  2016 Review - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By tiffany - September 10 - 2:27 am

  This is a SPECTACULUR SUV! I bought the 2015 version and I absolutely love it. Just when I couldnt imagine a better SUV, I drove the 2016. When I tell you that this SUV handles like a sports car.....please believe me. Ive read some of these reviews and I am wondering what they were ACTUALLY driving and whether theyve been paid to give a negative opinion of the speed, driveability, etc. While I am not the electronic professional and cant say very much about how the internal controls compare to others in its category, but I can say that this truck is top notch. I happen to love LEXUS, as Ive owned a few. I almost purchased the Benz SUV but honestly, the maintenance program and lack of physical appeal prevented that. The 2016 is GORGEOUS and heads literally turned each time I pulled up or away. I wouldnt want to own the 2016 because I dont have the discipline to drive at the speed limit w all the power it has. I LOOOOOVE THIS TRUCK and think its the best pick for a conservative professional MAN who wants to impress the conservative professional lady!

  Excellent except..... - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By Mike - August 10 - 6:58 am

  The exterior of the car is beautiful. Hip and aggressive. Interior is rich and beautiful. Attention to details is evident. Safety features are great and affordable. Fuel economy is so so. Great value compared to Benz and Audi. My only gripe is with the fake and loud exhaust noise in the cabin and uncomfortable front driver seat. I bought the car for its comfort and quietness reputation. Unfortunately the new RX350 does not deliver either well. Spend some more and get an Audi :(

  Great Car - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By Henrietta English - February 4 - 6:00 pm

  This is my second RX 350. I traded my 2010 for a 2016 and received a great trade in value. I would not have any other car.

  Welcome Home - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By Tony - June 27 - 1:11 am

  I bought my first RX about 16yrs ago (in those days they still had Toyota on all the glass, headlights etc) then I had 2 other over the next 9 years, I since then moved away and have had a couple of Porsche Cayannes but have recently just bought a new 2016 RX 350 (which I must admit was totally turned of by that big nose!) But once I drove it and specked if with a few nice extras and the sharp 20" wheels I think it looks very nice indeed and notice a lot of people looking twice as they admire it and realize its the new Lexus RX. It was not long before I remembered why I loved them from the past and why they have got such a great reputation, If you want a top quality, well finished, comfortable SUV this is the one for you, yes it does not have the largest load carrying space nor the fastest acceleration but when compared with other premium brands in this price range it stands head and shoulders above, you will be very pleased with your purchase..........only other thing you will need to add is a set of winter tires as the standard all weather ones honestly dont cope well with snow and ice but thats a small price tp pay for piece of mind and problem free trips at this time of year.

  Disappointed! - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By Bobby - July 7 - 11:56 am

  Poor infotainment system, poor acceleration, very poor steering and you cannot lock the doors and disable the alarm together, thereby making it impossible to leave my dog in the car without fear of theft. Nice luxury , though the seats are a little hard.

  Loving the ride - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By Jill - June 27 - 4:59 pm

  Ive always wanted the Lexus RX 350. My intention was to get a 2015 with the old body style. My mind changed after I drove a new 2016!! This is truly a car of luxury. The handling is superb!! The trunk is perfect size. Back seat guests are comfortable. My only complaint is the gas mileage. I actually watch the gas tank drain down. Otherwise, its great!!

  Nice upgrade from my RX 400h - 2016 Lexus RX 350
  By Mel - June 17 - 3:11 pm

  I was very hesitant to buy the 16 model because of the huge grill but I decided I could get used to it. After a test drive I was sold. This vehicle is much, much quieter than my 2006 RX 400h. I will say that I really miss the CVT though. I opted for the Lexus Safety System and the blind spot monitor. The all-speed cruise control works great. It has taken me into freeway stop & go traffic and done fine. I really like the ability to choose the following distance (100, 130 or 160 feet) from a steering wheel mounted button. Im not as impressed with the lane centering feature so I mostly leave it off. There is a front facing camera that "sees" lane lines and will make steering wheel inputs to keep you in the lane. It feels like theres a little invisible hand on the wheel making slight wheel inputs - which may not be the ones you want to make. Its a very odd sensation. The front camera also can detect human forms over 3 feet tall and will try to avoid hitting one up to about 50 mph. I have no experience with this and hope never to test it. The front facing radar is smarter than I expected it to be. I was afraid of sudden braking when a driver moved into the buffer area between you ant the car you had been following because if you leave a 100 -160 foot buffer in front of you it will certainly happen. However when it happens the system adjusts slowly just like I would. The blind spot monitoring / cross traffic radars in the rear are equally smart and seem to give warning at a greater distance when the car in the rear is closing at a rapid rate. Backing out of a parking space is much easier now when the radar units are looking for cars & the backup camera can recognize people walking behind you & sound a warning. Overall Im very impressed with the safety systems. The new position prediction lines on the backup camera are a huge improvement over a wide angle camera with no lines line the one on the old Lexus. I also loved my old HID headlights and was very pleased to find the LED headlights gave me an equivalent amount of illumination. The 12 inch navigation screen turned out to be worth the extra money. I can set it up to split the screen to have both nav and my quick dial list showing. The joystick input device takes some getting used to but after a little use I can live with it. The voice recognition system is still poor although better than the nearly nonfunctional system on the old 06 model. I tried to get the nav system to give me guidance to an airport about 60 miles away and the best I could do while driving was to get the system to display the nearest 5 airports - none of which I wanted. I could have pressed my assist button & asked the operator to download the route into my nav system but I just waited until I was within about 20 miles and it showed up on the closest list so I could select it. The nav system does have a HUGE weakness though and that is finding a shortest route during a recalculation. You are better off stopping the car, deleting the route and starting from scratch if you want to modify the route but allow the nav to recalculate a route at the end of your modification. A Garmin GPS does a much better job of both initial routing and recalculating a route. I love the ability to receive texts while driving and having them read to me. Even better is the ability to activate my iPhone Siri from the steering wheel and having her send a text for me using only voice commands. Previously my texts went unread and unanswered until I stopped the car. My vehicle was delivered with the towing prep package. This made it incredibility easy to install a hitch I ordered from a company on the Internet. It took an extra body to help hold it up but in 20 minutes with a socket wrench I had the hitch & electrical connector installed. Im really pleased with my purchase. Some systems are excellent and others are just ok or need some improvement but overall its a very nice package.
