The Car Exam Quick Quiz #5: The 2010 Lexus RX 350




Good Grades: Superb interior, nice exterior styling, silky-smooth and strong V6 3.5 liter, 275 horsepower engine/six-speed automatic transmission combination, terrific ride, good braking, good interior room and stereo system.
Bad Grades: It uses premium fuel--not good, considering gas prices are on the rise again.
Final Grade: The Lexus RX 350 is (by far) my favorite luxury CUV so far. It's best for daily driving--if you you just want a stress-free, easy driving experience. If you want a more exciting, connected driving experience--go with the Mercedes ML 350--it's the sportiest CUV I've driven so far (look for it in an upcoming review soon). The RX 350 stays true to the Lexus formula--which isn't a bad thing. Hopefully, Toyota's woes will not expand to the RX 350 line--if they do, then THAT would be a bad thing. The Car Exam Grade: A
