2011 Lexus RX 350 Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...With or without the optional packages, road noise in the RX 350 is quite high. It was loud enough to hinder conversations my children tried to have with me and caused them to yell. Between the yelling toddlers and the road noise, it was never exactly a peaceful ride inside the cabin. The good news, in this case, is only two of my children fit in the RX 350 at a time, so I never had all three of them screaming at me at once. Additionally, should you ever decide to leave the kids at home and bring a few adults along for a ride, three can fit in that second row. The person on the middle "hump"... |

2012 Lexus RX 350 OverviewSource: CarGurus...Lexus has also added pull handles, which makes it easy to fold down the back seats from the back of the car. There is a navigation system available that's controlled by a console-mounted "Remote Touch" module, which is described as being intuitive and easy to use, much like a mouse. It also includes real-time traffic and weather alerts. An optional side-view monitor uses TV cameras to show a wide-angle passenger-side view of the vehicle on the navigation screen. Optional features include a dual-screen DVD entertainment system, hands-free parallel-parking system and adaptive cruise control... |

2004 Lexus RX 330Source: MSN Autos...Note the Mercedes-Benz ML350 with V6 puts out 232 horses and 254 lb-ft of torque at 3000 rpm, while the Acura MDX with V6 generates 265 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque as low as 3500 rpm. Sportier ride available Riders will quickly notice the RX 330 is very quiet. I didn't hear wind noise, even at highway speeds. I did hear some road noise on certain surfaces. The test vehicle had the optional, 18-inch tires. The tester had the optional air suspension system, too, and the ride had a sporty, yet luxury character. My body felt some vibrations over major road bumps. But the suspension managed... |

2011 Lexus RX 350 Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Those systems provide too much information to be useful at a glance. If there was one flaw that really stood out, it was the heated and cooled seat buttons. It's a roller switch, and it's too easy to switch from a heated seat to a cooled seat when you're just trying to turn it off. A minor issue, you say? Try sitting in a heated seat when it's 90 degrees out, and then we can talk. In any case, if a car model is to be the best, its manufacturer has to sweat all the details, and Lexus could've done better here. Mileage, Models, Reliability The RX is offered in both front- and all-wheel drive... |

2002 Lexus RX 300Source: MSN Autos...Adroit Handling The RX 300 handles adroitly during routine driving. And, if a driver is moving too fast for good control, the Vehicle Skid Control system helps keep it going on its intended course by detecting and controlling wheel slide. The brake pedal is too soft, but stopping distances are short and the Brake Assist feature is valuable during emergency stops. Handy Size The RX 300 is the right size for zipping around town, where the light steering is appreciated for quick moves and parking. Occupants sit high and it's fairly easy to get in and out, although narrow doorway bottoms impede... |

Why should I also consider these?
Among five-seat luxury crossovers, the Lexus RX has been a sales leader, and gets credit for coining the segment in the mid-1990s.
It has competition in the form of the Lincoln MKX, a five-seater with great interior room, a strong V-6 powertrain (though no hybrid option), and MyLincoln Touch, which uses voice and touch commands to run audio, phone and navigation.
The Cadillac SRX was reborn in 2010 on a crossover platform, and has lovely styling and this year, a new 3.6-liter V-6.
Volvo's XC60 wraps lots of room inside an elegant shape, and its typically Swedish interior is very handsome.
For something a little less expensive, the Nissan Murano has urbane good looks and strong V-6 performance, though it's small inside and has a continuously variable transmission, a type we don't typically enjoy.
