2003 Lexus RX Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
This was the fifth and final year for production of the RX 300. It would reappear as the RX 330 for 2004. In this last offering, the only change from the previous year was a one-touch power moon roof as standard equipment.
The RX featured the same 3.0L V-6 throughout its run, making 220 horsepower and 222 lb.-ft. of torque. The luxury car/SUV crossover continued to offer drivers the Lexus experience with the optional security of all wheel drive. The RX was quick off the line and powerful through a range of speeds. More a car than an SUV, its ride was neither bouncy or floaty, it was easy to get in and out of, and it had a stable feeling through the turns.
The RX 300 had a posh interior which offered passengers comfort, convenience, and luxury. Not to mention a great sound system. It was roomy enough for five adults, but storage space was tight. Size and space were common complaints for owners, in addition to some difficulty operating the CD player and in-dash computer while driving.

For a car over twenty years old, it’s held up very well. This particular model does not have the back up camera, GPS, or external audio connections I’ve had in other cars, but has been a solid and comfortable ride nonetheless.May 23, 2023

A very good value, in very good shape, at a very reasonable price for its lower mileage. Will soon need two new front tiresAug 28, 2021

I like the performance, the low miles for the year the interior is in good shape, only issue I have with it… power locks don’t work and the rims are pealing off.. All in all is a good value.Aug 25, 2021

The car oversteers. Seet adjustment memory operation not logical.
Garage door opening system is underpowered. A cheep opener from discount stores works more reliably and from a further distance. My wife loves it.Jan 15, 2008

Like the starship enterprise, only more difficult to park
Can drive in any gear, drove the first 30 Km in fourth(did not realise I had engaged manual mode and left it in 4th)

Seriously, I got this handed down to me. It's not all that good compared to it's rivals. Just drive a Jeep Grand Cheorkee. Sure, I get 2 more MPH than a Jeep...but a Jeep just is awesome.Dec 31, 2007

Lexus 2004 RX300 SE AUTO rear power door
The door does not operate electrically -- does anyone know where in the car is the "Power Door Off Switch"? because maybe this has been operated during a garage maintenance period.

Brakes pedal goes to floor unless you pump them
The brake pedal goes to the floor like there is air in the lines. Had that checked a couple times.
