Is Heads Up Display (HUD) worth it
#17
I love the power folding mirrors, that's one of the reason I got the LL package.

I love the HUD. I drive a lot of secondary roads with changing speed limits, and it's amazing how handy it is to see the speed being displayed with out taking my eyes off the road. ditto the Nav screen turn info. I honestly didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I do.

I have a 2010 RX 450h with all the bells and whistles sold in Canada except the towing package, which I would never use. I think the HUD is the single best feature. It almost makes up for the terrible Navigaion package. It has saved me several speeding tickets as it forces me to pay attention to my speed. I have had no problem using it with prescription trifocal sunglasses. (The next step is a seeing-eye dog) I suppose, from reading this thread, that the sunglasses are not polarized.

thanks every for the replies,
what is the tow package, is it an option that i need? I'm to purchase the car and every msrp i see, they add that package. Is it installed into the car at port or can I tell them I don't want it on signing day?

Tow package is heavy duty radiator and alternator plus a transmission cooler. I believe it is only available on the AWD as it is the only one with a tow rating.
I wanted it because I live in the desert and heavy duty parts are a necessity.

And I believe it only adds about $300 to the bottom line as best as I can recall.

Love it
Radio stations, turn-by-turn NAV, speed.
I do wish that there was some user-defined options with the HUD though.
* Like Radio/SAT station display "on/off" and choices for time these are displayed as well as "on always" off always"
* Capability of actual time displayed
* metadata - artist and song and album, track, etc.

well I have struck a deal with my dealer for the lexus with comfort, nav, and lux package with heads up dispay.
it won't be here till 26th of march. But they didn't ask me for deposit. Is this usually? I thought they would ask for deposit it, is there any way they can screw me?
I mean i want that vechical that was posted to me.
Also, what tire comes with the 19"?

You bet they would screw you. I even put a deposit one time (LONGO Lexus) and found out after the vehicle showed that someone else got it and they didn't tell me I was putting a deposit to be 2nd inline if the other guy didn't take it. Few weeks later I was finally able to get my money back and I bought the car someone else.

My dealer did not want a deposit either. Arrowhead Lexus. They at no time attempted to screw me, in fact they went out of their way to make the deal work. Very happy with them.
19's can come with the Bridgestones or Michelin's. I requested the Michelin's and the dealer made it happen. They had to take them off another RX, but they did it.
