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.

  Fix the Rattles - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By Minnesota gal - May 30 - 10:00 am

  This is my second RX300. I had a 1999 and now drive a 2001 with the Navigation system. The Navigation system is accurate to within about 5 feet. Impressive!! Its great in Minnesota winters; very sure-footed. Great sound system, very comfortable, nice high ride that feels like a car. I drive a lot of miles and I feel very safe in this SUV.

  By ms - May 7 - 2:30 am

  Last year I purchased this SUV for my wife. I must say Im sold on Lexus the car is wonderful to drive and the other day when I applied the ECT snow feature I was impressed with the active response. We are now a Lexus family, I will purchase either a LS 400 or SC 3 or 400 this spring.

  What a Great Car! - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By CSAustin - April 17 - 2:00 am

  Bought this car based on the rave reviews, high levels of safety & comfort. We were not comparing with the other luxury SUVs, but rather the Pathfinder, 4Runner, Highlander, Grand Cherokee, etc. Very, very pleased with this choice. Definitely worth a little more money for the level of comfort, safety and reliability.

  Love it !!! - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By koolcat - February 28 - 10:00 am

  The best car/SUV purchase we have ever made. Very happy with it so far. Drives well, smooth and good handling. For that price and a luxury SUV, could have many more features and less wind noise. Lacks power.

  RX300 - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By tsheer - January 17 - 10:00 am

  This is the only time in 25 years of car buying that I bought the same vehicle a 2nd time. I had a 1999, and when it was time to replace it I couldnt find anything else I liked as well. Its big enough to carry a lot of things, but still small enough for easy parking and maneuvering.

  Couldnt be Happier - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By MobileDandA - December 8 - 10:16 am

  I purchased my RX300 as a certified pre-owned vehicle with 36000 miles on it from a Lexus dealer. Finally, after 245,000 miles, it had its FIRST breakdown. The transmission went out. So, instead of putting a lot of money into a vehicle with almost a quarter of a million miles on it, I purchased another 2002 RX300 exactly like the one I had except for the exterior color and it had about 190,000 fewer miles. Couldnt see buying anything else because you cant get the reliability and service you get from Lexus. I cant recommend this vehicle highly enough!

  reliable Japanese car - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By concord lexus - September 5 - 10:00 am

  Pretty good car. Still trying to get use to poor design of radio/climage control. Quality of paint is not nearly as good as European cars.

  Looking forward to the next edition. - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By MILLER - July 12 - 2:00 am

  Looked at Acura MDX, Mercedes, and The RX. Wife liked the styling of the RX so we bought it. LIKES: The size and related styling is great for our needs. The ride is most comfortable and accommodates five adults easily. The quality of construction is excellent with few imperfections. Did not need the navigation system but ordered it anyway; absolutely love it! Will buy a Lexus product again even though we have owned Acuras in the past. DISLIKES: The roof rack "knobs" are most cumbersome (look at Jeeps set-up). The turning radius is too limited particularly for a SUV as short as this one.

  rebadged Highlander - 2002 Lexus RX 300
  By Pete - July 6 - 10:43 pm

  Ive been driving it for about a year and the whole experience is boring to say the least. Theres little road information in the sluggish steering feel and road tracking isnt always linear and true. Braking is lousy and made artificially light. what really irks me is a wide turning circle that hinders parking and no such things as back up sensors offered. While cornering, you really feel its weight. I really feel this car is for a much older crowd. This car offers a silenced cabin and wallowy ride, yet unable to smooth out road bumps. Overall, disappointing car considering its hefty price and bad fuel mileage.
