I thought this was a very unique way to show a review video, thoroughly enjoyed it! Keep up the great work!

[@schxn]

I get the pleasure of getting to drive this every time I take my car in for service and they’re a joy to drive. People thrash this yet they still sell a lot because it’s overall good. Does everything just about right, sort of like the Honda CR-V. Doesn’t excel in any particular category but does everything about right. It’s the second best selling luxury car, just behind of the BMW 3 Series.

[@davidk4682]

Amazing car, and an amazing driver here. Very good driving and shifting and the videography work and editing is top notch. Excellent vehicle too. Great job here. A+

2:32 when he starts driving it

[@rogeriogomes5587]

My brother, the car is sensational, but also the roads and the streets that you pass are perfect. Here in Brazil the roads are pessimistic. But about the car that car beauty.

[@potownrob]

Rogerio Gomes the roads where he is (Michigan) actually are not that good for US roads; you can hear a lot of road noise in other videos. The RX is just adept at soaking up the bumps.

I don't care much about the prejudice of consumer but Lexus is going pretty well

[@LuxuryPookie]

My favorite generation was the 2nd gen, 2008 RX350. The only thing I don’t like about the current gen is how long the front overhang is. I felt like I was going to scrape the curb every time I tried parking it.

[@udeorjiugo1131]

👍Nice driving experience, how do you drive with the gear in M? What are the pedals on the stearing wheel for and do u control them??

I work at Lexus, literally 8/10 cars sold is the RX, great SUVs

[@DJLILM09]

Having a lil fun at the end lol

[@ryand.3858]

Gauges are nice and I actually think it looks pretty sharp from the front. I really can’t stand that rear pillar though, my eye just fixates on that black accent piece(for me it’s a deal breaker). I’m sure many will disagree with me but I think it ruins the sleek lines. The cabin does seem to have a bit more road noise than I’d expect but this is the sporty version so that can be overlooked as can the engine note (which I think sounds pretty cool for an SUV). I don’t have a problem with the interior: it’s reserved and unassuming so it will probably appeal to a large amount of people. Still it does look like they played it a bit too safe and I can understand how others might find it bland. I would prefer to have a bland interior that was extremely well made than a flashy one that feels cheap though.

wooooow lexus rx 350 Good

[@tomasrodriguez9162]

awesome

[@DenyBlackburn]

can you do a Assistance system chapter? I would like to know how well the Lane Keep Assist works on this model, and if there is a automatic parking system? Audi and Mercedes has a Traffic Jam assist from 0 to 60 where you don't need to brake or hit Gas. Does that offer Lexus too for example? Lexus has a confusing description about their packages

[@millipekmez577]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYTEeImanbJ4rZY / you can check lane asist here. there is a park asist with 360 degree cam views but no auto parking system. self driving system can manage a complete stop but you need to press gas to start moving again. it is intentionally confusing because in rx most off the new driving asist systems are actually gen 1.

[@udeorjiugo1131]

How do you control the manual (M) + -pedals on the steering wheel?

[@luckotyga]

I bought one but it didn't come with a navigation system. Can I install it on it?

[@rafmot1774]

Well,if those were miles on the speedometer,I think it is very fast compared to the other f sports model I’ve seen,but it has a lot of road noise

[@rafmot1774]

The way the navigation map moves as the car moves looks really laggy and old. And I absolutely hate that Toyota chime when you turn on the car

[@TheFilmMixer101]

I love how Toyota makes there Lexus's so quiet but the fault I always would see is the latency on hearing an emergency vehicle

[@adamsdailydriveway]

See they went with the Bmw style screen and design, looks good tho.

Mohamed Rufai nope the F-Sport is just an appearance package. This and the GS350 have the same size engine but the GS is tuned more towards power and sport

[@stevenguerra2575]

U ran the red light at 5:25

[@Wasabi9111]

I recently test drove the RX and came away very disappointed. I was looking for a quiet, comfortable commuter car and this car had very intrusive engine and road noise. The ride was jittery and the engine was weak. This video seems to confirm my experience.

[@Wasabi9111]

As disappointed as I am w/ the RX, and Lexus in general, I do have to admit that their cars are extremely reliable. My parents have a 2010 RX since new and it has been trouble free. In the meantime, my immediate family have gone through several new lease vehicles (MBs, BMWs, Honda, Infiniti and a Chrysler) and I have had more issues/recalls w/ these new cars than my parents almost 8 yo Lexus.

[@ammar145]

If you want quiet, comfortable, and power SUV, you would prop want to go with high trims of the X5, GLE Benz, or even the XC90. If you don't like the RX, ur gonna have to raise the budget a bit for what your looking for.

[@747-pilot]

AlphaAMA, but those vehicles are not BULLETPROOF-ULTRA-RELIABLE and DURABLE like the Lexus. Otherwise I 100% agree with wasabi9111. I would not touch this RX with a 10 foot barge pole. The engine and exhaust are so incredibly NOISY, UNREFINED and NOT SMOOTH at all, like luxury vehicle should be. The Acura MDX and MDX SPORT HYBRID are incredibly QUIET by comparison. However they also have mediocre reliability (but not anywhere near as bad as the Germans). The Hybrid with the 3.0L V6 is especially QUIET, and with a 120K/8 year extended bumper-to-bumper warranty might do the trick.

[@ARentz07]

Did you drive the F Sport, or the regular RX? I found the regular one to be quite comfy and quiet.

[@001spring]

wasabi9111 Really, that hasn't been my experience with this car. I found it quiet and was very smooth.
