  • Even better! - 2010 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    Just traded my 09 RX for this one, and what a difference! The old style was good, but Lexus has jumped to a higher level of luxury and comfort with the 2010. You immediately notice the much quieter cabin, far-off engine noise, and luxurious interior. The navigation "mouse" appears intimidating, but even this old guy caught on very quickly. The screen is bigger and brighter, and completes addresses after you enter just a few letters, like a computer. Many of the Lexus Personal Settings are customizable from the nav screen, so its much easier to try some out and then change back. I love this car, and even use it in place of my LS460 at times. Get one for yourself and see.

  • The best ever - 2010 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    Have owned 5 Acuras, switched to Lexus - I dont think Ill ever go back. The mileage & quality made it an easy decision. The last 2 MDXs had tranny problems with less than 75 thousand, lost a motor at 7,000 with the 1st.

  • Definitely worth a look - 2010 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    Im a first-time Lexus owner. I traded my Honda Ridgeline pickup for a 2010 Lexus RX350 crossover as I was looking for something smaller that had plenty of cargo space plus the AWD capability for Colorado snowstorms. I must say I am quite impressed. I was seriously torn between the RX350 and the Volvo XC60, but the Lexus won out when I test drove both (3 times) and found the Lexus had more hip/shoulder room for my 62" frame, yet was very easy to load and enter/exit for my 50" wife. I believe the RX350 is built on a Toyota Camry frame, which gives it a great smooth ride that doesnt have that stiff "truck" ride that some SUVs have. So far, MPG are 23-24 after one tank of 87 octane.

  • Dont believe the few bad reviews - 2010 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    Do not believe the few bad reviews here. I STRONGLY believe, in my opinion only, that these are spies from the other car companies, the closest competitors writing some of this nonsense. Just a warning. Use your common sense. I have owned the car for almost a year now. Fact: it is the smoothest and quietest SUV you can buy. People are posting that its a little trucky but there is a little truth to that, but please note this is the best of all competitors out there. Fact: center console does fail miserably in design. But, I can live with it. I just drove to the Sequioas and a new X5 overheated, I just zoomed by laughing. Fact: Lexus is the most reliable car available

  • Unsafe vehicle - avoid at any cost - 2010 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    Have had this car for a month. While it drives better than our previous 2007 Rx this vehicle has a fatal design flaw - it rolls back on even slight incline. The dealership says that it is normal and they cannot do anything about that. The previous RX did not do that and so does not our much cheaper 2007 Civic. The car is unsafe to operate. Avoid.

  • Terriblly uncomfortable seats - 2010 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    I picked the new RX trying to get better fuel economy and for more comfort for passengers. The fuel economy is just ok. Highway I am getting 24.5. City 18.5. I was getting 18.5 in my V-8 4-runner. So I gave up my nice V-8 torque for basically the same fuel economy. This is no family trip mobile. It is terribly uncomfortable. I am 5 foot 9 and average weight... maybe if you are petite it would be ok. My legs tingle and go to sleep while driving on long trips. My back is hurting still from our 10 hour ride back from vacation.

    Lexus is world class in its cars and SUVs. But the new RX falls short in a few areas, see below.

  • Remote Control - 2010 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    If you are ready to purchase a Lexus SUV or other Toyota vehicle, do not get remote start. It doesnt work as this is the first year theyve had it and havent been cooperating to fix it. Claim the signals are not communicating between the vehicle and key. You have to stand 10 ft. from the vehicle to activate it! Very bad feature. Even some dealers that are honest will tell you this!! Also, back hatch has to be lifted some to get it to go up automatically if doing it manually.

  • My 4th Lexus RX is the best ever. - 2010 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    Ive owned three new RXs from 2004 through 2008. I went from no Nav to a good Nav to a great Nav and now to a spectacular Nav in my 2010 RX. The mouse-like control on the console is a killer app. Thanks to the adjustable tactile feel on the screen pointer, it is very easy to select Nav, Sat, Audio and numerous other vehicle controls even while youre driving. Thanks to a larger vocabulary, the voice recognition is far superior to the 2008/2009 version. This RX is quieter, rides firmer, and although noticeably larger, it still handles like a car. With no more strut towers in the luggage space, four golf bags easily fit. I like the 2008 taillights better but overall, the 2010 looks better.

  • Lexus Quality - 2010 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    Had 4Runners before and, sold on Toyota quality, decided to step up. Though not as smooth as a V8, this 6 has surprising pickup. Comfortable driving -- trips between LA and Vegas seem shorter than before. Very high-tech -- electronics are sophisticated and intuitive. Handsome interior, wood/leather trim. Deceptively large cargo space: can take 2 full-size bikes! Exterior lines are a bit frumpy, but, like the inside, beautiful fit and finish. Can confirm reviews elsewhere about road noise: pavement-to-tire noise, then wind noise at higher speed. That said, the word is still quality. Whether at home or on the road, Ive found Lexus to be a better class of both car and dealership.
