I drive German, my wife drives Lexus. It's all a matter of personal taste. I appreciate the Lexus because it's well-made and for all the complaints about transmissions and such I spend much less time worrying over and working on the Lexus than any of the German cars. Oh, and my wife is no soccer mom, she drove a Boxster and an SLK before the Lexus and she prefers the 330 hands down. Also, if you're comparing the RX330 to the M6 or the 4.6L X5 (cars that are in your sig), then I would hardly call it a fair comparison in terms of handling or power. For what it is, the 330 is a very good machine for the money. Don't get me wrong, I like Lexus (I just bought one for my wife), but it lacks character, or soul, if you wish. As I live close to Japan, there is 90% ratio of Jap. cars. They are nice, comfortable, reliable, but smth is not there, if you know what I mean. You said you wife drove Mercedes and she didn't like it. I would say MB is totally junk. SLK is poorly built and doesn't look good, compared to Lexus. ( like Germans say: why do you want to buy a MB? It is for old people. Are you old?) But man, BMW is truly an ultimate driving machine. After BMW you can only drive a brand new BMW.

I just got 2004 RX 330 for my wife. I have owned 3 models of Lexus before and then I switched to BMW to try. I can say now that Lexus compared to BMW is JUNK, in terms of performance, handling, power and so on. No offense to anyone.

Hello, everyone! Does anybody have electronic version of the owner's manual for RX330? Mine was stolen. Thanks.
