  • A sharp SUV, NAV is excellent! - 2007 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    I looked at several models before deciding on the RX, my first SUV. Its a stylish vehicle, and the features have been great. I drive a lot and have moved as well, so the NAV has been priceless for ensuring I never get lost. It has great features Im still discovering after several months such as being able to preview your route. I love the interior, though as a Jaguar owner, some things have been an adjustment such as the wiper system, and the fact that the seat does not retract when you get out, only the steering wheel. The rear seating is great, esp. the center console which has plenty of room for drinks and snacks for the kids, not the flimsy front of seat you find in some cars.

  • Mixed Bag - 2007 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    My wifes vehicle, replacing her 02 RX 300. Positives include a far more powerful V6, with the guts the RX 300 lacked. Interior design is not as nicely appointed as the old one (Coach Edition). Steering is too low-geared, although the turning circle is improved over the RX 300. The handling exhibits too much sponginess, body roll, and understeer. The stereo is excellent, and the ride very smooth and quiet except for the annoying rattle in the dash! This, frankly, is very disappointing, as there is some rattle that appeared at about 5K miles, giving the impression of poor build quality, and not Lexus. Will have the dealer see what gives, but not encouraging in a new car.

  • New Lex RX 350 - 2007 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    All in all Im satisfied with it, 2nd Lexus Ive owned, I cant decide whether I like it better than my 93 LS 400 though. The vehicle is so smooth that it kind of takes away from the driving experience. That and the blindspots are my only complaint. Also, the standard stereo is mediocre at best for a vehicle of this caliber. Definitely opt for the Mark Levinson system if possible. The exterior is classy and modern, the interior is gorgeous and ridiculously comfortable, and again it drives so smooth its pretty much not "fun" to drive. Thats good for some people I suppose.

  • Almost Perfect!! - 2007 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    This is my third Lexus and my second Lexus SUV. In my opinion, this is the most advanced vehicle Ive ever driven!! And as such, is a pretty good value for the buck!!!! I will be purchasing another RX 350 very soon, unless the new LS 600h stickers for less than 70 grand!! HA HA!! Anyway, if youre out there trying to decide on a new luxury ride, the RX 350 is your best bet!!!

  • Avoid the Navigational System - 2007 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    The Lexus is a fair car but way overrated. The Navigational system does not allow the driver or passenger to make adjustments while the vehicle is in motion. Lexus refuses to acknowledge this design issue and stonewalls its customers...so much so that owners are talking about class action litigation. If you must buy this model year, shop around until you find one without the navi. The engine has high noise...sounds like a 1970s diesel. Lexus advises that it is due to their decision to go with a mechanical timing chain. I would rather have a quiet vehicle and pay the cost to replace. High wind noise at highway speeds. Buy an Acura, you will be much happier.

  • Lexus Perfection - 2007 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    Just purchased the new 2007 RX 350 AWD with Premium Package Plus with options (18" wheels, towing, HID auto level, moonroof, gen 5 navigation, auto rear hatch function, bluetooth wireless). Simply a work of perfection! New cars are my vice and this one is at the top of the list. Even more refined than the 03 Lexus SC430 I had. The power and handling is far superior than the RX 330. A bit pricey, but if you are looking for a reliable, luxurious, sporty but classy medium sized SUV, this new RX 350 is worth considering.

  • Well Engineered Lexus RX350 proves itself again! - 2007 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    Find one that has been well taken care of and it will serve you well. It is an awesome little SUV, and does pretty much everything well. Put the best tires on it, for your type of driving (snow, hi performance, rain, etc.) and look for quiet tires in that category, it helps the interior noise level. It lacks the USB ports and higher technology you see in cars of this caliber today, but other than that, it is an amazing car. Even works well off-road, if you are gentle about it. Great in the snow!

  • Best cross-over SUV - 2007 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    Ive owned this vehicle for about a year now, and this is the best vehicle out there for the money. This is a luxury vehicle, not a high performance sports car. Lexus sets the bench mark and now every other cross-over SUV out there is making lookalikes. The cabin is very quiet and comfortable. The ride is smooth, not stiff like some other SUVs. Quality materials and craftmanship is very evident. This vehicle is heavier than your sedan, but it has lots of power for your thirst. Lexus really design this vehicle to not only satisfy your needs, but to pamper you. Also styling is top class, better than BMW X5 and or the Mercedes look.

  • Great Car Period - 2007 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    Great car to drive. I got the Levinson premium sound system and it sounds great. All the gadgets on this car take a little time to get accustomed. This car has plenty of power. I also have a 2004 Volvo turbo after driving the RX when I got into the Volvo I thought I had the hand brake on.

  • Smooth - 2007 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    If satin and velvet had a baby, it would be called Lexus. I have no complaints. Reliable, practical, safe, and rides/drives like a dream.
