96K miles and trans is shot. power door locks do not work, power window works sporadically, had numerous check engine light issues, replaced sensors many times, dash light went out, steering wheel squeaks, these "luxury" cars will nickel and dime you to death, Never had so many problems with a non-luxury car.

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.

This SUV is more about looks and dependability versus comfort and roominess. We (a family of 4) feel crowded in ours. Two car seats, a diaper bag, book bag, a gym bag, a stroller in back, plus 2 adults make this SUV feel very confined. If the adults have the seats adjusted to perfect comfort levels, then the kids can barely get in the back seat. Plus, there is only one cup holder, low to the ground in the back that the kids fight over, if and when they can reach it from there car seats.

A pleasure to drive! Very smooth & quiet ride. I test-drove and researched luxury suv's thoroughly and this one is best in overall value for the price.

206K miles still running strong

Replaced the original Denso Alternator at 206k just a week ago. Replaced lifetime original transmission filter with 1 of 2 proven replacements at 175k. Aside from the regular scheduled maintenance that is needed nothing else has been replaced but some light bulbs at high miles. Exceptional build quality in my 2003. The antenna always breaks and its not worth fixing just use the CD player. The leather quality is great, and the VSC all wheel drive is reliable in rainy conditions and ice/snow. Easy to change fluids and service yourself. HID lights look great with this older generation, and you cant tell it apart from a early gen 350. Very happy, and going to use this car until her last mile.
