Default Happy with your RX350?

I am in the process of buying a 2013 RX350 and interested in your overall experience with the vehicale. Are you happy with it? Would you buy it again? I love the vehicle but I'm concerned about the hesitation issue discussed and it's potential as a problem for freeway driving.

Thanks for your comments!

Very happy with our '13. Our lease is coming to an end in a few months and I have no idea what to replace it with that we will like as much as our RX. I'm at 29k miles and have done nothing more than 2 oil changes. Not a single rattle, squeak, or issue otherwise.

I am happy with my RX350. Good gas mileage. Just regular maintenance required. But I'm hoping Lexus offers the F version... RX F. A little more power would be nice for the RX.

Very happy with our 2011. Would definitely purchase again! No major issues, just wear and tear items (new tires and brakes all around).

No idea what the hesitation issue is, I haven't noticed anything. I've been very happy with my 2015 after 18 months and 25,000 miles. No problems, rattles, etc. Everything is great about the car except the software. The navigation/infotainment system is adequate but no more than that and it has some annoying quirks. Overall I am happy we bought it and I don't think you can find a better SUV for the price.

I am happy with my 2011 RX350.

My RX350 is actually very responsive to throttle input, however me and my wife drive it with a lead foot so the adaptive transmission just learned to adapt to our driving style over time I guess.

It seems the many newer automatic transmissions with the adapt/learn feature get confused when the car is usually driven lightly and then someone tries to do a hard acceleration since it has to switch to a gear that it normally do not use.

Just my take on it.

Whenever I need power I just switch it to s. Try it with merging or passing.

I had a 2010, now on 2013 and had 2016 for about 2 weeks as a loaner while my 2013 was at the service( yes things are working very slow in NYC), love all of them, 2010-2015 body is much better than the brand new model and i would choose it any time over the 2016, its exterior is pretty lame imo but the interior is a bomb, all 3 cars feel very nice, 100% in next 2-4 years will move onto a newer RX

We have had the 15 RX F Sport for 21 months and 11,500 miles, overall we have been very happy. Just recently I have noticed a creaking noise from the rear going over bumps and especially going over speed bumps so I have to find the time to bring it in.

With that being said we would buy another one in a heartbeat. When our current lease is up I would say there is a 98% chance it will be another Lexus, either another RX F Sport or maybe a GX because my wife is still very undecided on the styling of the 4RX.

I may get this next time. The new Mazda CX-9 looks very nice and only about $45,000 fully loaded. Great interior. Heads up display. Zoom zoom.

I saw a new CX-9 the other day. Fantastic looking vehicle. I'm just not sure I want to step back to a 4 cylinder. I think we're going to go with a Highlander. A Highlander will offer us the 3rd row we'd like, but still have a lot in common with our RX that we love so much.
