2003 Lexus RX300 review from North America
"Comfortable ride, but Honda are more reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 30,000 miles the turn indicator began chirping only when signaling to the right.
A strange clicking whining noise groans from the vicinity of the glove box around 80,000 miles.
Timing belt was replaced at 90,000.
The control that regulates air flow ceased to function and had to be replaced.
Around 98,000 miles the door driver's side door stopped responding to the remote lock/unlock feature on the key.
Front driver's seat squeaks.
General comments?
From a comfort standpoint, it's roomy and rangy, and it rides like a car, not a truck.
Lots of leg room for back seat passengers.
