Our fuel mileage was in excess of 25, both calculated and per the fuel economy read out (25.1 going and 25.6 returning).
We found that the readout and the hand calculating method to be within less than .1 MPG of each other, pretty accurate it seems, although time will tell.
Also found that the speedo error is really small, as I compared it to my Garmin readout, we brought the Garmin along to compare against car systems including the nav, finding the on-board systems to be surprisingly accurate. The speedo error looks to be within less than 1% and it showed on the slow side.
The seats, although very comfortable, could sure use some more side bolstering, they are relatively flat. When we were doing some spirited canyon driving lack of more side bolstering was very evident.
XM radio may be great in the plains states, but it sucks in the mountains, even trees seem to be able to block the signal.
The Bose radio system is good, certainly better sound quality than the standard Lexus system we had on our RX.
And yes, I did get the oil changed, and compared with Lexus, the cost was quite a shock - $35 vs. $135 –
The only places, in North America, where you might want to consider it is if you do a lot of driving in a Southwestern summer or an upper Midwest/Canadian/interior Alaskan winter.
