It's extremely reliable and a great lower tier luxury car.
I like how smooth & easy to handle the car is. I also like the size of the car overall (esp trunk) + spacious back seats. I dislike that it's not that fuel efficient and that there is no navigation system.
Teri W
Reliability for 16 years. Continues to look good even with newer models.
Very reliable and looks good. Great ride, very smooth for an suv. Service is expensive yet done well.
Geneva D
Great value for the money.
Had this car for 16 years and although it has a lot of miles it drives smoother than newer models. Easy maintenance that only includes oil change and tire rotation, resulting in low cost of ownership. Comfortable and reliable, a pleasure to own. Great value!
Steve W
It is very dependable. We bought it used and have had no trouble with it.
I like the sunroof. I like the sound system. I like the power of the engine. The seats are comfortable.

Most important thing others should know about my car is keeping good tires.
What I dislike in the Lexus rx 300 year 2002 is no GPS on the older models in the screen. I also wish it had a detector on it to show how many miles I have left to the gallon.
Andrew M
It's a smooth ride, with great visibility.
It's great! Easy to see out of. It has held up very well over the years, the only problem I have had has been with the electronics. It is 16 years old but still drives like a new car.
Mary C
I love my Lexus. It is very comfortable and has a lot of features. I have never had mechanical problems with it. I would definitely buy another one.
I have never had mechanical problems with my car and I've had it since it was new.

My car is dependable. Repairs can be costly. But I feel like I can rely on it to get me around for many years to come.
Negative Owner Reviews
Britt C
If you are looking for a reliable car that will last a long time it is great.
I like that it is reliable and that I will be able to drive it for many more years. I do not like how old it is.
Jewel G
It's just very dependable and reliable.
I love this car very reliable and dependable gets you where you need to go. I don't like that it takes so much gas but maybe my commute is far. The parts are kind of expensive but last super long. So you should invest in a newer model I would get a least a 2015.
Sarah W
It's not worth stealing. No seriously, why would you steal it?
This car was a gift. It is not something I would pick out for myself. I prefer an SUV that I can take out into the woods, like a Subaru. That being said, it is very comfortable.
Lexus RX Models
Models also known as Trim Levels, are used to identify a vehicle's level of equipment or special features.
My car is a Lexus rx 300. Although it is older it has so many comfort features. Heated seats, CD, am/FM radio, 8 speakers, leather seats, . Floor weather protectors in front, back and cargo area, front and back windshield wipers, trailer hitch, luggage rack on top, sun roof, cruise control, and all wheel drive. The all wheel drive is the best because I live where there is a lot of snow and ice. I have had very few problems with this car.

No bells or whistles, but a solid car nonetheless.
The car is comfortable, but it lacks many amenities enjoyed by drivers of cars made in the last decade. There are no seat warmers, no aux or Bluetooth capabilities, and no rear view camera or blind spot warnings, etc. That said though, the car is well built, comfortable, roomy, and gets decent gas mileage.
The 2002 Lexus RX has an average owner rating of 5.00 out of 5 which ranks it #3 of 8 other Luxury Full Size SUVs.

How Reliable Is The 2002 Lexus RX?
It gets great gas mileage, wasn't too expensive for a luxury car and turns heads wherever we go. Have not had any problems as long as you keep up maintenance
Stephanie B.
I feel like my car is very reliable! I do keep up with general maintenance and oil changes, so that helps. But it is a workhorse.
Krystal P.
Is The 2002 Lexus RX A Good Value?
We paid 24000 certified pre owned with great resale value, clean interior and exterior I would recommend it to grandparent parents or family members
Mike P.
We bought this vehicle previously owned. Got it in 2006. Think we paid about $13,000 for it then.
I will drive this car until it will drive no more. I will replace it with another Lexus.
