Lexus RX reviews
Total 6 Lexus RX owner reviews

Pros: A really good car. It has more than justified its price. Rust-free bodywork. Gear changes seamlessly, roomy interior. Powerful engine
Requires little investment, just the obvious things like brakes and regular maintenance.
Cons: Eats much more on the motorway than in the city. Heavy, can slip on sharp bends.
