Switched 2008 RX350 for this one, and I am sorry I did. All futures, which do not work by design, when driving just distract you and make you dizzy. Voice activation system is missing commands 99% of the time. Some genius put microphones in the middle of front console, when they should be in front of the driver. Central console is protruding to much into the car, difficult to see knobs and digits. Navigation system is Ok, but traffic future can not show you overview of clogged roads for better planning.
Even better!
Just traded my 09 RX for this one, and what a difference! The old style was good, but Lexus has jumped to a higher level of luxury and comfort with the 2010. You immediately notice the much quieter cabin, far-off engine noise, and luxurious interior. The navigation "mouse" appears intimidating, but even this old guy caught on very quickly. The screen is bigger and brighter, and completes addresses after you enter just a few letters, like a computer. Many of the Lexus Personal Settings are customizable from the nav screen, so it's much easier to try some out and then change back. I love this car, and even use it in place of my LS460 at times. Get one for yourself and see.
