1999 Lexus RX300 review from North America
"A bargain luxury SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The indicator light for the "drive" mode went out a month ago. Didn't fix it since it's just cosmetic.
The remote key does not work occasionally; have to unlock manually, remote then works. Would welcome any comment on the cause of this problem.
Noticeable wind and acceleration noise.
General comments?
I bought my rx300 used, but other than replacing the tires and general maintenance, have not encountered serious problems yet. Very comfortable ride, once you get used to the wind and acceleration noise.
