Great crossover

...Pros: Very comfortable ride. Great fuel economy relative to competitors.
Interior design is very well laid out and seems to be quite durable. Cons: Acceleration. Lack of ipod connection and other technology features. Overall: Great crossover...

Posh is the Word

...We are on our third one and, after shopping BMW, Infinity, and Acura for a luxury SUV, we keep coming back to the Lexus for the smoothness of ride and the feel of luxury you get in it's interior. It doesn't handle quite as well as the BMW but the ride is a bit softer, which we like. 0-60 acceleration for the 2009 model is listed at 7.3 seconds which I think is pretty good for this type of vehicle. The Porsche is faster and the infinity may be a bit faster too but, the Porsche is much more expensive and the infinity FX35 has a harsher ride. The interior, although well done, is not up to Lexus...

Looks Good - Rides Bad

...Pros: Great looking interior. Cons: Uncomfortable seats and ride. Overall: After a 250 trip I took my loss and traded. This may be a good auto for "around town" but too uncomfortable for the road...

#5
So Smooth
Source: Cars.com

...I can control everything with little effort and don't feel overwhelmed. The interior is luxurious but not so over the top where I don't feel like I can grab a burger while on the road. It is also the only car in my entire apprx 30 yr driving history that I have not had to sit on a pillow to see over the dash-sounds minor but it makes a difference. My only beef would be the the placement of the items in center dash 'gadgets'. Everything seems a little jumbled but I'm sure I'll grow more accustomed to it. The split back seats are a dream! I travel daily with my 3 dogs and it makes it super easy...

#7
Overall A Great Car With Good Performance.

...The only thing I dislike about the car is the ride. Unless you're on a super smooth pavement, you have a "hard" ride; you feel every bump in the road...

#8
Enjoyable to drive

..."Luxury at its best. Easy to drive. Eye catching. A feeling of safety. Great performance. Would highly recommend."...

#9
My dream car
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: I especially like the service I get from my local Lexus dealership--courteous, efficient and they often repair things not covered by warranty as a courtesy.
Cons: nothing Overall: I will own Lexus products from now on...

#10

1st time I used it i was late for a wedding by 1hr. missed the show and I was in it. Overall: got hosed by saleman...

Why should I also consider these?

While the Lexus RX 350 reigns supreme in delivering on luxury, it's more of a Costco-style everyman's luxury; it just doesn’t stand out the way some other vehicles in this class do.

Dynamically, the Acura MDX is a better-handling vehicle, and all of the other competitors listed offer available V-8 engine options that transmit much more power.

And the Audi Q7 and BMW X5 now have available turbodiesel engines, bringing better fuel economy with near-V-8 power.

If you need additional room for kids, the Cadillac, BMW, and Audi all come with small third-row seats.

 
2009 Cadillac SRX
The 2009 Cadillac SRX enters its last year as a good-looking and functional crossover, but tight third-row seating and poor fuel efficiency remain as blemishes on an otherwise solid package.
 
2009 Infiniti FX
The 2009 Infiniti FX offers a truly distinctive shape and sportscarlike acceleration. If you need to haul plywood or lots of kids, though, look elsewhere.
 
2008 Acura MDX
The 2008 Acura MDX has a little more passion than most larger SUVs, with no less practicality.
 
2008 Audi Q7
The 2008 Audi Q7 puts a sport-ute premium on its beautifully made interior, seven-passenger seating, and sedanlike acceleration.
