Default Goodbye All

Well, after a long consideration, I traded in my 2016 Ultra White F-Sport for a 2018 Audi S4. Sad to see the RX go and sad to leave the Lexus family but there were just too many issues with the car and I missed the excitement of the drive. I’m sure I will be back with Lexus in the future.

Final Goodbye
Hello S4!
Thanks to everyone on the forum that has always helped me out when I had questions or concerns!

In other words you never wanted the RX Your choice of S4 confirms that all you wanted was a small performance packed sedan. Enjoy.

For a small fast ride, I personnally would have gone for and S5, or with a little more cash a nice TT. But everyone have their need!

Have fun!

I still enjoy my (problemless) RX 350!

Between tint, bra, wheels, tires, suspension and other electronic gadgets, I've already dropped more than 10k into mine and it only has 400 miles on my '17 450h. I hope to have the same experience as you with this one because my other Lexus vehicles have never let me down.

I feel your pain. I have had a number of issues with our F sport. Very disappointed in Lexus to say the least and went from an Audi Q5 which in hindsight was a fantastic car. But mileage was getting near to 100k and we decided to go Japanese for the quality, reliability and refinement. I feel like purchasing this RX350 was one of the biggest mistakes I have made and are seriously thinking of getting rid of it now at 30k and having it for only 18 months.

Hi technodis, Greg from Australia here, is your RX made in Canada? All ours in Oz are Japan made, we don't appear to be having issues with ours - could there be quality control issues with the Canadian cars?

Hey Greg. We have a Canadian built RX. Don’t believe a Japanese built one is an option in the US.
