Here's some "after" tint pics. All windows got 39% tint (legal limit in MD is 35%). So the front looks lighter than the others.

It does seem a bit cooler, but I also got a sun shade for the windshield too. So I'm sure that helps.

So picked up the F sport. 8speed is awesome! Handles well, love the ride...it did lose its classic RX feel of my previous one. But so far so good. I will play around with it more on the weekend...

Not sure if this is new, but it comes with LED fog lights, the new NAV joystick i found to be much more friendlier to the fingers. Otherwise all looks same in this new 2015. * Edit: tires came with Michelin's. I know the few i test drove for 2014..had other brand for the F sport? Dunlop i think.

Congrats niklow!

The F-Sport is officially not rated for towing. If you want to have any towing capabilities, you will have to remove the lateral performance damper underneath the rear bumper. Confirm this with your dealer if towing is important to you. Good luck and enjoy your F-Sport.

Smile New F Sport RX owner

Just picked up my White RX F Sport on 6/26. It has the dark red interior. Very happy with it so far.
Took it on 1600 mile trip. Averaged 26.5 mpg. Got as high as 28 mpg on the highway at 70mph.

Plan on adding a hitch. Looks like I will have to buy a new Curt #13143 hitch. My old hitch off my 450h does not have a mounting tab on the drivers side for the damper support bar to re attach to.
My Lexus dealer will not install without re attaching the bar. Once you put a hitch on the bar serves no purpose. I cannot get Lexus to tell me it is not needed once a hitch is installed. My old hitch is in great shape and will work on RX350 /450h but it will have to be thrown away.

Yes it does. All you have to do is add a hitch and wiring.

Hey All-
Looks like I'm swapping my GS350 (13) for a F-Sport RX350. I'm curious what average MPG's people are getting?

Wow, congrats. The GS is a sweet ride and handler.

My wife mostly uses it, short city trips, so this is a near worst-case on on fuel economy. Getting 13L/100km or 18 MPGs. On the highway 70-75mph, average about 25 MPGs.

I have the damper support bar that I didn't use for my 2010. Message me if you are interested in reusing your old hitch.
