Great test of the interior space for 5 adults 👍😂. I definitely agree with you on bulbous section of the hood and grill, I can't seem to get use to it no matter how many times I look at it.
@EddieX How are the F-sport seats for you? I test drove it and the bolsters are tight especially at the shoulders. I cannot rotate my shoulders back which was a little uncomfortable. I wonder how it was for you after a week of driving it and if it will be a deal breaker. Thank you!
I'm not sure why some companies think they need to create these bizarre shifting systems. Dials, joysticks, pushbuttons, etc... that's an instant hard pass for me regardless of how good the rest of the vehicle maybe. Good review though
Basically every new car has a digital shifter these days. I like them when there's still a shifter like this one but hate the cars with just buttons to shift.
The Grecian Water part cracked me up! Eddie is not exactly the worldly type, eh? 😁 I hadn't even tried the wide-angle on my IS before. Went out and tried it, and confirmed: Lexus rearview cameras are just... super "warpy". 😂The drivetrain is my biggest concern with the new RX. Do you think it is Lexus material?
One other thing - the paddle shift response, even in my previous IS 350, was garbage unless I was in actual manual mode by selecting "M" in the gear selector. My IS 500 is a different story, of course, but it seems like Lexus uses paddles as gear limiters rather than a true manual mode unless you're in M.
This is a chik car not fit for you. The one thing this had that was nice was the V6 which they get rid of. I hope you test the new Prius. For you better fit is Yukon Denali Ultimate.
Those steering wheel buttons are easy to use especially with the HUD. It took less than a day to get use to it and so convenient.

I was also looking at the gv70 but dealing with dealerships was a major complaint from people and reliability with hyundai and KIA were a factor.
The best interior is ES350 with luxury trim, old school all the way.
The best Lexus for normal people is the Lexus ES350 with V6. Just get normal suspension and it rides like butter 🧈

for someone over 6feet or broad shoulders, they might be a deal breaker. you can opt them out for the normal plusher ones.
I always love these videos, loving the interior of the RX, great video!
Thanks! 👍
As a 28 year firefighter, I've seen lots of broken noses and wrists at accidents from people that put their hand at the top of the wheel.
Where’d you’d get the running boards? Are they OEM?
Grecian means relating to Greece.

Is the engine buzzy or nice and quiet?
From my experience pretty quiet mostly .
Much better watch today.

4-cylinder... Really??? What a piece of junk, not a good choice.
Nah a 4cy will outlive the 6 or 8cy german cars for a mile. You are talking crap? Those are real crap
5 adults is the real test
Thinking about getting this for my wife

Woah check out Hercules over here
Does 2023 Lexus RX has the driver seat thigh extension option (or it is part of a bundled version)?
This is not a BMW.
👍👍
