Very roomy car including large back seat and large trunk. Very reliable with no break downs in 4 years with normal maintenance only. Plenty of power for a sedan.

My prior daily driver was a Mercedes C320. The Lexus is quieter, bigger, more comfortable, better equipped, and significantly less expensive. I'm a convert!

timing on my car ES 330 2004 is very poor--complained to the service manager and was told until 100 miles nothing could be done--i REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS AS FAR AS i KNOW NO NEW CAR HAS TO BE BROKEN IN--- I think Lexus made a mistake
Simply the best I driven

Just finished my first 1000 miles and this car is simply flawless. Exterior has great looks and designs and interior is absolutely gorgeous. Fine leather,great controls,navigation is outstanding and the Mark Levison sound system is unbelievable.

We drove and compared the 330ES to the Acura, Volvo, BMW, Accord and Camry. By far the best handling vehicle of them all. A smooth quiet ride like I have never experienced before. Interior is elegant and comfortable. the people at the Lexus dealership treated us wonderfully, all and all agreat car and a great experience. I am sold on Lexus. A whole lot of car for the money.

The main things about this car are the good solid feel of it, the handling, ride comfort, etc. The color, alabaster, is trememdous in not needing washing often.

This is the finest sedan for the money. Fit and finish cannot be beat. The car is tank quiet and rail smooth. Unbelievable and with reliability second to none you can't go wrong. Run don't walk to buy one. Worth every cent.

My 2004 Lexus ES330 is absolutely SUPERB all around. I loved my old 2000 ES 300, but this 2004 is even better. It is smoother, quieter, more powerful, gets better milage, more luxurious, more beautiful inside & outside and just oozes quality all over. The new ES 330 is the best mid-luxury car on the road.
A good choice

Very nice car for the price. Very solid driving. Fuel mileage is pretty good, also. I like the overall look and feel of the car. If you want the luxury car without huge sticker shock, the ES330 is a nice place to start.
I need your feedback!

Purchased new..right off the truck..foolish move..didn't test drive it..find that transmission does not shift properly. Hesitates/holds back from first through second gear. The rest of the package is awesome. Only 1,000 miles on it and Lexus says the car is fine??????? Would love to hear back from other owners about transmission shifting concerns

Although the handling is not as tight as my last high performance car, I enjoy my new Lexus ES 330 immensely. The size is perfect for 4, and it can accommodate 5 easily. The truck is generous, and the front wheel drive is a carefree comfort in Northern climates. The rear sunscreen is appreciated by back seat passengers, and the safety ratings make this car a prudent choice. Additionally, the dealership has been superb.
A thrilled customer

Luxury at this price point is unbeatable. If you have a wife or if you have shorter legs, the $140 adjustable pedals are a must have. The variable suspension on the fly is great fun. Build quality is superb, and I've never owned a car so quiet. Front wheel drive handling isn't torquey, and the options, like NAV and Mark Levinson are well worth the price. External styling is sporty but refined. Inside the car you are enveloped by a luxury that no other competitor at this price point can touch. Lots of wow factor at a very reasonable price.

My white 2004 Lexus ES330 sparkles like a diamond. The ride is quiet, smooth and luxurious, and the 225 HP 3.3 V6 is responsive, powerful and agile. The added leather/wood steering wheel and shift handle gives it an eye-catching extra that gets great comments from all admirers. Way to go LEXUS!

This is our 4th Lexus over the past 10 years. Reliability and dependability are the best! The ES330 is an excellent mid-size vehicle for mostly local driving. I prefer the LS430 for longer trips.

Traded in a 2003 Camry for the ES330 Lexus. Ride and feel was the same. Controls are much the same. Gas Milage was less then the Camry. Overall the ES330 is just a Camry with more options and a higher price.

I love this car. It is fun, beautiful, all the luxury you would expect from a lexus. Super smooth. You cant even feel the road. You cant hear the engine, and a very quiet ride. Its a very comfortable ride, plenty of space, front and back. Big trunk. I would recommend this car to anyone.

Prior to this Lexus I had a BMW which was nice, but ride too stiff. I have had 3 other Lexus and maybe too partial, but have no complaints. Rides nice and smooth. Seating is the most comfortable yet. I just got the Sport Edition which is well worth it. Ride is nice and tight with great handling.
Impressive but ......

The interior design is beautifully done. Sitting in it, you felt you probably spent more than $50K although most likely you spent significantly less than $40K. The exterior design, though, is quite dull - almost indistinguishable from a Camery. The acceleration is significantly improved compared to the 3.0L version, but still significantly deficient compared to SAAB 9-5 or Lincoln LS V8, both are only slightly more expensive. It is a very comfortable and very quiet car to ride, although driving it for long distance can put you into sleep qucikly. The fuel economy though, is a bit disappointment: I registered about 20 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on highway.

I held off buying an ES300 until I had the opportunity to try the 330. The transmission is smoother and the acceleration is much better in the 330. Additionally, the model I purchased included the navigation system and the mark levinson audio. For the price, you can't beat it. I have used the navigation system almost daily, clear and easy to use.

We were looking for a reliable car, especially since we plan to do some traveling. We decided to look at the Lexus and immediately decided this was the car for us. It's a comfortable car - smooth riding - makes you feel special when you're driving it down the road. I have no complaints about our Lexus...in fact, it's the best car I've ever owned.

This is an excellent buy if you want to spend less and get a smaller LS in the Lexus line! The redesigned exterior brings it up to date finally, and the new engine is much better than previous ones.

Owning this vehicle for about a year now, it has proven to be one of the most inteligently designed vehicles which I have driven in. The ES competition can include the 525, I30, and E320. While each of these other vehicles have a variety of options which set them apart, the simple reliability of the ES, along with its handling, acceleration and fuel economy (24mpg - in reality) give it an edge when matched up with the available DVD NAV and Mark Levinson sound system. This is definitly my favorite of the executive sedans.

I had a full cup of coffee in a travel mug in the open cup holder. When I changed gears, my hand hit the cup (because it's taller than the holder) and a small amount of the liquid splashed from the cup's lid.

Quick acceleration, smooth yet agile handling, and you can hear a pin drop. ...as long as the cabin fan is on low. All controls are easily accessible and the interior is luxuriously appointed. The icing on the cake was the dealer, Hendrick Lexus, in Charlotte; words simply cannot describe how advanced they are in customer service.
Good car with nice looks.

This is a reliable, economic car with good looks as well as with a variaty of safety features. The only drawback is the unconfortable front seats in long drives. If you have chronic low back problems a long trip could exacerbate your disconfort.

The comfortable ride, safety features and warranty helped us to choose the ES 330. We looked at the high end Toyota Avalon & found that we were just about on par price wise with the ES 330. So, we looked, we drove, we researched & we bought. The step up which included a more refined automobile & the 4yr/50K basic, 6yr/70K power train was well worth it. I look forward to many enjoyable years behind the wheel of my ES 330.

I wished I had more time to shop around before buying this car. Like many reviews posted here, I found the transmission sluggish which makes me feel dangerous when merging into traffic. The car gives me the feeling that I might lose control over it when changing lanes on highway with speed between 60-75mph. The performance is not even as good as my previous '96 4Runner.

I've driven dozens of cars and nothing under $40 K comes close to the quiet and luxury of this car. Nothing. Absolutely nothing to complain about - particulary since the 2004 is less expensive and more powerful than the '03. Great car.

BEING A FIRST TIME LEXUS BUYER I AM VERY PLEASED THE ES330 GIVES A SENSE OF QUALITY AND SECURITY. I ALSO TEST DROVE THE ACURA TL (REMARKABLY IMPRESSED WITH SPACE AND FEATURES)AND THE INFINITI G35 TOO STIFF FOR CHICAGO ROADS.QUALITY AND SAFETY WERE CHIEF CONCERNS AND LEXUS OUT-PACES THE COMPETITION. A DEFFINATE BUY.......

I am an ex Acura owner and decided to try a Lexus. The ES 330 is a superb vehicle with a quiet, luxurious ride. Lexus pursuit of perfection comes close with this vehicle. I am glad I waited and didn't buy an ES 300 model. For the price, the features cannot be beat. I would recommend this model to anybody in the new car sedan market. A great buy and a great ride!

Up till now I have always driven a Caddy This car is much smaller and lighter ,but handles very well. For a change I am not always the designated driver. ( The beauty of a 5 passenger car) I like the back up warning system on the Caddy, so I had an after market warning system installed on my Lexus. All in all so far it has been a great car.

I bought my 2004 ES 330 in September and I love it. It's extremely quiet and sound proof (I have a hard time knowing when the engine is running),and handles the way I expect a luxury should. Everyone knows the pickup won't give you a rush, but it's plenty fast enough for me. If I wanted speed, I'd bought the GS or SC (if I could afford it). My car is smooth, good looking (black with the gold package), and comfortable as hell, with nearly all the bells and whistles available. My only bad surprise was the right-rear passenger power window stopped working. I brought the car to the dearlership, and they replaced the power window motor at no charge.

In the Lexus 330 I found what I was looking for. A high quality, reliable car with 5 star safety features. I'm 6'1" and fit comfortably in both the front and back seats. The driver seat is well designed, and my back feels better just sitting in it. The interior reflects great attention to detail. The car accellerates smoothly and fully meets my handling expectations. While the exterior design may not turn other drivers heads, it is great value and comfort. It also gets good gas milage, and uses regular gas.
