There is one of these that served as an NYC taxi and was still running fine with several hundred thousand miles. Hand-me-down early RXs were the rich girl cars at my high school. This is one of the last great Lexuses where you can feel that quality over all design philosophy.

I do like it. Ordering aftermarket replacement parts is difficult. Amazon has not been my friend in this endeavor, lol. So far I am happy as I drive in the snow. The RX 350 really saved me as I got stuck. With a some pushing and my wife at the wheel I got un stuck. We had personal reasons to be on the road that day. Very important business. In all im happy. I have a 2013 ford Edge 3.5 that I’m happy with as well. Cars are different now. I don’t like the direction things are going. I have a few cars and I wrench on them myself. My intention is to make them last is long as possible

I drive one of these! It has 187k miles and cost 7k during the height of the car shortages the past couple of years. The front differential is leaky, the power steering rack is leaky, the moon roof doesn't open anymore, and it will probably need new wheel bearings and rear struts at some point in the future. You would never know any of this while driving it though. It's a little beat up but it's still running great with a very strong engine. She's a real trooper!

It’s easy to replace the sunroof motor. Four screws hood the light fixture on. Then a bolt or two for the guard under it. Then you can pull the motor. Mine ate the gears unfortunately but the motor was fine. I couldn’t figure out a way to easily repair it, so I got a whole nother sunroof. Removing it isn’t bad except all the headliner stuff takes time. Like 8 bolts or so hold it on. If it’s just the motor, do like I suggested and remove the light to access it. While you have that apart, put some thick white lithium grease on it, and it’ll be good.

This my favorite generation of the Lexus RX suv. And the one in the video has the best wheel choice, I love it. This vehicle in silver, mmm mmm so nice. I used to have a Mazda MPV 4x4 van and around the time that i got the mileage up to 220k miles I got lazy and never checked the engine oil and always ran it low on oil. Made it to 257k miles and it spun a bearing and I had to let it go. It shifted gears like a Mercedes Benz and shifted buttery smooth. That motor though was neglected by me, bet it would still be around.

My family got one of these. We are Toyota folks but we never found it loveable. The men couldn't love it case its so girly looking. Mom wasn't sold on the center console. Not really sure why we got it I really did like the leather. Very soft. It was not very comfortable. I swear the rear axle always sounded like it was going to rip off. My dad said my Camry was much more comfortable inong trips. It was replaced with a 4runner that we all love. Not as soft leather though. I will say good in it for not leaving us stranded like the S60 it replaced.

I’d like to get it for a little less but I need to have a pre-buyer inspection done on it to find out if there’s any issues. I’ve been trying to find some reviews on this particular year model. I did not get good reviews on the Internet. Everything newer than this was fine. I’m really trying to consider this car that is available. Thanks for the review.

I was surprised to find that this car feels small on the inside. Smaller than the 2nd Gen CRV. I’m not particularly tall, but my head feels close to the ceiling with the seat bottomed out. Also the sloped hatch really cramps the trunk storage space. The CRV on the other hand can carry much more. It’s built like a tank though, and is nice and quiet for longer road trips. Just not the space for all your stuff. Around town, slow drives to school dropoffs and the grocery store, I see around 13 mpg. All highway about 22-25, and a mix of around 17mpg. Another odd thing I’ve noticed about Toyota/Lexus…it’s easy for rear passengers to get car sick, so you have to drive real smooth to avoid that. Not just the RX, but other T/L vehicles as well.

The RX is kind of a paradox; you can tell on the inside that it's clearly a Toyota, yet everything looks and feels much nicer than a Mercedes-Benz from the same era. It also looks like an armadillo, but that's cool with me. The RX400h from this generation was one of the first hybrids I ever drove and it really spoiled me. Few other hybrid drivetrains are as smooth or quiet, including most brand new 2023 vehicles.

Yeah, i got an 08 awd one, had it since '16..has 215,000 on it but to buy a new car just seems counter-intuitive. I did just spend 5k on suspension and steering parts, but upgraded the struts and sway bars to help eliminate the body roll. It still rips when i need it to, and is as comfy as ever. I do recommend these as a good used car that only needs minor maintenance. I know i will hafta replace things as it ages, but it's still less expensive than new car payments. And yes, i did, and recommend replacing the oil cooler line as well!

Yes, the perfect Karen car...so we changed 'her' name to Karen...
