Overview & Reviews
A new grille design and chrome exterior door handles distinguish the 2008 Lexus RX 350 from last year's model. In addition, there's a new graphite-finish 18-inch wheel design on the options list, and in models with a gray interior, you'll find black bird's eye maple trim.
- High-grade cabin furnishings, luxury sedan ride, user-friendly high-tech features, rock-solid reliability history, excellent dealer service.
- Soft suspension tuning makes for merely acceptable handling, no third-row seat option, pricey option packages.

Love it - 2008 Lexus RX 350
By Josie - August 13 - 10:56 pmThis is the nicest car Ive owned. Its beautiful, comfortable and easy to drive. Gas mileage is better than advertised. Nav, bluetooth are easy to use and self-explanatory.

Good car but not for me - 2008 Lexus RX 350
By holltol - April 17 - 8:10 pmIts a good car but not for me. Seat is not comfortable at all (6ft tall) too small seat and gave me backpain even had lumber support. Useless armrest. Not good air filter for cabin. I would only recommend this car for the driver who would enjoy smooth driving, superior customer service, clean dealership and smaller height person.

Yawn, Yawn - 2008 Lexus RX 350
By jimbo - January 12 - 4:40 pmFor the past 9 years I have had an ML320 and was persuaded to trade it on a new Lexus. So I get the RX 350 and all I can say about it is that the fit and finish are great. For the rated horsepower it seems to underperform. I was used to a car that was much heavier with a lower horsepower rating that outperformed this dog. All I can say about the handling is that it reminds me of an old man car like the old Buick LaSabre. Very boring and no feel of the road. If you own an M Class hold on to it and treasure it.

Will Do It Again - 2008 Lexus RX 350
By Kirby - November 7 - 4:43 pmWe have had this vehicle just over a month an a 1/2. Amazing! Never owned a Lexus, but have been a loyal Toyota owner for years. Love the all the features, quietness, drive, style, and comfort of what a luxury SUV should feel like. I recommend a test drive of this and the new brand is amazing as well.

Mechanically great but a few particulars - 2008 Lexus RX 350
By Curt and Barb - April 30 - 11:53 pmGreat vehicle. Having owned it 3 weeks, there are disappointments: 1. Basic sound system is shockingly poor. My 2000 F-150 system is better. We assumed the sound system would be superb and failed to even turn it on during the test drive. I assumed Lexus would overachieve on this basic. Dealer says thats how they all sound. I would have paid for the premium system but there werent any on the lot. Dealer advises it is not a good idea to post-sale upgrade it due to complexity. 2.The Lexus on site programmer advised that the bluetooth is not compatabile with either of our <1 year old name brand cell phones.

Great Car! - 2008 Lexus RX 350
By deltagirl_16 - March 19 - 1:33 pmSo far, so good! Im a first time Lexus owner and the transition from internet inquiries to actual possession was very smooth and professional! I will admit, theres a bit more wind noise than I anticipated (based on the reviews); but its still a quiet ride. I had to make adjustments to the way I would normally sit in order to be truly comfortable in the drivers seat. The navigation system seems adequate (Ive compared it to Mapquest/Yahoo Maps and find them to be a bit more precise). I havent connected the Bluetooth phone yet, so I cant comment on that feature. Actual gas mileage isnt bad for an SUV - I get about 20-23 MPG in the city, so I cant complain. :-)

RX 350 - 2008 Lexus RX 350
By Toby - October 18 - 1:36 pmI owned an RX 330 and traded it for a MB. I traded the MB two months later for the RX 350. It is true, you do not know what you have until its gone. This should be enough said but Ill go on. The RX 350 is the perfect car. The XM/nav/rear camera, etc., work in concert and flawlessly; very easy to operate. Engine power is very adequate with pick up when you need it. Love, love, love this car.

Another great product from Lexus - 2008 Lexus RX 350
By cruch&daisy - September 4 - 12:43 pmLet me preface by saying that my wife and I have owned several different cars (3 hondas, 1 nissan, 1 lexus, and 1 bmw). This is our first foray into the SUV market. Lexus again has produced another great product/car!! This car is the best value for the money. The one we purchased was silver titanium with black leather. Premium Plus package with navigation. Chrome 18 inch 5 spoke wheels, HID, AFS, and All wheel drive. The car we just got rid of was a piece of crap 2003 BMW 330i sedan. BMWs may have that "fun to drive" factor BUT mechanically and quality wise they cant compare to the Lexus. The build quality on this Lexus is superb. Fit and finish is top notch.

Lexus RX 350 08 - 2008 Lexus RX 350
By Super Tsuper - August 25 - 12:16 amJust bought RX 350 AWD 2 weeks ago. I love the interior except for a few quirky features like the heated seats on/off button which is like a childs toy. To turn it on and adjust the heat, you have to push a knob that pops out and then turn to select the desired heat. Very conventional way for a SUV w/ $2.7K of nav system. Sound system is not too excellent either, reception very poor.

Great All-Around SUV - 2008 Lexus RX 350
By realtorsales - July 28 - 7:30 amI recently purchased a new RX 350. I have been very happy so far! I go through about 35k miles a year, so comfort and quality are my biggest concerns and this vehicle meets these with no problems at all. I trade out about every year and this is by-far the most enjoyable midsize SUV that I have owned. And I have driven everything from Toyota to BMW to Honda. There are a few weird things could be changed but not every vehicle is perfect. Great choice for a comfortable and stylish ride and perfect for sales!
