2004 Lexus RX 330 - AWD
Pros: look
Cons: poor paint quality
Advice: don't buy one.
Drove the car for one week, and scratches all over. Not driven in rain or snow--'the wind causes scratches'. I will never buy a Lexus again. Paint is defective, and Lexus does not want to admit it. -
2004 Lexus RX 330 - FWD
Pros: The shape of the SUV.
Cons: The shell of the SUV, poor craftmanship.
Advice: Buy another car, it's not worth the price.
The vehicle is noisy on the highway, the sunroof rattles and the transmission is very poor. I have found myself sitting in the middle of the road because it decided to stop right there and not restart. The plastic shell has the poorest paint job, resulting in multiple chips in the body work. You can use a cardboard to cut right through the paint. The windshield washer dispenser freezes in cold weather. It scared me stiff once when I found myself on the highway with nothing to clean salt water splashes of passing motorists off my windshield. I had to feel my way to my destination even though I was in a warm car. -
2004 Lexus RX 330 - FWD
Pros: I cant recall one
Cons: The quaility of the vehicle and construction materials
Advice: To drive a Volvo XC90 and pull them side by side and do your own comparison! BMW make great cars but they do not have the SUV figured out yet, its been a long time too.
It shows that Lexus has taken a turn towards their beginning in the USA, they are having us pay for their poor economy with inferior workmanship and lower quaility product. The Lexus RX330 is placed on a Camary frame with flashy interior wood inlays and just plain poor quality over the life of the car. Its body, frame and parts are not rugged and sturdy (look under the vehicle for yourself) Driving it allowed allot of exterior road noise into the vehicle. I am at 6000 feet of altitude and the motor had to stain with high RPMS to accomplish a hill. First impreesion is flashy but look beyond, I talked with several mechanics and just to do a brake job will cost you $1,200.00 (non dealer) every 20k to 25k. Its not a Lexus that we all know! Bottom line the vehicle is worth about 27K not 41K ! It a glorified Camary with a bug shell. -
2004 Lexus RX 330 - FWD
Pros: Navigation with Rear camera
Cons: N/A
Advice: Just Go for it.
I can proudly say that I have made the right decision. I was about to buy X5 but before closing the deal on it I went to Lexus dealer and man o man I just loved the ride of it. I have the Performance package in my RX and it is just great to have. One of the cool feature of Perfomance package is the adjustment of the vehicle height with speed, the height automaticaaly goes down when the speed is over 80MPH.........(BTW I don't drive that fast, I was checking whether that feature really works or not..... lol)
