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.

  Loving It - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By cpearson - November 14 - 10:00 am

  This is a great car... The ride is smooth as silk and the interior is top notch.. I Love my dealership because when every I need an oil change they come to me and pick up the car. Great service!! I would like to see a better controll in a high speed turn like the volvo convertibles STS controll.

  Wish I found Lexus sooner !!! - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By Paul K. - October 3 - 7:33 am

  As cars go Ive always been a Caddy, Chrysler guy- After I drove an 02 ES, I bought one. Everything about it is super. This car does not drive, it "hovers" above the rode. Its nimble, luxurious, solid, packed with amenities and has 95,000 miles!!! Before turning the car over to me, the dealership performed the 90K service package, replaced the timing belt, water pump, and threw on 4 new Michelins (even though they didnt need it). Im totally won over to Lexus and it will take quite a vehicle to change auto choices again. Its so QUIET!!!

  Excellent Ride - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By Wes - August 6 - 12:23 am

  This is the smoothest car Ive ever driven. The inside styling would make you think your in a $70k car. Bought this car certified from Lexus at 44,000 miles. Now has around 50,000 miles and all have been trouble free. I also have a 98 ES300 thats a great car too. It has 130k miles and still drives like a dream.

  Dependable, High Quality Sleeper - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By lexusboy9 - June 12 - 4:55 am

  So I purchased my ES300 about too years ago with 109K already on the clock. She was mint condition and had one owner..She was flawless even with the mileage and years on her. I purchased her and never looked back! To date she has ran flawlessly, always their when I need her. I had one time where she did not start and it was because of a bad battery, slapped a new one in and she fired right up! Lexus really built this car for the long haul, Sheila (My ES300) currently has 129K on her and each mile has been timeless on her. She continues to get better with time. I plan on driving her until she tells me, I cant go any further! LONG LIVE THE ES300 I love her!!!

  2002 Lexus ES-High Quality - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By rebelsk - April 15 - 10:00 am

  I throughly enjoy driving the vehicle and even on long travels, it is quite comfortable and offers many features. The interior finish is typical Lexus (the very best) and the car drives flawlessly for the most part. I have had many cars and continue to enjoy driving the ES 300 more than the previous vehicles. I traded in a 2000 Acura RL to get the ES and had previously tested the Audi A4, BMW 3 & 5 Series, and the Acura TL. One other point to make about he Lexus ES 300. As with other Toyotas I have owned, they are extremely reliable and if they are maintained, can be driven for several hundred thousand miles.

  What I Expected - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By lexus1 - September 26 - 10:06 pm

  I have now enjoyed the car for 4 weeks and it has lived up to the Lexus tradition. I am still learning to park close to right-hand objects, since you cannot see the end of the hood on the right. I would highly recommend this car.

  Transmission concerns - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By ESLexus - July 27 - 10:00 am

  Nice ride, but needs more power. Exterior a little boring, but interior is excellent quality. I am waiting on the Re-design of the Acura RL.

  Lexus ES 2002 - 2002 Lexus ES 300
  By Patricia W. - July 12 - 10:00 am

  Although I do like this vehicle, I have to say it totally lacks get up and go. It has major hesitation when trying to pick up speed QUICKLY such as getting on an interstate or crossing a lane(s)rapidly to get out of traffics way. It has stalled badly in critical situations. I know in the years subsequent to 2002 the engine has been upgraded to a 3.3 litre but I just wonder if .3 is enough to do the job. I doubt I would ever buy another ES unless that engine was significantly bigger--
