lenore Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 OK, before people start blasting, let me start by saying that this is my first RX, I'm a straight male and have no insecurities about my gender! I love the RX, and think it looks great. I've had a couple of guys respond when I tell them I bought an RX with " you bought a lady's vehicle"? Anybody else get this? Is the RX considered a ladies car? I think it's one of the better looking SUV's out there. Any comments or feedback? I think its the compartment for a purse below the shifter. Oh man I thought that was where the bowling ball belonged..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 What do you guys put in that compartment below the shifter? Its pretty useless for use, we put a box of tissue down there and thats it. It certianly will not fit my wife's pause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrc59 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I don't think a bowling ball will fit. Maybe a pistol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 It's for mounting a low-mounted handgun rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrc59 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Do low mounted handgun racks really exist and if so where can I get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj8708 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hi Folks, I'd would like to ask all of you what, if any, your experience has been with your RX's both light and deep snow. Here in the Midwest, we get a good share of snow, and we also have under layers of ice as well. With the light back end of the RX, without AWD, is it easy to spin-out or get stuck. Just looking for your general opinion/experience, nothing scientific....lol Thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last winter here in the New England area, we recorded the 3rd snowest winter on record I believe. The RXh on Michelin latitute all season tires perform like a champ. It actually drove better in the snow than my wife's old Audi Q5 with full time quattro dive. The extra weight with the batteries in the back helped and the snow mode in the RXh really keeps things in check before things get out of control.

jaswood Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Me and my wife are both so excited about this new car. It is just awesome. And as a bonus it's 350 engine is tuned for regular gaz, imagine! No, your RX is factory tuned for premium fuel use. But it will automatically "detune"(***) if you use regular. *** Detune: In this case uising EFI PWM increased duty cycle voltage to enrich the mixture for heavy engine loads/loading, mostly for acceleration.

Janny Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 That's funny re ladies car. I just picked up my first Lexus RX350 yesterday. I am a tomboy and have always driven sporty cars that guys have drooled over until my previous and 1st SUV (not a Lexus), as I moved up north of the city 7 years ago. I never heard about these being ladies cars until I just read this. I've never looked at whose driving, as I was staring at the gorgeous car, each time one passed by. I've always loved these SUVS as they have smooth, sleek, sporty lines and have turned my head for the past 10 years. Nicest looking SUV out there if you ask me. It goes like smoke (one of my priorities) - a great passing car. Not a whimps vehicle - lady or man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheels20000 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Guess I'm guilty as charged. How old do you have to be? LOL From here on out only the RX 350 for me. My kids love my RX 350 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
