  • Return of the Lexi - 2015 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    The RX is a soli, reliable, safe cushy car. Not a fun to drive as some cars, but soooo reliable and it takes regular gas! The only problem I have with the car is the voice command system. Due to the placement of the microphone, it just doesnt consistently recognize voice commands. I usually just use my phone which is sync to the car to to request phone numbers and by-pass the annoying voice recognition feature.

  • Misleading Fuel Economy - 2015 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    I had a 2006 RX 350 for 10 years and absolutely loved it. I wanted to purchase the Volvo SUV but my husband convinced me to stick with Lexus since we had such a great experience previously. Unfortunately this 2015 RX350 is no that great. The navigation is very annoying and takes so long to enter an address, I prefer to use the map app on my iphone so can can just say the address and off I go. I really miss my armrest... I know its something most people dont care about but I like to have an armrest where it meets my elbow. My biggest complaint is the gas economy. Its supposed to range from a minumum of 18 MPG local. It only gets 14 MPG on average!!! which is worse than the V8 Ford Explorer Limited that I had from the 90s. This is a huge gas guzzler - thank goodness the gas prices have gone down. On a positive note, I love the seats, they are very comfortable with beautiful color option of "saddle"... or brown. Its very roomy and looks great. The service from Lexus is also always top notch.

    The RX350 is a sweet ride. It is quiet, smooth and comfortable. I love the parchment & black interior.

  • Great all around suv. - 2015 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    This is a great all around mid sized suv. Its very comfortable. visibility is great all around. parking sensors provides extra aid in parking in tight spots. There is more than sufficient amount of space for 4 adults. The cargo area is large. Gas mileage is reasonable for its class. Power is also reasonable for its class. Snow and ice handling is excellent even with all season tires. Very comfortable and relaxing on long trips. Drove it to Las Vegas last summer, it proved to be an excellent long trip suv. With 8500 miles driven, has not been to the dealer for any type of repairs or adjustments. Excellent fit and finish.

  • Gridlines Disappeared - 2015 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    Overall I love this car, however, a recent experience has opened my eyes to what Lexus is willing to do to create a positive customer service experience. I have had this 2015 RX for 2 months. I brought it in to service this week due to the fact that the gridlines disappeared when backing up. I am being told now that the navigation system in the 2015 and camera system does not come with gridlines. I feel that these folks are calling me a liar. Why on earth would I take my car for service and ask them to fix this issue if they were never there to begin with. Service manager has contacted Lexus technical assistance and checked other 2015 models and is basically stating that the car was never equipped with the lines. I am not a happy customer........Those lines helped guide me when backing in to a tight space.

  • Highlander has better interior and ride - 2015 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    This review is based on a test drive, not ownership. Shopping for a mid-sized, crossover for the wife to replace her 15 year old Sequoia. The kids are grown so it was time to move down on size and up in luxury. I really thought the RX would be a great fit. The wife wants a Toyota as we have had great experience with them from a reliability standpoint but she wants something easier to handle in parking lots (which would be damn near anything compared to the Sequoia). We dont like the wild styling of the new RX so we went to look at CPO 2015s. As soon as we got in, we were both taken back. Everything I read talked about the quality of the interior materials. Huh? Where are they looking? I saw a sea of cheap looking, hard plastic. The door panels were just slabs of plastic as was most of the dash. The Sequoia has a much nicer interior. Then we drove it. I didnt expect a sports sedan, or even an engaging driving experience but this was horrible. It wallowed around turns and floated over undulations like it was on springs with no damping. Disappointed, we went down the street to the Toyota dealer to check out the Highlander. What a difference. The interior was much nicer, with nice, soft simulated leather covering the dash and soft inserts in the door panels. And it drove much better, handling seemed secure and bumps smoothed out. I just amazes me that for these two corporate cousins, the Toyota drives better and has a more luxurious interior for a lot less money than the Lexus.

    You get what you pay for. This is a luxury vehicle that is worthy of its reputation.

  • Love this car - 2015 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    Walked into dealership on last day of Lexus December sale which ended jan 4. They had the exact car I wanted and made me a deal I couldnt refuse. Car is solid, rides smoothly and is very accommodating for a 61" 200 pounder Ive had an BMW X3 and a ml350 and I like the way this car drives much better. I love the way the rear seats slide forward for more cargo room . I didnt like the look of the 2016 . It looked like a murano to me. If you can still find a 2015 model, buy it. Its a very smooth driving car vehicle

    I have owned other makes of cars but I keep coming back to Lexus because of the dependable quality and the luxurious interior.

  • Happy Camper So Far - 2015 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    It is the last year of the true midsize RX, the 2016 is larger. Still a happy camper after 4000 miles, and Iam really happy with the mileage, 28 highway at 70 with air on and 22 plus in true stop and go driving. The only thing I dont like is the throttle response is quite quick.
