I did a lot of research on SUVs, and I kept coming back to the RX 300. I think it's the best looking, and the reviews sang high praise. So we have had this one about 3 months and I LOVE it! And what's even better is we're getting 20-26 MPG! We both drive moderately and the MPG shows. Will probably buy another RX after this one.

I bought it new in 2002 for my wife and she's loved it more than any other vehicle. It's easy to drive, very quiet, and comfortable to ride in; even long drives. Lexus did a great job on the fit and finish - it still looks almost new. We've owned it for 7 years and it still has the original battery and wipers on it. We've changed the tires only once. I would recommend it to anyone; except families of five or more - a bit small.

The RX 300.

Steering SUCKS, Car has the ever so FAMOUS Glove box rattle, and some other noises that just aren't worthy of the 44K price tag (out the door.)The goodyear Intergerity Tires Look LIKE and are CRAPPY. The car rides very nice, is pretty quite, but has developed a front end Squeak that seemingly cannot be fixed @ 22K miles. It has been a good car, but the V6 LACKS the power that can be purchased elsewhere for the +40K we paid. IE, INFINITY, JEEP, Mercury! We like the car but it is ?able @ 44K.

I am thinking buying a new Lexus RX. I have had my 2002 RX since Oct 2002. I've been the only owner and driver and it has been the best purchase I made. People often downplay the car b/c of what is perceived as a high price, but some people have had to buy a vehicle twice in the time period I have had this one. Small minor issues and routine maintenance has been the only thing I've done to it. I think I'm a Lexus for life girl.

Very comfortable, smooth and quiet ride but very poor turning radius. I love driving this car--it feels like I have 'arrived'!
