  ES300 a true Lexus - 2003 Lexus ES 300
  By Caran - December 31 - 10:00 am

  A car with good ride, very confortable, Lexus quality is difficult to beat. If you like luxury and smooth ride, its a best car of is category. Not a sporty car, but a luxurious one. I choose the ES300 for is smoot ride and great quality construction.

  03 Lexus ES 300 - 2003 Lexus ES 300
  By toydriver - December 14 - 10:00 am

  Just completed 500 mile trip in a new ES. Outstanding for quiet, comfortable ride, great stereo, and soft leather seats. Minimal to no road noise with Michelin tires. Fit and finish is perfect - as expected of Lexus. New 5- speed automatic transmission is very smooth. Plenty of head and leg room in front seats for six-footers. Lexus has made major improvements since the ES was redesigned last year. Averaged 27.5 mpg, and hope to improve on that after engine is completely broken in.

  Wonderful - with even greater potential - 2003 Lexus ES 300
  By unclecheeb - December 2 - 2:00 am

  A wonderful vehicle in a class by itself. Attracts attention, but the ES and Camry look too similar. Fantastic interior. Comfortable seats with a myriad of adjustments. First-class fit, finish and quality of materials, exceeds quality of others in class. Ride is plush, but not advertised as a sports sedan. Safety features abound. Excellent driver and passenger protection. Many comfort and convenience features, yet there is room to further distance the ES from the pack with the addition of convenience option features from the LS series e.g., keyless entry/ignition, storage bins, auto-adjusting steering wheel, auto door closure, etc.

  All Around Quality - 2003 Lexus ES 300
  By Impressed owner - November 13 - 5:56 pm

  I purchased this car used, 6 model years old and 69,000 miles. It is very comfortable to drive on extended trips, smooth, quiet, soft leather seats, and a high quality sound system. It has soft and smooth handling, as its designed as a luxury sedan, not a sports sedan. My only problems have been a pair of new catalytic converters(warranty) and after replacing a rear window, the automatic switch is off so I need to manually stop it on the way up. I will definitely look at Lexus when my wifes Avalon needs replacing someday. This one will stay in the family for the rest of its lifespan.

  First Lexus still remembering my Benz - 2003 Lexus ES 300
  By First Lexus - November 6 - 2:00 am

  First Lexus. I looked at all of the competition:Mercedes,Jaguar,BMW,Audi and Volvo.After owning a Benz my 1st thought was to get another one. After reading some reviews on Edmunds, I decided against it. As for the Lexus, good car but a little dull. I love the interior and the navigation and the overall space. I still havent gotten used to the exterior styling, the headlights in particular. I have had squeaks, rattles and a thumping sound in the trunk during initial acceleration. Turns out the dealer has been getting this complaint. Problem is when the gas tank is full, the fuel swishes and makes a pounding sound. Reliable, but vanilla.

  Beautiful auto! - 2003 Lexus ES 300
  By yeahright30 - November 6 - 2:00 am

  Beautiful car inside and out. Good amount off the sticker price these days too. I was able to get even lower than tmv. Absolutely the most gorgeous car for the price. especially the interior with leather and wood that is unsurpassed in its class.

  The Legend - 2003 Lexus ES 300
  By Bhavin B. Mehta - November 1 - 10:00 am

  I looked at Mercedez, Audi, Acura and a whole bunch of other cars. I decided to settle for a Lexus ES300 because all the features that I was getting as an option in some of the other vehicles were all standard in the ES300. It is a great drive. I already put in 1400 miles in the first 3 weeks. The dealer was great and definately deserves commendation.

  ES300 could be a lot more comfortable - 2003 Lexus ES 300
  By ed65 - October 7 - 10:00 am

  enjoy most everything about this car except the build of the front seats. Theyre just not comfortable. even with the lumbar support, which is a good one, I had a terricic back ache after the first two hours driving the ES300. Otherwise, its a geat automobile.

  Quality at an affordable price - 2003 Lexus ES 300
  By Masked Bandit - September 25 - 2:00 am

  I enjoy this car and am glad I was able to get it. I used to have the 94 ES 300 and I never had any problems with it, so got this car because of my previous experience with it.
