Fantastic SUV!

The 2018 RX 350 is a dream to drive. It is very comfortable, safe, reliable and luxurious. The Navigation is easy to use and has a giant 12? screen. The Enform remote app allows you to lock and unlock doors, remote start and alert you if any windows, doors, and sunroof is open. You can also set guest drivers profiles such as valet, friends and family. With these profiles, you can limit the speed, total miles limit, radius limit, and total time limit. These features are great for your teenage children and valet parking.

Nearly perfect all around vehicle

Very comfortable and extremely quiet vehicle that is excellent in snow and rain. It is just tall enough to offer great forward visibility in traffic and the perfect step in height, while maintaining decent handling and stability for a softly sprung luxury vehicle. City MPG not great at under 18 MPG, but highway mileage of 30+ mpg is excellent for a 4,500 car with AWD. It is an absolute pleasure to drive; the kind of car that mellows you out on the road and makes you want to drive all day. Tremendous value seemingly immune to depreciation for the first few years. After spending months searching for a used 16/17, I ended up getting a brand new RX at a similar cost as 2 year old models with 25k on the odometer . Visibility is good, but all the tech and features can be a bit distracting while driving. Not a sports car by any means, but it has ample acceleration and decent handling that is biased more toward comfort than cornering. Drove models with both 20" and 18" wheel packages, and found the 20" offered noticeably improved handling and only slightly inferior ride quality.

Worst Technology I have ever seen

As a physician I feel fairly comfortable with technology. This is the most difficult vehicle from a Technology point of view I have ever owned, and its dangerous. You have a mouse that must be used while driving to select a menu item. The adaptive cruise control recurrently goes back to a preset 3 vehicles, the GPS is horrible, it does not even recognize common sites like Fox theatre in Detroit or a stadium in chicago. I can go on an on. Cant wait to turn it in. Before you consider this deceptive vehicle try all the tech features. You will not buy it. My son who is a computer technologist drove it for 2 days and said " dad, why would you buy this car its technology is so complex I cannot even understand it". Dont be decieved by the good styling and comfort of drive.

My 3rd Lexus, can?t beat it.

So far I love the car. Accommodating in every way. However, being female I would make some changes inside function buttons, rear door opening, dash screen, etc

just committed to my 4th Lexus

Every time my lease is up I research other vehicles. I visit other dealers and test drive other cars......but I always come back to Lexus for the unparalleled comfort and value in a luxury vehicle. The only real choice I need to make is the color!

Beautiful in and out!

This car so far has met my needs and hopefully will continue on doing so. The only thing is that the back hood doesn't open all the way up and I have to be careful when I take my bags out.

4th RX350, never had a problem!

Much improved over former RX 350 models. Improved handling, dash design & interior appointments. Continue to hate new design but acceptable in dark colors to make it look less "angry".
