Floats on the road softly with the factory tires.
I absolutely love my Lexus! It is an SUV that rides smooth like a car. Not bouncy like some other SUVs. I have over 150,000 miles on it and it still drives beautifully. The leather seats are still very comfortable. My cars performance is still great. I do have an issue with the air/heat combo, behind the dashboard the little flippers in there are wearing and sometimes with air on it makes little noises. I also have an issue now with two of the door locks not working with the key fob.

It is a great family car. I does well on trips and is very reliable.
I love the fact that the driver seat sits higher and it is very roomy. I do not like how much gas it runs through. I like the way it drives and the ability to fit the whole family comfortable.

It has been incredibly reliable for me and family for the last five years.
My vehicle is getting older so there is cosmetic damage. I wish I could keep the car forever.

It needs some body work due to minor abrasions. Best car I've ever owned.....New or used.
I like reliability, safety, resale value, projected lifetime @ 250k miles, dealer and reps, facilities, reputation, features. Only dislikes are air conditioning (Replaced through extended warranty) and service costs (High). No complaints after 14 years (Purchased 2004 as pre-owned/Certified). ,

The one most important thing others should know about my car is that it's mine
My vehicle is great. I like everything about it except for that it's old. It has six CDs. I am tired.

Auto is too old and the cost of repairs is way too high.
My Lexus is starting to have major breakdowns. Ac/heat broken, needs tires again, brakes and shocks are shot, electric window motor switches not working.

My car ? Is a dream; love it.
No problems, drives like a dream, would not trade it, good gas mileage, like the small SUV, feel rich when driving it, I have had this car for a long time and it seems like it is still new, the only thing I wish I had was Bluetooth and a built in hands free phone.

My favorite car. Back seat so comfortable, passengers always fall asleep..
Love the back seat. It is very comfortable for people to sleep. Great car design, comfortable to be in and drive. It has an elegant front panel. I truly feel that I am in a luxury car whenever I am driving it. Rarely gave me any service problems throughout the years. I love it so much that I chose to drive the Lexus instead of the much newer infinity. It has only (2) negatives, the beverage holder could have been designed better and the turning radius is wider than my infinity.

3 star review of the 2001 Lexus rx 300.
This was a great car in the beginning when we first purchased it. The comfort of the car is and always was great. Some problems inside the car is the ac. Every so often the ac will go out and will need to be turned off then on again. Reliability for the car is always great. I can always get from point a to point b safely. The only troubles about the handling on the car is a bit annoying. This is because the car will always take off slow and not speed up quick enough. A second problem is that when breaking it always seems a bit delayed. Besides those things the car is very reliable.

Great performance, only usual required maintenance.
I love my vehicle. It has lasted me 17 years with on maintenance performed. It still looks great and the leather interior looks brand new. The luxury and performance are beyond my expectations.

It is so comfortable and luxurious!
The sensors that determine fuel mileage goes bad. Had to replace. Cost $500. No other issues. Leather heated seats are great. Comfortable, smooth ride. Moonroof.

on July 24, 2020
I absolutely love the moonroof and it's safe for you and your family
I've had this car for the past 10+ years with no trouble. I absolutely love the how reliable and easy to drive. The gas for the car is very inexpensive, I also love the moonroof and the tape conveyable tape audio player. When driving the car it's safe and very reliable.

Cannot get rid of my Lexus; luv it.
I love this car. It first took a little getting used to the short turn radius, but I absolutely fell in love with the car. It is the most comfortable to sit in. The leather seats are awesome, more comfortable than any other I have sat in. The sound system is great, the cockpit is very comfortable and ergonomic. It has a sun and moon roof plus a roof rack that does not tower over the car. It drives very smoothly with not much outside noise. It had always been very reliable and I did not have any issues with the car until it turned about 15 years old. At that point I had to replace the transmission. Now there have been sporadic little issues based on the car's age. Even with that, it is still fine because the repairs are less than a new car payment.

Cassettes are coming back.
I love my car. Even though it is old, it has really held up over the past years. I love the cassette player that it has, it is so much fun to get out me and my siblings old cassettes before a long car ride. I do not know if this is inherent to the car but there are also some technical issues: the battery in my car tends to get corroded, the engine and "your lights/blinkers do not work" lights come on with no issues. But my car has passed inspection since I got it 3 years ago and has held up in two minor accidents. Overall this car is very reliable and safe.

Reliable, well put together and easy to drive.
Great vehicle very little problems. The passenger side locks do not work and a problem with the heater ac transfer box. Things that can get fixed. Good gas mileage and reliable and long trips. Looking to get a newer model maybe a hybrid. Would but again.
Danielle P
on December 19, 2019
The gas mileage on this suv is one of the worst to be honest. I have had other vehicles that were much larger. Not one of those vehicles took as much gas as this Lexus has for me. It's a beautiful car but make sure to be ready to pay out money in gas more than anything.
I love the leather seating as it can get very hot in Florida and the seat don't make it worse during summers. The seats stay pretty cool. I also like the set up of how they designed the car and it's different features. I really dislike how it sounds like a toy. The car sounds like a bad performing hybrid.
Sandra L
on December 13, 2019
Both safety and performance are wonderful.
Luxury. Long lasting with great performance. It drives beautifully and I feel very safe driving it. I have absolutely no complaints about my car. Considering that it is 17 years old and still looks and runs great I have to say I love my car.

It drives around handles great. It gets good gas mileage for what it is.
It's not massive like a lot of SUVs which I love! It handles extremely well and runs great. My only complaint is that it doesn't have as much power as I am used to.
Ashley H

I have wolves painted on each side
Great car but expensive parts! Has been very reliable, it's a 2001 with only 113 thousand miles on it its a V6 engine, leather seats, sunroof, automatic, lots of space, seats fold down. Awesome radio. I drive it everyday. Needs brakes fixed, a tail light is out, slow leak in two tires.

Reliable and comfortable to drive.
I have never had an issue with my car. I've replaced the timing belt, brakes, rotors and battery mainly just because it has over 200k miles. As long as you maintain it should run forever. I've had no issues with surprises. It's never overheated. I've also done regular oil changes

Spacious, well-appointed interior in Lexus RX
I really enjoy my Lexus. The interior is extremely spacious. The backseat is very roomy and provides passengers plenty of legroom. I'm a new parent, so the backseat space also comes in handy for a baby car seat. The interior is also well-appointed and despite the age of my car (almost 20 years), I feel like I'm driving a modern vehicle. We've had very few maintenance issues, but when something arises, the warning lights are easy to detect and very specific.

It's very dependable, I've almost never had a problem.
It is very nice and reliable. I enjoy the built in navigation gps and 6 disc CD changer. It is comfortable but wish it was a bit bigger. Good on gas.
Nicki D

Sunroof, runs amazing, one of the best makes that I can think of.
All in all it has been an excellent car, runs well, actually have never had a problem with it, never had to get a new battery, just have to keep the oil changed like with any other vehicle and keep maintenance up on it like anything else and it will last a lifetime.

Comfort and reliability of the rv 300.
My SUV is perfect for my everyday driving and would be comfortable in long trips. There is plenty of room for my large dogs to fit comfortably but the vehicle is not too large for me to handle in heavy traffic. As with most Toyota or Lexus vehicles, it was built to last.

Lexus vehicles maintain their value and are very reliable.
This vehicle has a very comfortable ride. Right now the "Check Engine" light is on due to a fuel efficiency sensor. I have been advised by several mechanics (including one who specializes in Lexus) that the repair is one that I should postpone. The vehicle's current gas mileage is great! I also appreciate that Lexus vehicles come with a full-size spare instead of a donut.
Shannon H
on July 14, 2019
It is roomy and it has held up well after all these years.
I love how smooth my lexus rides. It is easy to drive. I also think it sits comfortably. I do not like that anything wrong can make the check engine light come on.

The vehicle of a lifetime.
This vehicle drives very smoothly. It comes complete with four wheel drive, an interactive screen display connected to the radio, heated seats, and much more. It is very spacious and would be a perfect vehicle for any family that has kids, or multiple persons to transport around. It also has built in surround sound speakers above the dashboard. All in all, this vehicle is very amazing.

Old Lexus runs like new. Super reliable car, I will drive it until the wheels fall off.
My car is super reliable. 17 years going strong. The only downside is the electrical problems are beginning to happen with the windows and doors.

18 year old car but the engine and drivetrain are perfect.the car is starting to break down; hvac-electric motors, interior- no complaints.

Heated seats are the best!
It is very reliable and easy maintenance. I haven't had any major issues besides normal wear and tear. I regularly drive it 20k miles a year and routine maintenance keeps it going strong. I love the heated seats in the winter and the four wheel drive comes in handy too.

Sunroof, leather seats, and seat heaters
I've had very minor problems that have been quick and easy to fix myself. Good gas mileage. Easy to get in and out of. Perfect for a small family and for use for work related projects. Moving. Mechanics and the like. I recommend this car for anyone looking for safe and dependable

It is very dependable and has a smooth ride.
Love the gas mileage and cargo space in the back and style and look of it.. Do not like that its cramped for 2 adults and a car seat in the back seat.

Transmission issues with the 'rx 300'
Over all my Lexus rx300 has had me put more money into it then it really was ever even worth in total. Unfortunately it is irreversible. My Lexus has had a completely new engine plus a brand new transmission. And at times it still feel iffy to me at best. Other times it randomly feels like a strong vehicle. It's very weird. The transmission issue came about after simply parking my car. I went to back out the parking spot and my shifter wouldn't go into reverse. Over a grand later it could reverse again.
Maria M

Gorgeous, family friendly and comfortable.
Great car, runs beautifully and everything was virtually new when I bought it. The ac has some sound issues and the belts need securing more often than other cars. Needs a lot of gas in comparison to my old car because it is bigger and gets worse mileage. Safe and comfortable. Love it.

Lexus: You cannot go wrong!
I have owned my Lexus for 4 yrs now with no major issues, just regular maintenance items. It is one of the two cars I have owned, that is reliable, good on gas and I can carry 5 adults comfortably. My next vehicle will definitely be a Lexus SUV as well

Comfy and reliable almost perfect.
The performance is great. Family friendly car. Lots of space inside the vehicle. Very reliable and comfortable. If you enjoy driving a semi tall car, this is the one. There’s not many problems unless you do not know how to maintenance it like getting the oil changed, changing the tires ever so often.
Madison Z
on December 22, 2018
My vehicle is a large car and I like that but there are some disadvantages
It has problems with the ac and cooling down such a big car. Also the o2 sensors get messed up to easily and the only way to fix is rip up the carpet on the drivers side underneath the seat. Gas to mile ratio is not good. The windows will stop working almost immediately.
Cynthia O

It was a great choice for me - affordable luxury and outstanding reliability.
I love my Lexus for many reasons. It is very comfortable and roomy. The leather seats make it easy to slide into and out of the vehicle. The pick up is great and the fuel economy is good. And best of all, nothing major has ever gone wrong with it. If the RX will be in the service department for any length of time, the dealership provides me with a loaner - a new RX!
Jenna B

It is a fun color. It definitely screams luxury.
I really like my car. My car is getting pretty old at this point though. The interior is fabulous. Leather seats, GPS, spacious. The exterior is starting to rust. In the past few years I have had to get a lot of service on my car, including a new engine. I am worried that my car might not make it through the Minnesota winter without trouble. We shall see.

Built to last! This car has been around the block and back and is still going strong with nearly 300,000 miles. Still looks new! The paint Lexus uses is amazing!!!
Such a well built vehicle! We have almost 300,000 miles on it. We did, however, have to put a new transmission it it. It is a smooth riding vehicle. The leather seats are even still in good shape. The paint looks brand new!

It is my favorite car of any I have ever had.
It looks great; gets good gas mileage; looks cute on the road; looks modern even though it is older it drives like a dream; it rides very well and is comfortable; I like it in the city and on the road. It is a black car and that is quite popular and it is the best car I have ever had.
