  • The BEST Car Ownership Experience - 2003 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    I bought another ES 300 after testing many competitive models priced less than $40,000. My first Lexus was flawless and was best in class when I bought it in 1997. The 2003 model delivers performance and quality that define luxury for me. I dreamed of owning a Mercedes; when I could finally afford one, Lexus was the better car. Life is too short to settle for second or third best. Lexus of New Orleans treated me very well, I recommend them without hesitation(honest and fair).

  • WOW! What a car! - 2003 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    My first luxury car, and the start of a beautiful relationship. This car is outstanding. From a beautiful exterior, to a plush and more than comfortable and gorgeous interior, this car has it all. I got the black garnet color, because it was so unusual, with the black leather interior, and it is absolutely beautiful. Im hooked on Lexus quality from the car to the dealership, a fabulous experience!

  • Happy to get rid of my sports car - 2003 Lexus ES 300

    In this car I just sit back and enjoy my music in quiet as the car floats down the highway. Everything in the interior and exterior is flawless.

  • Simple Pleasure - 2003 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    Purchased for daily commute of 120 miles. Comfortable, quiet, a true pleasure to sit in and drive. Love the Mark Levinson sound system and the GPS Nav system. Puts the enjoyment back in road trips.

  • ES 300 (learn to love slowly) - 2003 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    When I bought this car, I wanted a solid car that would last and age well, ride nicely and get decent mileage. I did not want an accord or camry either. I reviewed at least a dozen cars and the ES 300 was always at the top of each category. After purchasing the car I have slowly learned its little nuances and feel. I have grown to really appreciate just how solid a vehicle it is.

  • Smooth and Quiet - 2003 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    I have owned the vehicle for six months and have 3222 mile on the meter. It is silky smooth and quiet. No wind or road noise. A little floaty on uneven roads but only minimum. Mileage on trips have been 26mpg and around town about 21mpg. Eventhough it is based on the Camry and consumer magazines say buy the Camry because of the cost. I have drove a 2003 Camry and the ES300 has nothing in common to a Camry on the road. I highly recommed this car to anyone wanting a silky smooth quiet car that get you there in style.

  • My 2nd (used) ES200 - 2003 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    I bought this car after my 1994 ES300 transmission quit going into overdrive & couldnt be fixed. But I had nearly 175K miles on that one so couldnt really complain much about that. I have not had any of the problems with the 2003 transmission that others have written about in their reviews. I did look at some other cars before getting this one - none of them compared to a Lexus. Guess the 94 spoiled me for any other car (that I can afford, lol).

  • Incredible comfort without power - 2003 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    Great car. Very classy and comfortable. Not a sporty sedan though. Go for the BMW if you want something faster. If you dont mind the lack of handling and speed, and you want something thats incredibly comfortable, large, and *reliable*, get the ES-300.

  • SOLID 10 - 2003 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    THE BEST!! We Have owned over 75 new cars and none have ever come this close!
