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.
