Purchased a new RX 350 a few weeks ago. My first Lexus. And I absolutely love this car. Great power, terrific handling, and a very smooth ride.
There are two things that I wish were different. For those of us that are a bit on the stocky side and have our seats all the way back, the driver's right arm rest doesn't come out far enough. With my right hand on the wheel, my right elbow hits the end of the arm rest and it's not very comfortable. If I'm not using my right hand to steer, I have to bring it close to my chest to have it supported by the arm rest. I decided to not even use the right armrest. I mentioned this to the dealer and he acknowledged that others have commented on this. I'd love it if Lexus could come out with an aftermarket modification or if there was a third party add on or modification that could correct this.
The other item is the inability to use the presets for seat position, etc while driving. I understand that this is probably a safety related issue in that Lexus doesn't want the driver to have his position radically change while driving. But for those of us who have fine tuned our seating positions and want to responsibly switch between the two presets, or even memorize a new position that is created while driving, this is a bit of an annoyance. Is there any way to override this and allow the use of the presets while driving?
These two items are really minor issues that don't significantly impact my love for this car. But why not strive for perfection? :-)
BTW, I was reading the other posts that indicate that most RX drivers are female. Very interesting. I wonder why that is. I'm definitely a male and still love this car.
