  1. Oh my God - that has been my #1 complaint w/my 02 RX300 awd. My husband refers to the car as my little backhoe. I believe that Lexus has modified that problem substantially since the 02 models. I was driving a Benz before I bought the RX and believe me, it was like night and day. I have to say though that primarily the turning radius was really the only thing that I didn't like about the car. Other than that, I was pretty satisfied.
  2. I have a 2002 RX300 that is just about to turn 60k miles. It truly has been a very reliable car thus far. I have had all work done at the Lexus dealer. I just had it in the shop a month ago for the 60k mile svc work. It's expensive to begin with, however, the front rotors needed to be replaced - replaced the front brake pads a while back. Also, the back brake pads needed replacing - they were able to resurface the rear rotors. Then just the other day the check engine light and vsc light came on the dash. It was intermittent. I called the dealer and they got me right in. It was the O2 sensor. Of course, not a cheap fix. I have to say though the service dealer in my area - upstate NY, have been very good to me over the years. I really would like to keep this car for a few more years and just hope that I don't start having too many problems with the car. I always felt by taking it to an authorized dealer I would prevent any serious problems down the road. I average about 20-22 mpg. I have always used unleaded gas. After reading on these forums, was surprised to see how many people use high octane. Do most of you folks go to the Lexus dealer for your repairs?
