RX 330 Pet Peeves?
OK - Besides the Nav - and not being able to get a certain Package - what's your one biggest pet peeve about your RX 330?
mine is.......
wind noise / vibration from rear passenger side roof area (roof rail/antenna) at 60mph or above - and I can't get rid of it I have to crank up the stereo and voila' - problem solved... well not really

Well I don't have a 330, but my pet peeve is the rear tail lights. I still don't like the higher placement of the lights.
As for the RX300, my pet peeve is its poor turning radius.

So far my pet peeves are that you can't view the clock without the key on, and my rear hatch spoiler makes contact with the body when the temp is hot as the plastic spoiler expands. I do have a fix for this though and I'm just waiting to see of Lexus will offer an official fix before I fix it myself. Other than that, I have no odd viabration or noise problems thus far. I have about 2300 miles so far. Oh, one more thing, I hate the tires. All my other cars before had high performance summer tires and these all season truck tires have no grip. When it is wet I can barely keep from spinning and squeeling the tires going up the parking ramp at my work.

I really enjoy my 330, however I do have one minor pet peeve. What really bothers me is having to always have to press the "I agree" button on the navigation everytime I turn the car. I used to have an Acura with a navigation system and I never had to do that. All the great things though outweigh this small peeve.

CK6Speed: Did you have trouble opening the rear door when the spoiler expands? I hope not, cause I ordered my MSM/black 330 Prem. Plus 2 weeks ago!
I just got back from LA yesterday. Went to the Westminster dealership, saw the beautiful 18's in alloy & graphite polished. Oh well, I guess I'll just order aftermarket 18's and look different from everyone else!?!

I have only driven my new RX twice so I have not really detected any flaws yet but I wished the backup camera was mounted in the center of the car instead of off to the driver's side. I test drove a FX35 before buying the RX and really liked the FX's centered camera and the colored lines which helped aligned the car with the parking lot lines.

agree completely on the camera - Infiniti's Nav and Rearview Cam are the only thing the FX35/45 does better than the RX330
and in reference to my "mystery rattle" I too thought it was the tonneau - mine vibrates a bit too

My peeve...
The A/C / heating vents in the center of the dash can't be closed or turned down like the ones near the doors. The most you can do is move the louvers of the vents to a position that points away from you. Since even the minimum fan speed seems very strong, it would be great if you could adjust the strength of the air coming out of the vents, like you can on the far ones.
