#113 of 156 Re: Front Seats [solstice4] by billdav Oct 29, 2009 (4:24 am)
Replying to: solstice4 (Oct 29, 2009 1:46 am) I put 16,000 km (10,000 miles) on mine between April & Oct - extended driving vacation and found the seats very comfortable, in most circumstances. I had just moved from GS300 so the seat cooling on the GS actually blew cool air. On the RX it is only circulating air so that took getting used to. Also, I am short legged so did not use the front seat extender, a taller person should enjoy that feature. The thing that did take a while was how close the headrest came to the back of my head - very little space, the angle of the seat back would affect this. If you sat upright it would be close and having it tilted back could give you more room. The hair on the back of your head (if you still have some) would brush the headrest (static electricity) and I would end up reaching behind my head to separate the hair from the headrest. The other difference from the GS is the placement of the armrest on the door - my arm no longer slides off as it did in the GS - much more comfortable.

#116 of 156 Quality Problems 2010 RX350 by meditch Oct 31, 2009 (9:21 am)
Hello All - I did a lot of internet research before purchasing my 2010 Lexus RX350 ln late June, 2009. Only real mileage of 3700 miles wa primarily annual trip to Florida for the winter. Early research indicated quality problems particularly with front bumper assembly and XM Radio. Sure enough, front bumper assembly appears to be slightly separating at junction of bumper and headlight complex. XM Radio has a mind of its own - completely off for a period, then resumes service. XM people shrug it off and say, "see your dealer." Any thoughts on these issues from anyone?

Replying to: rparis (Oct 13, 2009 1:54 pm) My Lexus salesman said that I could use 87 octane in my new 2010 RX350 on a regular basis, and just give it a tank of premium if it every pings. I may just use 89...

Replying to: mikku (Oct 04, 2009 11:13 pm) I have the RX350 and have the same problem. I reset it and then it give me the correct MPG, but the minute I stop the car, it goes back the 35MPG. It's a problem.
#119 of 156 wind noise in 2010 RX by notlikingmycar Nov 01, 2009 (11:24 am)
Is anyone experiencing wind noise in the 2010 RX? I took mine in to have it checked and was told that the seals met all specifications. They didn't even drive the car. I was also told that unless other owners complained of the noise, Lexus would not do anything about it and I would have to live with it. Not the great customer experience I've heard about.

Replying to: notlikingmycar (Nov 01, 2009 11:24 am) Roof racks can be a big source of wind noise, mind have been stored in the garage from the beginning, '01 F/awd Rx300. Soaking the door and window seals twice a year with silicon spray can also be a big help. Evenly discharging a full can of rubberized undercoating onto each fender liner also helps to quiet road noise.   Also, my '01 F/awd RX300 runs on nice and quiet, comfortably riding summer use only Bridgestone Turanzas all year around. Tire chains on board in times of need.
#121 of 156 12V Outlets by jtla Nov 02, 2009 (4:54 pm)
I just bought the 2010 RX350. One thing I am troubled by was the fact that Lexus put the 12V outlet, as well as the iPod/USB connector in the very deep end of the center console. You have to remove two trays in order to access them. In fact, you wouldn't know they were there unless you read the owner's manual. To make matter worse, the armrest cover does not open wide, only to about 60 degree. You cannot even see the outlets (I think there are two). I have to use my hand to "feel" them. What were Lexus designers thinking?   My RX350 does not equip with the in-dash navigation. So, the biggest problem, for me at least, is to use a portable GPS on a long trip where connection to a 12V outlet is necessary. When placing the GPS on top of the dash board, the power cord is not long enough to reach the 12V outlet deep down in the center console. Another problem would be for kids in the rear seats to connect their portable DVD players to the power outlets.   I guess this is how Lexus punishes those who cannot, or not willing to, afford the on-board Navigation and/or Entertainment systems. Anyone has a suggestion to this problem? Replies to this message: pec1970 (Nov 16, 2009 5:28 pm) maximafan (Nov 18, 2009 1:35 pm) pec1970 (Nov 18, 2009 6:05 pm) and 6 more...

Replying to: solstice4 (Oct 29, 2009 11:24 am) Very happy with the car. My wife liked the idea of sitting higher up compared to the GS. Yes, I would get another.
