Besides, GLE already definitely lose to X5 and Lexus RX350 in terms of everything, even Lexus RX also much better than Mercedes GLC300 CBU, both cars have no much different prices but Lexus RX350 is also more reliable, also wins everything in terms of safety, technology, comfort and design compare to Mercedes GLC300

      I guess Mazda CX-8 2.5T power and handling wise is comparable to RX350. Hence Mazda CX-8 2.5T is really a value buy. If one is seeking for more luxury/ comfort feel, then definitely choose RX350. 😊

    Uncle most people who drove luxury version without fsport says the car tend to be floppy and rolling around a lot more due to softer suspension compare to sportier fsport.
    With no fsport for the new rx 2023, do you think the car can take cornering & driving better with fsport suspension or maybe lexus has done tweaks enough to make this luxury version without fsport mountain driving comfortable for speed drivers?

      From what I see, 85 percentum of people who buy these vehicles hardly ever go much above tue speed limit, and are going for the luxurious ride and quietness of the vehicle.
      All can afford it, so they want the top spec.
