Lexus RX350 Review | 2010-2015 | 3rd Gen

[@mickeyhartsell6096]

To me I think this lexus is the best looking out of all the generations.

[@MugatuJag]

This one is very good-looking, but personally I think the 2004 to 2009 is classic, still looks modern, same reliability just doesn't have all the text features of the new ones, and the second generation you can actually get a panoramic moonroof which you couldn't get in this generation, it was rare but they still had it

[@MugatuJag]

@james 699 I completely agree, also the second generation came with a multi panel moonroof or panoramic roof which while rare was a great option. I just waste the second generation had a keyless entry and start, I was surprised they didn't offer it for being the best selling model, in 2004 the Lexus LS had keyless go

Hello! Thx for your thoughts on this vehicle!🤗 I’ve been looking for a pre owned Lexus for a while now, and although I would love to stay with 2end gen ones( which I agree look plenty good) but as I do my due diligence and research all the real world feedback/ reviews, I’m finding over and over again that there were very costly repairs that most had with the older ones that in no way could I ever afford. They were very common complaints that could end up catastrophic😔 Things like water getting inside cabin foot wells, oil cooler hoses, water pumps, rear differential, bushings, power steering replacement….😢 need I go on? These problems were not just people complaining, they were actually affirmed by Lexus themselves, yet no recourse was given by them, the customer had to flip the bill in the end. The average repairs totaled 6,000$ and the saddest thing is they occurred early on. So my question to you is are these 2010’s and above have these horrible issues that you know of?? I hope you can answer this for me because I may just skip over this car if this is still going on. Much appreciated:)

I had it checked out by a few mechanics before purchasing and had to have the timing belt replaced and water pump for 850$ So the dealer brought cost down to 10 from 11,000.00.

MDX is larger and has a 3rd row seat so that may be a reason to go that route. Otherwise, I prefer the styling and interior on the RX. On the other hand, if you don't need the extra space in the MDX you should take a look at the RDX. I'd go RX over the MDX but between the RX and RDX I think I'd lean RDX.

[@FRob911]

@@DrivenCompanion good review btw. I like the look of the MDX better but I heard there was carbon building in the engine from 2010-2013. The lexus seems more reliable and better fuel economy but more expensive. The Rdx would be too small.

[@rajkirannatarajan9276]

RX’s 2GRFE motor is ⛰ solid

[@martyar15]

MDX has had transmission issues and AWD issues depending on the years. If you need third row go for MDX if not go for Lexus. I've had 2 RX and they are bullet proof.

Hi! I have a question.. what happens if I use normal gas on it i means not premium.. I’m about to buy that car model 2012 6L I don’t know if it’s a good change because I have Lexus rx350 2009 .. please give me your advice 🥺

[@roostersideburns3440]

people really dont get lexus..german cars resale value plummets because of all the fun to drive add ons and engine shenanigans

[@miryamamar3420]

The reviewer missed mentioning the maintainance cost on this Lexus vs German vehicles. Not only the 2GR-FE and the powertrain is more reliable but also this car shares many other mechanical parts with the well built Sienna and Highlander which makes parts available for cheaper than German vehicles and not to mention the electronics malfunction with German and the cost to repair. I know people who sold their German vehicles and bought Lexus (they sold their headache and bought a peace of mind). To the average consumer that is worth alot when making a decision to buy a lexury vehicle.

[@DrivenCompanion]

Agreed but the driving experience between Lexus and German alternatives is entirely different. While the german models are dynamic and fun to drive the RX is essentially a dressed up Toyota and drives like one. If saving money is the goal but you want some luxury I'd just buy a Venza or Highlander Limited.

This guy just recommended buying a 6 years used bmw or Audi over a Lexus. Lol lol find a new profession bro.

It’s too boring having a car that doesn’t leave you stranded randomly in the middle of nowhere. Think of all the adventures you are missing by buying a Lexus RX 350.

I’m considering buying a used 2006 Lexus RX 350 but was told that it has a squealing sound when you first start up the car but once you drive it for a little bit the squealing goes away I’m hoping that’s not the timing belt can somebody tell me what that could be before I buy this car

Correction the 2010 - 2015 RX 350 doesn't require premium fuel it requires a minimum 87 octane which is regular fuel premium fuel is optional

[@GhostFacedKiller]

Sorry 3rd gen requires higher than 87 Oct but can use 87 so long as you understand what the side effects are , knocking lower fuel mileage and performance, if you want your lexus to last don't use anything less than 91 oct..

[@MarcG7424]

@@GhostFacedKiller Requirements are 87 or higher 87 being the minimum premium gas can improve performance but it's not required even the cap says unleaded fuel only not premium fuel only I own a 2012 and only use 87 and it has never knocked

@MarcG7424 sorry but my gas cap says premium only, where i live premiumis not 87, but your car is your car you can use whatever you want mine gets the best ,so it will continue to do what it does when I'm ready to pass it on to my daughter

Can you run the 2010-2011 models on 87 grade gas? According to the Edmunds app, Lexus dropped the fuel requirement from premium gas to 87 grade gas, so I wonder if the previous model years of this generation can run fine on 87 grade gas

[@GhostFacedKiller]

You can but it's not really recommended because it can cause knocking, lower fuel mileage and performance. I don't use anything less than 91, and 93 when I can get it . Current mileage 281,000 miles and runs great

[@rajkirannatarajan9276]

Old tech and drives like a buffalo but the later generation 2GRFE engines are bulletproof. Resale value is stellar. Buy an x5 if you want a dynamic drive and newer tech but expect to pay more for maintenance and repairs.

This generation got to be the best looking . New models are obnoxious with thier huge ugly front grill, just my opinion

I personally like 2nd gen more but mostly from a styling standpoint. Features and performance is improved for the 3rd.

Mike C appreciate the comment, the only thing I don’t like on the 3rd gen is the way the radio has that weird curve in it. Would like a more symmetrical look.

[@bren.nan_]

My family just bought a 2015 RX350 non-F sport, for $25k USD. It's black and has ~50k miles. Any thoughts on this deal? It doesn't have any notable options like the sound system, nav system or the luxury package, so I feel like even though it's low mileage 25k USD is kind of steep.

[@LiberalAsshat]

I recently bought a silver 2014 with comparable mileage for $24k. It's in perfect condition, even still smells like a new car, only flaw is a small dent/scrape on the passenger front door. Sounds like $25 K for a year newer is about right.These have higher resale values than German cars because they are way more reliable. I plan to drive mine for 10 years. You can't do that with a 9 year old BMW or Audi without spending many thousands of dollars fixing constant mechanical failures. Considering my other options for $24k, and the reputation of RX's for reliability, I think a 9 year old, low mileage Lexus was a better choice then a newer X5 or a Durango or something.

Depends on how many fewer miles we're talking and how much the body style matters to you. I would expect a well maintained RX to go well past 300K.
