It has 3 rows of seats and nearly all of the electronic features of the more expensive Lexus. It's a treat to drive and time flies as I listen to my favorite audible book on that beautiful large screen. Reason I leased is that technology is moving so fast that in three years I have the option to lease or purchase the latest and newest tech available.

    Lexus is ruining their brand with moving to 4-cylinder turbos for everything. I have a 2013 RX 350, and that V6 is an awesome engine. As Scotty says, it's all about physics.

    When you stop like that in most cars or if you have the stomp the brakes with abs they clap, which is called the pulsating brake pedal, sometimes they clunk while they do it gently or sometimes you'll just get a pulsating brake sometimes people think the brake line is loose that's just in Scotty's case with this extremely eye popping a Lexus! It sounded to me like the brakes were gently pulsating.

That NA V6 makes them feel like a rocket and the interior is as nice as you can get. I would have bought one next time around but I’m out because the new redesign has a turbo engine.

    I have this same 350 but it's 2017. The vehicle is incredible! But recently the rear wheel hub bearings went bad. It was making a roaring, growling, grinding sound. I took it to Firestone and they couldn't figure out what it was. So I went on Yt and Google and did my research and found out that these vehicles are notorious for this issue. Other than no issues and it runs like a top. 🤷🏾‍♂️
