What Our Members Are Saying about the Available Features of the 2008--2011 Lexus RX

2008--2011 Lexus RX Available Features: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Most dealers buy them configured well but not over the top. Major decision was nav or no nav. Otherwise heated seats, sunroof, leather, tilt/tele steering whell, rain sensing wipers, HID headlamps are pretty much standard. see full Lexus RX review
2008	4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Useful automatic cargo door open/close. Numerous standard features even on basic models. Driver comfort controls. Personal settings programmed by dealer. see full Lexus RX review

2008--2011 Lexus RX Available Features: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 209-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD	The RX400h still has a cassette tape player - this also means there is no IPOD interface which is standard in many cars already (especially when the top of the line version is purchased). No keyless start/stop engine button. see full Lexus RX review
