  Low maintenance - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By C. Dudley - May 2 - 9:26 am

  After years of purchasing US made automobiles, all needing several trips to the dealer for warranty repairs, the Lexus ES330 never needed a single warranty repair in 10 years. It is quiet and rides smooth with excellent gas mileage on long trips. We are so pleased with this car, that we will look for another Lexus as a replacement. The car was traded for a 2016 Lexus ES350 in Dec. 2015.

  2004 Lexus 330 needs a V-8 - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Dave - March 26 - 10:36 pm

  If quality and luxury tops your list, consider Lexus as a buy. Drivability, interior comfort and amenities are impressive, but performance could use a little more power. V-8 engine in next years model would be better. 300 hp instead of 225 would make the ES 330 perfect.

  Lexus 330 - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Roger Fischer - February 8 - 5:40 am

  My experience with this model has been excellent. Quality workmanship and this model has been refined over the years to have a great deal of reliability and little or no defects. The moonroof is standard, however I never use the moonroof and am paying for it in the overall price. I also prefer a solid roof for greater (potential accident) safety.

  Baddabing - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By tlcbjc - January 28 - 7:03 am

  The 2002 Toyota Avalon I drove was my favorite. Not true since I bought my 2005 ES330. The luxurious interior and standard equipment of the ES330 outshined the Avalon. I have had many compliments on the Silver/Black interior. Truely a beautiful ride. For more bang for the buck, this car cannot be beat.

  The best car I have ever owned - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Lexus es 330 - January 12 - 12:16 pm

  I have to rely on my car everything, and this is my 5th year owning a Lexus, I am amazed that this car has never left me stranded on the road. I work the midnight shift, and it is important for me to have a car I can depend on. The Lexus performance is excellent. I am so happy with my car that I tell everyone to buy a Lexus, even if it is pre-owned. I only take it for an oil change and keep on rolling. Keep up the good work Lexus.

  Love My Lexus ES330 - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Suzanne - December 5 - 4:26 pm

  This is our second Lexus. We had a 1994 Lexus ES300 that we put 181000 miles on through all types of driving conditions in Alabama, Maine and Maryland. When the 2004 ES330 came out, we decided it was time to part with our beloved ES300. The first one still looked and drove like new. That car NEVER gave us one minute of trouble in any way. The new one has more power than the ES300, which is nice. We are now in Florida where the front wheel drive wont be needed as much as it was in the treacherous roads during our winters in Maine. We are sold on Lexus, and will most likely buy one again.

  Great Ride...Smart Buy!!! - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Rich Mc - October 27 - 7:00 am

  I drove my last car a (Maxima) for nearly ten years. I was ready for a new car and shopped the market hard. I compared everything from sedan to suvs. When it was all said and done I opted for the smart buy in the Lexus ES 330. After three months of owning the car I have been extremely pleased. While it might not make the statement some other trendy cars or even other luxury brands might offer, its an amazing vehicle. This is my first Lexus and it wont be my last. Ill be hard pressed to look outside the Lexus family when purchasing our next vehicle. If youre looking for an upgrade from an Accord, Camry, or Maxima, I suggest you consider the ES 330.

  Great by any standard - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Chet Gronke - October 25 - 1:20 am

  We purchased our Lexus ES 330 and went on a 3000 mile trip almost immediately to the NE and the performance was flawless. While we purchased the auto in Fl I had the 1000 mile checkup done in NJ. The Dealership was prompt efficient and most thorough just like Fl. No hassle and we were on our way in a little more than an hour. Being 6 3" I found the interior room up front more than sufficient while the rear seat crowds a 6 footers head space. Has about 99% of the quality my Benz had only sacrificing a little handling response. Lots of value here for the dollar.

  By comfortable/safe - October 21 - 5:23 am

  This is a luxury car, not a sport car. I have enjoyed driving this car! I will buy another someday! the comfort and feeling of a quiet, safe reliabilty comes to mind instantly! Worth every penny... I owned a Lexus.
