Fantastic Car - 2005 Lexus ES 330
By NewLexusDrvr - January 3 - 6:46 amA fantastic car. I cant say enough for it. Makes me happy just driving even in L.A. traffic. With this car you cant go wrong. I have had nothing but pleasure with the soft ride and the power when needed. The voice activated navigation is fantastic.

Not Perfect, but Close - 2005 Lexus ES 330
By Dpech - December 16 - 1:16 amI was looking for comfort not performance and got exactly what I was seeking. The car is exceptionally smooth and quiet. I was a bit disappointed that Bluetooth and Satelite Radio are not standard - I bet this will change in the next year or two. I wanted the nav system because Im a gadget junkie but I really do use it and it works well. I have the ventillated seats and the heating part works well but the ventillated part doesnt have a very strong blower so it is hard to notice the impact. The transmission shifting is a fairly serious issue particularly if you do a lot of stop and go driving. For cruising on the highway this is a hard car to beat!

The Best Vehicle - 2005 Lexus ES 330
By Julie - October 10 - 8:36 amWe bought our vehicle in June and we have now had the vehicle for 6 months. We absoulutely love this vehicle. We cannot be any happier we decided to buy this vehicle. We looked at the TL, Toyota, and BMW. After test driving the Lexus we completely forgot about the other vehicles. The service we receive at Lexus is always impeccable.

Great Ride - 2005 Lexus ES 330
By Leon - September 12 - 4:26 pmThis is my first 6 cylinder car ever and what a ride. I took the 05 Avalon Limited for a test drive and although the engine may be more powerful the refinement and luxury of the ES is umatched. From the simplicity of the controls to the real wood throught the cabin. The comfort is unmatched. Owning a Lexus is great. Ive had people comment me on how great the car rides and this is from owners of s500 and the GS300 as well, so that says a lot.

Fantastic Voyage - 2005 Lexus ES 330
By Dave Balaban - August 14 - 3:16 pmAfter owning a few Toyota vehicles, we finally decided to purchase a Lexus. This has been a wonderful experience. The finish and fit are excellent. The steering wheel audio and Navigation controls are a great idea. I was worried about the ride quality with 17 inch wheels but it was not detected after I drove a 2004 with 16 inch wheels. I would like to see a folding rear seat. My wife and I argue as to who drives the car. We truly love this car and will probably purchase another.

2005 ES 330 Lexus - 2005 Lexus ES 330
By ES 330 - August 1 - 5:20 pmI have had my new Lexus just over three weeks. (I had a 2001 ES 300 Lexus.) I really enjoy my new car. I love the way it handles driving in the mountains and curves. The car turns on a dime. The power is available when needed to make a manuever on the freeway. The car is extremely comfortable to ride in. The sound system is really great

Happy with the Lexus 330 - 2005 Lexus ES 330
By CharlieMac - August 1 - 2:30 pmthe first thousand miles have been exactly what I expected. At the age of 48 I considered the Acura TL. What you give up in performance and look is more that offset by the older need for comfort and luxury.... My only suggestion is the HP needs to be goosed a little, say to 250-260 HP.

love it - 2005 Lexus ES 330
By robinsutom - July 22 - 4:16 amI have had my lexus for only 2 weeks and I love it. Everything about it says luxury. I had a Buick Roadmaster for 12 years and was looking for a car with the same smooth ride the roadmaster had. The ES330 out did all my expectations. Bumps in the road are hardly felt.
