Best Car I’ve owned

This is the best car I’ve ever owned and only selling because of growing family! Once my kids are grown, I’ll definitely buy a Lexus again. Specifically the RX line.

Most "intelligent" car I've every owned.

Comfortable, quiet, classy and beautiful. Just got the car and just getting the pleasure of driving it. So far, love all the features. Such a well kept car.

Reliable and cost efficient.

Never put a penny into this vehicle. Just add gas and take care of the basic maintenance needs; tires, brakes, fluids. Don't like the new designs as much as the 2006-2009s. Center console and mouse controller is poorly designed. Lexus technologies are behind the times.

Nice option for a used vehicle

Nicest car I've ever had. Creature comforts, miles per tankful is better than my previous six cylinder vehicle. Hybrid is nice, car is roomy, the 2011 model has keyless entry and power lift gate, and tons more. The only thing I can ask for is remote start - but I don't really need that, so I'm not bummed that it doesn't have it.

One of the Most Reliable Cars I've Owned!

30 MPG everywhere I go. This car blows away a Tesla, or any electric car. Interior is Large enough to fit an 8'deep x 4' wide anything.

Reliable, comfortable luxury SUV.

Excellent car. Dependable, great MPG, comfortable, great in snow, no weaknesses. My wife used it mostly for commuting, but this was our go-to car for outings as well as cross-country trips.

Exceeds expectations!

Extremely low maintenance. It's what I expected from a Lexus. Luxurious inside, handles like a Porsche, and has loads of power. The hybrid feature works great, power when I need it and 25-28 mpg when I don't.

Best car we've owned!

Great mileage with the hybrid motor but still very quick! Handles like a Porsche and has all the details in the bells and whistles. The ride is nice and smooth, however I would have liked to see more insulation for a quieter ride. Zero problems and the maintenance is affordable. Lots of room for front and rear passengers, limited in cargo area because of hard slope of back door. Tows effortlessly, 25-29 mpg normal driving.

Chip stereo sound

I have had a couple of cars in my years and this RX450 will be one of them, I like everything about this SUV except the Stereo....I can not believe that they have not offer Mark Levinson in this vehicle, it is definitely making me think twice before I purchase 1.
