Headlight problem

The car is otherwise excellent with one major problem: because of the brightness of the high intensity headlights, they level off at a low level, and the top half of your field of vision is very dark (otherwise other drivers will feel blinded). Very evident driving in the hills or on a freeway when there is very little traffic. Depending on the steepness of the road, may not see more than 25 feet in front of you. Lexus told me it is a known problem with this model in particular but don't know there's much they can do. I'd be interested in whether others have had this problem or ideas where to research it.

GS300 Replacement

Coming from a '98 GS300 (great car) to my first SUV may not be a fair comparison. The steering is not as precise. My '01 Dodge Caravan accelerates quieter. But I guess as far as SUV's go it is at the top of the heap. The quality is definitely there.

More than we expected

My wife and I shopped around the top brand SUV's and decided on the RX330. We have no complaints whatsover about this car after a month of ownership. The ride, the comfort, the looks, the navigation and stereo are more than we expected.

It's a Hit

The ride is smooth and quiet. The engine has sufficient pickup for freeway entrances. The interior is well appointed. My wife loves the car and that is a good thing since this is her car.
