Lexus RX300

The topic on which i’d want to make my posts will be cars, car manufacturers, and any interesting information about automobiles (e.g. new models, new technologies in production etc.).

So, i think that for the first time i can tell you about my own car.

Nearly 3 month earlier I bought a Lexus RX300 of 2001. It is a city style SUV and I have chosen it because it is very practical, i mean that RX300 is compact enough (it is very useful in Almaty’s traffic jams) and also it is very comfortable car. as well as such reasons i heard a lot of good things about RX300 and Lexus itself. It was like RX is good in controlling it on the road, it has a great audio system (Mark Levinson) etc. And of course  engine of RX is a measure of power.

So i bought it. And then I realized that for the amount of money that i have had for that moment it is the best choice. it gives Utility, Versatility and Luxury

Here characteristics and photos of Lexus RX300 taken from http://www.edmunds.com/used/2001/lexus/rx300/100001418/specs.html:
