this is only reliable if you updated the " oil cooler pipe", otherwise your engine will be in catastrophic condition,if you have this engine 2GR-FE that includes 2007-2015 toyotas like Highlander,sienna, RX350. BETTER CHANGE YOUR "OIL COOLER PIPE" now now now not tomorrow because the rubber hose is not hydraulic and may burst anytime and drain all your MOTOR OIL, THIS IS A WARNING,WARNING WARNING, I dont understand why TOYOTA-LEXUS never call this as a RECALL. so you guys there with this model, DO THE UPDATES NOW, SEARCH THIS IN YOU TUBE.ua-cam.com/video/iD8uyvkqKsk/v-deo.html
@@Pusongmamon413 yep, it did happen to me back in February of this year! Luckily my engine did not get damaged. I was pretty pissed off at Lexus because I had a 2007 RX that I did get the recall notice about the same thing and it was taken care of. When I called the dealership about it with my 2010, they claimed that they sent me a notice about it, and I I told them I never got the notice for this vehicle. And I was like, you had the same issue on the previous generation RX and you didn’t fix it for the next generation RX? That kind of blew my mind. So since I didn’t know about the recall and I didn’t know about them supposedly fixing it and it had to be within 10 years of the recall notice I fell outside of being able to get it done for free😡. But thankfully I guess I didn’t drive it long enough to ruin the engine. The engine is fine and the oil pipe has been replaced.
Hi I did like video. It is very informative and helpful to berter know the cad. I also like how you took the time to open most of the compartment; particularly in the passenger seat showing the cupholders and storage with it. As though the glove box was not opened and none of the consoles features were mentioned. It is not as detailed as it could be but it was still nice. Thanks
This video answers a question I was wondering, which is whether it’s possible to get the heated and ventilated seats without the horrible mouse thing some of them came with. Glad to see this configuration is out there.
I do like the invisibilityness of it though. It's a nice car but it doesn't broadcast wealth. It's a very honest car but it's nice enough to not feel like a budget car. Unlike new cars it was designed to be a bit more sophisticated and a bit more subtle with its styling. It's not meant to be a show-off car and that to me is a great thing. It's why I like Lexus products since they are nice but they don't make you look like a rich jerk like a BMW or a Mercedes would do.
What are you talking about? If someone think Lexus' are cheap, doesn't know about cars anyway. They hold their value and start at a high sticker price. YOU think it's unassuming but it's not a sleeper by any means. It's only a non-head-turner in public because many people own it but that never made Lexus lower the price. If most people had Mercedes-Benzs' the same logic applies. Seeing a dude in a Lexus looks more rich than a guy in Mercedes because Used Mercedes are cheaper because maintenance is expensive.
@@maurice2014 Not really. The Mercedes will always be that much better in terms of design and performance, just because it's how these luxury car companies operates. Sure, maintenance is "expensive," but that is also what makes them look a bit richer. A rich person doesn't much care anyways about maintenance, since they own it for a year and then sell it, or lease the thing. Lexus is a fantastic brand, but it's no Mercedes in terms of brand prestige
@@colechapman6976 IN YOUR opinion. A 2016 RX vs. A 2016 ML/GLE ---Rx's value is still twice as much in 2023. The components last longer in every way... you must be a casual car fan. The prestige of the Lexus is greater in that everyone knows it's the greatest balance of luxury and reliability.
@@maurice2014 It is a great balance, but why do people then choose the big three Germans and why are they priced more than Lexus? It is because they offer technology the moment it is created. They craft interiors with better quality and tech. Lexus makes great products, don't get me wrong, but there is a reason German cars new are more expensive than Japanese cars. They may not be reliable, but they do craft damn fine interiors and use great technology that are usually the first to come to market
I just bought another 2010 RX 450h ( I had one before). Actually, I prefer it to my Tesla Y because I can use it to go to snow country no problems. With bluetooh, I can Spotify. While in the city, it feels like an electric car.
HELP…Can anyone confirm if the SOS button (next to the rear view mirror) should light up red and stays on after engine starts? I’m not subscribe to the SOS service. My father swears the SOS button never turns on or at least don’t remember seeing it. Thx in advance.
Nice review....picking up a fwd 2011 model with 100k this Sunday. Hoping to get at least 5 years of 75K miles out of it. (PS...Your wife talks exactly like Chloe Kim...lol)
How did that purchase go man? About how much did that cost you? I am about to purchase a 2011 off of craigslist within the next day or 2... with 103k miles on her
@@DannyWohl I was going to pay $11K for it. It was in nice shape. Sadly, the guys wife got covid, and he called it off. He gave me the $100 deposit back, and I noticed he "reposted" it back on CL a couple weeks later. Hmmmm??? Anyways, I bought a 2011 Toyota Avalon with 105,000 mile for $7200 a few weeks ago. Very nice shape and I'm getting 30 miles a gallon with her. Very happy so far. I'm a Bergen County NJ guy as well...near The Meadowlands.
@@DannyWohl That almost seems to good to be true. Wish you all the luck, but you have to be careful on craigslist. A lot of auction cars that have had their titles "washed", as to not reflect hurricane (water) or larceny (stolen) insurance claims. I find the best way to buy a car there, is to meet at the persons home. When you are buying a car it is better to see and determine the type of individual they are, and how they treated there automobile. A lot of "car-flipper's" on CL...most of them pretend they are the owner, or they are "selling the car for a friend or an uncle". All these claims are always bullshit. Let me know how it turns out.
I am in the market for a used RX350 and I found a 2010 RX350 with 120.000 mileages 2 owners with a regular oil changed. I just want to know if there are any major problems with this 3rd Gen model? Anyone can help?
the only real issue I know is that the oil lines can degrade over time and about 10 years time (about now) they can start to leak and let go. I would check the oil lines or get them replaced
@@ZeroTwoSixty How many mileages do you have on your RX350? have you done replaced the oil lines and how much does it cost? The car I look is at the dealer and it's $13K for 2010 base model without navigation is a good deal in Twin Cities, Minnesota? Thank you for a reply.
@@tuyhoaphuyen3412 over 120000, we replaced the oil lines last month when they let go and lost all oil. Luckily, the engine was shut off and the car was towed before any damage occurred
@@AlanTrades there is no remote starter on this car. it has push start which means you can have the key fob in your pocket and press the engine start button to start the car, but you cannot start it from outside the car
@@ZeroTwoSixty Are you sure ? I didn't realize mine had remote start for the first month I had then figure out it did. Press the lock button 3 times in a row holding it on the 3rd press for 10 seconds.
pindiwal I’m approaching 104,000 miles on my 2010 RX, and other than replacing the tires and one set of brakes front and back and oil changes every 10,000 miles I’m still good to go and the car still drives like new👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Eleanor, thank you for replying. I'm probably looking to buy in future an RX350 with something like 30,000 miles and would like to keep it till at least 150,000 miles. I don't buy brand new cars hence always looking for reliable used cars. I think Toyota/Lexus is one of them. I bought a 2010 Ford Edge (full options) in 2014 and as much as I love it, I think Lexus might have been better.
The nice part about this engine is the reliability and quality. I have no issues at 110,000 miles. Nice thing is, this engine has a timing chain which should last the lifetime of the vehicle, or be changed once if you keep it past 200,000. I do have a wheel bearing replacement coming up, but the car has been great so far!
@@abelcastler sorry for the late reply, but the consumption difference really comes from different engine tuning, i believe 2010 models still recommended premium, but by 2013 they recommend regular which may account for some of that difference. But I do not think there is a difference. engine and transmissions are the same
The generation exterior looks better then the current generation
I totally agree 👍
I have one. It soaks up bumps like an SUV twice its size. It's the only car I've been able to drive 800 miles a day without feeling tired.
Great Job.... Just purchased one days ago. My husband and the children Love it....
This car is super reliable! Been driving one for the past eight years with no issues. I have a little over 100,000 miles on it😁

yes you can!
Alas, the seats may be heated but they are not cooled - just ventilated. In "cooling mode" the seats only just draws ambient cabin air.
fair point, but I do consider that to be "cooled seats" in the same way a fan in a room moves ambient air, it does bring the feeling of cooling
@Mr. Cairo understood, but most of the industry does not make much of a difference when it comes to marketing.
Better than hot leather seats during summer!
