| I had a 91 V8 limited with airbags for 12 yrs. Loved it, made many interstate trips. Due to mobility problems, both wife and myself, i updated to a Lexus RX350. Love it, they are well worth a look if you are after a great SUV |

| They're a nice machine. Lovely 2GR V6 pulls them along well. |

| As an old fart I moved to an Aurion Touring with the same motor, very impressive, I have already fitted 19" wheels and lowered springs, my wife reckons I'm hopeless |

| Parents have an IS350 since I told them to get one, 306hp version, really hauls nicely. A wee bit quicker than my 3UZ Soarer! |

| I quite like the IS350's Mike, you made a good recommendation there. If my parents sold both their cars (Corolla and the UZZ31) I think the IS350 would be a good compromise. |

| Sorry to see you had to trade the Soarer for an SUV; I understand needs come before a cool car. However, No way should anyone trade a Soarer for a 'Lexus'. May as well just get a Camry or something. Lexus vehicles ooze uncool vibes, have no persona, and are basically run of the mill average mums cars. Not being rude, but Lexus's are junk, as is the RX350. IS350's and IS200's are also junk. The only good Lexus is that LFA thing (which could also be seen as junk compared to rivals). Lexus is the new BMW - junk. The drivers are turkeys, the cars suck and look like dork mobils, and are crap in general. The only good Lexus is the Soarer, which is really a Toyota; All other Lexus vehicles are junk. Also, I hate SUV's and think they should be banned from the road just like scooters, so may be a little biased here about the RX350. I stand by my comments about all Lexus vehicles being Junk aside from the USA Lexus Soarer. With that being said, the USA Lexus SC400's are junk compared to their Toyota Soarer counterparts too. Therefore, in conclusion, All Lexus branded vehicles are junk. This is my opinion. No offense intended overly to any non Soarer Lexus owner.

| Nathan I strongly disagree with almost everything you said. 13 comments in and already running your mouth. This is probably just trolling but the Lexus Sc400 is the same as a Soarer. And the LS400 gets voted as one of the most reliable and best overall cars ever made. |

| have had the rx350 nearly 1yr now . I have made a couple of interstate trips and the car is fantastic. No problems anywhere, 9.2L/100km on a trip and 11L/100km around town. It has 150k kms on the clock. |

| Referring to a car as junk because you don't like the vibe it offers is just stupid. Nothing wrong with the Lexus range, I don't really want any of them other than an RC-F or IS-F but to hate on a RX350 is silly, quality practical crossover SUV that ended up being one of Lexus/Toyotas best sellers. |
