My 08 RX has has no serious problems, only a rattle from the rear hatch which was fixed. The wind noise is normal, as with any other vehicle. I am looking to purchase an 09 with Nav and AWD before the hideous 2010 RX arrives (looks like a Venza). Friends and family compliment the RX in everything it does. Hawaii purposely did not get any Canadian built RX's including the Pebble Beach edition.
