Mileage has been mentioned by many reviewers. I drive mostly in town. I only get about 17 mpg. I can get up to 26 on the interstate. My 2018 model does not have Apple Carplay. I find that odd and silly. Also there is a compartment on the console to hold a cell phone, but it must have been designed before smart phones because no current phone will fit in it. Stupid. This is my second RX 350. I had such good luck with my 2010, I was happy to get another Lex. I looked at Audi and BMW and MB but you have to pay 10 or 20K more for the same quality and features. Also, it really honked me off that I have to pay $8 a month to keep my remote start working. Ridiculous. This may keep me from buying another Lexus unless they stop that nonsense. Update: I have had the car for over 5 years and absolutely no repairs of any kind. Reliable as an anvil.

We bought this 2018 RX350 in June of 2018 so we've had it for almost 4 months and 3000 miles. My wife is the primary driver but I drive it about twice a week. The reason I give these details is because while shopping for a car for her, we agreed that I also had to like it. We test drove the 2019 RDX with SH-AWD and the 2018 Q5 with Quattro. We opted for the RX because it has a great interior design and quality of built in all areas. This is my second new Lexus and have owned new Acuras, BMW's and Audis. So far, Lexus has been our best ownership experience and together with the interior, we opted for the RX. Audi offers better exterior design but their reliability is poor in my experience and we want to keep this car past its initial warranty where Audi just falls apart. The RDX had the best drivetrain and handling but I couldn't get over the interior and center stack. Our RX comes with the premium sound, premium interior (I forgot the name of the packages) but it does have the wood accents and nicer leather as well as the Navigation package. It's a FWD. We live in sunny California and the AWD system of the RX is a snooze compared to Quattro and/or SH-AWD and only activates upon slipping so not much use for us that justified the premium pay.

Problem with acceleration - otherwise great car

This is my 2nd RX350. I super loved the first one that I had 3 years. This one is a constantly frustrating driving experience over the past 12 months that I've had it. The engine / acceleration surges and chokes the entire time, which is significantly worse when the engine is cold, and consistently annoying when trying to drive. I've had it in the dealership, plus Lexus Corporate had a field service technical evaluate it. I was told the same thing others have reported here online, that it was typical of the model and nothing wrong with it. It makes the other small issues seem worse. The anti collision has come on and threw me into the steering wheel (yes I had my seat belt on) because it mis-read the parked car next to me. Conversely, several times it didn't work when it was supposed to, which almost caused me to hit someone. I have a safety concern that the surge will cause an accident.

Not as good as it should be

This is my second Lexus and it has disappointed. As another reviewer commented, the transmission really is annoying. It doesn't know where it wants to be. Another irritant is the creaking in the rear tailgate that is about to be fixed for the 3rd time. The inside trim is also buzzy. On the plus side, the seats are excellent and the Mark Levinson sound system is top notch. I'm sure reliability will be great. Too bad it has some really annoying problems.
Where did you find this GPS?

For a luxury SUV, I was surprised by the downgrade of an inadequate GPS and temperature gauge. The SUV is fun to drive and is very safe. My passengers enjoy lots of room and comfort. But what is with the backdated GPS? Our service manager told me that the upgrade isn't worth it. So I use my phone. Weird.
