Lexus RX 350 HONEST Questions Answered!

[@braddarden8549]

My 2012 RX was made at the Canada plant and it’s still going strong with 197,000 miles!

[@KaydeRoot]

I totally appreciate what you do on this channel because Lexus has been one of my dream cars for years. I'm super close to finally go purchase one soon and all the information given has helped me narrow down what I am looking for and what I want before I even walk into a dealership.

[@PerformanceLexusNiagara]

That's great to hear!!! I'm glad I could help, please let me know what you end up going with!

[@robertblaney5033]

I purchased a 2021 RX350L because I didn’t want a turbo 4 that requires expensive premium fuel. The normally aspirated engine will far outlast a turbo.

[@Mr21scott]

You're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. And you have no data whatsoever to prove your made-up claim.

[@dstxy]

You could get the Hybrid if you do not want a turbo engine

[@Dechfb6281]

Very interesting perspective between Japan and Canada manufacturing plants.

[@Joseph-namvet]

Don't they use the exact quality control standards & concepts that Duran sold them decades ago?

[@louiswilliams4657]

I finally got my luxury hybrid and I am in love !

[@mikebedford4362]

I have an NX450h+ and am soon to take a long trip and park it at the airport for a month. Any thoughts on precautions I might take to ensure it starts when we return? Great channel, thanks

[@grouchygolfer3725]

That little whinny 4 cyl, sounds like a Isuzu cab over and gets the same mpg as the 6. Wished I had kept my 21 RX. 6:17

[@MR3DDev]

Why did lexus decide to use a bumper grill that looks like someone overprayed when painting the car?

[@kenvik-q5t]

Why Lexus changed to 4-cylinder from the very much reliable and preferred by customers V6 VVTi engine, especially working just in great symbiosis with advanced eCVT on demand transmission for 450h and AWD top of the RX line? And the answer provided is a quite a general statement without going to details. For example, users already reported how the 4-cylinder is troubled climbing mountain even smooth curving mountain highways? Second, the explanation that “recommended” premium gasoline doesn’t mean that regular gasoline cannot be used and without any problem vs. “required” wording like with most turbo even smaller engines is not valid for RX V6 engine used many years until most recently. Yes, regular gasoline can be used without any engine problems with 450h AWD top of the RX line for the very same reason the viewer explained.

[@bradleycrouser]

Toyota/Lexus discontinued the highly reliable six cylinder engine and went to a four-cylinder NOT to improve MPG but rather to comply with government emissions standards.

[@phouvaniththammavong7148]

I love my v6😋 350. 2021😍

[@junioredwards1527]

What’s the best place in the US pricewise the purchase of RX 350 Lexus

[@jlanetman]

I have a different opinion as to why Lexus dropped the V6. my belief is that every car manufacture has to achieve an overall mpg for the fleet. Lexus had to drop the 6 cylinder in this vehicle for this sole reason.

[@rodolfocuenca5752]

Could you do a Lexus TX 350 Honest questions? (The TX in the back) ❤

[@Joe_Murphy-REV_Realty]

YES!!! I'm going to buy a used LS500 or IS500 in the Fall. If the RX350 has a Twin Turbo V6, it would definitely be in the running! But, I'm not buying a 4 cylinder. I'm just not. Thanks for your great videos!

[@JTKels]

In the US, Lexus went to a 4cyl turbo due to govt emissions standards..Also jn the US I believe the Premium + trim is equivalent to the Canadian Luxury

[@PHOTOCONVENTION]

What is your favourite lexus paint colour (all models all years)?

[@dstxy]

Just bought a 2024 RX 350h Luxury Package and on the app it is missing the climate control features that is available in my other car NX 350 Luxury. Any idea why this feature was taken out?

[@infpsych]

How can we get a larger shift knob? Is there a replacement to the tiny shift knobs that they have in the newer models? I like the feel on the shifter in the older models. The new one feels like a nub. Also, you want your hand to rest on it sometimes.

[@louiswilliams4657]

Great job sir !

[@jonyqst]

According the specs the trunk size of Rx is even less than a Rav. Is that really true

[@aussieadventurestimetoplay]

I have the Nx350h luxury sport, and I would love to add a start picture on the head unit like my toyota Fortuner here in Australia, is it possible?

[@BigdogLarry]

@GuuiYae So, do you think it would be worth it to trade in my 23’GX460 for one? 🤔

[@loriehartman2568]

What is your opinion on the tx 350 have they gotten the bugs out of it is it safe to purchase one yet does it have the quality of a Lexus I’ve driven one and I thought it had a lot of plastic in the interior for a Lexus

[@clintsturgill7087]

Love, my RX 350 I was under the impression it was made down in Kentucky?

[@annsmith3192]

lol

[@JoanHeard]

Why did rx350 do away with the split screen. It’s driving me nuts!

[@PerformanceLexusNiagara]

I did love the split screen! However I find when I use Apple Carplay I still sort of have a split screen going on with the Navigation/Music

[@SaifAsif2010]

When will the remedy will come out for the tx 😭😭

[@RTS915-zm4cf]

Do you recommend or is it required using hi-test gas in my 2024 RX350H?

[@ggthx]

Whatever the sticker inside the gas cap says, you have to understand the way they program the ECU, if it says 93 gas then you have to use it because they 'tuned' it that way...

[@iknowyou5391]

Dustin, when does the NX get a spare tire? I love the NX F SPORT but no spare tire is disappointing. 😢

[@GuuiYae]

The V6 story, I don't miss it even a tiny bit. I got my RX 350h 2024, it performs as strong as my 2020 RX 350 gas V6. No struggling, no nothing. Simply smooth and power.

[@msthang125]

This is good to hear because I am leery about getting rid of my V6!

[@Mike-ht1ou]

Hybrid is the one to get for this generation, proven naturally aspirated engine vs new turbo 4 on the 350… wish we can get lower trim plug in 450h in Canada at lower price point

[@jrighteous1984]

I think for some is the reliability of the V6 thats no longer there , adding a turbo just means something else to go wrong, look at the nightmare Toyota is having with the Tundras right now

[@sacredsounds4234]

Are you still okay with the 4 cylinder?It's the only thing holding me back.

[@GuuiYae]

@@sacredsounds4234 Yes, I'm very fine with it. I drive it daily. I don't see it's lack of power to accelerate. Plus it's really good on gas.

[@joeblack1642]

@lexus regular gas can go into RX 350

[@danielmelendez9943]

I take a 6cyl engine anytime over the 4cyl

[@michaelkranyak4525]

4 cylinder engine are turbo charged lawn mower that will not last 50k mi.

[@GXTOLX]

Lexus does not make it's own turbos. Just like it doesn't make the tires

[@brouliy1]

Excellent Q&A. There’s 2 things I would change from my RXh. 1. Air vents sit too low, I have difficulty setting them direct to my face. 2. Coming from Mazda, HUD has blind spot signal, this small feature really improves drivability. I miss that feature on my RXh :(

[@jkovimo8988]

If you need some additional support… Shout out to “Scotty Kilmer” for recognizing the quality of the Canadian Lexus Assembly Plant in Cambridge, ON on the same level as their Japanese counterparts.

[@Mr21scott]

Mine was made in Canada, and the steering wheel is off-center and I have the sagging dash trim piece that the early build models had. So much for "quality".

[@michaelmallon6346]

Scotty stated Japan #1. Canada 2 , Kentucky #3. ​@@Mr21scott

[@WDStock_man]

Don't lie about gas. It's easier if the car is suppose to run on premium them say that.

Is Dustin single? 😌👀

[@Rightonrightoff]

The fact that Lexus is tied to Toyota is its biggest plus. The overwhelming majority of car buyers that have not been brainwashed by car branding and marketing appreciate Toyota’s excellence and Lexus takes that up even further. Lately however even Toyota is no longer looks invincible and with the downsizing/tubroizing of every vehicle in the lineup reliability is becoming questionable. Only time will tell but Lexus being one of the best selling brands in history is due to a great deal of customers appreciating its quality, durability and reliability. Additionally, no one takes so called online car reviewers seriously. KZbin car reviewers are for a bunch of 15yr olds. Car reviewers getting press cars to drive around for two days and out review each other by saying the same thing doesn’t align with the taste and preference of most car buyers. Lexus excels at making very comfortable and quietly luxurious cars. That can never be quantified by a KZbin car reviewer whose desperate to grow his channel 😂

[@chipbarfield62]

My days of buying a RX350 are forever and over and done with. Not only are they ugly but they no longer offer a six-cylinder engine and you couldn't pay me to have a 4-cylinder engine in a vehicle.. I knew this new CEO would ruin Lexus. The past CEO Mr Toyoda would have never allowed any of these changes and I hope Lexus suffers the consequences.

[@BUDS-172]

Ugh that grille

[@Mr21scott]

Don't get the HUD and idiotic programmable steering wheel buttons. They are horrid.

Don’t buy it with the mark levinson sound system!!!! It will shut off when you listen to any song with a strong bass, the only way to get it working again is to pull over and shut the vehicle and restart it

1)The 14 inch displays is really poor resolution not giving sharp images..the graphics/design is really like drawings produced by kindergarten kids..words for road names etc is so tiny that u won't be able to read without moving your eyes forward nearer to it.. 2) u don't even get wireless Android Auto with such a luxurious car 3) the emergency warning/braking only trigger when it's about 2 metre close to the front car..this is far less sensitive and much less effective than the Subaru Forester's system which responds when it's about 5 meters behind a front car.. These are my experiences with my RX350 I stand corrected and would like to hear your honest opinion on these..
