RX is a very Japanese design in that it is very understated and composed on the outside, it spoils the driver and passengers, and is built with quality and reliability first before all other considerations. The color screen models had Bluetooth which was a rare feature for cars in the early years of this generation.

Lexus would have to introduce new engines for other markets. In most European countries, the larger the engine displacement, the more taxes you pay (sometimes a lot more), making the Lexus 3.5-liter engine unsensible to operate in the long run. For example, you would be much better off with an Audi Q7 that offers a 2-liter engine (anything above 2 liters gets taxed additionally). Plus, subjectively speaking, I feel like Lexus goes heavy with a US-focused design, while European buyers would turn to other car brands in terms of styling.

My first Lexus was a 2005 RX330 and it has a special place in my heart. It was the first car that I finally felt safe driving in the snow because boy I use to be scared! 😅 Gained so much confidence that I would pick up my coworkers when it snowed. I ended up buying a Lexus IS & RC and I let everyone drive the RX anytime they wanted to go on a road trip. So it’s been through many drivers and many miles and still drove so SMOOTH. Better than my newer Lexus. I’m a loyal Lexus customer all due to the RX. I do miss that car!

Thought it would be characterless but functional but it's so all round competent and comfortable that it gets under you skin

Overall, the best review for a used car. This is quite hard to find on youtube. Good job! I like it.

I have a 2012 450h and love it, it's a bit of a luxo barge around town but dead quiet and smooth, and it's a mile eater on the open road, did I say I loved it? awesome car!

I have had the current model F-Sport RX 350 since I bought it new at the end of 2016. When I walked out of the showroom after signing on the dotted line (shaking life a leaf), I thought "what have I just done spending $100K on a car!". I have to say, it has been worth every cent. Apart from a set of new tires and a battery, nothing has gone wrong with it and it still drives like the day I picked it up. Servicing is reasonable and the comprehensive insurance is even cheaper than what I was paying on a Nissan Maxima Ti. It is an absolute pleasure to drive, looks smart without looking like a pretentious eastern suburbs nob (i.e. BMW, Merc or VW driver) and is a dream to drive on a long trips with good fuel economy and adaptive cruise control. If you are not careful, you can get yourself into trouble with the power under the bonnet.

It will be in for a new battery in a week - 13 years on 2 batteries. I keep most cars to 200k mI, and this has been much cheaper.

I just love these reviews.

As a former RX270 owner, I really would recommend skipping that one and getting a RX350 or a RX450h. The 270, while smooth as hell, was really gutless, struggling with hills and overtaking. Fuel economy was around 11.5L / 100km for me in my combined city and highway driving. You might as well get the 350 which sips 13L / 100km (i.e. not much more) but makes for a much more enjoyable ride.

I have been driving this exactly model (450h) since 2012, now it has 170.000 kms and i have to say it is fenomenal, easy to drive and manoeuvre, very comfortable and spacious. One downside is the leather, i find it weak and very synthetic to touch. The engine is a rock and the electric battery has never complained at all. All revisions were made in Lexus dealer. Downtown is where this car shows it’s potencial with such low consumption between 5,5 to 6,5 L/100km. Downside: on the motorway has significantly high fuel average (8-9 L/100 kms).

I've got an RX400h, blue with cream interior, stunning & its genuinely fun/sure footed to drive. Built like a tank (but 0-60 in 7.3 secs), everything works and most of them are looked after well & by Lexus (why wouldn't you? - they are honest and treat you like a valued customer). Substantial, but still comfortably fits in a standard parking space. Brilliant all rounder you can trust above 100k miles.

Great review and love the Lexus after sitting in one few years ago. You mentioned the boot is smaller than the X3 and X5, would love to see your review of the BMWs and equivalent Audi as comparison.

Now the 5th Gen RX started popping up on the road and the price of the 4th Gen started to fall, it seems to be a good time to review one!

I've got a 2007, 230,000 miles...drives and runs like a dream. I've also got a 2010 RX350, 125,000 miles...mint-condition, drives and runs like a dream. I just sold my 2003 GX370...great off-roader, big and safe, comfortable.

I own a 2011 rx350 and a 2014 bmw X5. The Lexus still hums along smoothly while I ditched the bmw and it’s absurd repair bills a couple of years ago.

Excellent channel, reviews. I had Rx 450h premiere, 2016 new shape as the models on this review look dated and boring but the new shape sculptured and interesting. Loved the car, smooth as butter, refined, downsides: 1- Fuel economy not great average 28 miles per gallon,occasionally 34 once in heavy non stop traffic for 90 mints fuel economy dropped to 16 mils/G as the hybrid system barely charged. 2-Lexus speech recognition useless, poor accuracy, no speech training in UK like the USA. 3-Ride very smooth but i was surprised that on some bumps it felt occasionally harsh . As petrol prices went up i traded it for the ES 300 H 2019, an improvement at every level although different class, the hybrid system is so much better, fuel economy amazing, all i miss is the Amazing Mark levenson sound system and the 360 camera which really helps in a car this size. Overall excellent car, very reliable.

Yes, "Should you buy one?" Absolutely! There will be repairs...so be ready, but they probably won't be major. Love my 2015 Lexus RX350 Premium here in the US. So much so, that if I had to replace it, I think I would go find a low mileage 2015 RX350 again and avoid the "new" models.

Love Euro cars but not the maintenance. Decided to move over to Toyota/Lexus(2010 RX 450h) to minimize those costs. So far very pleased.

My friend had two RX's; one an RX 350 and the other an RX 450h. Both she put over 300,000 miles on and they were still like new and NEVER gave any issues. I have a BMW X3 Xdrive35i which I love, however, if I could do it over I would have purchased an RX. DOn't get me wrong...I absolutely love my BMW but the LLexus was SO much more comfortable and SO much cheaper to work on. Knock on wood, my Beemer has yet to leave me stranded and has been absolute perfection for the 70,000 miles that I have put on it since 2017. I just know that Lexus is notorious for the Toyota reliablity and BMW is known for better engeneering and driving joy but this also come with expensive repair bills (when something does go wrong).

I used to drive the facelift 450H and my god it was a good car. Tech was a bit out-dated, the ML audio system was very good, and the overall quality was just superb. It was same tone interior but with dark wood trim. Blue jeans did some staining on the seats but it was easily cleanable. And I agree about the ergonomics, one of the best layouts I have ever experienced, everything was exactly where it was supposed to be. Practicality was good for my lifestyle, my oversized Rottweiler had enough room in the back. The only annoying thing I remember was the reverse camera - you could not see the tow hitch from the camera so it was a bit annoying to reverse and attach the trailer. But keeping the hitch cover (that plastic thing that goes on top) on did the trick - you could see it just enough and line the car up perfectly for the trailer. Oh and the Lexus service was just mind blowing, believe it or not but the service was cheaper than Toyota. Drove it numerous times across Europe, 150kmh was very comfortable, around ~170kmh it felt slightly floaty as it was quite sensible to the wind and the steering was quite light. But according to others the F-Sport did not have these issues. I absolutely loved that car. BTW that little cup holder in the front is brilliant, put a small water bottle in there and lower the vent and let it blow cold air on it. Perfect when its 30+ degrees outside 😁

I love that extra cup holder! Sadly they discontinued putting it in the fourth-gen models😢

The only thing you should avoid if you are looking for RX is the air suspension (so as in any other used car). And RX270 is questionable one because of lack of power. But in any other aspects these are very good cars. Someone does not like the appearance, but if you don't want spend a lot for maintenance and repair and want comfortable car, RX is your choice. Cost of ownership for Lexus (except for LS's) is the same as for Toyota.

It's a reliable car , I own a 2010 rx 350 , it have 385 , 000 km . Not a single problems for 11 yrs .

my wife is driving rx400h and I have rx450h , both super reliable and gorgeous cars. 400h has more space and more comfortable ride though , where 450h is more sporty and packed with features.

Gosh you JUST let the cat out of the bag! I'm dying to get my hand on one of these. I'm looking for a 'cheap' but premium SUV with easy to get parts without being expensive, great get up and go. Will compliment my husbands Prado nicely. Hmm.... trying to find the perfect RX 😀

@@jethrohaha Thanks, i'll keep it in mind. I ended up with a 2011 Nissan Xtrail 😁

Further to that could you guys do a guide to buying auction or writeoff cars

Love my 2012 RX450h best car I've every owned, not a moment's hassle

I have a 2012 GS450h and while I really like it, it has been presenting me some pretty hefty bills. As soon as I got it, had to change the transmission oil pump - 1500€. Then the Blind Spot Monitoring communicator module on the right side stopped working which Lexus again quoted 1500€ for (haven't bothered to change that yet). Last year had to change the engine coolant pump which was again close to 1000€ with the regular maintenance and now the front left shock absorber is dead. It being an F Sport with the electronically adjustable dampers, I'm not keen on finding out the quote on that. Also, the promised fuel economy of 6.something is total bollocks. I'm driving very efficiently (with an occasional pull) and I'm averaging about 9.0 l/100km. I can imagine the 6.3 being realistic if you ONLY drive around 50-60 km/h with cruise control without having to stop ever. But still I like that car a lot.

I wasn't far off on what I thought today's review was and for someone who's sleep deprived you did a good job on the review mate 👍. Despite the few sporadic reports for it it seems like a car too consider if you're wanting to upgrade to a bigger car though I'm not sure if I'd go for the hybrid version or not. Also the safety features overview was more like a blockbuster film than most Hollywood movies nowadays lol Good review guys and congrats on breaking 90k subscribers its now the countdown to the silver play button and also congrats on 200 videos being uploaded 👍. Have a good weekend guys and look forward to next week's videos as per usual.
