1) bad navi
2) not reliable leather
3) when you press that 4x4 button to help you drive in bad conditions, after a few seconds it decides that it doesnt need it anymore and automatically shuts down to a split power back to what it was instead of keeping it 50:50
4) Window curtains would be lovely in the rear
5) no sunglasses compartment
6)outdated backup camera and navi system overall
7) Would be nice if Lexus were to tune the engine a little make it put out more HP and more torque, at least 350HP would be way more fun to drive, it feels clumsy otherwise...
8) Once again leather sucks, its very thin, gets wrinkles easily etc, even if you take care of it often, my 2000 ES seats were in much better condition with half the maintenance i put in 2010 rx..

I would have to agree about the leather.

It is very soft and feels nice, but the center armrest cover is already showing it's age.

I am already on the look-out for a replacement armrest on Ebay.

However, I have to find a light gray leather one which is hard to find.

^^ same thing, like rear seats are 9 out of 10 because they are barely used, front seats are 6.5-7 out of 10, and arm rest feels like its from 1st gen RX, i try not to rest my arm on it but it just looks ridiculously bad for its age, thinking of maybe reconditioning the interior, touch up everything, make it look brand new, costs about $150-$200 in NY, bit expensive, not sure if its worth it or will it turn the same within a year or so

No but honestly I would probably reach for my cell phone rather than press the SOS button anyway. Cut out the middleman and the extra fees associated with the service. But then again there are many valid use cases for the SOS button.

I have not been using the A/C button in the menu ever since.

Nice tip.

I only use the auto button to turn my AC on or off as well.

However, I still have to go into the menu to adjust the temperature.

OK.

That make sense to why you have the eyeglass holder.

I thought that I may have missed the eyeglass holder or something since I rarely drive the RX.

I just checked mine and it do not have an eyeglass holder, just a SOS button in its place.

I want to saw the Parking e-brake pedal off. It has been placed it the worst position of Constellation Galaxy's life. during long trips it is in the way of resting your left foot.
