Thumbs up So far, GREEEEAAAAAT!

Sorry, haven't posted since we got her, but we are enjoying the new ownership experience too much to write!

Already had our first road trip and put on over 500 km going a bit north in Alberta. Mix of wet, slushy, snow packed, and relatively unplowed roads and driveways.
How do we like it so far?? Excellent!!

I will post a pic or two, once she is washed. Right now she has a layer of road filth, for which the headlight washers proved invaluable. The adaptive headlights were excellent in the rurual areas I was driving last night as well. Saw the 3 deer on the side of the road long before they saw me and avoided easily.

Still in break in (according to owner's manual) and am very happy with the performance so far.

Very Happy with the dealership experience. Lexus of Edmonton made the buying experience a good one. Felt like a guest throughout. Had been to the Infinity dealerships looking at the EX35, and had an HORRRIBLE experience. Lexus of Edmonton gave us a reasonable amount for our trade ins, gave us a fair price and threw in a few extras. I would highly recommend Danny Kwok at LofE.

More to follow, I have another road trip today to the south!
Might even get back in time to wash the RX (it has been quite warm here, almost double digit above zero temp [celcius!])

Hope you are thoroughly enjoying it; the hybrid seems to heat the cabin space quite quickly from a cold start in the recent cold weather which is also a plus!
