Dun, I wouldn't really call it a "problem" for either car. They are simply different and I noticed it because as I was closing my friend's RX rear hatch I was being more careful than I needed to be and realized that his responds differently compared to mine. They both work, but that's just the difference I noticed.

I thought it needed to break in first but looks as if your getting great city mileage with your new rx.
Maybe I should give lexus a call

It warmed up here to 10-15C last few weeks so I was interested what milage I would get in the city only. I am averaging 7.4 liters/ 100 Km or 31.7 mpg US. I have to get my first oil change as I have about 8000Km on it. I did bump up the tire pressure to 35 cold from 32 and that did help. Using 87 octane gas here.
One thing I have noticed is that I can now drive long stretches without the engine kicking on that I could not when it is cold out. We dont really have freeways here so the red lights kill you when you have to restart.
