2000 Lexus RX300 review from North America
"Excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I haven't had anything go wrong with this car. The brakes started squelling last year, but the dealer said they were just dirty & the noise is now gone. I do make sure the car is serviced according to Lexus specs... important for any car.
General comments?
I love the car. It seems very well made & it doesn't drive like a typical SUV. The leather seats are very comfortable too. I haven't experienced any key problems that others have complained about (they might have fixed the problem for the 2001 model). I only have 44k miles so who knows how it will last in the future, but so far, it's been perfect.
