Default From 2010 to 2013

Today I just finished up with everything on our 2013 that I had done to the 2010 RX. The dealer added body side mouldings and tinted the front windows. A few days ago I put the gutter guard on the lower grill to protect the radiator from road debris and added a bug screen in front of the condenser and radiator. Today I installed a Curt hitch and did the stealth wire from my mirror to the radar detector. My wife cleaned the carpets and removed them and put the WeatherTech all weather mats in so I hope I'm through. If anyone needs a set of weathertech black mats for a 2010-2012 RX, I have a set that is almost as good as new. PM me. The 2013 has a different retaining system so we had to buy a new set. Others have said it also, but the 2013 rides a lot better and I think drives better than the 2010.

The ride is not as stiff and it steers easier to me. The salesman said that the grip on the steering wheel is larger. I drove it out of Dallas in a driving rainstorm to south of Memphis the day we bought it and it handled like a dream. We are very well pleased.

The steering wheel looks like it came out of a LFA, so awesome. I think it might be the tires difference.

Nope. It has the same tires as my 2010. The ride is just smoother and it doesn't have that truck feel as did the 2010. I think it was softened some, but still handles great.
