I have a 2007 RX350 and just returned from a 2800 mile trip. I averaged 27 miles per gallon, it was a tireless ride and the Lexus performed flawlessly. It is a solid ride.

We just got back from a 350 mile ride round trip with the new Lexus. We averaged about 20 or so mpg. I am sure the mpg will get better as the car gets broken in.

There are two things I noticed which is probably known by owners already: (1) You can not change your destination on the nav if the car is moving. (2) The Contact list on the phone is not activated. Okay perhaps the human engineering people at Lexus wants us not to tinker with those when driving the car for our own safety. The vocal command works but it has a hard time understanding my voice commands when the car is in motion. Its really really irritating. Perhaps somebody has figured out how to defeat this?

There is also a rattle when the car hits a bump on the road. It sounds like its coming from the top of the car. I checked for anything loose but can not find any. Anybody has a similar problem? I removed the cargo cover but that did not help.

I was pleasantly surprise when the wiper turn on by itself (auto rain detection) and started changing the frequency of the wipe depending on the intensity of the drizzle.

Overall I am satisfied with the performance of the Lexus. Its smooth, quiet and confortable ride.
