Hello All,   I know a lot of people have already bought the new 2010 RX350 and wanted to start a new place to start discusing your driving experiences, new features and any issues that you might have. Replies to this message: tidester (Jun 10, 2009 10:45 am) joxa (Jun 17, 2009 6:52 am)

Replying to: bond8 (Jun 10, 2009 10:33 am) I bought 2010 rx350 at the end of march and I have been happy with it. However, I have noticed engine/exhaust noise during acceleration around 2100-2300 rpm. Maybe like something is vibrating somewhere in the exhaust system? It bothered me enough to bring it in to the service department. They checked it out and responded by saying that it was normal and the noise is just b/c the engine is "under load". Has anyone else noticed this?
#4 of 154 FWD vs. AWD by robalao Jun 18, 2009 (1:53 pm)
I am going to purchase a 2010 RX 350 Lexus and in Maryland they only get AWD. Since I have been driving FWD for over 10 years, (9 of which in a 2001 RX 300) and am very happy with FWD, I do not want to pay more to get AWD and in addition lose gas mileage. Has anyone had any experience that would tell me that I am incorrect due to safety or otherwise? Please advise.   Robalao Replies to this message: rparis (Jun 18, 2009 2:01 pm) wwest (Jun 18, 2009 9:14 pm) steve_ (Jun 19, 2009 7:43 am)

Replying to: robalao (Jun 18, 2009 1:53 pm) Unrelated to your question, but how many miles does your 2001RX have and, if you trade, please let us know what the value of the trade is worth. I own a 2001 and want to trade for a 2010, so I am wondering. Thanks

Replying to: robalao (Jun 18, 2009 1:53 pm) Since FWD vehicles are so patently UNSAFE in wintertime adverse roadbed conditions even any small thing, such as F/awd, to "mediate" that problem is worthwhile. Replies to this message: steve_ (Jun 19, 2009 7:43 am)

Replying to: wwest (Jun 18, 2009 9:14 pm) There you go again. Patently silly hyperbole. Let's not rehash my experience driving FWD for 20 winters in Alaska versus your forays over the Cascades heading to Montana.   It's the tires. And the loose nut behind the wheel.

To rparis:   I have 168,000 miles on the 2001 RX 300. I went to CarMax and was offered $7500 so I think that is the value. I may give it to our daughter in law.   Hope that answers your question.   Robalao Replies to this message: rparis (Jun 19, 2009 12:21 pm)

Replying to: robalao (Jun 19, 2009 11:14 am) Based on the number of miles $7500 seems quite good in comparison to what dealers are offering for a trade. Thank you.
#10 of 154 Driver seat bottom ventilation design by evinrude Jun 21, 2009 (11:11 am)
I test drove an RX350 2010 with ventilated/heated seats. While driving with the ventilation control set to maximum cooling on driver's side, I raised myself from the seat and put my hand on the seat feeling for air circulation. Only the front part of the seat bottom had air coming through the perforations. I couldn't feel any air coming out of the rear portion of the seat bottom. Anyone else checked this on theirs yet? My thighs were being cooled but my "booty" was not.
