Very good, not perfect

Super comfortable, with one of the nicest interiors in its class. Wife liked the new styling, me I think it's a bit over the top. Radio and Nav interface could be better, but once you get use to it, it's not bad. Have body fit and quality issues that are a disappointment. Gas filler door sticks proud of the body, the front hood rattles, weather strip around one of passenger doors has come loose. The paint on the front bumper around one of the parking sensors is dis colored. At 4000 miles the sending unit for the gas gauge failed leaving my wife stranded when she ran out of gas with the gauge showing 3/4 of a tank. The on center feel of the steering is vague and there is a bit of torque steer on hard excelleration. Smooth silent ride.

Really love driving our new Lexus RX450H. Excellent car overall. The mouse control on the electronics is very sensitive. They could have made this a bit less sensitive -- that would have made managing the navigation settings a bit easier.

In the 2 months I have owned this suv I have put on 10,000 miles. I flew to San Diego to purchase the loaded RX450h (only missing options were rear seat entertainment, and remote rear hatch). I love this vehicle (although sometimes the grill can be polarizing) I drove from California to Chicago and each night I would get on u-tube to learn how to use all the accessories (the owners manual is huge and a pain). Only issue I had driving home in the winter was the snow /sleet would cover the sensors on the front grill while driving and the safety features would stop working. A month later I would drive down to Pensacola Florida and then to the Atlantic coast and back home. What a comfortable ride, this is the most miles I have ever put on a vehicle in such a short time,I love it. After 6 months just had a plastic strip come loose from the panoramic moon roof. Wish there was more room in back of suv for cargo, I didn’t realize how large this suv was until I washed it by hand. I have to open the front door and stand on the sill to wash the windshield.

Great ride but disappointing

Ok here's the update (01/6/2021) - 30K miles. A big disappoint (for a Lexus) as I've had it in for recalls, sunroof issues, wiper issue, Driver's side inside door handle broke, and other minor interior issues. Tires lasted only 20K (others have the same complaint on User Forum - and yes I rotate them). Not great in the snow. On top of that, the infotainment system acts irradicably (No sound out of the radio when it's extremely cold - have to restart the car) and no upgrade available to Apple Car Play. Tough to defrost the front windshield. Can't really haul anything that sticks out the back. Ice or snow on the sensors causes havoc and the car to beep at you and beep at you and beep at you (you get the idea). Would be helpful if they squared off the back from a cargo perspective. Do my own service and everything is easy to get to and the brakes aren't even 1/2 worn. Gas Mileage is averaging 25 MPG. Lowered to a 3. Won't buy this again. ---> end of update What I like: Ride, Interior materials, Comfort, MPG, space, and very quiet. What I don't like: Infotainment, Sound system is just OK. Terrible in cold weather (doesn't heat up, wipers freeze, front defroster takes too long), controls not exactly intuitive (i.e. how do I turn off the sensors for the car wash?).
