From destroyer to aircraft carrier


Recommended Posts

After 81000 Km. of perfect service of my my 2014 GS 300h, I passed to the dark side of the force trading it for a MY 2016 RX 450h I found exactly in trim and colors I wanted, titanium grey with ivory seats and top (President?) trim.

A new adventure with Hybrids , and my first SUV; may be I am getting old? 🙂

First impressions are very positive, even if RX soul si different from GS.

Difference is great, even if both are wonderful cars. I have made too few km. to tell more, but in some way I find RX more comfy, may be because of 235/55 r20 tyres vs 235/40 r19 of GS. Another difference is in traction, GS is RWD while RX is substantially a FWD with a electrical "help" on rear wheels when it needs. V6 is a wonderful engine, and being RX younger there are some DAS more ,  Adaptive LED high lights very good (on GS I had only automatic LED high beam switch), and sun and moon roof is very nice to me too.

Congratulations Luigi, I'm certain you'll enjoy your RX.

I went from two IS250s to mine and I find it like driving a comfortable armchair in comparison.  My sore back prompted my move to a taller vehicle.

Maybe I'll progress to a 4th Gen RX in the future.  Keep us informed of your progress with your new set of wheels please.

Without doubts GS is excellent and sportier, and seats are very good, while driving RX is like relaxing in a living room sofa,  I already found easier to enter and exit the car.

The risk from who was a GS owner is to not like the SUV mission of RX. While GS 450h is really a fast car, RX is more a family car, much more space and relaxed driving its mission (not a problem to me, as it's faster than my GS 300h). Mpg are less than GS300h , but not dramatically different for what I see, and probably  the same of GS 450h respecting speed limits ;-).

We were recently going to upgrade to the 4RX from our 2014 3RX but it would of cost us nearly £20,000 to change which we thought was to much at present.

Congrats on your RX it looks very nice.

Rev counter can be set for all driving modes by menu, else is only for sport modes. As I see eco driving on HUD I decided to have counter in every mode.

Can it be done for GS or RX only?
