I just bought my first Lexus yesterday after researching it since January, and I'm busy learning more about it. I didn't expect to get one yesterday, but the woman who had ordered it changed her mind last minute and the dealership called me at 9:30 am. It was the first time I had been able to drive a 500h F Sport model and I fell instantly in love and purchased it on the spot, of course. Meanwhile, another couple came rushing in when they'd heard it was available and wanted to buy it, but my husband and I were already in the process.
It's an RX 500h F Sport model with navigation. It's Iridium with a black interior. It has a 120V AC inverter, cold area package, digital key, digital rearview mirror, premium triple-beam LED headlamps, panorama glass moonroof, Lexus interface with 14-inch touchscreen display; drive connect with cloud navigation; intelligent assistant and destination assist, power rear door with kick sensor, advanced park, panoramic view monitor, traffic jam assist, paint protection film, side puddle lamps, cargo mat/cargo net/key glove.
I was previously driving a Volvo XC-90 T6 Momentum that seats 7, so I'm downsizing a little. Youngest child is about to start driving, so not as much need for a huge mom vehicle, sadly. Loving this new car. I was surprised when it told me that I wasn't paying attention while driving and to look forward. I'll have to research that feature. Not sure what it's called. Interesting and, well, a bit annoying if I must admit to it. I'll get used to it.
The other vehicles I was considering, before I narrowed it down, were the BMW X5 45e, which then became the 2024 50e when they changed the model, and even glanced at the Tesla Model Y for a minute when the prices dropped so drastically. (My husband drives a Tesla Model 3 Performance.) In the non-hybrid or EV category I looked at the Mercedes GLE 350 but ruled that out pretty fast. But I did really like the Genesis GV70 and hadn't made an official call on that before the Lexus 500h F Sport became available. The availability of the Lexus made my decision for me. I had been thinking about going to Porsche and looking at the Macan and Cayenne, so this saved me from that visit. I didn't really want to stay with Volvo. They're nice cars, but if I go with Volvo again I'll wait for the full EV in the size I want.

Here's the shiny new car:
Congratulations, Tazzy! You will love this car. And, don't worry about the nanny, she can be turned off in settings.
Proud owner of this RX350 FSport - Ultra White w/black interior. Picked up a few days ago, after salesman notified us of availability from another customer bowing out. Initially waiting for a RX350 FSport Ultra White w/Rioja Red inteiror - but that seems ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE in the Southeast US!!! But, we're not bitter. Nice package/options: Cold Area Package; Triple Beam Headlights; Digital Key(if we can ever get it configured); Digital RearView; Panoramic Roof and View Monitor; Traffic Jam Assist; Illumnated Door Sills; Rear Kick Sensor; 14-inch screen; and Advanced Park.
I am considering an 350 F sport - did you try out the front seats on the F sport vs the other trims of the RX 350? Any concerns about seats being too firm or the bolstering on the front seats being uncomfortable? We're average sized adults but we may have to decide without sitting in a F sport first.

I REALLY wanted red interior in my 2023 RX and an F Sport was the only way to accomplish that but I sat in the F Sport and the seats were honestly terrible. They were too firm and felt ”tight.” We are not large people either and it definitely was uncomfortable when compared to the seats in a Premium Plus. I ended up going with the Premium Plus solely because of the F Sport seats not being comfortable and lacking the luxury feel.

I think you have to sit in them to see how they feel. They’re definitely different. Personally I love them. The bolsters are nice and grippy and I like the comfort level of the seat cushion. But there are many seats I don’t like, such as in the Audi Q7. You just have to try it to see how it feels to your body shape.
Greetings all. I've been on this forum since 2018 when I purchased my new 2018 LC500 (infrared). I just picked up my new daily driver from Lexus of Albuquerque. Copper Quest RX500h F-Sport Performance.
These two vehicles make quite a pair!
Color is White. Completely Black interior as it is an F-Sport
Has almost every option (it was allocated to the dealer that way….Darn!) it didn’t come with the black wheels, but I’m ok with the dark gray wheels. I actually like the wheel design better on mine than the black wheeels.
I have 1775 miles on it with one road trip. Got almost 30 in eco mode during 250 mile one way drive.
That's beautiful, LexusSDR. I like those wheels too. I call them tuning fork wheels. I actually think I like them better than the black ones. Looks like the windshield has some pretty strong window tint. Did that come from the factory or port that way?
