I have always been a Toyota backer, my last three cars all being Toyota. I have NEVER had any issues with Toyota's and the parts are always available. That lead me to move up to a Lexus RX300. I researched and did all my homework on this and thought ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 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 ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Absolutely beautiful vehicle. I love that it's on a car chassis. SO easy to park!
Cons: seat heater is either driver or driver/passenger, can't be just passenger.
The Bottom Line: The room of a large SUV, the ride of a car and the prestige of a Lexus.
Lexus is a wonderful car company! I have never had any problems with my vehicle, nor do I anticipate any. Roomy interior, sleek exterior, not too large, easy to handle and excellent in snowy and icy conditions. I could not ask for anything more! I love ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Excellent Reliability
Cons: See article for details
The Bottom Line: Although I named many problems, this car hits very high on reliability. That is the main reason I bought it.
When I went to look for a new car, I had a couple of cars in mind, but I eventually settled down to an Infiniti QX4, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Mercedes ML320 and the Lexus RX300. I immediately scratched the Jeep, after looking into reliability, and talking to ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: 4 wheel drive. tough. comfortable interior.
Cons: none.
The Bottom Line: It is an all-around great SUV that can pull 2 sea-doos or a shuttle-craft with ease.
The Lexus RX-300 is a great SUV that we take on all of our vacations. It is a pretty quiet ride unless we are using the great stereo system to listen to our favorite music using the radio or 6 CD changer. The seats are a comfortable leather and the ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Hot SUV, definitely gets you noticed
Cons: Excessively expensive due to cushy perks
The Bottom Line: If you want wow appeal and you've got the money go for this pricey SUV.
About 8 months before our lease was up with our 1997 Rav 4, my husband started researching on the web for the best SUV on the market. He found that the Lexus far out ranked everyone else from cabin space inside to gas mileage. I looked at the price tag ... read more

Pros: very comfortable, Lexus quality, smooth acceleration, drives like a sedan
Cons: haven't found any yet!
The Bottom Line: Performance of luxury of a Lexus sedan Supersized. HIGHLY recommended.
I bought this vehicle from Carmax six months ago. I had no intention of buying this vehicle (or any vehicle) when I went there, just stopped in to visit a client. One test drive and both myself and my wife were sold.

Author's Product Rating: 40 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 ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 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 ... read more

Pros: Best Value
Cons: You have to be willing to spend the money on the car and the gas.
Toyota, in my opinion, makes the best cars in the world for the money. I did quite a bit of research into the company and found out just how efficiently they run their company. The way Toyota solves problems in their vehicles is they have their engineers ... read more

It is obvious that Zippy hasn't left his trailer long enough to get even near a lexus. Tell me Mr. Zippy, what do think is the average number of times someone with an SUV goes off road. Oh, I'd guess about once every two or three years and that's ... read more
