This past week I was traveling on business in a coworkers RX350. We took turns driving so I got some good wheel time in the X's competitor. Some thoughts.

Pros:
1. Very smooth over rough pavement and bumps. Least jarring vehicle I have ever driven.
2. The leather felt much softer than BMW leather.

Cons:
1. Absolutely zero steering feel. Felt like I was driving on marshmellows. Seemed almost dangerous until I got used to it.
2. Very short bottom seat cushion. They only came to mid-thigh. Felt like I was sitting on a bleacher.
3. Interior does not have a premium look to it, IMO.
4. The engine comparison is a laugh.


This was my first long stint driving a Lexus and I see how they get their reputation as a sofa on wheels. I guess if you're looking for a transportation module, this is the way to go, but I am not impressed.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.
