- thecarconnection—STYLING:The styling of the 2010 Lexus RX 350 doesn’t stand out, but that might be a positive to those looking for practical luxury;PERFORMANCE:The 2010 Lexus RX 350 achieves, for most, a happy compromise between ride comfort and handling, combined with peppy straight-line acceleration;QUALITY:The 2010 Lexus RX 350 does almost everything right inside, except for an unexpected dose of road noise;SAFETY:The 2010 Lexus RX 350 surrounds its occupants in an electronic security blanket to supplement traditional safety;FEATURES:The 2010 Lexus RX 350 offers a lot of sophistication inside, and it doesn’t require a training course to use some of the advanced features.
- newcartestdrive—This third-generation Lexus RX has been updated in dozens of ways to make it more efficient, more comfortable, and broadly more advanced than the previous generation. It’s quieter, safer, and more driver-friendly. And in our opinion, better looking as well. If you like the current RX 330, you’ll love the Lexus RX 350. It’s a good choice for people who don’t tow much or need to move more than five at time. The RX 450h offers a clear step forward in hybrid technology.
Buying Tips:
Even Lexus isn’t immune to the latest nosedive in SUV sales. You may strike a rare bargain on the new RX 350 on timing alone—though you’ll still pay thousands more for the less luxurious Nissan Murano.

I use the Sportster 5 and boombox at home (which I love), but I also wanted to have a device ...

Just got this car 350 AWD yesterday and not happy with it. Got it without GPS, and found out later on there’s no Xenon high intensity headlights. Now that’s a bummer. The car is boxy, bigger, 400lb heavier, engine noisier when step on for gas, no sunglasses holder, bigger wheels to 18’s, no valet key, and less wood trims. In my opinion this new 2010 RX is slimmed down, and is not as smooth as the older models. I can’t believe this car has more engine noise than my old RX350. Isn’t it supposed to be quieter? Nope! I regretted giving up my old 2007 RX350. It’s a bad move on my part. I don’t think I can go back to the RX350 after this lease is over in another 3 years. One more thing, the back of the car looks ugly and wide.
After this honest review from a real Lexus driver here I think Lexus people will remove this post real soon. So please take a test drive on a highway, not some streets, before you buy this big car here with no Xenon Headlights.

This is my 5th RX since the first generation in ‘99. Have had 2001, 2004, 2007 and now 2010. The new model is by far the BEST yet. Just when you thought Lexus could not improve on a great thing..they out did themselves. I have never had any issues with any of my Lexus vehicles. Was considering the MDX just to have something different, but was not impressed. I am getting excellent fuel economy averaging 23mpg and have only owned for 3 months. Fun to drive with the new manual mode shifter. I love my Lexus!!!

I liked my 2004 RX 330 so much that I decided to purchase a new 2010 RX 350. For the most part the car is excellant. I was told the demand for the RX350 has been so good that I had to wait a few days before I could pick it up at the dealer. There are many options on the vehicle which makes driving it a pleasure. The only complaint I have is the ride seems to be a little rougher than my old RX330 but the vehicle is still very comfortable. As usual the people at Lexus are great to work with and they treat their customers very well.
