I was one of the very first EX35 buyers (Dec. 20, 2007). The biggest reasons I wanted one was for its sexy looks, its cool electronic gadgets, its abundance of power, its terrific handling, and its luxurious interior. But I also wanted a bit more practical car. The car that the EX35 replaced was a boring (but luxurious) 4-door Lexus sedan. My other car (which I still own) is a 2-seat convertible (not practical but one hell of a lot of fun! 
). So the ability to drop the rear seat backs and have more cargo room in the EX35 was also really attractive. And in the past 18 months, it has come in incredibly handy:• I've hauled some rather large boxes to or from the UPS center! I'm talking boxes that would NOT fit in the back seat or trunk of the Lexus.
• I've hauled home 8 foot pieces of lumber by guiding them out the passenger window and extended back over the lowered rear seats.
• I've hauled home unassembled furniture from Ikea. Enough boxes that it would have been an impossible fit in the Lexus.
• Most recently, I hauled home a 36" x 80" storm door from Lowes. It laid perfectly flat but, of course, stuck out the back. A couple of bungee cords held the rear cargo door down (and kept the door from sliding out while driving home).
What have you hauled in your EX35?
