Try Again 2016 RX

I own a 2008 & 2013 RX; I had my 2013 serviced and they gave me a 2016 RX as a loaner. I am not happy with the UGLY black plastic around the wheel wells of the 2016 as it looks so cheap for a luxury car. The front seats are so hard that my back and buttocks were hurting even after trying to adjust the seating. The navigation and entertainment is difficult to operate while driving. I don't have this issue in my 2008 or 2013. The engine noise while accelerating is horrible; it sounds like 4cyl engine struggling to move the car. This is not something that I would expect from Lexus. The inside looks absolutely fantastic; however using the technology is difficult. The AC sounds as if it's about to blow me away; however, living in Houston, TX I can appreciate that it cools very quickly as our summers can be brutal so I can deal with the noise (i guess). My 2008 is not as noisy but it does take a minute to cool off in Texas' heat. I hope Lexus makes some changes to the 2017 RX as I will not purchase this generation RX.

The exterior of the car is beautiful. Hip and aggressive. Interior is rich and beautiful. Attention to details is evident. Safety features are great and affordable. Fuel economy is so so. Great value compared to Benz and Audi. My only gripe was with the fake and loud exhaust noise in the cabin. However, the new one's don't have that issue anymore (mine was 2016). Not as smooth a ride in low speed. Awesome on freeways.

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!

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.
