The 2011 Lexus RX: before you buy

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2011 Lexus RX for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Here is the 2011 Lexus RX for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

What to check on the RX

NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 72 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, service brakes and air bags; have those parts checked.

What the specs mean

It uses the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid and front-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

A combined rating of 8.0 L/100 km works out to about 24 litres per 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $124 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Inside and out

As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work.

A longer test drive

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the RX for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Choosing the right one

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
