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.

  • Classy little car - 2005 Lexus RX 330

    The navigation system makes this car really fun to drive... It was difficult to trust at first, but its absolutely awesome. I can always get home.... and its a great feeling.

  • Upgrade from ES 330 - 2005 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    Weve had our eye on the RX since before we purchased the ES. We finally made the jump and couldnt be more happier about it. From the ease of stepping into a SUV (vs. a car) to the wonderful amenities such as the Navigation System & DVD entertainment system this vehicle is shear joy for the entire family. Our 8 year old daugther is looking forward to having it for her first car - well see about that.

  • Art on Wheels - 2005 Lexus RX 330

    I love this vehicle. It fits like a designer suit and is lots of fun to drive. Many SUVs drive like a truck. Not the Lexus RX 330. Its all about comfort and luxury. When I see it from a distance I have to pinch myself to realize that I really do own this piece of art on wheels. The RX 330 is one of the most beautiful vehicles on the road. I think Im in love.

    Little space if any under fronts seats for minor storage. Backs do not lay flat. These, are the only drawbacks that I have encountered.

  • My Favorite Car the RX330 - 2005 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    Have owned Jaguar Sedans, Mercedes, Cadillacs, and Lexus LS400. This is my favorite car of all time. Great mileage, comfortable to ride in, tall enough to see over the BIG SUVs. Only negative would probably be the quality of the sound system.

  • Its been 4 months - Still Happy! - 2005 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    Bought this new in January - 4 AWD, Love this car. You get used to the transmission lag, gas mileage is acceptable. Ive run the tank down to about 16 miles left in the tank and it only cost about $33 to fill it completely back up with CA gas prices- less than $10 bucks more than the Camry I used to own. Tried everything else but this is the category killer - Consumer Reports also names this their best pick. Braking is the best Ive ever seen and the navigation and rear back up camera are indespensible - they may seem like trivial expense items but are actually very very useful and helpful - youll use them everyday.

  • First time owner of a lexus - 2005 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    I have owned my Lexus RX330 for 2 years. I love it! I am a petite woman and the adjustable seat and steering wheel are WONDERFUL! It handles beautifully like a sedan. The backseat holds 3 adults comfortably. The automatic rear door lift is the greatest, especially with your hands full! I have had a few problems with the motors in my automatic windows, but the dealer has resolved most of those issues. I would highly recommend this car to anyone! I plan on keeping this vehicle for many years.

  • GS300 Replacement - 2005 Lexus RX 330
    By -

    Coming from a 98 GS300 (great car) to my first SUV may not be a fair comparison. The steering is not as precise. My 01 Dodge Caravan accelerates quieter. But I guess as far as SUVs go it is at the top of the heap. The quality is definitely there.
