Overview & Reviews

Other than the Nakamichi audio system value package no longer being available, there are no changes for the RX 300 this year.

• Well-appointed interior, perfect road manners, excellent crash-test results, optional four-wheel drive.

• Allergic to major off-highway work, cumbersome LCD screen in center of dash, feels more like a minivan than an SUV.

  A car dressed as an SUV - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By nyeard - December 12 - 10:00 am

  I just traded in my 1998 nissan maxima to get the RX.300 and I kid you not, The RX300 rides smoothier then my max did. The service is top notch. As for the car itself, it is a jack of all trades type of vehicle. You can run around in the snow one day and go out on the town the next. I was looking to buy a BMW X 5 but want ever I got I wanted it fully loaded. To get a fully loaded X 5 I would have had to spend 52 thousand dollars. I got my RX 300 4wd fully loaded with every option you could possibly get ( except the coach edition) and paid 38 thousand. Granted the RX300 is no X 5 but cheaper insurance and to ability to use regular gas is good enough for me

  Rx300 Yr2000 - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By Moi - November 30 - 2:00 am

  This car/SUV has excellent handling, great road stability in avoidance manoeuver (avoided a major crash at around 65 mph - thanks to the ABS). Nice pick up for a six, decent gas mileage. Interior well designed & all controls are well located. Could use a little more headroom (64"), & would like a telescopic steering wheel. A little wind noise at high speed. Excellent cabin noise reduction, where one can have speaker phone conversation without background noise. Great audio set up. Center console has four drink- holders, and enough storage to keep everyone happy. Overall a very satisfying driving experience all around, whether on long or short haul.

  Lexus RX300 - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By LenJAllen - October 28 - 5:20 am

  I have owned several SUVs during the past 10 years. This is the most comfortable, the most stylish, and the most fun to drive. I debated between a Ford Explorer and the Lexus two years ago and ended up with the Explorer. If I had known what I was missing, I would have purchased the Lexus then. I have driven the Merecedes M series SUV and the BMW X5. The Lexus has the besr ride by far. I really love the way it handles and the way it absorbs bumps in the road. I couldnt be more pleased.

  Love Lexus - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By SandiR - August 14 - 10:00 am

  I love my Lexus. Has been the best vehicle I have owned. Was hit in the drivers side front corner by someone running a red light one year ago. I remember the firemen and EMTs telling us we walked away only because it was a Lexus. Lenghty repairs(10 wks) but have not encountered any problems afterwards. Because of the accident, I learned many things about its construction and safety features, especially the airbags. Mine did not deploy but later found out they were not suppose to because of the location of impact. Negotiated price $33,000

  Luxury???? - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By TB07 - August 11 - 5:46 am

  If you noticed, the annual mileage portion of this review was left blank. I couldnt comment, as I have only had my RX for 6 months, 3 of which Ive been dealing with nothing but problems. 20 days post-warranty, my short block of the engine needed replacement, as it was burning excessive oil. Lexus stood behind the motor, but left me with the $2500-3000 labor bill. Dealership was horrible-- referring to me as a person looking to get an extra buck anyway I can; telling me I didnt appreciate any of the work they had done; and my list could go on! Will never deal with Lexus or Bergstrom ever again!

  Id do it again - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By Linda F - June 15 - 10:00 am

  I really enjoy this car. I do crafting, home projects and gardening and its perfect for hauling my supplies. It also gives me the flexibility of carrying passengers in comfort. Everyone who rides in the car comments on how smooth a ride it is.

  This car has not given me one single problem. I do have it maintained according to schedule and it has been the best vehicle I have ever owned.

  The Best Lux_SUV... If you dont compare - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By Bill91367 - May 19 - 12:33 pm

  One of the main reason for the purchase of this car was the handling; Its really drives like a car thats been raised by about 8 inches off the ground. Wind noise is excessive at freeway speeds for a luxury car.

  A nice luxury SUV. - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By RonZ - March 31 - 2:00 am

  Good acceleration, 0-60 in 8.5 seconds. Not as smooth a ride as one would expect, especially on California freeways.
