One thing that people have had to adjust to is the speed-sensitive brake assist system.
The car does a calculation based on the speed of the car and how hard you hit the brake pedal. If you hit the brake hard at high speed, it applies more pressure than usual to help you stop the car faster.
I'm not sure if it was not available on the RX300, or if it's just a lot more sensitive than it used to be. Either way, it takes some getting used to. You'll think there's something wrong and that the car has a tendency to nose-dive, especially at higher speeds. In reality, that's not true - it's the car applying more braking power than you'd naturally expect based on how hard you hit the brake pedal.
When you really do need it, it's a wonderful thing!
