| Price of the Lexus RX: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic FWD | Best value luxury brand SUV bar none. |
| Price of the Lexus RX: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD | The price is very high if compared to a Mazda CX-9, with similar features, similar performances and similar (i guess) reliability |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | more than $12000 more than the Murano with all the same bells and whistles |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | Overpriced |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | all of the above come with a price tag, which, over the long term, balance out with hopefully lower maintenance and operating costs |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD | This can be an expensive car. I would never buy one new and while I think there is value for money, I have issues with spending 55k on a car. I bought mine used on Ebay for a great price including shipping and have a friend who has done the same. |

| 2005 | 4dr Sedan, ext. 330-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
QUALITY APPEARANCE AND FEEL OF ALL MATERIALS INSIDE AND OUT OF CAR. ALL SEAMS MEET WELL. NO GAPS. AFTER 60K PLUS MILES ALL IS INTACT. NO RATTLES/SQUEEKS. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan, ext. 330-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Simply the finest, "spaceage" frame, all aluminium body and parts. |
What Our Members Are Saying about Lexus RX Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Lexus RX: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Vehicle feels solid and robust |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 209-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Solid feel to vehicle doors, no gaps or ill fitting parts. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
high quality |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD |
This is a beautiful car. Inside and out it is quality, comfort and stylish. I have put over 20000 miles on it this year and everything works perfectly. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Quality of all the materials are good. Compare the lovely wood trim they provide standard with, say, Porsche and the over-a-grand price tag for every item with wood on it. No brainer. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD |
Very soft leather interior and wood trim on dash and steering wheel. Interior has a very upscale look and feel to it. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Very refined and well made. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
this is my only real complaint. the workmanship is inferior compared to our 2001 RX 300. But then again the 2001 was built in Japan and the 2009 built in Canada. Quality of materials is also inferior to the 2001. |
