any information on an RX
Yes I do also drive the family RX300 regularly. To be honest with you it is like driving a comfy armchair. It is just so quiet, soft and refined and you will love at. We have had it a few years but the RX still (in my opinion) still looks modern and has lots of equipment. Ours has sat nav, touchscreen and the reversing camera.
Considering the RX is 4 wheel drive the lock is superb and they are really very manoeuvrable. I have borrowed it a few times in the snow when my BMW won't get off the drive and its been fine.
I personally wouldn't want an RX300 if I was going to do alot of off-roading, it is defineltly more at home on the road (as Clarkson would say - a Chelsea tractor!)
The autobox is very smooth and changes gear seamlessly. Things I do not like are that when you need to make quick progress and need to kick-down the engine can sound abit strained and noisy and it does roll a fair but (but then its a 4 wheels drive high sided crusier) but in normal driving it is quiet and refined - a proper Lexus. :thumbup:
If you wanted a 4x4 that looks good (in my opinion - I know Gord thinks they are ugly :p), is superb on road, comfortable then I would go for it but remember the reviews do say its not great off road but if you are just after one to survive with the snow then you might be able to get away with some winter tyres for it which will make it much better.
What happened to you getting an Evo?? Were you not able to persuade Mrs Mole? An Evo on Winter tyres would be good (and a lot more fun!) and its 4 wheel drive!
