Default What are your 3 MOST favorite things about the RX?

We've all seen the thread about the three LEAST favorite things that folks like about the RX, but what about the three MOST favorite things? Let's hear 'em! . . .

Mine are:
  1. Nav
  2. High-Intensity Discharge and Adaptive lighting (does this count as two items? )
  3. When the steering wheel automatically retracts and tilts up and out of the way when exiting the vehicle

I have more, but I'll post those later...

1. Nav also tops my list along with it's integrated ML audio system.
2. Quality materials and appointments exude a feel of luxury. Not gaudy, but understated richness.
3. Fuel economy. Since purchasing my RX330 AWD in November of 2004 I've averaged 22 MGP overall. I frequently get over 26 MPG on the highway at 70+ MPH.

Overall this is one of the all-around best of the 40 or so vehicles I've owned.

In no particular order.

1. Driving Experience. This is fun vehicle to drive, with its car like feel, taller vehicle. It corners very well and is smooth at high speeds.

2. Quality of Materials and Workmanship throughout the vehicle.

3. Nav - Now that I know how to override to enter destinations while driving, or actually my passengers can.

1. Overall quality - and silence, as compared with most other brands.
2. Headlights - still get a charge out of the self leveling when you fire it up.
3. Highway manners - non-tiring on long hauls, and very comfortable.

2. Quality feel and reliability.
3. Best fuel economy in class for the most part.

Where does one start.....

1) The Ride. Smooth, quiet and yet in control. Not a problem to drive on long trips across country or short trips.
2) The Quality. Fit, finish, materials all are First Class
3) The NAV System (other than the "I Agree"): Coupled with the rear camera this is such a big help to cover the normal blind spot in most SUV's.

2005 RX330 Thundercloud, Thundercloud Mist, Gray/Black Interior with Black Birdseye Maple Trim, NAV, MLS, HID with AFS, Rain Sensing Wipers, Headlight Washer, Tow Package with OEM Hitch, 18" Thundercloud rims with MXV4 Michelins.
