2003 Lexus RX300 SEL review from UK and Ireland
"Outstanding"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has been absolutely first class.
We have not suffered any problems with the gearbox or gear change and at 20K miles the Bridgestone tyres are only half worn.
The only grumble has been superficial rust on the bonnet (replaced with no quibble) and the paint on the alloys peeling so all 4 were replaced.. again no grumbles.
And if you don't use it for 2/3 weeks and it has a tracker you will find the battery is flat when you want to start it... a pain.
General comments?
It has exceeded all our expectations.
Quiet and smooth and a pleasure to drive.
For us the ride is perfect, but we don't off road.
Sat Nav is a bit dated and the cabin could do with a little bit of an uplift, but that's nothing. Go for it!
