  My first Lexus - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By BJ9000 - December 31 - 2:00 am

  Very well proportioned vehicle and comfortable to drive. Nav system is adequate but not nearly as easy to use nor is it as intuitive as the voice activated nav system in the Honda Accord. Wind noise is very noticable but source of noise cannot be determined. My previous two vehicles had much less wind noise and each cost thirty thousand less (02 C230K and 03 Accord). The RX330 handles the notorious winter side roads of New Hampshire well without bottoming or excessive road noise.

  Gotten better but still needs tweeking - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By paintballer1 - December 1 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle drives very nice. The rear glass is a litle more slanted than my previous RX300 which makes it difficult for my dogs to be comfortable. Overall the vehicle can fill my peoples needs.

  Love/Hate - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By tuomala1 - October 7 - 2:00 am

  Overall I really like this car but it developed an annoying clunking noise on downshifts after about 5,000 miles. Lexus says this is normal for this car. If this type of problem would bother you, ask the dealer about it before you buy. If they dont acknowledge knowing anything about it, think twice or you may regret it later.

  No. Va. RX 330 - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Don in Va. - September 1 - 10:00 am

  The car is quiet, fast, and comfortable for an SUV. I have yet to find anything to complain about in the RX 330s bodywork, interior or engine. I do, however, have a complaint about the transmission. At very low speeds (common when commuting in the Washington DC area), the transmission seems to slip into a sort of nuetral. It does this with a pronounced clunk, and re-engages with another clunk. Three trips back to the dealer have not produced their acceptance that this is a problem. Hopefully they will acknowledge that this is not characteristic of a luxury SUV, nor is it symblomatic of Lexus reputation for quality and customer service.

  Not up to Par - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Pike - July 8 - 2:00 am

  This is my 4th new Lexus since 1990. Build quality is bad and not up to Lexus Standard. Transmission even with the re-program is worst I have driven. At 30 to 40 MPH gears change very rough. Based on the Lexus name and high rating from Consumer Report Lexus is not willing to admit a problem. Gas mileage is very sub par, and high wind noise from side view mirror and roof rack

  Day 2 Review - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Steve - June 5 - 4:00 am

  Downsized from LX470 due to longer commute to new job. Ive driven many of these as loaners when the the LX was getting scheduled maintenance. RX handling is light, tossable, but the ride quiet with smooth. A little more outside noise vs. LX. Acceleration is brisk and so much easier on the gas too.

  GREAT TECHNOLOGY POOR TRANSMISSION - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By ed brundage - December 2 - 10:00 am

  BEAUTIFUL CAR, GREAT RIDE, QUIET, BUT VERY POORLY DESIGNED TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. THE BEST LEXUS MECHANIC AT DEALER SAYS SHIFTING CAN NOT BE IMPROVED. A FACTORY FIX TSB 005-03, WAS INTENDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM - DONT BELIEVE IT. DEALER SAYS OTHER PROBLEMS SUCH AS RIGHT MIRROR NOT DROPPING ENOUGH IN REVESE AND AIR LEAK AT DRIVERS DOOR "NORMAL" - SMALL BUT ANNOYING.

  RX330 Test Drive - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By Paul Colburn - November 11 - 10:00 am

  Very noisy engine - first thing i noticed - currently have a LX470 going off lease. Looks to me like reactive marketing to BMW market penetration (although I hav enot drive x5 as a comparison)

  RX rattles - 2004 Lexus RX 330
  By khoffman - October 27 - 11:53 pm

  My RX has rattled since day one. I have had it in several times for rattles in the back seat, the door and the glove box. I love the way it drives and rides. The quality of the basic stereo is only fair. The CD player is poorer than the radio. I have had two parts replaced on my back hatch door. My dealer has given me great service and Lexus has fixed everything, but I have had my car worked on too many times!
