Alex, you really do give the absolute BEST reviews on cars of all classifications. I appreciate that you give very thorough and unbiased information. I also love the fact you don't try to sway us with music and scenery. Although I find it entertaining, I also like a plain, basic review. After watching your reviews, all I have to do upon visiting dealerships is test drive. That way I don't have to listen to the salesperson's pitch, when they really don't have a clue, or assume I know nothing about cars. Thank you for this review. I'm now seriously considering this model.

Unlike most people, I actually love the exterior of this car!

Just bought one because I'm a big fan of Alex on Autos and his great detailed reviews. Second car I've gotten because of this guy!

Your reviews are so comprehensive and insightful there isn't anyone else close to the quality of your reviews.

This is, BY FAR, the best review I've ever listened to on Youtube. What an excellent explanation on the details. There is NO ONE on Youtube that has your competence and skills. I've been the top salesperson in real estate in 5 major cities and was #1 in the country selling cars when I started my sales career! BRAVO! You nailed it!!

I just got mine 2 days ago. I love it!!! I used to hate how the rx looked. But when the new style came out in was hooked.

Coming from a Lexus owner, if you are on the market, try to jump to the Mark Levinson sound system. The regular system is totally fine, the Mark Levinson is a much more premium experience. Our ES has the Mark Levinson, its as if the person singing is in the car with you, that clear. Our RX sounds good, no complaints. It's just not nearly as vivid as the Mark Levinson. You'll notice stuff in your music that you never noticed before ☺️

Really digging the 4 screen set up you got there for the driving portion of the review! Keep up the good work homie!

Very stylish. Super cool looking for a CUV. Lexus was the inventor of CUV/Cross over, then BMW and Mercedes and everyone else followed. Before Lexus, SUVs were based off truck chassis, used to jerky and harsh.

Great Review Alex. I am glad that Lexus is making more dynamic driving vehicles. That fact combined with Lexus reliability and lower than german maintenance costs should continue to make these sell like hot cakes. And that fact that it is more powerful while running on regular gas is a slam dunk IMO

[lavere]

After doing my own research and watching your review, I made the plunge and bought my executive package rx last week!

[kenwingo]

You have the best, most concise and informative reviews.

I find it particularly strange that the NHTSA won't let Lexus vehicles have sequential turn signals but they have no problem with letting the Ford Mustang have sequential turn signals.

Keep up with the great work

I'm glad to hear that Lexus has sorted our the ride & handling of the RX. A little over a year ago, I participated in a Cadillac-sponsored ride / drive event, featuring the RX 350, the Acura MDX, and Cadillac SRX. We were divided into groups of 4, and rotated as passengers & drivers among the vehicles. All 4 of us in our group agreed the MDX was far and away the better driving vehicle, that it rode better, was more comfortable, and peppier than the other 2. We also agreed the RX was pretty bland in terms of ride & driving dynamics, about equal to the SRX. The interior fit & finish was about equal among the 3, but the MDX came away as the one we'd all buy were we in the market for a midsize crossover. Would be interested on your take of the 2015/16 MDX with the new 9-speed ZF gearbox, in comparison to this RX.

Thank you for a very comprehensive review of the Lexus RX. As we head into the 2017 model year my wife and I are in the market for a high end luxury crossover to replace a very dated Subaru. This review has told me that Lexus needs to be on my short list.

[LivingInPakistan]

In my opinion you are the best car reviewer on youtube apart from saabkyle. I actually enjoy watching your videos, even videos of cars I have no interest in.

[donkeydicked]

It's not an X3 competitor it's an X5 competitor which is what i tested before buying the Lexus . Way better ride, more equipment, better seats and more rear leg room . Oh and it won't break down either !

[tomjones]

I'm seriously looking at this for my next wow, that grill is just plain fuggly.

2016 Lexus 350 RX looking pretty sharp.  Thanks God Toyota did not follow Honda's trend by eliminating the gear shifter stick and use a push button system (which I hate).  I'll put it in my short list when I am in the market for a new car :).  By the way, how come you never seem to mention the AWD system on the Lexus ~ is it so simple AWD system that there nothing to write home about?
