Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Comfort, quality, durability. Excellent value, despite higher price
Cons: Large turning radius
The Bottom Line: Absolutely reliable vehicle that happens to be stylish, quiet, powerful, and very capable
Update! Sadly, I just sold this vehicle after 5 years of trouble-free ownership. I needed more space, and so moved up to a full size SUV. I cannot recommend this car enough, and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you can live with it's con, the ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Comfortable ride
Cons: The typical SUV cons
The Bottom Line: It's a good SUV series if you really want a luxury SUV without having to pay European import prices for future maintenance.
My family was probably one of the first to buy the then-new 1999 RX300 back in September of 1998. I remember my father saying how people were always asking him what kind of car this was. And it is a pretty svelte looking vehicle as far as SUVs are...

Pros: Super comfortable, easy maneuvering, accessible CD-changer
Cons: Could use more power
Are you looking for the feel of a luxury sedan and the roominess and safety of a SUV? The Lexus RX 300 is for you.
We were expecting our first baby and needed something more practical than the coupe and sports car we had. We could either go...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Lexus quality, safety, quiet, luxurious, car-like ride
Cons: Eggmobile looks, not much bigger than a car, pricey, jacked-up Camry for $10k more
The Bottom Line: This vehicle is great at what it does, but do you really need an SUV if you're buying one this size? There are also more affordable choices out there.
When my father, who already owned a Lexus GS 300, announced that he had purchased a Lexus RX 300, I was a bit surprised. He'd always driven a Chevy pickup and the RX 300 certainly was a step in a different direction for him.
He wanted...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Excellent quality and ergonomics
Cons: Wind noise and rear liftgate
The Bottom Line: Not the top rated Luxury SUV for no reason. It's an excellent vehicle and good alternative to a minivan, but definitely not a replacement.
I've had this car for four months now and I have only high remarks for this vehicle. I bought it from a friend whose lease was expiring, so the price was right. It had 43000 miles on it.
The model I have is the AWD version, with leather...

Pros: Great value. Car-like ride and feel. Great interior. Smooth and Quiet.
Cons: A bit on the pricey side, but still a great value.
If you have had the chance to read my other reviews, you will know that my ex-boyfriend had a '99 Lexus RX300. Its not the most expensive, nor the largest, nor the flashiest of all Sport Utility Vehicles, but it does have an excellent balance of all...

Pros: Luxury car ride and handling. Exceptional service.
Cons: On the pricey side.
When you are looking for a car in this catgory you find yourself visiting the Lexus and MB showrooms. I did both and eventually settled on the Lexus, though our second car is a Mercedes C class that has performed more than satisfactorily for the past 3...

Pros: The best total performer in its class
Cons: Stay off the rugged trail in this vehicle
OK, I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't looking forward to joining the SUV stampede. When we discovered we were having a happy addition to the family, I knew something was going to change in the garage. We owned to fun convertibles: Jeep Wrangler...

Pros: Built Solid, Rides Great

I have enjoyed my RX300 for two years now. I was the first on my block to get one! Several reside in the garages on my block after many of my neighbors liked what they saw in my driveway. Even other manufactures liked what they saw in the Lexus and have...

Pros: Very comfortable, fast, quite, smooth, awesome audio system
Cons: space for only 5 people
If you want a new car, I have no reason to tell you why you shouldn't buy the Lexus RX 300, but I do have many reasons why I think you should buy it.
It's a Lexus. It will cost you less than $40,000 which isn't much for a Lexus. It is a good...

Pros: Excellent Ride, Ergonomics, Style
Cons: Poor turning radius, Ultra thin paint on the bumper.
My wife and I went looking for a SUV in the spring. We purchased the Lexus in May. Our other car is a BMW convertible. Since we live in a relatively warm area, southern Virginia, we wanted to forgo the 4WD version for a 2WD (Front) version instead....

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Luxury car ride and feel, room for 5 adults comfortably, and that cool screen in the dash
Cons: It gets dirty, Lexus wasn't having a 2 for 1 sale
I have never really been a fan of SUV's and still am not a big fan of their styling or handling. However the first time I laid eyes on the RX300 I knew I wanted one.
When I was 16 I had a Chevy Camaro, when I turned 19 I got a Pontiac...

Pros: Fit and finish, luxury features, silky smooth engine, stock stereo, safety features, Lexus service and customer satisfaction
Cons: Smooth exterior lines can sometimes be mistaken for a minivan
I have to admit I was one of the first out of the gate to purchase the new Lexus RX300. It's silky smooth engine and fine fit and finish are up to traditional Lexus standards.
Although Lexus may tell you otherwise, this car shares many...

Pros: Nice blend of utility and comfort.

When my wife and I finally accepted that our old 4WD minivan was on its last few miles, we decided to explore the world of SUVs. After test driving everything from a Jeep Wrangler to a Chevy Suburban, we were dismayed at their lack of comfort, economy...

Pros: Compact yet roomy
Cons: small gas tank
I own a 1999 Lexus RX 300 and I love it. I purchased this vehicle because I am self employed and I entertain clients often. I was previously driving a Toyota Tercel and did not like the small business look it gave me when interfacing with my customers. I...
