Pros: extremely reliable, I bought this car new for 8 years now and 112K miles. Zero problem. Comparing to 2000 BMW 528i, the problem arise as soon at first month and every other months for 4 years. This was German's most reliable car for 2000. Can't imagine on other German cars. Transmission fluid service ($10/quart plus $45 labor) is much cheaper than 2016 Honda Pilot Touring (9 speed) for $500. Just change oil, tires, brake pads and brake fluids and the ride is still awesome. Con: once a while the back seats have rattling noises on concrete roads around North Texas. Something with the rivets and dealer attempted to fix it once. The noise came back less frequent but I can tolerate this noise.

This vehicle was my 3rd Lexus and second RX. It is a very dependable car and I haven't had any problems other than unreliable Bluetooth connections. The dealer says it's the phone, Apple says it's the vehicle. I can connect and stay connected everywhere else so I'm blaming the vehicle. That's my only problem and it's intermittent so you know how that goes.

Wondering if I should have upgraded...

I recently upgraded my 2009 RX350 for a 2012 model and I'm really wondering if I have made a mistake. I'm very pleased with all aspects of the 2012 except one...ride quality. My 2009 rode much more smoothly than the 2012 does. I have the 19" wheels with Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires (P235/55/19). I'm wondering if I went to the Michelin MXV4's would the ride be smoother. I even asked the dealer if he would swap me the 18" wheels for my 19's...no go. I did take the car for a test drive and it seemed smooth enough to me but after driving it on all types of surfaces, the ride quality is not and upgrade whatsoever. I didn't purchase the car for pinpoint handling...I want a very smooth ride.

Comfortable, easy to drive, easy to get in and out of. Easy to load and get things out of back. This is my 4th RX. Gets 20.8 average mileage on mid-grade gas. Has 57,250 miles. Plan to drive it till I can't drive anymore...maybe 20 years.

Our 3rd Lexus RX 350

Have owned 3 RX 350s - all AWD and all with Navigation. A 2004, 2007 and a 2012. The 2012 model is our favorite in many ways - but all have been 100% trouble free. The snow control - part of the AWD system is amazing.
