Worth It
My wife found this car online. It was used with only 31,000 miles. I now have 78,000 mile on it and I am very happy I bought this car. Great ride and quiet. Texas is putting down rocks on the roads and noise levels increase greatly. In other vehicles you can barely hear others talk but the Lexus is much quieter. I am a mechanic so I know how to maintain vehicles, which saves a lot of money. I tell all my friends and family they should buy a Lexus. The only drawback I have found, is the braking at high speeds, not the best. I am looking into other braking systems I can upgrade to. I am 6ft tall and have plenty of leg room.

A best buy
This is my second Lexus ES. The car had decent acceleration but i found it lacking when merging into an expressway. Comfortable and quality.I bought a 2003 ES300 with 33,000 on it in 2008. I drove it for 30,000 with no mayor issues. The car was like new even though it was 5 years old when I bought it. The worse problem was that a mechanic at Lexus of North Miami sabotaged the AC system. Got angry when I complained he had not changed the AC cabin air filter after servicing the AC, which included the filter. A different dealer confirmed the AC had been purposely tinkered with and gave an estimate for $900. Took it back to Lexus of North Miami and service manager had it repaired for free. Car
Squeak
I like the car, but am disappointed with my driver's seat. Every time I accelerate or slow down the seat lets me know it by emanating a loud, annoying squeak. It sounds like there is a spring broken in there or when pieces of styrofoam are rubbed together. I have taken it to the dealer 6 times and they even replaced the seat once, but they cannot fix the problem. It is so loud that even blasting the excellent radio does not help. I spend a lot of time in my car and this problem makes me want to trade the car.
What A Great Vehicle
I purchased this vehicle three weeks ago and it is a great vehicle. The ride is quiet and smooth. There is plenty of power when you need it, and the interior is very well built. The confort level when your in this car is very high. The ventilated and heated seats our a must have option. If you purchase this vehicle I can not see how you could be disappointed. Everything in the 300 ES is luxury oriented.
Lexus ES 330
Useless front cup holder, everything falls out and spills. The rear seat cup holder is fine. For tall drivers with long legs, need better/larger front seats, seat bottom from back to knees with more leg room front seats. The car needs to have it's horsepower kicked up, as it stands now, it's pretty gutless especially when passing. The trunk is so dark at night. Needs a brighter trunk lite or lights and different placement of the lights. It would be great to have more controls on the steering wheem so the driver doesn't have to take his/her hands off the wheel. I know these are petty little things, but it's the little things that day in and day out that get to you. Overall, love the car !!!!
