Lexus RX 300 (2003-) Review

Category: Sporting 4x4s 3.5 out of 5

Summary of the Lexus RX 300 (2003-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Quality, nice engine noise when you can hear it, very quiet, looks good; excellent Lexus reliability and customer service.

Drawbacks

Lacklustre performance, no diesel, auto 'box, float with coil springs, thump with air-suspension, not really an off-roader or towing vehicle.

Verdict

Scores well for refinement and specification, and a very good car for on-road use, but not particularly dynamic to drive, and not very versatile for something so large.

Review

Reliability and Quality5 out of 5

A Lexus virtue. Many owners find their cars faultless and the manufacturer's continued domination of customer satisfaction surveys is commendable. The fit and finish of interior materials is excellent and, unlike some Japanese-designed high-grade interiors, there are few hints of tackiness, wood trim aside. Switchgear also operates with a positive, high-quality feel.
