Have owned 3 RX 350s - all AWD and all with Navigation. A 2004, 2007 and a 2012. The 2012 model is our favorite in many ways - but all have been 100% trouble free. The snow control - part of the AWD system is amazing.

Lexus discomfort

Having just completed an 1800 miles road trip I have to report that both I and my wife found that the seats were not ergonomically supportive. On drives of only 150 miles we found that we both suffered from lower back pain, especially in the passenger seat. The lumber support is quite inadequate. I never suffered these pains when I drove my BMW X5 as much as 400 miles in one day.Other criticisms of the car are - view of the clock is blocked by one's right arm: the outside temperature numbers show very small: there is no storage for glasses: the trunk area has poor additional cubby spaces: the reversing camera is poor - my KIA Sorento was much more accurate. I would not buy another one.

The 2012 Lexus RX 350 lived for 2 years in California before I bought it and brought it to Arizona. I have had is a couple of years . I bought a Lexus because my Camry was virtually repair free year after year. I kept that gem for 10 years. Today , at barely 4 years of age the car has a radiator leak problem. Apparently the parts are made from plastic and in the heat,,, yes it is hot here, the plastic breaks down and we have a leak. Apparently to fix this requires that the whole bumper has to come off resulting in at least 5 hours of work and over $500 just for the labor. I was stunned! Please do not tell me that every 4 years I am going to have to have the radiator fixed or repaired. This is for us a major financial issue and one I think people should know about. It is interesting to go back and read this. The Lexus repair guy lied to me. Before I had it repaired I took it to another Lexus dealer and we determined that was absolutely NO leaking radiator. Needless to say we do not take our cars to that dealership anymore. We travelled 11,000 miles in the car this past summer through Canada and the US. It worked just fine except the GPS system failed us many times ,,,,several times it was dangerous missing signs and then darting off because of the late information. Hopefully the systems will get better. Also, I was told that the oil should be changed every 3,000 miles and that reminder comes up on my screen but it turns out from the research is it every 10,000 miles. Otherwise, I continue to love the vehicles.

They will love the feel of the steering wheel as well as how sharply this car can be turned in a narrow space.
