"I used to own a 2004 Lexus RX 330, which I traded in for a 2009 Acura RDX. The Acura was a lot of fun to drive - sporty and zippy. Yet what I missed the most was the "marshmallow" ride I had in the Lexus. I finally came to the conclusion that I couldn't stand the sport suspension any longer - I really wanted to go back to the Lexus. So....I found a great deal on Cars.com for a 2009 Lexus with low mileage, got a good price for my very new trade-in, and am now once again a very happy Lexus owner."

"The drivers and passengers seat does not go back far enough to provide comfort for tall people. However it is very reliable and the gas mileage is good. Maintenance issues are just ties and brakes with 82,500 miles on it."

"RX350 Pebble Beach Edition with all options We brought this one few months ago as a second car. Primarily for my wife. We drove various models and this is the one we both loved. Silk smooth quite ride, build quality, interior materials, sleek design, good gas mileage for the segment, etc??. We did few long distance driving trip, and gas mileage was amassing ( HWY less than 8 L/100 Km) what else can you ask. Driving in the heavy snow is not the best that is primarily due to the all season high performance tires on it. We'll be getting winter tires soon and hopeful I will be abele to provide better review on winter handling."

"I searched long and hard for my first 'utility' type vehicle and this one is a winner for sure. I am a very petite woman and everything I tested felt well too big, difficult to control and I just wasn't comfortable until I tested the RX. I can control everything with little effort and don't feel overwhelmed. The interior is luxurious but not so over the top where I don't feel like I can grab a burger while on the road. It is also the only car in my entire apprx 30 yr driving history that I have not had to sit on a pillow to see over the dash-sounds minor but it makes a difference. My only beef would be the the placement of the items in center dash 'gadgets'. Everything seems a little jumbled but I'm sure I'll grow more accustomed to it. The split back seats are a dream! I travel daily with my 3 dogs and it makes it super easy to change the seat configurations to meet my 'stuff hauling' needs. It is super quiet and an unbelievably smooth ride. I love it!"

"Exceptional vehicle, would highly recommend. Performance, reliability and comfort are truly outstanding. Definitely go with the navigation and bluetooth - incredible hands-free driving experience. Getting 18-20 mpg with premium fuel. This is a great SUV for both myself and my wife. Gets lots of compliments and would not get anything else."

"The '09 RX is quiet and well mannered to drive. It has quick acceleration especially 40 to 60 mph for passing. It is a sleek, beautiful crossover. We've owned a 4 Runner and a Yukon. They're both true SUVs and we enjoyed each one for different reasons. The RX is more like a tall, very roomy car than an SUV, but that fits our needs better. The height makes it easy for my petite wife to get in and out while still giving enough elevation for a good road view and it has plenty of interior room for me at 6'1". If you're going off roading, get something else. But if you spend most of your time in the neighborhood or on the interstate this one is hard to beat. Gas mileage has been as advertised and is acceptable. While premium gasoline is "required," it run quite well on regular, so no penalty there. We tried 4 Runner, Highlander, Pilot, MDX, Tahoe, Acadia, X3 & 5 and this was the one for us. No regrets."
