  Suggestions - 2013 Lexus RX 350
  By builder0524 - April 11 - 3:37 am

  Bought this RX350 in March 2013 and have 30,200 miles on. We got every option except radar and front window navigation. It is what we thought a Lexus should be. If there is a next time would go with Hybrid because of intown mileage. Am not convinced the 19" wheels are right for the car and would have liked to have had 18". The odometer shows consistently higher speed by about 3 or 4 miles than actual speed as measured by radar signs and when running a side-by-side with other 2013 SUVs.

  Smooth ride? - 2013 Lexus RX 350
  By larouse - July 12 - 12:01 am

  Have our 2013 Lexus RX 350 for about a month. It has all the bells and whistles. Over all, I am happy with the car so far. However, I do not agree with those who say it has a smooth ride. This car has a very stiff ride, and I can feel every bump on the road. Unless I am driving on a very smooth surface, the ride is bumpy. Also, I find the seats rather tough. We have a 2011 Honda Accord which is smoother than this car! Maybe, it has something to do with the bloody Dunlop tires. Can not tell about reliability yet.

  Another Class Act! - 2013 Lexus RX 350
  By lscalzo1389 - May 12 - 12:07 pm

  After turning in our 2010 lease a bit early, I bought a new 2013 RX 350. What a difference. The auto rides like on a cloud yet handles impeccably. There have been a number of refinements in the user interface which were all welcomed. Now there a buttons for everything as well as control from the redisigned and easier to use mouse. I like the apps which are useful especially Pandora. The mileage has been good as I am getting up to 24 mpg on the highway. Averaging about 21 mpg so far. All in all a great car and happy we bought another Lexus.

  AM RADIO PROBLEM - 2013 Lexus RX 350
  By casperhrf - January 14 - 2:51 am

  Beautiful design, love it!, very nice ride, a little pricey but worthy, Only problem AM radio stations have static, took car to the dealer in West Kendall in Miami and was told they dont have a fix to the problem yet, Lexus is working on it, and that as soon as a fix is available they will contact me. Service and General Manager said this is a problem with the RX and the ES. Service dept tried to give me a closed ticket and I demanded that the problem of the radio needed to be clearly stated on the service ticket and it should be treated as an open ticket, they promise to follow up and contact me once a fix was available. I wrote to Lexus headquarter and stated the problem

  The best SUV on earth - 2013 Lexus RX 350
  By eddymwu - October 22 - 8:28 pm

  I just purchased my first Lexus a few days ago and it was the best decision that I had ever made. The vehicle is so comfortable and well built. The quality of the vehicle is absolutely outstanding. The interior is very well made and I really do not want to finish my driving! This vehicle has all the features. The vehicle is so quiet and I just love it. I am not sure about realiability yet, but my Toyota experience ( I used to own a 2002 Toyota Highlander) has been great. This will not be my last Lexus. I am sure that I will purchase another one in the near future. Eddy

  My new 2013 RX350 - 2013 Lexus RX 350
  By frairela - September 1 - 4:01 am

  2013 Lexus RX350: -Inconvenient driver storage areas: The only convenient area is the door pocket (which conveniently expands). -The shelf “under” the center console is very difficult to access. -the Lexus Remote Touch System is impressive but not efficient to use. -GPS system - salesman said the database can be updated. He didn’t say it’ll cost $169. -My biggest disappointment - CD player! Window Sticker- listed under “Standard Equipment”, “6-disc CD Changer”. On right, under accessories: single CD/DVD player (deceiving) Since it was listed under “Standard Equipment”, I thought I was paying for a 6-disc CD Changer! I didn’t catch this “sleight of hand” switch.

  Great vehicle with only a few complaints - 2013 Lexus RX 350
  By j0hnnyb1 - July 8 - 4:10 pm

  The 2013 has made subtle changes from the 12 model but the changes are noticeable. The front of the car looks great now and unfortunately those with the 2012 model look outdated and antiquated next to it. The interior is clean, modern, and sleek without goddy ornamentation and flare. Its a luxurious car without looking ostentatious. The ride is smooth and you cant hear the wind outside going 70mph down the highway. The technology is a win, Ive driven Mercedes (2011), Jeep (2012), BMW (2006), and so on... none of them come close to the Lexus for tech. Pandora is a huge plus.

  2013 moves ahead in design - 2013 Lexus RX 350
  By bob446 - January 31 - 4:55 pm

  I traded for a 2013 as I really like the exterior styling changes and the new claret mica color. It reminds me of looking through a sparkling glass of California pinot noir. The interior is still as comfortable as the 2010-2012 versions, and the cabin is still as quiet. No change to the powertrain means the same peppy performance and smooth shifting A/T.

  Elegance, Sophistication, Power - 2013 Lexus RX 350
  By Diane Cartwright - April 20 - 11:28 am

  Lexus spoiled me. After driving my GS 300 22 years and 191,100 miles I thought Id like to drive a newer car. I test drove several Toyotas including the Highlander and was close to being sold until I went across the street to Lexus. Ah, the comfort of my GS 300, the beauty of the elegant lines, gorgeous starfire pearl exterior and parchment interior and supremely quiet inside. How could I ever accept any other car? I cant, never will. This is a most exceptional car and, after looking and researching this model for 3 years, I finally have my dream car. Its about as perfect as one will find with a roomy interior and power on the road. What a beautiful, elegant vehicle. There is only one little annoyance: Im a petite person at 52" and, even when the drivers seat is adjusted as high as possible, I cannot see on the other side of either side mirrors. The size and placement of the mirrors completely blocks my view of any other car that may be close to me. I have to jump up and arch around the impediment to see any car I might hit or any curb I approach in a turn. My GS 300 had the mirrors lower than eye level and I never had a problem seeing any other cars. For this reason my next car will probably be another Lexus but a more driver-friendly, safer view one. Word to the wise: Be sure your Lexus RX 350 Is made in Japan not in North America. Nothing excels Japanese attention to detail, pride in workmanship and acceptance of nothing less than perfection. Teaching American workers about technical requirements doesnt convey teaching ethics and a sense of self worth that extends to Japanese made products. Those are the cultural differences. Youll be able to tell the country of manufacture by the VIN number. When it begins with a "J" its made in Japan. Anything else, like a "2" and its made in Canada. You take your chances if its not made by the Japanese.
