Wonderful vehicle

Expensive, and overpriced, but a great vehicle. Very comfortable for highway travel on those vacation trips. Very quiet, and great sound system. Absolutely the best car we have ever owned.

Great car

This car is 12 years old and I have not had any issues with it. Great car ownership experience. Lexus IS well known for their service and well made products.

Long lasting (even if you're rough on it!)

My mother-in-law bought this car new when it first came out. I came into its life around a year ago when it was given to my husband. It already had at least 100k miles on it and now has around 220k. I've driven this car two states over twice, and we drive it all over a 50 mile radius practically every day. The only real issue it's ever had, other than normal wear and tear, was the power steering line somehow developed a hole about two months ago. Other than that, it's still running strong. This car has a ton of features that I love; automatic wipers, adaptive headlights, adjustable steering wheel, etc. Its roomy and sleek. In short, I love this car.

Excellent Reliability!!

We bought the 2005 RX330 4 yrs ago with 75k miles on it. It now has 150k and not one single issue. We just changed the timing belt at 110k as maintenance. The most comfortable car and drives/rides great!! Highly Recommend!!

Great suv

Recently bought a used 2005 Lexus rx330 and I am very happy with the way it performs. It is so quiet on the inside and the transmission shifts so smoothly. All controls are easy to reach. Great interior and ride.

Smooth, Luxury Ride

Amazing ride for a small family of 4. The comfort level of the interior is luxury like... It's beautiful. Nice interior room. Pretty good power. Fuel economy is very nice. Nice car to take on the road for power and comfort.

Best SUV ever!

I bought a 2005 RX 330 2WD Navigation and performance package 8 months ago with 98K mileage. Since then this SUV is great with no issue. Comfort! Ride quality! Navigation is awsome! Quiet!

Lexus or Lemon?

I purchased an RX330 with the hope that it would last for a while. However, all I got was a Lemon. At 65K mile the Water Pump broke, and I had to change the water pump, timing belt, drive belts, etc. This is not the end of the story - This Canadian made vehicle keeps breaking every month. The quality is worse than Ford or even GM - what a shame. I lost thousands in repair bills and Lexus will not take any responsibility for the low quality parts they are putting into these vehicles.

Reliability

I had never bought Lexus before and I dont regret it. I have driven mine for thousands of miles and still performs like new. IT is also very comfortable and it does feel like the luxury line. The Car Is quiet and smooth on the road. Be carefull not to go too fast because you won't notice it.
