What a vehicle!
We needed a full size SUV and the room and utility in this TX does not disappoint. There is almost too many cup holders and too much space. The interior in impeccable. Sorry, it’s a lot nicer than the Toyota GH, and it is very comfortable for long drives. As far as dependability-we’ve only put 1,000 miles on it, but we did drive it from Ann Arbor to Green Bay the day after buying it. The MPG is good for a car of this size; I averaged about 23 mpg during the trip. This is not a rocket, but it’s not meant to be either. If you’re looking for a more performance targeted suv, go for an X5 or Q7. However, I believe the value of the TX is better than those; you get a lot of car for a in the $60 Ks. You’d probably end up paying close to $100K for the German, 3 row rivals. The TX does handle well though for it’s size and it’s brakes are excellent. Go take it for a spin. I’m excited to see what comes in the future with new engines, etc.

First 350 Premium Day
Picked up my TX350 Premium today. Nice ride and decent acceleration (I also own an Audi SQ5). Awesome interior and technology. We wanted a larger space than our SQ5 and traded a barely new CX5 turbo which we loved aside from space. This car seems awesome for long road trips. The engine feels responsive and the ride super quiet. Beautiful interior and looks better than the Toyota Grand Highlander which looked cheap with lots of plastic around.

Beautiful car- but engine is WAY TO SMALL
I purchased the TX in the end of October- this is my 4th Lexus (former owner of ES 350 and GX)- I have loved my Lexus’s. They have both performed well and lasted forever- yes they cost a little more than the competition- but I have always had faith that Lexus builds a great vehicle. Until now. 90 days after purchasing- and falling for the “twin turbo” boosts the 4 cylinder to perform just as well as a V6- I am trying to take my lumps and trade the vehicle in for something with a V6. I am coming to find out the market has figured out that this SUV is underpowered and has begun to heavily discount- so essentially no-one wants my 90 day old TX Luxury for a reasonable loss. The offers have been a 30-40% loss in 88 days and 3,700 miles. Even the Lexus dealerships won’t tough them- as they know they will be either reengineered or discontinued. The detail and interior is great…I would love this vehicle if it had the power necessary and expected from a $75,000 SUV from Lexus. You have been warned- maybe this is a good car for your grandma- but if you seek any type of performance stay away!!

Blew everything else away
I literally looked at every 3 row SUV on the market... (minus Hyundai and Kia) Acura, BMW, Honda, Mazda, Mercedes, Toyota, VW and Volvo and hands down the TX was the best value and felt the most put together and the best value for the money. Its not sports car, but I wasn't expecting one. This is now my 7th Lexus and have never had a single issue with any so expecting a smoothe lease!

Dashboard rattle in the first month!
Although this is a practical and spacious vehicle, unfortunately I found the quality control to be very bad. My dashboard started rattling after just one month of owning this brand new car and less than a thousand miles on the odometer. After 6 days at the dealership they said they fixed the issue but it wasn't fixed. Now I've taken it back to the dealership and it's been 2 days and they still haven't figured out how to fix the issue despite installing their Lexus supplied insulation/ dampening kit which hasn't solved the issue. This is very unfortunate and I'm starting to regret switching from Mercedes which treated me very well for 11 years and probably would have treated me well for many more years but I needed a bigger vehicle.
