You may unluckily find rattling sound on the sun roof (can be fixed under warranty), louder gear shift than you may expect for such a high profile SUV. Try to bring a mechanic to test drive and try the one made in Japan with a VIN sarting with J. Good luck. Replies to this message: maximafan (Oct 17, 2009 4:12 am) ndeborahk (Oct 17, 2009 4:40 am)

Replying to: fry2 (Oct 16, 2009 2:35 pm) I've had my 2007 RX350 for over three years now, and it's a very nice car. I've had no problems, except for a few interior rattle issues. That being said, I've had an opportunity to drive the 2009 RX350, not the 2010, as a loaner vehicle when I take my RX in for the oil change, tire rotation(this last service trip also involved putting new front brake pads) This may be a subtle difference, but I like the way the 2009 RX's drive! They seem to drive or handle a little tighter and the steering seems a little less boosted than on my 2007. Also, the suspension when going over bumps and imperfections on the road seems to soak those up a little better, but that could be just that my car is more than three years old now and the suspension feel would end up being a little different from a car that just came out last year.   My lease is up next year, and I kind of wish I could find a used 2009 RX. But it's got to be in Matador Red! Love, love that color! I've seen a couple of them in the service area of my Lexus dealer, and, gosh, are they beautiful!! Lexus didn't offer this color on my model year RX. I understand a 2009 would be higher in price right now, but if you could try test driving one, hopefully you'll notice what I experienced. Good Luck! Replies to this message: ndeborahk (Oct 17, 2009 4:40 am)

Replying to: ndeborahk (Oct 16, 2009 7:24 am) If you have experienced the 1-2 second "re-acceleration" delay/hesitation the RX will have the same "feature".
