Disappointed

This is my third RX350 in the last 10 years. The engine sounds like a motorcycle engine when you accelerate it. This was Lexus’s biggest mistake ever. I don’t know what they were trying to do when going to a 4 cylinder engine for such a heavy car, it’s slow to accelerate, noisy and truly disappointing.

After 3 month driving ultra luxury rx350. Malfunctioning of front strut assembly from day0 not yet fixed as no parts available. The car had issue from factory. Horrible engine sound. When going normal uphills it is sounds like it cant handle it. Poor gas milage. Periodical system malfunction on safety features and blind spot monitoring and sensor functionality stop until you restart the car.

The 4 cylinder engines are loud and vibrate a lot.

Not Well Built

Anyone that purchases a 2023 RX350 with the 8 speed automatic transmission will soon find out how jerky that transmission gets upshifting and downshifting after 500 miles. The tech is much better than the old RX, especially the cameras that are not grainy anymore with the exception of the digital rear view mirror which appears to be VGA quality. The infotainment and steering wheel buttons are not user friendly at all, but I overlooked all those shortcomings hoping that I would at least have a comfortable and reliable vehicle. The transmission jerking is so bad that it feels like it will give out at any moment and Lexus’ response is to tell you to make sure to use premium fuel and drive on Eco mode. The suede dash on the passenger side comes loose or off depending on your vehicle built date, another thing Lexus has no fix for, so the only option that leaves you is to glue it, a brand new Luxury vehicle over $70,000, and you have to use glue to keep parts in place.

Poor performance

Not impressed after driving it for a few months. It's nice and quite once it gets going, but is noisy and rough getting there. Gas milage is horrendous. My Chevy 1500 4x4 gets 2 less miles per gallon. Interior is fine but the infotainment is way too busy along with the dozens of things that happen if you touch something on the steering wheel. The handles are kind of nice once you get used to them, not sure why folks complain about them. Big picture, trading it in, not the vehicle I had hoped it would be. I think it was a big mistake going to a 4 cylinder, especially such a poor, noisy, gas guzzling one.
