After owning a Nissan Maxima for over 20 years (I owned four of them, consecutively), I recently purchased a 2014 RX350. It is a base model (no navigation), with leather and power everything. The color, Silver Lining with a black interior, is perfect. This vehicle is my "silver lining" to the cloud that has been hanging over me since my beloved Maxima was totaled a few weeks ago. I do love it.
I do not love the lack of heated seats and steering wheel, but my budget did not allow for more amenities, even purchasing a previously leased vehicle. I hope to add heated seats . . . we'll have to see about the steering wheel.
I hope to learn lots about my vehicle here - and there is lots for me to learn after driving my "four door sports car" (Maxima) for so long!

Son purchased new RX350 from Lexus London, in ON. Canada, a few weeks ago / we had a great buying experience, dealing with Rick Watson in sales.
- this 2015 model was perfect & purchased the same week the redesigned 2016 RX350 models, were hitting dealership floors, in Nov. / we didn't care for Gen4 front end design

2013 RX 350 Got it used last week with 11.8k miles for a great price. Love it! Stain Cashmere Metalic Ext. Parchment Interior. 12 speaker. 19" wheels w/ 7 spoke grey anodized. Comfort package. Parking assist. Navigation. Premium Package. Tow Prep Package.
I was debating between purchasing this used car at the Mercedes dealership, or lease a 2015 base model at the Lexus dealership. I went with the more bang for the buck used car with low mileage.

I'm driving my second RX 450h. Love the RX. Perfect combination of utility, luxury, size and style. Except I don't like the 2016 style, that's why I bought a 2015.

Bought 2015 RX 450h
This past weekend I purchase a new 2015 RX 450h and I got it for a good price. My wife hated the grill on the 2016, so the 2015 was the right vehicle for us. It is black, with the bamboo wood on the inside, it came with Navigation and blind spot sensor.

First Time Lexus Owner
Hi, Just wanted to introduce myself as a first time Lexus owner. Purchased a 2010 RX 350/ Blk on Blk, no nav, 18 " wheels. I previously drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee and really liked it. Had been looking for a replacement vehicle for about six months and, after doing a massive amount of research as well as test driving a number of different vehicles, I settled on the Lexus. And, I have to say, for the first time ever I have not experienced immediate buyers remorse. It's a beautiful vehicle and really a pleasure to drive. So, I have joined this club in hopes of connecting with people who also enjoy their Rx's and, as I am a new Lexus owner, maybe to learn a few things along the way. Thanks.

No, I don't play soccer!
lansel, congrats and welcome. I'm glad you're enjoying your 350. We have plenty of great info here in case you have questions. Also register on the Lexus owner's website to pull up service history. It's also where you can order new manuals just in case you didn't get them. They're good for insomnia BTW 
Oh and pics are mandatory around here so post them up
