I brought my 2007 RX350 home in April of last year and after owning and driving this car for 1 year these are my 3 main complaints about it. 1)The finish is very fragile. It scratches easily and, I would say, the body dings easily. Of course, the latter is mostly true of any car these days when compared to the old, heavy steel of yesteryear, but the paint on this Lexus is more susceptible to scratches than most of the finishes coming out of Detroit. 2)The windshield glass does not seem to be of high quality. There are many small air bubbles in it which are readily apparent when looking through it into the bright sun. 3)The interior controls, particularly on the center console, aren't legible in the dark. They should have been backlit. The small LED's located near the overhead dome light that are supposed to light them up are too dim to do the job. I have to turn on the dome light to change anything on the center console at night.
These three items are cosmetic and are something I can live with but I would like to see improved on subsequent models if they haven't been already on the '08's and '09's. They were only detectable after actual experience with the car and driving it. My other complaints I knew going in and accepted them as merely shortcomings, i.e. poor turning radius, lack of XM radio or mp3 player input and the stock Goodyears which are a little noisier than I would like. Of course, the last two are remediable.
In conclusion, these are actually rather mild complaints and overall I am very happy with the car. Performance is great, it handles really well and I and many others love the looks of it both inside and out, so I am by no means disappointed and would buy it again despite these small flaws.
