  Very happy with lexus rx350 - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By wezwa - June 23 - 10:00 am

  I have been in my rx350 for almost 3 years and have been very pleased with it. It is sporty, reliable, and luxurious all at once. It has plenty of room for the things I need to haul around as an interior decorator or to take a family vacation. Front and rear seats are both very comfortable. Only minor complaints are acceleration is a bit jumpy and there is a slight blind spot when backing up (resulting in a little fender bender!)

  2008 Lexus RX 350 - 2008 Lexus RX 350

  This unit runs like a dream. Everything not only works, things work well. The rain sensing wipers were set to auto when new, and I havent touched them since - they come on when needed, and go off when not. The AC was set to auto, 72 degrees, and I havent touched it since. The unit has understated elegance, very subtle. I couldnt be more satisfied.

  A fine family hauler - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By DadMan - December 22 - 3:30 am

  Walking up to it is its own reward. Having the steering wheel slide out of the way when removing the key makes getting in and out all the easier. Put in the key and the seat, outside mirrors and steering wheel move back to one of two memorized locations. That first five seconds alone make the RX 350 better than my other rides. The all-wheel-drive keeps the tires locked to the pavement as the "killer corssover" eagerly accelerates under a heavy foot. With a minivan ride / height, you are not going to rail any corners. If you try, a bunch of gizmos conspire to take the spirit out of the drive. I suppose thats better than just flipping over but thats why it gets a 7 for performance.

  Im In Love - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By ShaSha - October 3 - 11:16 am

  Have only had my 2008 RX 350 for 2 months & really love it. The handling is so smooth even tho the turning radius is not as tight as my 2003 Ford Expedition! The seats allow me to sit up fairly high which I like as Im short. I find the back lumbar and seat adjustments especially nice. All the tiny lights in the drink holders and floor are a nice touch. The mileage is not too bad, but certainly not all I hoped for. Most of my driving is just around town so I dont know why it various from 14-18 mpg.

  CPO 2008 RX350 AWD - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By NYCVS - September 1 - 6:30 pm

  Bought my CPO 2008 RX350 just a few weeks ago, already put 700+ miles on it. Ride is butter smooth, especially helpful over horrible NYC roads... Fuel economy is excellent for an AWD SUV (got 30MPG highway only and 21- 22MPG driving 50/50). Interior is quiet, stylish and attractive. HID headlights are so much brighter than regular halogens I have on my 2004 GX470! Paid $29K with 3yr/100K bumber- to-bumber warranty for a vehicle with only 31K miles and driving and looking like brand-new. Another great product Lexus, and its what keeps me coming back.

  2008 LEXUS RX350 AWD - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By djevanstn1 - August 15 - 1:44 am

  I cannot begin to tell you how much we love this car. This is the 3rd Lexus in a row. First was a very fast/fun/reliable SC, (lasted to about 350,000 miles and still running) 2nd was an RX300 (not quite as reliable, but good enough I guess - traded at 194,000) This one though, is still better than both previous - only things added were trailer hitch, trailer lighting cord ("factory," just plugged it in to a provided and conveniently located chassis harness). "GADGETS" all seem to work wonderfully and its packed with gadgets. Wonderful comfortable ride.

  Last Lexus: a Lemon? - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By Last Lexus - August 11 - 5:10 pm

  Rather than detail all my Lexus woes, which the dealership has tried and sometimes succeeded in fixing, I can just say that this 2008 RX350 is the noisiest car I have had. There is a persistent rattle in the rear passenger window that looks like it is caused by a faulty window assembly. The bumper rattles when turning. The car has been through a bit -- as a car in NYC is wont to be -- but the quality problems have been very disappointing for a car with a stellar reputation.

  Consider other vehicles - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By Edward F. - April 23 - 7:30 pm

  Purchased the vehicle mid Dec. 2007. This is our first Lexus. Currently has less than 3000 miles. Car has plenty of pep, very quick and responsive handling. Easy to park and a fun car to drive on short trips around town. Not a vehicle for a long trip. Very disappointed in the ride and road noise. Expected the ride to be much smoother and quieter especially for a Lexus. Cannot compare to my E Class MB. This a good vehicle for the lady of the family. I thought I would give the Lexus LS 460 a try in a year or so. After purchasing the RX 350 Ive decided to stay with MB.

  Happy Husband - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By Marke - December 14 - 12:53 pm

  This is what my wife wanted and it has exceeded her expectations. From my perspective, the RX 350 is boring but dependable and it holds its value. Only one issue, the leather seats are not well made and your clothing colors may darken the seats. The dealer claims " the seats are so soft, thats why they are absorbing the color". That is "bunk". We have a bamboo Pearl exterior with tan leather - clothing fabric should not be absorbed into the seats--be careful. Nothing compares to my LS,but my wife loves the car. And its all about her.

  My First Lexus! - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By T. Dino - November 12 - 6:06 am

  As a BMW owner for many years, I felt it was time to try something new. I chose Lexus over the other competition and I must say that I am more than satisfied. The RX 350 is a smooth and quiet ride with good acceleration when on the move. My vehicle is equipped with the Premium Plus Package that includes the Voice Activated Nav System with Bluetooth and Rear Back-Up Camera. It has adequate trunk space with one touch automatic rear door (very helpful when youre carrying a bunch of groceries and of course it looks cool). You definitely get more value for your dollar with this vehicle than you do the competition.
