I LOVE this car. I had a 2010 RX which was the first of the third generation and I totally loved it. Before buying the 2016 RX I contemplated a BMW or a Mercedes, but I just had to stay with the Lexus quality, style, service and overall feel. The new RX has so many features that my previous car didn't have. It drives great, comfortable, and looks so trendy. That is important for this almost 60 year old business professional! As long as I can afford them, I'll have to stay with the Lexus brand!

Lexus Makes the Best SUVs. Period.

If you want the best SUV, then you want to buy a Lexus. This is my third Lexus SUV. I opted for the 450H F Sport model and could not be happier. Pros: ample power, yet great MPG. Gorgeous styling. Very comfortable interior. Unmatched reliability. Cons: nav system so-so; not cheap. It is funny to read those negative reviews about the Lexus RX. My guess is some of them are written by BMW/MB/Audi dealers. Lexus pioneered the luxury SUV and has been the sales leader in luxury SUVs from the beginning. It is obvious their European competitors are doing everything they can to knock down Lexus. The styling of the new Lexus RX is amazing. If you take the BMW/MB/Audi SUVs, remove their nameplates and their styling for many models are exactly the same. No originality! None! If you live in any metro area, 300HP is ample power. You do not need 500HP to drive around town! Bottom line is that if you want a great SUV that has a smooth ride and is reliable, go with Lexus. Lexus RX has been the best selling SUV for many good reasons. Lexus buyers are educated enough to know why Lexus is better than the rest.

Our Last Lexus

We have owned 4 Lexus's, 3-RX's and one SC. Our 2016 RX 350 which we bought new will be our last. With only 31,128 miles. the lane assist malfunctioned. Lexus service noted the issue as "Steering Wheel vibrator and ecu. DTC C1a74". The repair cost $2,718. Lexus service (Roswell, GA dealership) could care less about the issue, other than I was provided a loaner during the two day repair. I understand now why Lexus has dropped in overall quality ratings.

Love it and hate it

What attracted me to the new 2016 RX is the new design. Doesn't look so much like a soccer mom car anymore. Mark Harmon Sound system is awesome. What I don't like is the engine noise and the vibration. Not a Lexus in this regard. I'm surprised they let this engine transmission combo go into production., Did anyone drive it first.? Big mistake my dealer made by giving me an Audi Q-5 as a loner. Not as nice inside as my Lexus Rx but the engine and transmission are much better and quiet. If you dont care about engine noise and vibration then its for you.
