By far the best car I’ve owned. I bought it second-hand with 140,000 km on the clock, and it hasn’t missed a beat since. The only maintenance I’ve… Read more
done is a transmission fluid change. It averages around 11L/100km on the highway. Being a front-wheel drive, it can surge a bit under acceleration, but other than that, I’ve had no issues at all. I’d highly recommend the Lexus RX350.

I love this car, but I've encountered numerous issues since getting it. First, I want to note that the luxury is not that luxurious; the car is quite… Read more
simple inside. However, for that price, it could be more elegant. Funny story, there is no place to put my phone. I even tried buying a sticky holder, but there's nowhere to stick it. Absolutely, zero! So my holder stayed unused. Second, my phone and other objects keep falling into the hole between the seats, which is too narrow for you to reach in and retrieve them. What a luxury! (Being sceptical now).
After three years, I started experiencing a dead battery, which seems to drain quickly in this car. My battery died too often in inconvenient places, like airport parking. For a luxury and expensive car, this feature is not particularly practical. I mean, really? If you have an insurance or annual check-up, it costs so much, and replacing a battery costs me $ 300.
The car is comfortable and smooth to drive, but its minor drawbacks make it impractical. I'm even considering selling it for a more conventional, non-hybrid vehicle that's more comfortable—a real disappointment.

Following my car and caravan accident in my LX 570, and having been towing with my LX 500d F Sport, I am answering some follow-up questions. The… Read more
below vehicle is my 5th Lexus and 4th LX. After 3 brilliant LX models, either 470 or 570, this twin turbo diesel is nothing short of motoring excellence. The running costs are far less than my previous petrol models, especially considering the super responsive motor with peerless F Sport specific performance enhancements. See Lexus.com.au for specifics. I was incredibly fortunate to be insured with RACQ at the time of my accident. RACQ has been my insurer for the last 40 years. Never having had an accident in this time, I was absolutely thrilled with RACQ and their staff who had my back in an incredibly challenging situation and I simply cannot be more grateful. This company went above and beyond for my little family and I received personal support, the benefit of a customer-based best practice policy and I will never be insured with anyone else. Accidents may be unavoidable but buying a Lexus and being insured with RACQ meant certain disaster was averted.

I am having the new car from Sutherland Lexus for two weeks now, its quite good to drive around, enough power, not noisy and comfortable. The… Read more
drawbacks are: as we know, the boot space is too tiny, it does not come with spare tyre, so if I want to buy a donet spare, the boot space even worse; I still don't like the Run Flat Tyre idea. Then, the 12v battery so small and hiding at the back. Other then that, all good.

Pretty fun to drive for a hybrid. Suspension is firm, steering is direct, motor has decent torque to make up for the smaller engine used. I also got… Read more
5.4L/100km fuel economy which is half the fuel used for similar size vehicle previous owned. I didn’t get fatigue from driving this for long trips which I usually get that from small cars. Overall pretty happy with this purchase.

purchased November 24 and now 6 months later still nothing, and what makes it more frustrating is having to constantly follow up for an update that never comes. Expected more from Lexus.
