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.

  Wonderful car - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By mikey f - March 20 - 10:00 am

  My experience? Easy. A perfect car. I dont even know why Lexus has a service department. Other than regular scheduled maintenance, there are NO repairs to be made ever!

  Great Buy - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By Peter L - March 20 - 10:00 am

  This is a lot of car for the buck. It drives like a nimble responsive car. The interior is very luxurious and spacious. Acceleration is quick and smooth. Brakes are strong. I got the premiem plus packege without the nav system. After negotiating, we got the car for 33,400.

  like a tank - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By Charles R. Williams - March 7 - 4:53 am

  This vehicle rides like a tank. My wife likes this. I dont. She is very happy with the car. She feels safe and the seats are good for her sore back. I dont complain but I do find it top- heavy and unresponsive. Do yourself a favor and put on the best tires money can buy, get them rotated regularly and have the alignment checked. We get 19 mpg on a mix of city and highway driving. At 80000, its been reliable. I shudder to think what a serious repair would cost. For this reason alone, I am agreeable to trading it in on a certified pre-owned RX330.

  What a great decision - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By CPT Rob - December 31 - 1:23 am

  Retired from US Army in New Hampshire. With young kids I had a minivan. Besause of the hills the transmission was a pain. I search through used cars because of the unacceptable cost increases. Used Lexus was not one I considered until I found a 2002 RX 300 that looked new. AWD leather auto, electric everything. Great maintenance records. Under 55K miles and priced below 20K. Took a test drive and instantly fell in love. Traded in the van and put new tires onit and feel very safe and confident driving thru this long winter. If you can find one check it out.

  RX 300 - quite a package! - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By Rocky Mountain Man - September 28 - 4:30 am

  This car is great. I had to replace my Maxima because it handled poorly in the snow. Cant wait for the first snowstorm! We had lots of luck with Toyotas over the last 9 years with excellent reliability, and low maintenance. This car handles well, though you can certainly tell its not a performance car with its heft. The 3 liter V6 is adequate and I have actually been getting 22 to nearly 26 mpg for an AWD car, which is amazing! It rides very nicely, and handles bumps well. Its a great cruiser on the highway, or great on rutted dirt roads. We had it on some pretty rough roads and it was great. I hope the Lexus reliability that I found during my research is as good as our 4Runner.

  How I wish to be in it now - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By TheMULTIMEDIAman - September 4 - 5:13 am

  The best purchase that I made in automobiles. Saw the vehicle on the lot at night and two days later the vehicle was in my garage. All done over the telephone. Documents signed in a hamburger joint parking lot Hassle free! Lexus knows how to treat their clients

  lEXUS RX300 REVIEW AFTER 10 YEARS - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By nahash - July 24 - 4:53 am

  Hi, I have this car for 10 years now with 220k In general it was a great car very comfi to drive. It had few small problems but 2 problems that I want to share with all potential owners. One is with the anti lock brake sensors. During the 10 years had to change 2 anti lock sensors. 1000$ cost for each.Lexus built the antilock sensor into the drive shafts so there are 4 sensors in this car as it is a 4 wheel drive ( 4 shafts). In order to change the sensor the shaft must be replaced with a cost close to 1000$. Other issue is the timing belt. This model has a timing belt that must be changed around the 180k with a cost to the customer of close to 1000$. so be aware this is what you will face

  The only glitch so far has been a defective driver door hinge (covered by Lexus). The Lexus experience has been wonderful.

  This car saved my life - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By asimkhan0620 - June 4 - 5:30 pm

  If there was a higher rating for build quality and reliability besides excellent, this car would get it. As a senior in high school my parents allowed me to drive this car to school and back. However, one day coming back home i was stopped in a construction zone. A car going around 60 mph apparently did not realize that i was stopped in front and nailed my back bumper. I felt the impact but the car beautifully absorbed the blow. I was so grateful i was driving a truck, a high quality lexus truck, as the accident could have been a lot worse. as the accident could have been a lot worse.
