    Please be sure to drive this vehicle in traffic and slow RPM. Has a shifting issue when you roll in and out of the throttle. Lexus says it is a "characteristic" of the vehicle. It is very frustrating to drive and has turned me into a Lexus hater. Shame on Lexus QC! Would not purchase another.!

    I have owned a 2002 1st generation RX300. Bought it as a CPO and loved it. Smooth, tight, solid in everyway. It had good road feel. This new 2017 4th generation is none of those things. Even though my wife bought this car for the luxury and comfort of Lexus, it only partially delivers on that. The feel of the steering feels so disengaged from the road. My 2011 Genesis had complaints about its electric steering but it is orders of magnitude better. The 12" Navigation works but it is a mess. Steep learning curve and it is difficult to manage while driving. You really need to pull over or futz with it at stop lights. But the biggest issue is the lousy buzzing feel we get through the pedal and floor board of the driver. Mostly when the engine is under load. Lexus is being very cagy about this. Sometimes there is an admission of the problem, and other times, you get an answer of "this is normal". Its either an exhaust issue, tranny issue, or engine mount issue. This is at least the consensus on clublexus.com (be sure to read the over 60 page thread on this topic before you buy this car.) I wish I had.

  • Trust is completely broken on Lexus brand. - 2017 Lexus RX 350

    This was my first Lexus with some positive expectations based upon the reputation it has carried for decades. After one year, the whole family has concluded that the car was actually not good. I drive 4-5 cars concurrently and have experience most foreign cars including German luxury ones, Japanese luxury brands and many Korean brands. I would say this is the worst experience I had. Performance is bad. Horse power is not enough, handling is rough. Surprisingly, pretty noisy car. Comfort? I don’t know what today... I just feel more tired when I drive this car compared to all of my cars (Mercedes, BMW, Honda, Acura, Hyundai, Kia, even Proche, etc).

  • A Lexus RX350 in every garage. - 2017 Lexus RX 350

    If it was up to me, everyone would be driving a Lexus RX350. This is my 3rd one since 9/9/99 and they get better each time. Other than the 2017 we are still driving a 2004 and have not had any problems with this RX330. If I had not wreck the 99 RX300 Im convinced it would still be in service. I swerved to miss another SUV and turn the RX300 over.We had to be excavated through the moonroof. The only injury to me or my wife was my pride.

    Always check with Edmunds.com before making any decision on a vehicle.

  • Still the best in its class - 2017 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    After years of waiting for a same size Vehicle to dethrone the Lexus RX, I gave up looking. The Lexus RX is and has always been the best all around ride in its class from the very first day it arrived here. Comfort & Safety & Handling were always its best points and now it looks great too. Highly recommended. Ive driven from New York to Florida in this Lexus and I would never drive anything else. Just try to get anything close to this machine for the price? Impossible.

  • Poor redesign of rear entry/exit - 2017 Lexus RX 350
    By -

    In an effort to have floating roof line, the designers failed to notice the passenger comfort and safety as they exit the vehicle. Not so much getting in, but one gets out without paying attention to the roof line, you could most certainly get hit at the temple if you dont lean forward as you get out ...... Its disappointing to see this from Lexus, not to mention their interior is cluttered with too many types of cheap materials and finishes, which does not flow well. Gives a very clumsy finish. If not, I would have bought it. I liked the BMW X5 interior, but with all their reliability issues, Ive settled with Porsche Cayenne.

  • Beautiful Vehicle! - 2017 Lexus RX 350

    If you are trading in, go to CarMax first and see what they would give you for your car. Know what you want to pay before you go to the dealership. The exterior of this car is amazing....drivers sear could be a bit wider, to make it easier to enter-exit the vehicle. The center console is very high, almost like a table...makes it difficult to reach over to the passenger side or glove compartment to retrieve items. Overall: love the car!

  • Do not buy or lease this car! - 2017 Lexus RX 350

    Bad transmission , vibration most likely caused by muffler. Lexus will not do anything about it. Should have purchased a Ford -much better quality. Dealer will not tell you about the problem the RX350 has- DO NOT BUY! Will never purchase another Lexus.
