The new Lexus RX300 Multi Panel Roof!!!

<sk> SG

Hey anyone test drived the recent RX300 with the Multi Panel Roof? Its awesome… its almost like the whole roof top of the SUV is glass(even the back seat passengers have a roof top as well!) Woot!

i find the car quite dangerous to drive. it looks nice, but it's hard to park, i hate the small back rear view window. I had many close encounters with the rx + harriers cos they just entered my lane.

The vw toureg is beautiful.. handles well.. good performance.. the xc90 is also another good suv.

too many rx & harriers around.

small back rear view mirror is ONLY for harriers.. rx doesnt have those.

well, in terms of danger, 4 wheel drive in rain > rwd in rain > fwd in rain, besides that bltch has 7 airbags Shocked including one for the drivers knees Shocked

parking is definately not a problem, with all those sensors behind. If i who has been driving for 3 months can park the rx without problem, shouldnt be a -problem for most ppl

heh. serious, so many airbags? heh.let me correct myself.. i meant that when you wanna look back using the rear view mirror, the back view is kinda narrow. It's also quite a hassle to park the rx in certain multi-story carparks.

i'm not bad mouthing the rx, it's a beautiful refined suv. i'll have the xc90 anyday, cos the rx is everywhere on SG streets.

Well, the rx handles just purrfect! Plus its one of the cheapest luxury SUVs. Rain, snow or ice, its 4WD will make sure it stays on the road! Heh =P

RX300? bad car in terms of performance….underpowered…and safety cannot compare to the volvo XC90….I’d rather take that SUV…more powerful,faster,handles better and ALOT more soild and safer..it’s also damn luxurious

Personally I did rather take the X5 and if you had the cash a Porsche Cayenne... but RX300 is still the best overall in terms of its cheap pricing, fuel economy, long mileage and the moon roof is great!

yea, agree on the affordability of the rx, btw, the old x5 is quite problematic, not sure of the new one.. heh, the bottom line.. SUVs are ex..

out of point.. but.. Anyone here drives a defender? heard there's a speed limit for that jeep.. something like 60km/h? need help for this..

come on ya all..... you're missing out on a very impt SUV here.... the RX300 ain't no daddy compared to this. now the Porsche Cayanne Turbo is the fastest SUV on the road right, guess who's second fastest? (hint: ain't not the X5 or the Cayanne S)
its the Airtrek Turbo R. and oh price of this baby? a mere $112k compared to the mollah u fork out for a Cayanne Turbo, or for a butch porker like the X5, or even the RX300.
oh btw my Airtrek Turbo R is the Ralliart version, and i've had a sunroof AND a moon roof installed and its just at $120k. the cheapest RX300 is a massive $47k more expensive. cheap pricing? not by a lonnnnng shot. Fuel economy for a 3l compared to a 2l? nahhhh no fight... the RX300 also fails to score in the looks dept(even the RAV4, CRV and X-Trail look better). Everything it can do, the Airtrek Turbo R does better. and cheaper.

oh, quite normal, like a saloon car. even with my lead footed dad driving it everyday, he only tops it up once a week.
