Overview & Reviews

The power rear hatch is now standard on all models, as is wood and leather trim for the shift knob and steering wheel. The power passenger seat is upgraded from four-way to eight-way while the optional navigation system gets Bluetooth capability and voice actuated control. Last year's standard six-disc CD changer moves to the options list, making way for a standard single-CD setup.

• Well-appointed interior, rides more like a sedan than an SUV, loaded with high-tech features, solid reputation for reliability, excellent dealer service.

• Less powerful than some of its competitors, soft ride makes for merely adequate handling in corners, no third-row seat option.

  Love IT! - 2005 Lexus RX 330
  By bcparish - June 13 - 1:40 pm

  This is the third Lexus I have purchased. They are always wonderful vehicles to own. I have never had any trouble with any of them and I have kept them from one to ten years. I love driving all of them. Thanks for making such great vehicles.

  I love this car - 2005 Lexus RX 330
  By Doreen M - May 24 - 12:30 am

  The Lexus 330 is a pleasure to drive and handles exceptionally in the snow. The ride is smooth, quiet and comfortable. It hold 5 people well but is most suited for four. Cargo is not huge, but holds enough for most trips. A cartop carrier takes care of big cargo loads. I love the engines power when I need to accelerate quickly.

  I owned a Lexus 300 put 100,000 miles on it in 3 years, could have driven many more years Im sure, But I like to get a new car every 3-4 years. I shopped every car ended up with an RX330 no regrets

  Overrated! - 2005 Lexus RX 330
  By Michael - April 25 - 9:33 am

  This car is overrated. We got it loaded, and that was a big mistake. All of the extra technology features, such as the bluetooth, the nav, voice recognition, and the DVD are all total junk. The bluetooth sounds terrible and is unusable. The voice recognition does not function. The nav is nearly impossible to operate--my $125 Garmin is better. The AC is not nearly strong enough for the weather in Austin which is actually not that hot compared to other parts of the south.

  Total dog - 2005 Lexus RX 330
  By goldie20 - April 8 - 11:37 am

  This car has been a dog since the day I got it 8 years ago. From the beginning, the car refused to accelerate. "Give it time to learn your driving habits," the dealership told me. Right. It has made an awful, grating, metallic noise every 10 starts or so right from the beginning. Dealership has been unable to diagnose why. Finally, a brake sensor has broken 3 times at a cost to replace of $300 each time. This on a car with 40K miles. I make it my mission to make sure no one I know ever buys a Lexus. What a disgrace.

  Review of LEXUS RX 330 - 2005 Lexus RX 330
  By Roxanne - March 19 - 7:43 am

  This is the third SUV (LEXUS) we have had since 2000. They keep improving each year. Nothing ever goes wrong with these cars although we admit that we do not drive them hard nor do we put a lot of miles on the vehicles. The major factor is that they are very safe vehicles along with all their luxery.

  Poor performance - 2005 Lexus RX 330
  By johntemp - March 6 - 10:33 am

  We bought this brand new and kept it only 7 months. In buying it my wife did not understand her desire for a car that actually went when you pressed the gas. After trying to get constant hesitations programmed out of the controller for our car we gave up and sold this nice but totally poor performance car for a BMW X5 which blows the Lexus away.

  Toms Lexus - 2005 Lexus RX 330
  By Thomas Merola - February 22 - 4:46 pm

  My RX 330 is probably the best car I have ever owned. The ride, and comfort is by far the best car on the road. I wish every member of my family could own one. Not only for the ride but the safety and dependability if offers.
