Welcome & congratulations on your new RX 450h! I'm also new here & I'm still learning a lot about this vehicle. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there is a voice command training procedure that may help your voice commands. I notice if there is a lot of road noise or the A/C fan is running full blast, the voice commands are hit or miss. As for the cooled seats; I have zero complaints. I have the dark mocha leather that tends to hold a little heat in the hot sun. I find that I have to cut my seats back to low or medium after about 30 minutes of use. What vehicle did you have previously? I noticed that Ford/Lincoln cooled seats get down right COLD. I don't like that, as my old bones begin to ache after about an hour of that on any setting. The Lexus coolers are way better that many other manufacturers that only cool the seat bottoms & not the seat backs. You should be able to hear the hum of the fan when its real quiet.

Hello everyone! I just brought home a 2017 RX350 F-Sport in Ultra White with Rioja Red leather. I was originally looking at the IS350 but this one caught my eye, and I'm so glad it did! It's joining my 2016 Ford Mustang GT in the garage.

Default 2017 RX350 F-Sport

Just picked up my 2017 RX F-Sport yesterday. Ultra white with black interior, triple beam LED headlights, pano roof. Absolutely loving it so far! Traded in my '15 GS350 F-Sport and having zero regrets!

Thanks! Those lights show that seat belts for front and rear passengers aren't in use.

Default Greetings from Montreal

Hello everyone,
Picked up my RX350 F Sport Series 3 last night.
Jumped out of a 2015 NX 200t F Sport Series 2 with 2 years left on a lease.
Loved the car but found the cabin a little too small for me...and the RX was too good of a deal to pass up
Unfortunately woke up to this .... Gotta love the white stuff though just in time for Christmas
And Nebula Grey looks fantastic to me

I guess that's another new feature they added for 2017, in addition to the automatic braking when in reverse and traffic is detected.

Well done. Definitely a much more interesting vehicle than the 09 model.
