Used 2003 Lexus ES 300 Consumer Reviews
What a change from GM
After 45 years of driving mostly full size luxury cars, this Lexus is the first non-US car ever purchased. What a wonderful surprise. After only 3 weeks, has exceeded all my expectations but it might take some time getting used to sitting in a smaller vehicle.
We like our ES
My wife had never heard of the ES300 model. She had her mind set on a C class Mercedes. We test drove the C class and she was all disappointed. Took her down the street from the Mercedes to test drive the ES and it was love at first test drive. For a car that sells for under $35K, it is better equipped than some of the other MFR's that have their models for 10K more. The ride is amazingly comfortable. Everything is automatic. The seats are great and the sound system - even the base system - is awesome. The power is not great which they took care of in the ES330 model and the transmission seems to have a mind of it's own. The CVT tranny takes the fun out of driving it.

beware of this car
I thought that when I was buying a Lexus, I was getting a reliable and quality vehicle. So I was willing to pay the high price. But for over one year the car shutters at variuos speeds. The dealer admits the problem but say that they don't know how to fix it yet. At least they fixed the warped rotors.
Truly Great Car
This is a very comfortable car to drive/ride in, it is dependable ad long-term cost is excellent
