2005 Lexus RX 330 Review (continued)
Add your own review or comments

Summary

The RX 330 provides a smooth ride, a plush and innovative interior, responsive power, and the confidence of optional all-wheel drive in winter weather. It rides like a car but offers a lot more room. The Lexus reputation for quality and reliability and responsive dealers add considerably to its appeal.

This is my 2nd Lexus. Overall excellent vehicle, typical Lexus high quality. Easy to read dash, radio, overall controls excellent. Rear back-up camera is excellent. Though i would suggest for better gas mileage, and more horsepower.

I really love my new RX 330 in almost every way. Auto Rear Door is handy with packages; Style is nice; Music system is good; Interior design is nice But drivers side could use more leg room. One of the most beautiful vehicles on the road.
