I own the 2015 Lexus rx350 awd. It is the only car that could make me not hate the New Jersey turnpike. Thank you Lexus for building a reasonably quick, quiet, comfortable shocks and beautiful interior car. Star fire pearl exterior and parchment interior. Life is good!
I have a 2015 in the same exterior color, but with beige interior. It really brings the beauty out of this car much better than the black. I really enjoy driving this car, as well as riding as a passenger. It's not fun to drive. It's enjoyable. The driver's seat, its position, and visibility are what make this car a joy to operate around town and on the highways. Ergonomically, everything is where I can reach. The dash has its own look, which I appreciate. The ride is pillowy, but steady. And the engine has plenty of power and refinement. All this and bullet-proof reliability...what more can I ask for? It's an adult's car that says, "I'm comfortable in life and not trying to be someone I'm not."
And did he mention that you can add your photos to the screen? I have a photo of my family and grandkids that pops up each time I start or shut down the car/screen. It has to be loaded from the USB connector using a USB chip and then it will be there each time you start the car or screen. Friends freak out when they see it on the display. It is in the manual.
I really enjoy the creativity and the time you put into the videos. They are very unique and unlike what I see from other car reviews. Please keep up the good work!
Just trolling through your reviews, I love your channel and you've got a new fan. My wife and I have an 03 rx330 awd and its pushing 200k miles. My wife is a big lexus fan and we bought it used for a really good price, I cant get over how smooth it is and I just love driving on our road trips with it because of exactly what you said. It blocks everything out and makes you feel comfortable. We will be buying the newer gen soon because we like it so much. I've even taken it out from northern AZ at 7k elevation all the way down to phoenix at 1k all offroad and it was a breeze.
"We're going to kick off Season 3 with the 2015 Lexus GX 350". Hmmmmm...now that you mentioned it (sort of), I would love to see your take on the Lexus GX 460.
Some of these comments are quite funny. Now here is the Lexus RX, the BEST selling SUV in the US since launch and I can see nothing but trolls and German car fanboys saying how "ugly and old" it looks. For a start, this model came out in 2009 so yes, it looks older because it is old. The 2016 RX is going to blow pretty much every SUV out of the water!
Savagegeese has the best reviews period. His reviews are thorough and come across No BS. His reviews cover every thing - he is the best. Classic 8.41 Scott shows off the neglected RX330 engine - my friend has one at over 300,000 kms and original engine , transmission, the original timing chain, the quality is rock solid man. Rx 350 shares the engine with highlander v6 and camry v6 and venza V6. We bought a used 2008- model year highlander V-6 at 40,000 km and during the 11 years we drove close to 285,000 kms,.......... and still no complaints. just regular oil changes every 10,000 kms , and these engines last long ..........,
It took a lot of time for me to understand that when The One That Got Away, got away - she was much wiser than me, much earlier on. Seeing Mark and Scott in this old review, reminds me of that breakup - painful, but necessary. "The One" found a better fit and I'm happy for her - I hope Scott did too.
Hands down the lowest maintenance, most reliable, and most refined SUV in this class. My daughters 2012 has 64K, second set of tires, one set of pads on front axle, an air filter, and oil changes every 5K and that's it! Change the oil for her myself. My cost about $40.00 for a full synthetic oil change that is $150.00 plus tax at the dealer.
Test drove this car for 2 days. Ugliest car, but once you get in it you forget all about it. Drives so smooth and it's not completely boring. Put a smile on me a couple of times.
The RX is the best at what it does. Not really much can match it. Great car for sure. simple reliably luxury. I think it looks actually good BUT i will say you got the most boring combination for the video.. get it in that shiny red with the 18 inch optional wheels look really good.
Bumped into this by accident, and I gotta say that these two guys are wacky kooky...but in a sort of addictive way. I like it. Good review. I think he meant to say that they are made in Canada, unless every one I've ever seen was an aberration. Good stuff all the same.
The car is mfgd in Cambridge Ontario not Japan. The only lexus plant outside of Japan in the world. I've been in the new RX350 2016. Very sporty interior. This model not so much but king for quiet and comfort if thats your thing.
Great vid man, especially the bit about interior lighting. It's often overlooked, and I love that you mentioned it. Quick question, what mount are you using for your in-car DSLR shots?
Thank's going to be spending more detail on the little things like that. For mounts I use three. For lighter cams I use Ram mounts, single suction. For lighter camcorders, I use Fat Gecko dual suction mounts, this will even work for micro 4/3rds DSLRs. But if you use expensive lens or full frame or format DSLRs I switched to Fat Gecko 3 suction mounts with arm extension. I have never had an issue in several years of use. Best bang for the dollar. For external mounting I always use 3 suction for any DSLR. Or a clamp based Bogen/Manfroto arm, and very soon likely a tether to the DSLR as fail safe.
Concur, I find myself speeding a lot when driving my wife's 2014 RX 350, bc of the lack of noise. You just don't realize you're flying/floating down the road.
I’m looking for my daughters first car, and living in the NE wanted something reliable and AWD. Was thinking about a used TLX Awd but the rx350 being suv and not as fast might be safer and better option? Plus more refined and quiet
Bro, I love your RX350 review! I watched my wife a used RX350 year 2014 after watching your review. So details and professional. I even love your S2000 review too. Can you do another review on Infiniti FX37S for QX70S for year 2012 up to 2017? Because I plan to get one (Infiniti FX37S) for myself after driven my Toyota Prado year 1997 for many years. Keep up your great videos! Cheers.
Bought a 2015 RX350 pre owned, third owner I come to find out, it had about 40,000 miles on the odometer. While the vehicle is a nice ride I find the infotainment part sucks, well the radio is okay the navigation lacks big time. My $250 Android phone is light years ahead. I could totally live without that screen. The "pointing device" leaves a lot to be desired and takes some getting used to, but I want to drive the thing not play with that "mouse". The fuel mileage is very poor, but perhaps for an all wheel drive it is average? I came from driving a Ford 4.0l ranger and a Honda Fit Sport, I'll never forgive myself for getting rid of that 2008 Fit, it was a very fun car to drive (5 speed) and reliable as... well as a Honda
No, I'm from WAshington state. If you do a simple search for used RX 350's on cars.com from 2015, you will see all of their listed VIN's begin with '2', which means they are manufactured in Canada. How did you guys conclude it's made in Japan? Did you guys actually check the VIN of the tested vehicle and see it start with 'J'?
+arthur gan Yes it had a J vin. thats the only reason we said it. Its possible the tester was made in Japan not really sure on global production locations. Did you look at 2015 VINs too?
Turbowski really added nothing to these reviews. Getting rid of him was such a boost to the channel. He says nothing intelligent or entertaining in any video he is in. Typical mechanic.
Hi, I live in Toronto and want to buy one of the following three cars, let me know which one is better 2014 Rx 350 with 230,000kms CAD 19,000 2008 RX 400h with 175,000kms CAD 12,000 2010 RX 450h with 149,000kms CAD 17,000
that mechanic guy dont give a dam about his friend and the lexus ... i just want slap that guy lol ... his dont say anything smart everything his adding is empty ...
you didn't mention these Gen 3 RX's are known to have expensive timing chain and transmission issues, etc.,... as revealed by a quick scan on the clublexus forums. So-called toyota/lexus reliability is often just a public perception and not based in reality. These youtube reviewers are all the same, they tell you nothing about long-term reliability.
either getting an newer X5 or an RX 350 ... the Lexus feels more practical but i feel like a bull getting castrated ... people keep saying lexus is a woman's car
The front design of this car is really ugly. And what's with the outdated looking center console? Sorry but this car is just not worth the money. Most people don't consider Lexus to be a premium brand, and neither do I. RIP Lexus.
+David Bennett Most people consider Lexus a luxury brand. Its yearly sales are the fastest climbing in the luxury segment according to Forbes and "Lexus vehicles were deemed the most dependable new cars the past four years in the annual study conducted by J.D. Power & Associates." You're talking bullshit about an entire company because you think one of their outgoing models is ugly.
I don't know what you are talking about Lexus is a premium brand, and out of the midsize segment RX350 sells over 100K units way more than a beemer or MB, sounds like you are misinformed for sure !
To me, the Lexus RX 350 looks boring and uninspiring. If I want a premium SUV, I would go for BMW or Mercedes. The 2016 Hyundai Tucson looks a lot more attractive than this too. The RX350 lacks a premium look.

I got one same year and I agree!!!
I agree the red exterior and beige interior is most attractive combination for RX 350. I am waiting for this color to buy an used car.
@@eversunnyguy We have the combination you speak of, we call the car Ruby. "she" is a very beautiful vehicle !
I agree I would like a black one with the beige interior as well
I wish these Lexus models would take regular fuel and not premium. I’m on the fence.
These are the best real world car reviews out there.

Nice review
Actually My 2015 RX350 was made in Canada
I pick one up and lexus is now my brand of choice 2011
you deserve a lot more views on your videos! the best-researched car content on the internet!

I just brought a 2015 Lexus RX350 its Pearl white I love my suv just got it yesterday

great video , very well edited and professionally presented.
Thanks for the honest review, I been searching for a used one of these....that mechanic is so hones its just too funny LOL
I miss this Intro.... could you bring it back Mr. Geese?
Loved the review. As it has already been mentioned, this is a unique review.
I’ve made sure to change my oil for the last 8 years every 5k period. Already at 170k. Fingers crossed that my baby lasts me a couple more years
What's better this rx350 or rx450h ??
My name is Karen and I refuse to change my oil, I want to talk to your supervisor.
Test drove this car for 2 days. Ugliest car, but once you get in it you forget all about it. Drives so smooth and it's not completely boring. Put a smile on me a couple of times.

Is it possible to add apple car play to the 2015 model?
2016 to 2022 grills have kept me away from Lexus. I can't get over how effin ugly they look.
I just picked up one of these bad boys for my wife to commute in. Now she's got a need for speed and outstanding warrants in 3 states.
Nice Heat soundtrack. Nothing is accidental sometimes.

there isnt, imho
There is but it depends if you have the option. If you can't find the button most likely you don't have it.

When is Turdowski going to do a full review? Maybe he could review the LX570?

Can I adjust the ride stiffness? Ours is a horrendously rough ride
another great review!

What's the etymology behind the channel name?
+Xbox360Player350 Grandma used to say cars clogged roads like geese clogged sidewalks and that they were savage. Kind of stuck.

yey that 1mz fe, super reliable if u change simple oil
You said GX but it’s RX
I own one. Smoothest ride ever
Really good vid and review!
Does the 2015 f sport have adaptive damper/suspension control whe you go into sport plus mode?
Can i ask for the music name? Espeically the one at 2:20 (if different than the intro music).
Nice production
Your tested had the rare Lexus Safety System with A.C.C

damn i want this but the f sport looks so much better and cost a lot more too lol

*isnt
Its one of those cars that is so mature you can't even be a smart ass about it.
This generation Lexus rx350 better the new one, new rx350,s have plastic cheap side fenders
This SUV just cool... I dislike only one thing - Automatic Transmission design exterior design into saloon - its looks like a weird thing...
American car r just a money pit had a lexus es300 270000 never failed on me still running to this day see it time to time
I thought all those plastic pieces in the engine compartment were to reduce engine noise instead of cosmetics.
also is it just me or is there a lot of sexual tension when they are staring into each others eyes at the end of the video? lol
Toyota lexus vvti does not like the 7plus k oil changes .. max of 4500 and you'll save thousands down the road from replacing the vvti

2010 RX 450h with 149,000kms CAD 17,000
brobably not the hybrid ones. Just buy the simple gas engine.
The mechanic (Scott) is a total buffoon. I doubt he knows how to perform an oil change on a corolla.
What did he do to you?
