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.

  trans failure - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By Mike J - July 25 - 6:13 pm

  Trans failed at 87000mi.(out of warranty) Had dealer replace trans ocos $4000. Maintenance schedule does not suggest or state to "service trans" by replacing trans oil/filter. Just states to check fluid level. Will not purchase Lexus or Toyota againg.

  Rattle, rattle, rattle - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By sanfoja - July 15 - 7:13 am

  Love the RX300 EXCEPT for the rattles, have been plagued with these since about 1500 miles. Dealer has tried and tried but cannot fix the rattles, more just appear. Gonna trade this one in which is a shame because, otherwise, it is a great little ON-road SUV (also own a GMC Yukon 4Dr, 4WD for serious duty). The fuel mileage is a bit disappointing too, but it is AWD so I wont say it is awful (18 city 19-20 highway).

  Nearly Perfect - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By stellab - May 3 - 10:00 am

  Overall, this vehicle is a dream come true and VERY worth the money. The handling is superior. Luxurious interior and comfortable ride. Rear seating is roomy. Front window is large so vision is unobstructed. Wipers are too slow. The audio controls leave a lot to be desired. Heater is slow to heat up, but the heated seated make up for it. Too much road noise. I had a Grand Cherokee Ltd V8 but the Lexus mpg is barely better with a V6. Could use a V8 option, but the V6 is okay. The fit and finish is superior. Wonderful experience at dealership.

  This is my third Lexus but first RX. Drives just like a car. Its easy to handle, and it has everything Ive come to love in the Lexus brand: smooth ride, luxurious interior, easy-to-read display.

  We did our homework - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By Boiseyankfan - March 20 - 2:00 am

  To anyone looking at these 4 SUVs. Acura MDX, BMW X5, and the Mercedes. We compared everything. Lots of on- line work and dealerships.However, the Lexus up tops in almost every category and we got the car for $34k. The Acura would have been $43k. The Mercedes was $39k and the BMW was outta site at $49k. All with basically the same features. The Lexus rides/feels like a car and the others feel like a truck. So.. with the warranty and awesome Lexus service, if your looking to have your cake and eat it too, this is it. The RX has it all. This is not an offroad SUV. Its a luxury street SUV, so instead of getting it dirty, turn some heads!

  Best SUV - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By SUSAN - November 6 - 8:06 am

  I have had this SUV for 9 years now and the only problem I have had is that in cold weather the fan belt sometimes squeals. A little grease eliminates the problem. I do regular oil changes every 5000 miles (use Mobil 1), and thats about it.
