The seats are comfortable. The ride is smooth. It has a lot of power, the down side to that is that you can go 80 mph and realize it. I like that you have dual temperature control, so I have my own temperature and the passenger has their own. Our two adult children can ride in the backseat comfortably. The trunk has lots of room for storage, too.

It has a security system...also, very good safety features
I love my car as it's very comfortable, has heated seats, power everything including the sunroof. It has built-in GPS & a 6 disc cd changer. And, there's plenty of room in the trunk.

The best thing is its smooth operating system.
Lexus is a great brand. The car operates smoothly. Even though the car was from 2002, it still works well in 2019. This is my first car, and I do plan to keep it for the next 10 years. However, if you have to change or fix some parts of the car, going to a Lexus dealer can be expensive.

Lexus makes a solid, reliable upscale car with low upkeep.
Has 220k miles and have had almost no problems with it. Still has an extremely quiet ride, holds tight turns, solid handling. AC still cold. 6 disc CD handler failed but remainder of sound system still produces good sound.

It has a beautiful interior design with a killer stereo
I got my car pre-owned from a family friend. I used to drive a Toyota Camry, but this has been an incredible upgrade. It drives smoothly and efficiently, but it takes a lot of gas mileage

It's older than it looks, but still has a newish feel. It is very comfortable being driven in the car as a passenger.
It's been very reliable with few issues over the years. Big car that is comfortable to drive for long periods of time.

Overall great car. You'll have it for a long time.
Reliable, fail gas mileage, good looking, stylish, a bit costly to fix but seldom needs fixing. Comfortable ride, good visibility, good acceleration and handling, takes premium gas wish it took regular gas because of the cost. Insurance is a bit more than I wish.

2002 Lexus es 300 review.
It is comfortable and reliable and has a good amount of power. Steering wheel squeaks and the back left door does not lock but those are the only problems I have had so far. Overall I think it is a good car for what I paid for it and it also has heated seats which is nice.

Great car, great comfort !
This is really the best car I have ever owned! I have put over 190000 miles on it and it is still running strong. Besides accidents it has only been in the shop for service twice ( not counting standard maintenance). I have driven this car from Chicago to Washington D.C. Several times and it made the trip there and back without a hitch. The interior keep you comfortable enough to make those long trips without fatigue. Great creature comforts and great dependability. How can you go wrong.

Wonderful car that is really up-to-date for its age.
We purchased the car used about four months ago. So far, we love this vehicle. For the age of the car, it is loaded with so many newer features, touch screen navigation, airbags everywhere, power sliding sunshade, but still has features that most cars today do not have. The cassette player is awesome! Never thought I would see one again in a car. The car gets above average gas mileage. Ride quality is great, very little road noise, smooth, doors shut easily and snug. The motor runs great, it just lacks the power I think it should have. The steering wheel makes a weird noise when it is turned, which is sometimes annoying. Wish it had keyless start.

It drives really well. Is fast and has automatic windows and seat adjusters. It's comfortable and fun. It would be better if it had an aux plug in. It mainly just old and the repairs are costly when it needs them.
An oldie but a goodie. Obviously an old luxury vehicle.
Tracy M

2002 still rides smoothly.
No real problems other than regular maintenance. It's reliable. The ride is still smooth. My issue is price gouging of shops for repairs. I get regular oil changes so that is crucial for maintaining performance. I get great gas mileage, the only flaw is recommended 93 grade at the pump.

Cruising downtown with the ac on.
The car drives great. Living in a hot climate, ac is very important and that is probably my favorite feature of the car. In the winter, I wish it had a seat heater, but the heat works well. I also wish there was a rear windshield wiper, rather than just the heated glass (but it is effective after a bit, if you do not mind waiting). It drives and handles well, but the brakes are extremely sensitive (which I view as a plus, but often throws people off who borrow the car).

How smooth the car rides and the it is a well built car.
I have had my car for 13 years so far I have not had any major problems with it. I have about 147,000 miles and I still get a lot of compliments. My has a sun roof as well 6 CD player and cassette player they both are working. The car still have a smooth ride. I have really enjoyed my car I am very sure my next car will be a Lexus.

Lexus es model - older model, runs like new!
No current problems. Very reliable, easy to handle. Contains all the features that a newer model has - seat warmers, fast heating or cooling, quick defrost. The car runs very smoothly through any weather and has been very reliable after driving it for so many years. With consistent maintenance, the car has driven for many miles and is still a really great car.

Driving a older model Lexus
My car is very reliable and not bad on gas for a 6 cyl no major problems just regular wear and tear ! I love driving it on long trips ! Very comfortable because of the different position you can adjust the seat to your comfort ! I would like to upgrade to another one when ever my finances are able to

A decent first car that requires some maintenance
This car runs smoothly on the road and is very comfortable and easy to drive. The gas mileage is not great and often goes empty really fast after reaching half-full. The battery usage is not great and I have had to have my car jump-started multiple times, as well as replacing and recharging the battery a couple of times, and I have only had this car for a year and a half. However, this car has been a good first car to get me through high school and the beginning of college

My car is 2002 Lexus with small maintenance problems.
My car has a little problem with cv axle and rotors but rides smooth. This shiny car also has bright halo lights. The sunroof works fine too, and my leather seats my get hot for the summer but are very comfy and well maintained. My CD player does not work but I do have my cassette that connects to my phone like an AUX cord.

Lexus: Luxury no matter the year
My vehicle might be an older one but it is very reliable. 17 years ago it was considered a luxury vehicle and today it still runs like one. My Lexus does have a few scratches here and there from usage but overall it drives smoothly and efficiently. I have had the occasional flat tire, though that is not the car's fault. I've also had a brake light out but the only issue I could see being an issue later on down the road is the occasional harsh gear shifting.

A reliable vehicle in all types of terrain and weather situations. Very good on gas, and few repairs are necessary.

2002 Lexus ES300: dependable vehicle.
I drive the 2002 ES-300 model. For a nearly 17-year-old vehicle, it is incredibly dependable. It drives smoothly except for a shifting issue between second and third gears (it shifts rough). Gas mileage is great (about 240 miles for a full tank). The ac system heats and cool quickly.

Old but still luxurious and comfortable, you will love sitting in this car so much, you will fall asleep as a passenger.
I like the comfort and the luxury of the leather sets, and the electric seat adjustments. Cup holders s**k cause they break easily, but other than that, it is a nice reliable vehicle with a great engine to boot. It has lasted me a long time.

My reliable 2002 Lexus es.
My problems and issues with my car comes from it being used. There is a problem with my car. It makes a strange sound when I brake and I think it is the shocks. I would say it is a very reliable car. Since it is such an old car it is running very well for almost having 150, 000 miles on it. The seats are very comfortable but they are starting to crack. I do enjoy the automatic windows and the sunroof. The display of my temp and ac is not working properly.

It's slow in terms of accelerating. It has poor fuel economy. It is not a good color. It has problems. I like that i have my own car

2002 Lexus es 300 great gas mileage.
My Lexus is great! It drives really well and I haven't had many problems with it other than having to change the alternator when it came time to replace it, changing the tires when the tread got low and the drainage line to my roof window got clogged and flooded my back seat. In the interior you can choose the exact temperature you want and you can set the leather seats to your specific liking. Also, although it looks small, it provides a lot of space whether it be for car pool or if you are moving, and it is very reliable with great gas mileage.

Reliability in a luxury vehicle.
This car is the height of luxury and comfort, even though it is an older model. I have owned it for 5 years and have had no (0) mechanical problems. It drives like a new vehicle. Handles well on the road, smooth riding. Gets excellent mileage. I love the built in GPS system. It has a 6 CD player and a tape player. Back seat passengers rave about the comfort. This vehicle drives and rides like a new one. Easy adjustable, comfortable seats. Mirrors are easy to adjust. Excellent air conditioning. When I trade it will be for another Lexus.

It's Good First Car, Nice Comfort
I got this car after I graduated high school in 2016. I was the third owner of the vehicle. I've always haven't had to drive very far for work or school. I've only put 25,000 miles on it in the past three years. There is now a little over 164,000 miles on it total. There were a couple of things that I had to take it to the shop for. The first was the Bank 1 catalytic converter which cost about $1,300 to fix. Only a few months ago it started misfiring and stalling took it to the same repairman and he originally thought it was the Bank 2 catalytic converter but it turned out to be something else that was a $1,100 fix. The exhaust pipe has been hanging a little low but if you look at most Toyotas it does that after a while. All in all it's an okay little car and a good first vehicle. Nice space on the inside and a huge trunk.
Sarah J

Good on gas mileage and very luxury interior.
Features are really nice on the inside; leather heated seats, sunroof, touch screen radio, and sun shield for read windshield. Very few problems, the pipe that the power steering fluid goes into broke, and when I bought it rust had to be removed from the bottom of the vehicle but other than that there were no problems. Car is great on gas mileage and runs really smooth.

2002 Lexus es fits our family well!
This vehicle has had minimal issues. The leather interior is wonderful for cleaning purposes. The heated seats are so nice in the winter. Great trunk space. My husband loves the programmable seat position options so he does not even have to think about it, he can just adjust the car seat to his length with the push of a button and then when I hop in it is an easy adjustment right back. Heat features work really well on back windows and mirrors. Ac is powerful. Our daughters car seat fits well in the back.

My thoughts on the Lexus ES300
Have not had any real issues with the Lexus ES300, other than having to buy a power steering pump and the relay for the air-conditioning. Keep up the usual maintenance, oil change, tires when needed. Stay on top of all fluids, belts when getting worn especially the timing belt according to the manufacturer which should be changed @ 90,000 miles. This Lexus is no race car but it will take you where you need to go fast enough, and in comfort if I may add. After all it is a luxury car and the ride is smooth almost like cruising on a magic carpet. Never had any real problems with this car, I enjoy driving it. The comfort, reliability and performance are good enough for me. All the power amenities, cruise control, AC multi set up readings abilities on the dashboard gauges for trips compass built into the mirror, sunroof. There's are many standard options and others that could be had. The car is great and not that much to maintain. I would definitely recommend getting one.

If you buy this car used and it has a lot of miles on it , make sure you take really good care of it . If you do not then the car probably won't last you long.
I love my vehicle, it rides nicely and it has lasted a very long time. It had a ton of miles on it so it's starting to fall apart. It still get me from place to place so that is good.
