Hi gang,

Noku here, proud owner of a new '13 RX 450. There were no '14 RX's available as yet. This will be my wife's daily drive although hopefully I'll get to use it on occasion. My ride is a '10 HS 250 so pretty much up to speed on the Toyota/Lexus hybrid system. We also had a '02 RX 300 in the past as well as a '00 ES 300 too .

I believe the color of the 450 is silver lining with black interior with ebony woodgrain accents. Options are as follows:
1. Premium Pkg
2. Comfort Pkg
3. Nav
4. 19" Wheels
5. ML Stereo
6. Intuitive Park Assist
7. HID
8. Wood Steering Wheel
9. Cargo Mat (added accessory)
Options may be slightly different from what you may find from Lexus USA because in Hawaii we fall under Servco Pacific who deals directly with Japan.

I'll be having the driver and front passenger windows tinted today (still yesterday in Hawaii, LOL) and hope to find the charger for my camera to take pics later.

First impressions for me are good. Technology has come a long way since buying my ES. I need to accustom myself to the IPA (intuitive park assist) as it seems odd having warning beeps from the front/rear side areas of the car. Blind spot mirrors that fold in automatically was a pleasant surprise. And that cool blue light that come on in the instrument cluster is a winner in my book.

The ride for such a heavy car is so so considering its a Lexus, maybe the Dunlop tires and large rims has something to do with this, although it is far superior to my HS. Still need to see how it handles taking sharper turns at higher speeds.

Appearance? From the front it looks awesome. Those led's under the headlamps looks cool as well as the grille. From the side, it also looks pretty good, liking the looks of the rims the most. The rear was just a little disappointing, too plain looking for my taste, but the hidden wiper and led 3rd brake light is a good touch. The car didn't come with roof rails and I don't know whether I appreciate that or not (should make it easier to wash/polish though).

The car seems pretty peppy, for me anyway, now that I qualify for McDonald's senior coffee .

Enjoyed reading your posts and found some excellent info here, hope I won't be needing much help in the future. So happy we dumped her '06 MB ML 350.

ALOHA!!!!

Hello all. Newb here. Just joined the forum, but lurked around for about a week before I bought my new ride. What can I say, I'm a big fan of research before I buy.
Traded in my 4runner that I had for 10 years, and this is my 1st Lexus

Welcome to Club Lexus, sbriscoe. As this is your first Lexus, I know you will find the answers to many questions in this forum. I am confident you will love your RX350.

Picked up on Monday. Love this claret mica/parchment combo. Difference between cloudy and sunny day is amazing. This is one smooth riding vehicle. My 2nd Lexus. Wife drives ES. Not for long though. She's gonna want the RX. I'll probably get a 2015 IS. The RX is the most comfortable & quiet vehicle I have ever driven. Very happy with it.

Congrats Lexipro and welcome to CL. Haven't seen too many claret micas on the road yet. The color definitely pops in the sunshine. Enjoy your RX.

Newbie checking in. Ive invested so much time with all of you before I purchased my 3RX350, I feel like I know many of you. Your breadth and depth of knowledge Plus considerable research brought me to my first Lex. Glad to be part of this group. Purchased my Starfire Pearl with It Grey beauty a month ago. Bought from an totally AR surgeon who put just 12k miles on it in two years. All and I mean ALL packages and options included except for radar cruise and rear seat DVD. Loving it! Thank you to all of you. I have already posted a few questions in other threads b4 I found The Rollcall.

And?

What things do you like about the new RX over your 2009?

Browninggo

Everything it was easier for me to get in and out I noticed right away. I'm 6'3" 235 and the salesman also said itis just a bit roomier than the 09'. Paddle shifter is a nice addition. It's a rail around the corners compared to the 09'. Can I stop now ....

Newbie here... previously had a brand new 2010 RX 350 for about a year... As I looked to get back into a Lexus... I did a lot of research over the last few weeks and just happened to be on the internet yesterday and saw the car I eventually bought that afternoon...

85K miles
It was a 1 owner who took incredible care of the car (best carfax I have ever seen)

Love this car!
