This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Well-appointed interior, rides more like a sedan than an SUV, loaded with high-tech features, solid reputation for reliability, excellent dealer service.
Cons:
  • Less powerful than some of its competitors, soft ride makes for merely adequate handling in corners, no third-row seat option.

  • My Favorite Car ever!!! - 2005 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    I shopped til I dropped on this one. I was trading in my Chrysler Van for a more gas conservative car, and in general a smaller car. It was my first Lexus, and I am now a permanent Lexus owner forever. I am so happy with the RX 330, gas mileage is better than posted on car! City I average 20.5 MPG, highway easy 25MPG plus. The 18" wheels are a must in this car. I believe with that the car has a smoother ride. Love the nav sys, along with Bluetooth, once figured out and set up, very easy to use. Love it, Love it. BTW~I am the pickiest of pickiest buyer. This is the first car I have bought and not had to return to the dealer for anything yet... go buy one..

    This my 2nd Lexus SUV...We had a 2001. The latest edition 2005 is a sound performer & exudes quality with contemporary design. Lexus service is 2nd to none. Were looking forward to ongoing reliability of this Lexus product...

  • Must-buy - 2005 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    I did my homework before purchasing an SUV. I drove the VW Touareg, the Infiniti FX35/45, the Volvo XC90, the BMW X3, and the Mercedes ML350. I ended up buying the Lexus RX 330 and I couldnt be happier. The drive is incredibly smooth, the interior is perfectly equipped without having too much clutter, and the price is incredible. I cant recommend this car more. Its versatile, roomy, and impressive to drive.

    Toyota/Lexus makes the best vehicles ever. The performance, reliability and service are in a class that no other auto maker can possibly compete with. I have an RX 330 that has 35,000 miles on it that still performs like its brand new. I purchased a new Toyota Land Cruiser in 02 that presently has 150,000 miles on it and also feels like it is still new. I have never held on to a car that has mileage past 100,000. I will never purchase any other brand!!

    This is my 4th Lexus RX and they just keep making them better with each model. The new RX330 has comfort and styling while maintaining safety to the highest level.

    This vehicle is smooth and quiet. Seats are very comfy. I took long trip, averaged 26 miles per gallon at 75 mph. I have had no problems with car at 9000 miles. Very satisfied with vehicle.

  • Great car... Love it! - 2005 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    I had an RX 300 for 4 years and did not think it could get any better. MY RX 330 is tremendous. I will never have a car without AWD and a GPS system. Cant recommend Lexus enough for quality, comfort, reliability and service. The Lexus buying experience is unique as they truly value your business.

  • Love my rx330! - 2005 Lexus RX 330

    Im 17 and just bought my second car, and I love it. The only complaint is the power rear door.. Maybe I just dont understand it but the key fob button and the button the dash only work sometimes. Other times Itll try to open then just close. Its fun to drive, has some get up and go when you want it. Gas mileage is great, I average 23-24 in the city, 22 maybe in heavy stop and go. I hate when something raddles or shakes and this car is very solid. Even with the bass up and windows down no annoying noises! Very clean, classy, but fun car. Also I havent driven many cars but the few I have drove awful in the rain. This Lexus takes puddles better than my truck on 35s...

    The RX 330 is fun to drive, very comfortable, and it drives like a car. The interior is beautiful, and the features are endless. The only complaints I have are; not having a chime when the fuel is low, and not having a coin holder accessible to the driver. The only problem has been the power lift gate motor. Lexus replaced immediately with no problems since. Maintainence is expensive, however the oil only needs to be changed every 5,000 miles. My next vehicle will most likely be the same, but newer.

  • Nice Vehicle - 2005 Lexus RX 330

    My RX 330 is a nice vehicle wich receives comments where ever I go. It is comfortable, drives well, and luxurious. All in all, I am very pleased.
