    Runs and drives like new with 175k

    Purchased this car on a lease return in 2008. Have taken many road trips since then and the car is simply remarkable. After 10 years of ownership and 175k miles, it still rides and drives beautifully. One of the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned. I'm convinced it will reach 300k with just regular maintenance.

    A great all-season vehicle

    Purchased vehicle in 2008 with 30,000 miles. The vehicle (Nov. 2019) now has 230,000 miles on the odometer. The radiator and both rear struts were recently replaced this last summer. Steering rack has developed a bit of a hard turn this last fall; however, it is still very driveable after years and years of midwestern USA potholes. Runs extremely well on Michelin Defenders. Front struts were replaced at 150,000 miles. No engine issues so far. Transmission sometimes shifts difficult, depending on driving style that day. Overall, very reliable fifteen year old vehicle. This model has sunroof and AWD. Handles snow extremely well.

    Best car I have owned... so far!

    I bought my RX330 new, WITH ALL AMENITIES, have 186,000 miles on it and hope to keep it for 20,000 more miles at least! With routine maintenance, replacing tires and brake pads when needed, this car gets 21 mpg on highways and I have felt very safe traveling between my home in FL and one in MD. The interior is very comfortable, has everything conveniently located for driver and exterior retained its sleek look until Lexus upgraded 4-5 yrs ago. Personally, I do not like the newer “sleek” design. Reports indicate that the newer dashboard computer controls are also not user friendly. So if my 2005 RX 330 fails before Lexus upgrades again, I will go back to a Volvo until Lexus changes the angry dragon look of the 2020 SUV! Overall, this car has been worth every penny and according to mechanics is better to service than newer computerized models. Love this car! ( I was lucky to have had the cracked dashboard changed out by Lexus under warranty, although I heard many people had to sell cars rather than live with that flaw. Lexus stood behind that problem! Thanks, Lexus!)

    Best SUV for the Money.

    Great value. Owned this vechicle for over 13 years. All I ever spent was for routine maintenance and a new Battery. Just bought the same vehicle in a 2018 model.
