  • In reference to another review dated 1/26/2016 - 2016 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    I at this moment have my new Lexus RX 350 in the shop. I have the same complaints as the review dated: 1/26/2016: My biggest disappointment comes with the engine, it is not smooth and quiet. I also think it accelerates slowly and shifts awkwardly.

  • Hope 2017 changes - 2016 Lexus RX 350

    Controls difficult to see and use because theyre behind the gear shift. Nav screen is gaudy compared to prior year models.

  • Drone noise, vibration, buzzing - 2016 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    If anyone is sensitive to noise, vibration, buzzing feel, then look elsewhere!! I suggest anyone to test drive this car long enough to feel everything that I mentioned befores you decide buy this Lexus, I am very disappointed, frustrated that I had not done so..only trusting Lexus quality. The service department has no clue to how to address this issue, so they are only denying that there is this issue. I can only say that all this noise and vibration is driving me crazy everyday!!!

  • Lexus losing its status - 2016 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    4th Lexus owned and by far the worse. Our 2007 RX 350 was and is amazing. 175k miles and still running strong. After only 4 months and approximately 6k miles we want to trade this end for something that works like the Lexus cars we are accostumed to. Navigation with voice recognition is absolutely a waste of money. Doesnt recognize common language words and is super frustrating. Rides like a truck. One reason we selected RX 350 over the 4Runner was for a car like ride. Last comment is in regards to Entune. Toyota needs to let technology companies do what they do better. Adopt Apple Car play!

  • DROWNING NOISE THEY SAY!!!!!!! - 2016 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    Purchased a 2016 RX 350 March 2016. Love the new look and the new changes that were made to this SUV. This is my 4th RX I have owned. I love the way they look and handle. Except this one has a noise when I excelerate, know mater what speed. It sounds like a vibration coming from underneath like the transmission. Lexus calls it a drowning sound. All I can say is it drives me nuts. Totally unexceptable.Lexus claims there is no fix at this time. Be ware and be sure to test drive at length. Not happy ......

  • Am I the only one who finds the grill scary? - 2016 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    I heard all the great compliments on many levels, but seriously. This car looks angry. I would never buy it. Side and back are fine, but that grill is ridiculous.

  • Disappointed - 2016 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    This was my 3rd RX. Fell in love with the look of the car. But it has a loud droning noise, vibration that you can feel from the tires to the steering wheel. I have had it in the shop and they claim its the exhaust. I hate driviving the vehicle. So disappointing.

  • Disapointed - 2016 Lexus RX 350

    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 -

    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.

  • Very happy I bought the 2015 RX - 2016 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    First, the car is ugly, I was hoping it would grow on me but I just hate it. Rear looks a little like an angry Asian man and the front looks like an old man with a bad fu man chu. If that isnt bad enough the side looks like a transformer. My 2015 is refined, quiet and has great classic lines. The 16 is, in my opinion lost between wanting to be a sports car and a station wagon. The rake on the rear window makes the cargo space way too small and difficult to see out of and the floating roof line is nissanesque. I have been a Lexus guy for about 10 years and a Toyota guy since 1995. Lexus/Toyota needs to fire their designers because the cars are just ugly. I was waiting for the new Camry to upgrade my old one and just cant do it, the design is terrible. Is that why there is a perpetual 0% interest rate on it?
