  Nothing else compares - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By Daniels - January 11 - 2:58 am

  Finally Lexus has made a SUV that a man can glady say is his. Its an attention grabber with the new redesign and the interior is top of the line. The ride is unbelievable and surprisingly quiet. I would NOT buy another luxury SUV.

  Darth Vadar Grill....Love it. - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By Ramona - November 9 - 10:18 pm

  I looked, and said,....wow. what a grill. I think of Star Wars, even the color is outer limits, Nebula grey. I am happy with the look, feel, drive. I have many things to learn on this car. She is high tech. I barely understand the apps on my iPhone, so it can be daunting. I liked that my dealer offered free car washes for the life of the car. I traded in the Merc. SUV and no regrets. I have the double moon roof, she feels like a limo.

  DO NOT LEASE OR BUY - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By CARLOS C FROM MIAMI - November 8 - 3:48 am

  I was very upset to say that car does not offer the technology as customers like to have in year 2016, the options to customize your options is horrible. I had a Ford Limited Explorer simple things like locking the car doors by its self automatically is awesome to have to save your belongs from getting stolen from your vehicle. The ac options and to many things to learning curved is hard take a few days and I am a young tech guy. I feel they can do better not happy my first Lexus not very happy.

  Worth waiting for - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By David - November 4 - 11:52 pm

  I traded my 2005 RX for the new 2016 model. I was ready to get a new RX two years ago but waited to see the new model as I saw the news trickle in over the past year. My 2005 RX was in great shape and a joy to drive so we had the luxury of waiting. I worked with the local Lexus dealer to keep me informed, put a deposit to hold one of the first units delivered and bought mine November 6th. Normally I would not buy a new model this early but its a Lexus and I have had zero problems with the previous one and none thus far with the 2016. So, I can somewhat compare to my 2005 which had all options and the new model which has all options except AWD which I did not want. First, this car is larger than the earlier models. The specs dont tell the reality but you can see it and feel it in the interior. The exterior look for me was a bonus. I have the 20" wheels and they are awesome with the back inserts. The Triple Beam LED lighting and the aggressive grill give a younger appearance to the RX. Our exterior is Eminent White and interior Parchment. The interior layout is nicely done and mostly intuitive, especially is you have had a previous RX. As far as features, the Navigation and split screen on the 12.3" display is a big improvement to also control the audio, phone, climate and information. We had rain sensing windshield wipers before and would not buy a car without them. The big surprise was the color heads-up display which is integrated with the navigation and other information. Looks great and works great. Another feature we like is the Dynamic Cruise: Set it and the radar adjusts the distance set for moving traffic and its all shown in the HUD (cant get any easier for interstate driving long distance). As far as performance, its not a BMW and should not expect that type of car. It handles great for driving on rural and highway roads but dont take it to the track. The car is extremely quiet even at interstate speeds and local bumpy roads. For the almost two months of driving we have been getting about 25 MPG which is about what I expected. (If I was in Atlanta traffic I am sure it would be worse, but I moved from there). In summary, glad I waited. Not disappointed and surprised at the synergy of technology and driving experience. And of course the Lexus reliability. May keep this one for 11 years as well.

  Disapointed - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By Jayson - June 24 - 11:55 am

  This car is not as Refined as the past RX SUV. The Shifting is rough and the 8 speed Tranny is very Rough ,it seems like it is not sure sometime between 7 and 8. I think they should remap the Trans. I finally just use manual and use #7 and that stops all the up and back shifting for now. The engine is Very Loud and I hate that.I I really think Lexus should give is some help with these things. My Truck rides 100% better and quit too.

  Buyers remorae - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By Carl Richards - April 14 - 7:06 am

  This is my 3rd RX 350. With each generation the navigation and other electronic controls get more complex and harder to use. For some reason instead of getting faster and more responsive over the years, the computer in this car is slower and less intuitive than the earlier models. It is on its way to the dealer for the second time because the screen has blacked out and now freezes on occasion. I pay for the traffic package and it is not unusual to drive 10 miles after starting the car for the traffic info to show on the screen. And compared to an app like Waze, it is very dumb and likely to lead you into a traffic jam and then cheerfully chirp "slow traffic." If i could get out of this lease, I would.

  the car for people who want their car to work - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By Clifford Hersh - March 13 - 7:30 am

  I tested many crossovers. Lexus has the most comfortable seats, quietest ride. Dont get sports wheels; its not a sports car. Ride better without them. Get the seats that dont get hot in the sun; best invention ever (except antibiotics and vaccines). Get third party car play and skip any built in software. Google and Apple are better. According to my research, it is the car least likely to be in the shop during your lease.

  L FOR LAZY LEXUS - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By Joe - February 14 - 1:08 pm

  Something wrong is going on with Lexus Corp. The 2016 RX 350 even without the F sport package has loud noises penetrating the cabin. The shifts between gears in the new 8 speed automatic are not smooth as expected from Lexus. The RX was always a comfortable car. That is what Lexus pioneered. Suddenly they are chasing the Germans with this mid life crisis and anahialting a big chunk of there customer base. The build quality in certain areas is impeccable - though other manufacturers are catching up. Whens the last time you sat in a Lincoln Black Label trim? The Lexus RX should focus on creating two destinct models. The F sport should be sporty while the regular spec 350 should be super luxurious. I have 4 friends who have the new RX and they ALL regret not extending the lease on the 2013/2015 model they had. They feel the older body style was superior on the comfort side. The 8 speed is not smooth and the car is noisier??
