No complaints from me on my 450h except for maybe the heat, or lack of, in the winter. But it's my fault, I keep it in eco mode

Although I love my 2010 RX350 I have to agree with Curmudgeon about the center console. You really can't keep much in there if you want to go find those cables. I've begun letting them hang out, but it doesn't look great.

I'm still ticked that my DroidX Android phone can not be connected as a Bluetooth phone and music player at the same time. The BT phone works well and it doesn't bother me to find the phone number on the phone and press call versus having the car do it.

My other big complaint is that they made the dashboard buttons so small. I had a 2007 before and it was very well set up. The small buttons are not very intuitive at all.

I agree that the complaints seem minor. My point would be that I had NONE of these issues with my RX-300.

I can't tell you how many curse words flew out of my mouth trying to take everything out of the damn console to try to get to the bottom of the thing and trying not to undo my own charger. We probably had to go through this about three times for each different time they rode in my car. Such a design flaw!!!

My sister-in-law even joked that that might stop her from buying this car once my lease is up(that is, if I do decide to turn it back in!)
Even she couldn't believe how difficult it is to change out the chargers in the bowel of hell down there.
With $8 i have 3 extra useful 12V plugs at a convenient location. The one in the console is just for my iphone charger

I can't figure out where that is in the car. Can you explain? Also, can you give the part number of the $8 three plug extension? I'd like to do exactly this!

A lot of the new cars including the 2012 SRX give you a can of fix-a-flat and that is it, no spare at all. Get ready it's coming your way.
LOL...yep. Two years ago I had a flat on a rental car in Spain. A VW with a fix it kit. Instructions in German, baffled bystanders speaking Catalan. Instructions said to not go more than 60 km (36 MPH), and I had 100 km of freeway road ahead.

Nope. 50MPH. Out west, it is possible to be in areas out of cellfone/sos/desitnation assist range, and have a flat. For example, somewhere between LA and Las Vegas or LA and Phoenix....etc.

For a complete set of pictures about the funny spare issue, see my rant at:

True...unfortunately, that is rather open ended and requires interpretation.

Nice. But, how did you get the cable from the gadget to the console outlet. Did you cut a hole in the console?
