I drove one yesterday. It’s so amazing. I swear I will be buying one for myself one day. I fell in love with this car!

[NotoriousAloosh]

I don’t care about the outdated interior, the outside looks sooo good. 😍

I’ve watched sooo many Lexus RX reviews, but THIS ONE? Absolute next level! Every single thing is broken down perfectly and detail. And let me tell you… watching this video just made me want a Lexus RX even more. Manifesting that money ASAP so I can finally get one!!

My 2004 RX 330 is really dated but I love it. 33, 555 on it. Put in a backup cam and a new head unit. Awesome!

Great review! I have exactly the same RX350 (2021) with same trim and same color. It's great for long trips with family because of the comfort and space. Personally I think it will be even better with a little bit more power and sharper handling. I hope the next generation RX can improve on those, then I would not hesistate to get a new one.

Very nice review. Was eyeballing this but torn between the RX or the NX. Nice sound system test, T-Mass and Lost Sky sound sublime with that system lol. I instantly perked up as I love those tracks!

I just bought one a few months ago and the best feature is definitely the S+ and the sun roof

Just picked up a nearly brand new looking 2017 Lexus RX350 F-Sport Package 3 AWD in black on red. Super excited. Amazing car as it replaced my 2014 RX450h that was hail damaged. A huge leap forward. 0-60 mph was tested in 6.8 seconds and 15.0 seconds for 1/4 mile by MT so it is decent for an SUV. Another secret is, Lexus DI engines with lofty compression, crave high octane fuel. In the case of the RX, it can run on Octane 89, but there is quite a lot of power loss. I put Octane 94 and definitely a big difference in how it feels in Octane 89 vs 94.

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, The best thing about this car, is that it’s guaranteed to have 10 years free of major problems!

When i put my Gen4 is Sport+ its like a magic trick. I swear a turbo just appears out of nowhere. My throttle becomes EXTREMELY responsive and the rx just seems to leap forward, seriously...

[chaseteter]

Firsf Gen RX are available very clean and reliable for $4-5k rust free here in Texas. Seems like a slam dunk for a comfy beater. But I just can’t bring myself to do it. I’ve never driven one but it screams vanilla louder than a Prius to me. On paper they seem like a great buy.

For the record, rx 450h drives so much better than the rx 350. Night and day difference IMO. If I. Pull do it over, I would’ve bought the 450h. All good, still extremely happy and proud of this beauty. Got it in Grecian Water for the wifey mainly.

[Mcstudios]

My Dad loves his RX but as someone who personally owns the RC 350, with more power...I cant wait for Lexus to replace this with something that makes more power. Otherwise I'm Lexus all the way!

[damionjordan]

Good review…please note that getting the navigation system doesn’t mean you’ll automatically get the Mark Levison system…it will cost more for both!!!

[wandersonrocha]

I own a RX350 sport since 2016, everything is good but road noise and wind noise is too much on this vehicle, my only complaint, not sure about newer ones .

[igeekone]

I would wait for the refresh. This is old and the NX really shows it.

[oldcodger]

I test drove a Rx350 F Sport that had 25000 kilometres, and the seats had soft edges.
I was disappointed that my F Sport seats had hard edges. I have the heated seats as an option, and at 6000K The seat edges have softened.

[moizuddinkhanmohammed]

@TheTopher Love your POV videos, one question. Do the paddle shifters works in the F Sport?

[comments.cuestionsandconcerns]

thanks. so I'm guessing the regular F sport is 2 wheel drive and the F sport handling is AWD?

[PianobyRamsey]

Engineering background here. One of my favorite things to do is review cars and SUV's I can't afford. At least my friend onws a Lexus Dealership and I get to test drive them for 6 months, and write a review. I love the exterior and the 309 HP plus 30 combined MPG. Unfortunately I don't like the price and the interior. Price for these guys with a few basic options could be about $60, 000 and Lexus doesn't have a horrible interior but kit's not a Mercedes or a Cadillac

If you’re not driving an F port you might be able to get away with 87 regular octane gas but if you’re driving the port variant then you might wanna go for the 91
