Default Is the rx worth it?

About to pull the trigger on the Rx and had to ask any regrets?

No regrets for me, but what are YOU looking for in a SUV?
I never assume my needs are the same as others.

The title of the thread asks; "Is the RX worth it". My question is, compared to what??

Also, as bootman asked above, OP what are you looking for in an SUV?

I've only had my car for 1 week and if I could rewind, I would buy it all over again. But this time park it in the garage on the Monday when it rained =p

No regrets at all. Drives like a dream. Incredible value for the money. You won't be sorry.

Yup. 8 months in, and still enjoy every single ride (little annoying things aside
A solid car, great drive, and the futuristic/aggressive look keeps people's heads constantly turned my way.

If you have the money get a porsche cayenne turbo. Or a mercedes AMG. Or a TESLA X!

And because you have the money you are ok with dealing with issues and the higher cost of maintenance and the cost of gas.

If you have no money get a Toyota Rav 4. The acura MDX is nice too but very conservative.

Lexus is one of the best for a luxury vehicle, ride, comfort, dependability. It's a good long term car. But then again if you're rich you can just get a new car every few years or even lease one.

It's all about the benjamins.

Traded in a Ford Edge Limited, out of warranty and starting to have some issues. Wife love her RX 350, it has all the bells and whistles the Edge had plus more. Other than the issue with the software upgrade last month she loves it.

Currently I like my 450h. Very nice. no noise or other jerky issue. maybe because it is a hybrid.
