I have an 03 RX 300 and when my RX was recently serviced at Lexus, they loaned me a 2009 RX 350. Unfortunately, I found it very unpleasant to drive because the parking brake pedal is slow low that it prevented me from resting my left foot on the foot rest. I had to place it awkwardly to the left of the brake pedal. The RX 350 that I sat in in the showroom had the same problem. I am thinking about purchasing a new SUV in the near future, and I would like to consider the RX, but I'd have to scratch it off my list unless the parking brake pedal can be raised a considerable amount so that it allows me to rest my left foot on the footrest w/o the pedal pressing against my leg. Can the pedal be raised or do I have to find an SUV with a parking brake release on the center console (where it really belongs!)?
