The 2010 RX350 I rode in was my co-worker's and I did not like rougher ride.

Actually, my wife test droved the 2008/9/2010 RX350, BMW X3, Audi Q5, Infiniti FX and 2010 Acura MDX.
First choice for her was the Audi Q5, then second choice was 08/9 RX350, then MDX (she said it is too wide) She did not really like the "sporty" ride of the X3, FX nor the 2010 RX. I pursuaded her into the 08 RX due to my fear of Audi reliability. She is loving the 08 now for its plush and quiet ride. I am happy to save at least $6-8K.

We JUST bought our 09 two day's ago. The big deciding factor to buy a second gen car was $$$. To jump to a 10 would cost around $4K to $5K more with the same options and about the same mileage. Make no mistake, used RXs are in demand and command dollars. Their reliability is legendary so folks don't hesitate to buy them. We bought ours for my wife (so I get the old 05 Highlander) and she's thrilled with it.

 

I just bought my 2008 RX350 last monday (about 12 days ago). Having purchased 2 toyota's, including my last vehicle being a Tacoma, I can absolutely see the Toyota's signature on my new lexus. By that I mean, solid, consistent and reliable.

I love the softer ride and when i have hit some bumps and potholes with my Lexy, she feels firm and solid like my Tacoma did. But when my Lexy is on the road, she's quiet, soft and sweet. I feel like its the absolute best of both worlds.

I also looked at buying the 3x gen model, a 2010 lexus rx350, however the price was just past my budget.

 

If I had a long freeway trip and driving 65-75ish, I can get 25mpg. Changing out an old air filter lead to increase in mileage.

most mixed is 18-20ish but higher mileage can be had if don’t drive with a lead foot on the freeway

 

I can get 24+ mpg, on the freeway as well, at a constant 75+......
