  Will Do It Again - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By Kirby - November 7 - 4:43 pm

  We 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 pm

  Great 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 pm

  So 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 pm

  I 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 pm

  Let 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.

  Great All-Around SUV - 2008 Lexus RX 350
  By realtorsales - July 28 - 7:30 am

  I 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!

  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
  By vonyani - June 3 - 12:46 am

  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.

  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.
