Having just bought my first Lexus and being a RX300 SE-L, i have to say the car is fantastic. We were on the look out for a larger car as we are expecting a baby, i never wanted a large 4x4 until i saw this car. we looked at the usual X5 and merc but all failed to meet the spec delivered by the RX, it has everything you need and more. it probably wont be the best off road but who actually takes their X5 off road unless being chased by the police (well most are owned by drug dealers). the ride is fantastic and the comfort level amazing. i traded in a porsche which was like a go-kart after ... more

The RX300 has recently been replaced by the RX350 (same car with a new 3.5L engine, a better stereo, Sat Nav & a couple of other minor changes). I bougth my RX last July & can honestly say that it's best car that I've ever had despite it only doing 20 mpg. We looked at other large (German) 4x4s before we decided to buy & they paled into insignificance when compared £ for £ with the Lexus. You can find many sites on the internet that will tell you how good Lexi (is that the plural?) are but a couple of tips from me - * If you buy one, get the Sat Nav option as it is abosulte perfection despite ... more
