Safe for its time, and for today.

@lusticles that would partially be driver fault because even if the ABS malfunctioned, you could've still regained control of the car by overpowering the ABS

@JAPANTUNER100 Yea my family has had the first rx of late 1998 and i know all the safety stuff, and you are definitely correct.

Title is wrong on this video. The first generation (RX 300) lasted from 1999-2003, second generation (RX 330 and RX350) from 2004-2009 and the third generation (RX350) from 2010+).

Retard..don't run into a telephone pole at any speed.

[lusticles]

I crashed my 2001 Lexus RX300 into a telephone pole at 45 miles an hour. The driver airbag didn't fully deploy and the reason for the crash was that the ABS system had malfunctioned. The Lexus dealership had performed all maintainences on the SUV until that point. That was my first and my last Lexus.
