My 2024 Lexus RX500h is the worst car I’ve ever owned. It’s a constant pain to drive — always dinging and flashing alerts you cannot turn off. Passengers even struggle to get out of the vehicle because of how awkward the doors are designed.
On my current road trip, one of the dealer-supplied tires developed a bubble in the sidewall. I’ve now spent 200 miles and three days just trying to get it replaced. Lexus chose an absurdly obscure tire size: 235/50R21. I’ve called over 50 tire shops between here and Boise — and when I tell them the size, most literally laugh. None carry it, and every shop says it has to be special ordered with at least a two-day wait. To make matters worse, I can’t even find aftermarket rims that fit this car so I could switch to a more common tire size.
The spare is only a doughnut, good for about 50 miles. On a $70k vehicle, that’s unacceptable — it should come with a full-size spare. Right now, I’m stranded at Les Schwab in Miles City, Montana, waiting for AAA to flatbed my car to a city that might have a replacement tire.
If you live anywhere outside a major metro area, or if you ever plan on taking a road trip, avoid this vehicle. Lexus completely missed the mark with the RX500h.…
Lexus kept the RX DNA alive.

Lexus has always been about luxury, quiet and reliable cars with excellent customer service. That hasn’t changed in their 34 year history. The RX350 is quiet, smooth, had excellent fit and finish and offers a better value than German brands. It has a soft not great handling ride that makes you feel relaxed, lots of rear seat legroom for adults and peppy acceleration, not fast but plenty quick for the average Lexus buyer. Brakes are a tad mushy. It’s not for people who want a sporty SUV. Great car as always, Lexus did it again.…
