2014 Lexus RX350 F-Sport Reviewed and Driven in Colorado

We drive the Lexus RX350 F-Sport in Boulder, Colorado. Does this small SUV earn it's F-Sport badge? What does a badge even mean anymore? Ryan tests it out in the snow and on windy roads to find out.

The Lexus RX350 F-Sport starts at $48,535 and features a 270hp 3.5-liter V6. The model tested features Lexus' optional Active Torque Control all-wheel drive.

Lexus must be doing something right, the RX remains the top selling SUV in North America.  Guess you can't plz everyone..

[OffRoad-jhdo]

Lexus and Toyota are rate #1 as the most reliable vehicles in the WORLD!!!! Enough said....

Man, crap review. Take a look at a BMW X5 or an Audi Q5 with say on. You’ll find them in the workshop looking ragged. The Lexus will still feel crisp. Materials are top class. Lexus’s 3.5 is one of the best motors ever made.

Bad smoothness and reliability nothing can compete with a Lexus!

This guy doesn't know what a review is. Very little fact. Only talked about the engine and the F-Sport badge. No useful review info. FYI. Pikes peak isn't anywhere near Boulder, especially not "a few miles"

I really like that Luxurious big stick. I think it has chrome. I have a 2013 RX350 with 121, 000 miles and it drives smooth as silk and looks close to new. It has been garage kept, but even if it wasn't garage kept, it would still hold out because it is a Lexus.

this car is so gorgeous oh my goodness

This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. By the way - the road was never covered with snow - and, I think the problem was the operator.

It's obvious you don't like the Lexus brand" If you can't give an unbiased opinion you should get a different job!!! You should just go to work for Audi since you like them so much!  

[nestorulloa]

What is his obsession with "flooring it"? 

Thank God you do not work for Lexus obviously you have no idea what the consumer wants when it comes to purchasing high end suv's like these. Just know this ... Lexus obviously knows how this SUV should be because it invented the segment and continues to dominate sales vs. its' competition month by month.

[Jonathan-dlnb]

Does this guy realise it's meant to be a luxury SUV to cart your family around in comfort and safety? It's not meant to be some super handling sports car that you can throw around corners....

[Amir-ieyz]

This guy is clueless. Any Lexus will outlast any bmw Mercedes or Audi! Crafted line f sport. There is a huge difference between the f sport and the regular Rx. Coming from a guy that used to drive only
Mercedes for years. Finally we switched to Lexus and never look back you can’t beat the reliability.

[keepittrill]

rear action....big stick!! what's this guys deal

[gabrielcapati]

F Sport is practically adds more sporty design elements and some minor tweaks on the suspension or in this case an 8 speed transmission while an F car is the sportiest that Lexus offers like the IS F or the upcoming RC F

[paulfazi]

Folks don’t realize how heavy this car is, thanks for pointing that out. My only complaint with it, is the range - it’s gets at best 20-21 MPG on a measly 19 gallon tank, too small!

[axsb]

this dude went from its not sporty to its kinda fun! lol

[chrismunsey]

This vehicle has a snow mode for driving in these conditions. Pushing that button would’ve helped it to handle the snowy roads better than shown in this video.

[curseknight]

F sport and F is like M sport package and M 2 very different things.

[lukem]

It's hard to find honest reviews. Most Americans prefer plush, ultra reliable and shiny cars. Interior details..? When you compare with GM products, Lexus isn't bad at all.

[kenji]

I've seen other videos by this guy and he seems to be heavily biased towards non-german cars.

Even when you think he finally found something good, he'll follow it up with "it's not as good as (audi/mercedes/bmw)."
