Washington here. 100% of the 4RX 450h I looked at were built in Canada. 3RX 450h was built exclusively in Japan.

Its just loose and any bump or road issue makes it rattle. ITs bad. When I take my RX in for the oil change soon I will have them look at it.

Default Seat cushion extender was a waste.

Another feature not worth whatever I paid for it. Have you seen it? It's a joke. The front bottom seat cushion extender is nothing more than an inflatable cushion at the front of the bottom cushion. It barely moves and does nothing for comfort. Now I consider it an irritant just knowing I have it.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but I was looking for a place to store my pen. Guess what I found on the bottom side of the center compartment cover?! Yes, a pen holder! haha. Love finding new things.

Is the delayed wiper sweep no longer there when using the mist/washer fluid? If so, I'll miss that last sweep to clean up the missed fluid.

Anyone else find the carpet/fabric used in the hatch to be super low quality? Looks and feels like whats in our 3RX which Ive always found to be a short cut by toyota...look at BMW and Audi for impeccable high quality fabrics in the trunks too.

This is a good tradeoff by Lexus. I would rather have cheap carpet knowing that it will be covered by all-weather floor and trunk liners. Why spend money on something I won't use?

All Canadian models come with trunk mat which covers the fabric that is fused to the floor trays.

The sides do feel a bit cheap, but that's not an area that the customer interacts with regularly.

RX2 had really high quality trunk carpets and storage departments.

Should have been more specific, im only referring to the carpet thats used on the inside of the liftgate itself....where the close button is. I know, small area thats rarely touched, but it looks like cheap furry carpet.

Actually the nicest carpeted mats were on the original RX. My third generation ones had to be replaced a couple of times! I think all that commotion about the mats jamming into the brakes and accelerator were the reason for the thinner carpets.

Number of blinks can be 3 (default) 5 or 7. But I think it has to be set by. PC. Your dealer should be able to set it in no time.
And if they try to charge this to me I will change dealer. Having fleet of Toyota cars, I think they will not lijevthat ;-)

The first cup holder can be pushed down for taller jars. Button will brng it back up.
By the way in arm wrest there is place for manuals below the insert. Just do not forget to take out USB's before you take insert out.
