1999 Lexus RX300 review from North America
"Lexus screwed up big time with RX300. Reading reports on the web the quality is subpar"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Transmission failed in the middle of the road in high traffic at 123000 miles. I have another car from Toyota that has 128000 miles and is still running fine.
General comments?
The car is under powered for its weight. It is sluggish and you have to put lot of pressure on the accelerator to get it going.
