1999 Lexus RX300 all wheel drive =
gas milage is horrible
turning radius is horrible
paint chips alot (previous lexus's paint much better)
brakes needed minor work. (usual wear and tear)
build quality is excelent
overall i love the RX. just those complaints.


also had a recall on all four strut mounts, and brakes. all repaired by dealer under warranty.

The gas milage is OK. 18mpg in hilly stop and go and 24 mpg in a flat area.

Turning radius is the ONLY shortcoming, other than the limitation of serious off roading capability. RX is soft, smooth and spacious and trouble free (for many owners).
