I am happy with the deal I received at Keys Lexus, which was not matched by a local dealer or three that were recommended by Edmunds. I would have liked different interior choises. I could not get grey, what I wanted and so I chose Palomino. This came with brown dash, which I am less than thrilled with. The car drives and handles superbly and the ride is the best of all of the RX 350s I have owned. I would have loved to have more technology, but they were cost prohibitive for me. My last one only got 17 MPG and I am hoping for much better mileage in this car. I have not owned the car long enough to rate this car correctly.

I was super happy to buy a Lexus, but now wish I had stuck with my Nissan. After only 10000 miles, the car has had many many issues that they can not fix. For starters, it whistles loudly some times depending on which way the wind is blowing, and I have a video of that. The power locks do not always work and I have to get the key fob out to unlock the doors. But the most concerning to me is that I get a message the the breaking power is low and to pull over immediately and call service department. They can not fix this issue or replicate in the service department. And now the parking break does not always engage. I am seriously considering contacting an attorney and claiming this as a lemon. Not what you would expect out of a $50k+ vehicle! And when I first bought the car, the airbag on the passenger side would not turn on when someone was sitting in the seat. Update 5.18.16 - They have replaced the break booster as advised by Lexus. Will update again if this fixes the issue. Update 10.18.16 - Break booster fixed the one problem. The parking break not engaging is a timing issue and lexus tells me that is they it works. You have to wait a few seconds or more before turning off the car for the break to engage. Still have the issue with the power locking of the doors not always working. I have a video of that and hope to have them nvestigate. They have no solution for the whistling noise, but wanted to remove the luggage racks. Not a fix in my opinion, but a work around. Still wish I had purchased a different vehicle.

Don’t purchase......Run the other way!

Don’t purchase! Purchased this car brand new at the dealership in 2016. It’s had nothing but problems - all four door actuators stopped working starting in 2018 through 2021. The steering column went out, mirror motor went out. The end of last year the water pump assembly failed and had to be replaced. The last year and a half it’s sounded like a faucet was running behind the glove box and the car has had a smell. Multiple trips to the dealer saying it was “normal”. Found out that the AC drain was apparently clogged by a spider and caused the drain to back up and water entered the cabin. Carpet and padding on both the drivers side and passenger side completely waterlogged and mold under the mats. Was told at the dealer that this is a known issue and they will clean and order a part to “keep the spiders out”. The warranty covered some of this work, but this car is a real money pit. Do yourself (and your wallet a favor) and look at another car. You can thank me later

When compared to other vehicles I looked at, the Lexus was by far the best. It cost more, but is worth it. The dealership is outstanding in sales and service. Looking forward to having this vehicle for a long time. 2016 looks exactly the same as the 2019 and it was very low mileage. Lots of room for the dogs and the ability to travel.

Not as sporty as it looks, but great bang for buck

My RX 350 F-sport is a great vehicle, which still looks and performs like new. My wife thinks the front seats in my F-model are a bit too firm, but she likes a cushy ride. I drive a lot and now don’t have any lower back issues for the first time in my adult life, so it would be hard for me to find fault with the comfort of these seats. The F-model looks super aggressive, which I love. This car is not as sporty as it looks, but it has plenty of power and performance. It’s not an AMG MB by any stretch, but it also costs half as much. It has adequate trunks/cargo storage, but if you have 5 people and luggage, it can get tight once you load presents and luggage for a family holiday’s-style trip. It’s been flawless with the exception of a lot of wind buffeting on the panoramic roof when open. I finally took it to dealer and they changed the rubber seals, which significantly reduced the noise. I really wish I had thought of that sooner. Just a great car. It gets a lot of compliments in black. The seat coolers are okay - I live in a fairly hot/humid city and once the car’s black interior gets hot in a parking lot, it takes a while to cool down. On all but the warmest days, the autocooled seats, which integrate seamlessly with the auto-climate control do an excellent job. The seat fan is kind of loud when on high, sounds a bit like you are waiting for your jet plane to taxi. Sound system is excellent, which I’m fairly certain is partially responsible for my newer hearing loss (thank you Mark Levinson). The lane keep assist only works on straight-aways with newer painted street lane markers. It will let you coast right out of your lane, so don’t rely on it. Other vehicles have more sophisticated systems that do a much better job. The adaptive cruise is nice, but it is super conservative and shuts down in heavy traffic, so it’s not the perfect stop and go solution. Also, when driving in regular traffic, the adaptive cruise doesn’t accelerate very fast, which causes you to make others slow down if you don’t override the system. For example, you are slowed down automatically because you approach a slower moving vehicle in your lane. So, you switch lanes to pass them. It then increases speed at about one mile per second. Anybody coming up in the passing lane behind you thinks you are a real jerk. Not a huge thing, but it’s just too conservative/slow to resume your previous speed without manually stepping on the gas. I have driven 41k miles in less than 2 years. I enjoy it and would buy this vehicle again.
