I agree. If I am leaving it somewhere like an airport for a few days, I use a steering wheel lock, but otherwise I don't worry unduly.

Another vote for CrossClimates. Miles better than the previous Dunlops both in terms of noise and grip.

Welcome to RX ownership. As I am sure you're discovering, they are a nice way to travel. 31.4 is my average mpg over the last year or so, so you ought to fall nicely within your expected range.

I use one too, prevention being better than detection.

Welcome aboard, the RX is a fine choice and I am sure you'll not regret it. I have a solution to the short journey to the station problem.................. leave the RX on the drive where it's safe, the diminutive toy motor is my station hack:

Welcome aboard, nice car.

I bought my RX Premier from Cambridge about 16 months ago. If you are talking to Charles, give him my regards. He is a star and it was unfortunate that he was on leave the day I was supposed to have collected my car. Upon his return, Charles really sorted stuff out for me when some of his colleagues were, shall we say, less than effective and certainly not very customer focused - a surprise at a Lexus dealer. Funnily enough, it is the only time I have ever not had a feedback questionnaire after a dealer visit and I have had Lexus cars since 2006. Exceptionally poor hand over experience aside, the car itself is perfect. Mine is a 62 plate and has been totally problem free, as I would expect.

I've had my 2013 model (62 plate) RX450h Premier about 15 months now and still love it. My criteria were fairly particular (proper opening sunroof, black interior and anything but silver outside) which limited the options to Premier and Advance models, with only the premier having the air suspension. Like BlackCat, I did the research and concluded that the problems were much much less with later models, so went ahead. I got 3 years warranty with my car: 15 months in, I've not used it which probably isn't a surprise.

Exactly what I did to mine this afternoon, having worked out it wasn't going to change itself (and forgotten what I did back in the Spring when we went the other way). It's not very intuitive though, and I am sure it'd not be too hard to design it so that it could change itself.

Gen 3 RX, 1300 mile holiday in Scotland at 31.6 mpg overall, which includes 2 x 450 mile days there and back. The car's on Michelin CrossClimates at 33psi.

That's a very kind offer, but the RX is just perfect for me at present.

Welcome aboard! Enjoy your new car. Derby is my local dealer and I have been generally very impressed since I bought my first Lexus from them in 2007. However, to get my current RX450h, i did the opposite to you - it came from Cambridge.

That's not great. I've been in to Lexus Derby today, only becasue it's MOT time. Fresh coffee when I dropped it in this morning and the car's come back washed and hoovered inside for no extra charge. All with the usual friendly service so I am very happy with Lexus Derby today. I hope they sort things for you.

Mine is heading to Lewis & Harris in September!

I too wished there was an estate version of the IS. had an old model IS300 Sportcross, which I loved, but the replacement wasn't obvious: CT200 - too small IS300h - pitifully small boot and impossible when you have to transport an elderly parent's wheelchair NX300h - too new and out of my price range at the time. RX450h - probably bigger than I wanted, but I have grown to love the car.

Likewise, 10mpg better than my IS300 SportCross. But economy was not at the top of my wish list when I bought the RX.

Derby is my local dealership, I drive past it every day. Which car did you buy?

Imagine my surprise this morning, when I spied an RX on the hard shoulder of the northbound M1. However, it soon became apparent that it was one of five vehicles with flat tyres in a space of only a couple of hundred yards. Unfortunate for the RX driver but understandable - something had obvious happened to cause so many blow outs in such a short distance. Coming back down the M1 this afternoon, I was even more surprised to see another RX, this time a black 57 plate, on the back of a breakdown truck. Hopefully, that's a rare sight. And if you were either of the unfortunate RX drivers, hope everything's soon sorted for you.

Yes, perfectly fine on everything except precast concrete motorway surfaces, but that stuff is ridiculously noisy for any tyres. I'm happy with the Cross Climates.

I came south on the M1 about 2000 last night, it was the first time I have seen Tinsley viaduct completely white, no black surface at all. My RX, on Michelin Cross Climates, felt sure footed and safe the whole trip.

Greetings and welcome!

My car is a 3RX Premier, becasue I did want the sunroof and a black interior. Pretty much every car with that combination was a Premier and I did do a bit of research on air suspension. My conclusion was that the 3RX didn't seem to have any massive problems and generally any issues were sensors rather than the air system itself. So I went for it. The deal I did (my car was a 62 plate with 23k on the clock) got 3 years warranty and I am now 7 months into that with nothing whatsoever having gone wrong and no arising work on its service in January either. It's a great car, I am very happy.

My 3RX on Michelin Cross Climates has really impressed this morning, not even a hint of wheelspin getting up the hill out of my Dad's place and equally composed coming back in down the hill. Very happy. I still haven't figured out how to do a handbrake turn though. 😁

I too bought my secondhand RX 100 miles away from home, from a Lexus dealer. Mine's a 2013 model, and I had to travel to get the spec and colour I wanted. Even after 6 months in my hands, it's still only at 29k miles. Personally, I would want to establish very clearly what servicing had or had not been done at the sort of mileage you're looking at.

I am quite keen to go and see how the Cross Climates are in the snow..... but there's not that much yet and a G&T before Sunday lunch seems like a much more tempting alternative.
