We waited for this car for over a year when we needed to get an SUV. It is hands down much better than the 2015 model with it's looks, ride, and interior quality. I was coming from a 2003 BMW 325i with the sports package so I wanted to get something that wasn't pillowy and had composure when making quick turns. The RX is very nimble and is particularly responsive with the Sports+ mode, as many have alluded to in reviews that the F-sport trim provides the taught steering and suspension that gives it more of a car-like feel. Gas mileage would have been better with the 450h but once you get up to cruising speed on the freeway you can lift and coast somewhat to achieve some pretty decent mpg's. We are still pretty ginger on the accelerator so I can't say how much power it has, but it is definitely there if I need it. That being said, the eco-mode definitely has a conservative tune and if you want to punch it to beat cars when coming on from an onramp, the Sports/Sports+ mode will get it done. The f-sport seat bolsters are kind of raised too much to my liking and I worry that the leather will get worn out from excessively getting in and out, but once in the seat, I fit perfectly and it is very comfortable.

Lexus or a compact car?

This is the third RX I have owned. My first 2004 then a 2010. Love the new exterior of the 2016. That being said there are a few things I do not like. I chose the F-Sport because of the grill and over-all sporty look. When you accelerate the noise of the transmission is not smooth, but very loud. It is a noise as if you are in a compact car, not a Lexus. Another feature I miss may not be of much importance to most, but is one have become accustomed to. The driver side cup-holder in the dash is gone. I am averaging 17mpg but I have been using the s sport mode so I expect it to not be as good.

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.

Agressive look, Nimble drive!

The front F Sport grille is definitely the most aggressive looking feature. Our Caviar color goes amazingly well with the 20" graphite color rims. The interior is spacious and we have great trunk space for hauling the day to day with our 1 year old. The ride is nimble, quiet and not to mention cushioned. The S+ mode opens the throttle and reduces the engine response time. This kills the fuel economy, but it is a trade off with performance. We could have opted for the 450h for better fuel economy, presently 19 mpg combined city and hwy, but the F Sport outer appearance is just awesome. I just cannot see how you would prefer the older look over this much renewed and less "old person's" car! Definitely love the 12.3" Navigation screen and the renewed interface, very similar to the GS. Love the fact that Lexus relicated the shifter to where is belongs, not arched like a minivan! This and the wooden wheel are so passé and I can only see older people preferring these ugly features. The F Sport offers a completely leather wrapped wheel that feels soft yet sturdy. Much better finish and features than any of its competition: MDX, X5, QX70. Definitely rejuvenated look that the younger generation will find appealing.

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.
