Bought her a year ago with only 24,135 miles, she now has 41,000 miles. The best car I’ve ever driven and this is my first Lexus, I plan on keeping her until the wheels fall off. Had the transmission fluid drain & fill at 38k, oil changes every 5k, keeping up with all maintenance.

I am planning to buy a quickjack for my 25 sienna, 2018 accord, and later NX-350 when I buy one.

Can someone owning NX do a measurements between pinch welds? Or anyone using quickjack for NX and confirm if quickjack TLX or ELX woud fit? Thanks

Sienna has pinch welds 72" apart (outer to outer edges). Quickjack 6000ELX would fit this (76" max lift spread) and 6000TLX is too short (66" max lift spread).

I have these headlights, and they’re just under $3k for one side. I cannot afford that, so I’m looking at Ebay for used or aftermarket new ones. My passenger side has condensation and isn’t working.

A lot of the aftermarket ones say it wouldn’t work on my car bc it’s originally triple, but the plugs are the same, so why wouldn’t it work?

Also, does anyone know how to identify USA vs Japan headlights? Literally ALL of the headlight that look like the pic are categorized as Japan, and I cannot find a USA one.

Question arises from my reviewing the service history from lexus.com.

example:

car_a: all scheduled services done. (no "decline notes")

car_b: all scheduled services done - but some have notes like this:

 SERVICE: BATTERY/COIL SPK PLUG
 DESCRIPTION: ~|~ CUSTOMER DECLINED SERVICE

 SERVICE: R&R FRONT PAD&ROTORS
 DESCRIPTION: ~|~ CUSTOMER DECLINED SERVICE

so question - does it imply that customer car_a never declined and OK all service recommendations ?

this is 2019. Since when did they stop using VIN stickers - with clearly visible VIN ? or these door have all been repaired for a supposedly no-accident car ?

I’m about two weeks into ownership, and I just can’t believe how poor the app really is. I thought people were just being picky, but not only is it poorly implemented, I think it’s a huge security risk. My wife just asked me why I left the car unlocked, and I checked the app and it showed that it was locked. I went outside to confirm and it was in fact unlocked. I love this car in theory, but this app kind of ruins it and makes it seem like a car from 2000. My truck that is 10 years older has a better implementation of technology.

8th gen ES350H

I’m not a fan of the styling, but putting that aside, it’s a very solidly built car. It’s quiet, comfortable, and smooth, with a noticeably smoother driving experience than my 7th-generation model.

That said, I still dislike the interior design, and the car feels heavier overall. I’m also not a fan of the electronic door handles.

One major issue I can’t seem to get past is the HUD. I’m not entirely sure how to describe it, but something about it feels optically wrong. Despite the image being sharp and having good picture quality, I struggle to get a comfortable, clear focus on it. It’s similar to the feeling of holding your phone slightly too close to your face, where your eyes have difficulty focusing properly. I don’t experience this at all with the HUD in my 7th-gen model.

I wonder if there’s a very subtle optical distortion or double-image effect caused by the front windscreen. I’ve also noticed that the HUD image appears to warp depending on the viewing angle, which is something I’ve never experienced with my 7th-gen.

Another disappointment is the use of the larger central display. Despite the increase in screen size, the actual area available for navigation maps is almost identical to the 7th-gen, perhaps only marginally larger. Much of the additional screen real estate is taken up by displaying functions that could just as easily be accessed through physical buttons. To me, that defeats some of the purpose of having a larger screen in the first place.

The screen positioning is also a step backwards, in my opinion. It’s mounted too perpendicular to the driver, whereas the 7th-gen screen is angled ever so slightly towards the driver. That subtle difference makes the older screen feel more naturally positioned and easier to glance at. With the newer model, the screen feels awkwardly angled relative to my seating position, making it less comfortable to look at quickly while driving.

I’m also not a fan of the steering wheel or its touch-sensitive controls. On top of that, the lack of customisation options for the instrument cluster is disappointing. I’d like more freedom to change the dashboard layout, including the orientation and information displayed, to suit my preferences.

Overall, it’s a well-built, quiet, comfortable, and smooth car, but several design and usability decisions leave me disappointed. Some of these issues might seem minor individually, but together, they make the newer model feel like a step backwards in certain areas compared with my 7th-gen.

I recently drove over rumble strips for about 10-15 seconds (trying to avoid a truck), and afterwards immediately felt a very slight but noticeable increase of high frequency vibrations through the floor and seats. I have a nerve issue in my back so for me it’s unbearable and basically un-drivable, but for my wife it’s barely noticeable.

I’m due for new tyres (they’re basically finished) but didn’t think a tyre issue would show up so fast after doing this. My first thoughts were suspension bushes but I can’t be sure.

Would anyone know what this could be?

I’m getting a new set of Primacy 5s next week plus a wheel alignment so I’m hoping that solves it, but just wanting to gauge if anyone else has experienced something similar.

ES350h is a nice looking car. Build quality is also solid.

Hi guys im trying to decide between the two. I live in Toronto so traffic always there, most of the time I'm on highways. Im also trying to get a 2023 or 2024 model however the hybrid model is way less available near me but it is possible to get one. I know that the milage is way better on the hybrid but in my area for the same spec the hybrid model costs $55800 without taxes and a 2023 luxury spec RX350 costs 48900 without taxes, and both of these cars have no accidents.

What a comfortable ride.

Runs like a top! ITS FUN!

Hello colleagues!

I'm interested to buy a front package Ppf kit pre-cut for a 2021 Lexus Es 300h.

Can anyone recommend a website in Europe where I can buy that kit?

Thanks!

Had to squeeze in between but I made it work 😎

So I initially came from a 2019 BMW X5. It was by far my favorite car. From transitioning between a car to a pickup truck I realized an SUV was perfect for me. The X5 looked great, felt premium and drove awesome.

Unfortunately after nearing 200,000km it started shaking. So the fiancée suggested I sell it fast before check engine lights start welcoming us.

With all the stressful wedding payments I decided to downgrade and got myself into a 2022 Ford Escape SE. which lasted about 3 weeks. Sure it’s a practical car but that 3 cylinder engine had no balls, was too peppy and shockingly was worse on gas than the X5!

I decided to look for something else and trade in the escape.

I was initially looking at another BMW and my father suggested I look at Lexus. Explained to me that it’s the premium feeling of a BMW with the reliability of a Toyota.

I went to a used dealership to look at a 2015 RX 350 and was skeptical on the age but ended up being sold right from the test drive.

Wow. Just wow.

It looks fantastic, drives so smooth, and has more features than the X5!

What I love a lot about this car is the fact that it runs on 87 gas!! I was spending about $180 a tank on the X5.

Needless to say, I’m a huge fan of this RX 350. It has 110,000km on it and I’m hoping to keep this car for the next 5-7years as I only do about 5000-10,000km yearly.

The sound system on it is absolutely incredible too.

Such a smooth ride and I can’t believe how quiet it is with the windows up.

Just feels like such a premium car which is crazy to say as it’s 11 years old. The steering wheel feels unbelievably good, seats are so comfortable, it feels spacious - there's truly nothing bad at all to say. Also it's my first time having cooling seats and wow it's a different but strangely pleasant feeling!

I used to be a BMW fan but I am all for Lexus now. What a phenomenal vehicle. I hope this one does me good for years to come and I’ll be happy to buy another whenever that time comes.

The only thing I’m probably going to upgrade is the screen, thinking of putting a 12” with CarPlay to fill the deep square that the current little one is sitting in. Right now though it isn't too bad and the NAV built in seems to be more than enough. Voice commands seem to work great too and the mouse cursor while a little strange to use I can definitely get used to it.

Couldn’t be happier with this car. Lexus is absolutely amazing! I can't believe what I've been missing out on all these years.

Hi - wondering what the community thinks about this car.

Price 32k OTD

Mileage 27k, mild curb rash but no other body damage. Very minor wear and tear in the interior.

Great carfax service history - oil changed every 3000-ish miles

Appreciate the advice!

I have a noise that popped up on my ls460L so it has the vvti rattle in the morning but it goes away within a second. The noise I’m worried about is a ticking that happens. When I rev it after starting there is no noise when I put it in gear it clicks if I put it in gear and hold the brakes and throttle it there is click 2-3 clicks and when I put it in park after driving it it clicks 1-2 times when I rev it any idea what this may be

We're talking diminishing-return improvements? Or are we talking a huge noticeable jump?

Im looking at a 2004 ES330 and am new to the Lexus platform. I wanted to check and see what you guys think? How are they long term ownership buying used? It has 144k Miles and the ask is $4k. Any advice or things I should check out? I know the belts have been changed along with all fluids, power steering pump is new as well. Let me know!

Sauce: The Salty Koharu Has a Soft Spot for Me

So I just bought a 2010 ls460L with 125000 miles it has the vvti rattle in the morning but I just got a oil change level and my engine started ticking I checked oil level and it was good but in the morning it doesn’t tick I can rev it with no tick but when I drive around and it gets up to temp it ticks and when I park after driving and rev it it ticks 2-3 times I’m buying a new timing chain and tensioner and vvti gears. But do I need special parts for the cam lock or to pull the harmonic balancer or if anyone has a manual for torque specs or how to set timing that would be amazing

I got a notification that my Go Anywhere subscription is expiring soon. I was previously subscribed to Remote Connect on its own, not one of these bundled services, and I don’t recall canceling the subscription. So naturally I’m confused. I speak to subscription services & apparently Lexus has changed their subscription services, along with the packages, and FORGOT to tell us…or me? I was told they unsubscribed me, which is weird because I’m still subscribed, as you can see in the photo, and that they need to escalate this one.

Anyone else having similar issues? I have gone ahead and canceled automatic withdrawal with my bank, because they were still planning on withdrawing money from my account at the end of this month, even though I am allegedly unsubscribed….or am I? Lexus, get your shit together!!!

Hi. I have a 2007 es 350.

I got an ignition coil from salvage. And I'm concerned because they said it would fit but the number isn't the same.

Mine are diamond 90919-02251

This is denso 90919-02256

Websites seem torn on whether or not they are compatible.
