Default Attention 2023 RX 350 F Sport Owners

I'm new to the Club Lexus forum, so hopefully there has not been a recent thread on this. I have a deposit on a 2023 NX 350 F Sport but it's not able to come with all the options I want. I know the RX F sport costs quite a bit more but there's one in transit with all of the options I want. I'm curious if you F Sport owners are loving it. Do you think it's too big for an F sport, is it easy to park, do you like the way it handles? Your comments are appreciated!

Hello and welcome to Club Lexus forum! Im a RX 500H F Sport Performance owner (same size dimensionally throughout the RX lineup) Hell yeah we love our RX always gets smiles when we take it for a drive! We sat in the NX and it was crapped for our Asian bodies. The RX is almost perfect for us inters of size dimensionally, a bit too tall for the wife but perfect for me at 5'-6". With the 500H equipped with Direct4 (rear wheel steering and other features only 500H comes with Direct4) its super easy to get around tight parking lot and parking spaces and handles great (planted to the ground) when taking a turn at heavy acceleration. You wont be disappointed with the 500H! Good luck with your decision!

And doesn't it come with advanced parking? Park itself.

My cousin has the 2022 NX and I have a 2017 RX.. I would prefer my RX 10000% more as it’s more roomier!

Can’t speak for the 2023, but I heard it’s a few inches longer and wider!

The ($800) panoramic view monitor makes parking easy and I would recommend that. Also, the 500H has a tighter turning circle because of this model's 4 wheel steering, if you're concerned about maneuvering ease.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I've decided to go with the RX 350 F sport and it should arrive at the dealer within 2 weeks, yay! The 500h would have been optimal but it''s even more pricey. I don't drive as much now that I'm retired, so the 350 should be fine. Beautiful car for sure!
