Hi,
I'm new here and have been lurking and reading up on posts for a while as I'm thinking of getting a new RX. For all you guys that has own the new RX for a the past year or so and put a few miles on it, how's the long term rigidity of the car? Does the structure feel loose? Does the interior trim (headliners, seats and etc) start making noises and feel and sound lose? When you go over rough roads does the floorpan "wiggle?" Let's just say the ES350 I currently have isnt the most well built car ever. Thanks.

Have a "10 RX sport package. I like it so far but there is 2 thing annoying me is there is no cig lighter in front for my radar detector, and the A/C button is hidden in NAV manu.

However,when you need defrosting,you have to go to defrost and then back to 'auto'.
I've used that setting with many vehicles with climate control over the years.

I leave the A/C on 365 days a year. Keeps moisture out of the car at all times. It may suck more gas to do that, but it beats having to turn it on/off all the time. I don't think AUTO turns the A/C on or off automatically, which seems ruhtarded to me.
FYI, we have all four seasons where I live, so even in January, the A/C is on, just set to 73 or whatever.
****the above statements are related to my 2008 GS...which I assume also apply to the way the RX is set up.

yes
the more i drive my rx the more it brings out new rattles, very annoying
rattles arise from cargo area cover, interior trim on front windows, headliner just behind sunroof on driver's side, oh-$h1t grips (unsure of technical name, it's the handles over the doors), behind center dash, & my latest is from the passenger door @ the bottom of the glass
everyone said lexus was as quiet as a vault, wish it were true

That's when more creaks and rattles may appear.
My '09 was very solid.

That's why the AC on/off control is hidden because 99% of the time you don't need it. Just set it to auto and off you go.
Also our RX350 is an early build with 13K on it now and there is very little noises from the interior. The rear cargo cover squeaks a bit and I am considering spraying some silicone on the contact points to see if that helps. If not it will be sitting in the garage.
