The Lexus is bland, but does everything well. It has good options , is quiet and will not cause any issues. The Toureg is a poor man's Porsche Cayyene. Does not really have the presence of an SUV unless in the V8 form.
Both cars not good, I assume you plan to get the older models, even resale value is low, reviews on both are average compared to Korean Cars. I recommend second hand Pajero/Sportage/Prado/xterra/...these cars will last you long and easier to maintain. For Toyota, since there is lots of people owning Toyota vehicles, servicing takes long time. Mitsubishi Pajero servicing is not bad, quick and good response. Don't know about the Korean car servicing here though. But most Woqod/Teyseer can do the basic servicing. Parts, are almost the same cost for Jap/kor cars. But Euro/American...you would need to reach deeper into your pocket for cost and maintenance!
of course the lexus RX350 its a Toyota after all everyone can work on it
What do you think ?
