I have 1,200 miles on my RX and have had it in for service 3 times to try to fix the tracking, alignment problem. The car will not drive down the road straight and stay driving straight as if the front and rear wheels are out of sync or camber. I have to constantly correct the car from drifting right and left. It's as though it responds to any and every imperfection or shift in the road and will drift off regardless of whether you have the wheel pointed straight. I cannot relax and cruise with this car and must keep my arms flexed and be ready for every unexpected shift in direction. Long drives are out of the question. I couldn't be more unhappy...

The car is a very good riding car. We have taken it on several trips and it cruises at highway speeds very comfortably. All our friends that ride in the back seats says it is a very comfortable riding car. The car also serves well when I have to carry larger objects that a regular sedan cannot handle. Dealer service has been excellent (South Bay Lexus)

I had been looking for a used SUV from a private seller, not wanting a car note, given the ridiculous state of used car prices from dealers these days. My very non-scientific way of figuring out what was worth considering (along with reading the great professional reviews here on Edmunds, thank you) was the fact that I kept seeing so many of these still on the road, which says a lot considering Atlanta traffic. Found my '03 RX 300 on FB this past October- 189k miles for $3700. I may be still in honeymoon mode, but this car has been everything I hoped for and more! Was very well-maintained; I think I am 3rd owner from being originally purchased new from a local Lexus dealership. Still drives like new, higher clearance making it so easy to get in and out of, and the kicker being that it is a luxury SUV-that runs on regular gas! Surprised that more reviewers have not commented on that. Toyota definitely put their best ideas and execution into this one. They make it easy to be loyal to their brand-as long as they keep putting out products that prove to have top quality for the consumer's needs and longstanding value at the forefront.

This vehicle is a pleasure to drive. The AWD is flawless, the car has plenty of power (for me), the ride is very smooth and quiet. I preferred this car's ride to the ES 300 sedan which I found floated to much. This car is an all around treat to drive. Good viewing all around from driver's seat.
Excellent Vehicle

This SUV/car is very fun to drive. It feels like a car yet gives you the advantages of an SUV. I have always felt that Lexus is overpriced. After owning one for almost a year, I understand why people are willing to pay a premium for these vehicles.
