Overview & Reviews

Lexus has introduced a completely redesigned ES 300 for 2002. The new car is roomier and quieter than the previous car, and in many ways has become more closely aligned with the LS 430 flagship model. Safety and feature quotients have been increased, and the car is wrapped in a svelte new body.

• Nice array of luxury and convenience features, strong and silent V6, advanced safety technology.

• Many of the desired features are optional and expensive.

  2002 ES300 - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By Dwayne - February 21 - 10:00 am

  Truely a wonderful car mid luxury car, but it needs more power. That is the only thing that detracts from its "fun to drive" score. Interior is very comfortable and the Nav system is great. Except for power it is a very major improvement over the previous model.

  Creme de la Creme of its Class! - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By Lexus50 - January 3 - 10:00 am

  I recently purchased a 2002 Lexus ES 300 with the Navigation Package. This was my first dealing with a luxury dealership, and I can definitely say the experience _much_ more pleasant than with other manufacturers. Overall the car is superb. The new exterior styling compliments the stunning interior. The Lexus DVD Navigation system really gives the car a hi-tech feel, and the suspension absorbs nearly all the bumps the road can throw at you.

  Impressive Ride & Luxury - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By BKB - December 17 - 10:00 am

  I have been very pleased with the car and the dealership service. I had also bought my wifes RX300 from the same dealership, Sterling McCall in Houston, TX. It have very please and it exudes pure luxury. Also, while it is not sporty like a BMW, etc. it is plenty fun to drive around town. It will make you question the justification for the higher prices of the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes E-Class can be so much more expensive. I have not had any of the transmission problems mentioned on the message boards.

  Dont be mis-out: Great Car - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By Dallas_Best - August 28 - 10:00 am

  OK, so it doesnt look like a Mini or an LS430, but this is by far the most car you can get for the money. Let me specify: -Luxury, pure and real (real wood, real leather, real technology) -Ride and comfort- can not beat under $35K -Reliability - you get a million dollar service plan for under $35K -safety - side, front airbags, safety cage, sensors, all standard. This just cant be beat. If you want a sportier car with more horses, try the GS line. But for a commuter, this is the one. I paid $31,800 for the premium package model in white with window tinting.

  I like it! - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By Valeriy - July 2 - 10:00 am

  No problems yet. I am tall, so, it could be bigger. Also rear spoilers should be good for the car.

  My Lexso - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By Robert Smith - June 23 - 2:16 pm

  Im completely satisfied this vehicle, though Ive only owned it for a short time. The ride is so smooth and enjoyable, the cabin is quiet and comfortable. I test drove many luxury cars before deciding on my ES300 but none could compare nor do they rate as high.

  Not Your Fathers Lexus - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By Skippo - April 22 - 10:00 am

  I was torn between the value of the Acura S TL and the sheer comfort to the Lexus ES300. The Acura was faster, sportier, but gee I just sold my SVT Cobra Convertable. So I knew what performance was all about and the Acura cant hold a prayer against SVT. So I spent more money for comfort, Audio, smooth ride and it was the best decission Ive made in a long time.

  2002 Luxury Lexus - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By SC Senior - April 18 - 3:53 pm

  I love this car. It is comfortable and has a beautiful interior (burgundy and wood). The rear window shade keeps the car cooler in the SC summer heat. Great on long trips, heated seats great for back pain plus gets good mileage (30mpg). City driving mileage around 18-19 mpg.

  PERFECT SEDAN - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By *VERY NICE* - January 6 - 8:46 am

  This is our 3rd lexus, and each one has been wonderful! You cant beat the price and perfection that lexus offers. Any lexus easily can recieve 200,000 miles or more and run like a charm. The ES-300 is unmatchable by german auto-makers. This car is truely a nice riding mid-sized luxury riding machine period.

  3 Lexus Family - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By Stu - September 14 - 3:16 am

  I was so impressed with the ownership experience of my 00 RX 300 that I had to buy another Lexus. The exterior impresses friends and looks like a 70k+ Mercedes or Bimmer. Extremely powerful, reliable, and great gas mileage. Interior leather and wood trim really make the car. VSC, traction control, ABS brakes, and eight airbags really offer peace of mind. I would highly recommend this vehicle to someone who wants efficiency of a family sedan with a Mercedes S class feel. I would not drive anything else but a Lexus. My next car will be a lexus too.
