MPG confusion

I just filled the tank for the first time on my 2026 NX 350h. The car took 10 gallons to fill up. My odometer reading is 420 miles. So, I calculate that the MPG for that tank of gas was 42mpg (420 miles/10 gallons). But the meter Total Average Fuel Economy shows 33.5mpg. Any idea of why these differ? The car had 3 miles on it when I picked it up from the dealer.

long term keeper

what would make the most sense for a 10+ years car? seems like the future will be less and less petrol cars sooooo that makes me wonder if full gasoline or hybrid?
Actually thinking if I should go por the IS v6 2026 or a RX350h? (or maybe just the rx350)

$1400 for all sides and small pano roof tint (Llumar AIR 80). Bay area. Is it a reasonable price?

I want to get my 2026 rx350h tinted. Looking at following numbers-

  1. Windshield- 80% (Llumar AIR 80)
  2. Sunroof- 80% (Llumar AIR 80)
  3. Front doors- 80% (Llumar AIR 80)
  4. Rear doors and back glass- 50% (Llumar IRX 50).

The total OTD price is $1400. Is this a good deal? Or should i shop around and try to find a cheaper deal?

I’m getting ready to buy a RX 350h. What are your “Must Have” options? And what options should I skip? TIA

To clarify, a new 2026 RX 350h in the US. Thanks!

Wife thinks this is a waste of time and money... But the black emblems look so much better on the white car

Body damage from neighbor's doors

Am I over reacting? Can I claim against their insurance?

Condo parking spot next to mine is against a wall and a blue Prius has started parking in it - badly. They seem to struggle to park near the wall and end up way over to my side of their spot. I reacted by parking my RX as far to the other side of my spot without pissing off the car parked the other side.

Despite that, today when cleaning my RX today, I find my previously immaculate car has multiple small chips and dents. I'm gutted as I take a lot of care over it.

Followup: 2020+ Rav4 vs RX450h

Hey folks,

Recently I posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatcarshouldIbuy/s/oliRM0Pnxx

Asking whether it was worth stretching to a 2020+ RX450h over the rav4 hybrid.

The price range for the rav4 hybrid xse/xle prem/limited in my area is like 30-40k depending on year and mileage. The RX with the options we wanted was 35-45k.

We test drove a 2023 rav4, 2021 CX-5, 2022 rx 450h and 2012 RX450h in the same day.

The conclusion we came to was that the drivetrain and build of the RX was definitely better than either the mazda or the rav4. But the main difference between the 2012 and 2022 was technology and condition.

We didn't feel like spending ~$20k extra to get all the latest tech, so we chose to find a super clean 2015 RX 450h. All the options we wanted, great record. $22k before taxes and fees.

Definitely a risky move because it's an 11 year old car but the low entry price gives us a lot of room to fix things before even approaching the cost of the 2020s. Plus the insurance and potential repair and depreciation costs will be much lower.

My advice is, if you feel like you need to score the deal of the century to be at peace with the purchase, you're probably looking at too expensive of a car, and should go with something older or less expensive. We paid a lot for this old boring car but because it's so much lower than our initial budget, we don't mind. Hope this helps make someone's decision easier.

Those with the V6 RX: are you toying with the idea of selling due to gas price.

the general guess is that gas price will be like the current level of US$4.5 per gallon for awhile.

RX V6 fuel economy sucks ass (22- mpg), any of you thinking of quitting it ?

(2015 Lexus RX350) Is the engine overfilled based on the oil stick oil level? After starting the car it smells like burning oil with light blue cloudy smoke, the car also sat in the garage for 4 months and I noticed an oil leak on the ground.

Joined the club. Any recommended accessories to keep it clean?

Already had my PPF, Ceramic coat, and ceramic tint at a local detailing shop that specializes in it.

V6 Idle Vibration - Solutions?

Has anyone finally been able to resolve or atleast eliminate majority of the idle vibration on the 4th gen RX350?

I have been looking into possible solutions for months and I’m just hesitant to pull the trigger on replacing engine mounts on the car as a last resort.

My 2017 RX350 (104k kms) idles at like 580-610 rpms from what I can gage from BlueDriver. Its particularly annoying to deal with in stop and go traffic.

I’ve tried MAF sensor cleaning, throttle body cleaning, injectors, changing fuel type (87 to 91/93), putting in fuel injector cleaner (BG44k) and nothing has eliminated the vibrations yet so far.

Car otherwise is really enjoyable to drive. Hopefully someone has a solution they can recommend!

Wrong Key Glove?

This key glove came with my RX 450h+ as part of the preinstalled options. Did I receive the wrong one? The fit looks off…
