Very nice overall

I enjoy the quiet ride and comfort. I drove this car from Las Vegas where I purchased the vehicle back to San Diego. It was a nice easy ride and I felt very safe in the vehicle.

It’s noisy !

A lot more engine and road noise than my 2012 rx. Drives and rides smoothly however there is a bit of hesitation during take off.

Best luxury suv

Great used SUV at a great price. Buying process was easy with tons of great vehicle features. Gas mileage and power is a definite plus.

Luxury

The RX 350 met all of my needs and more! Very comfortable and smooth drive. The RX makes it easy to navigate, call and listen to the radio without taking your eyes of the road.

Very satisfied.

I went from an Audi A5 to a Rx350. I had my reservations, but I love the Rx. Very reliable and amazing comfort. It was worth the switch.

All wheel drive RX 350 FSport. Edgy. Great auto

The FSport with the all wheel drive is a fun car. Additional suspension settings are great. Has all the safety equipment. Love it. The Lexus experience was excellent. Certified vehicle.

Looks great, but..............

We previously owned a 2004 and 2010 RX, Both were great, the '10 RX350 had 111K mi when we sold it, and looked/drove new. Absolutely no repairs since new. Purchased a '16 RX350 w/most options. $52K sticker. Bought it on the internet based on great past Lexus/Toyota experience. The car looked great, but drove terribly. Always hesitated from start, then took off like a rocket- almost impossible to accelerate slowly. Worst was constant groaning at idle and lower speed- slight vibration as well. Cruise control was worthless- even on lowest sensitivity setting it would slow down way too early, then do nothing for a few beats, then abruptly take off. Very jerky, and dangerous. Hands free tailgate never worked, nor did voice activated navigation- system never got what we said. Sold the car at a huge loss to CarMax. Would consider a '16+ RX450h hybrid- different engine and transmission- but I am disappointed in Lexus- our '16 RX350 was a real loser.

The amenities are over the top.

The extra space compared to our 2009 model makes all the difference. The safety features that come standard are amazing. The fit and finish typify what you would expect in a Lexus.

Have owned Lexus cars for last 15 years

This car met all my needs. Only reason I traded was I needed depreciation for my business. The body style and ease of driving was amazing.
