General comments?
Best car ever!!! Slow, but not a big deal.
For those who are afraid of the tranny failures don't buy into that. Most of the tranny issues occured because the owners had their rong type of fluid changed. RXs only work with one type of fluid, Type T-IV Automatic Transmission Fluid, and make sure you replace it every 30,000 miles, some of the owners haven't changed the fluid at all and when their RXs broke down,
they blamed on the manual "not require to change fluid under normal condition." Who knew
what they did to their RXs.lol!!!. Ask Toyota or Lexus dealer to have other fluids like brake, differential, steering,... change, too. I changed my tranny fluid at Toyota dealer for only 140 bucks (Yay!!!). You will be okay if you have your car service "properly." If you don't buy my story, go to www.autotrader.com and check out to see how many 150,000 miles RXs there are in U.S. More than those who have their RXs tranny issues. Good Luck and enjoy the car.
