  LOVE MY ES 330 - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By AnnetteMarice - September 29 - 5:50 am

  I researched many cars including the BMW, Audi, Acura, Mercedes-Benz and the Avalon. After much contemplation, internet research and test driving all the cars, I chose the fully loaded 2005 Lexus ES 330. I have had it for 5 months and I love it. It is a smooth ride, not as sporty as others, but still fun to drive. The inside is pure luxury with many features to keep you entertained. The navigation system is very easy and user friendly. Voice activated Nav makes using the nav while driving really safe. The Mark Levinson stereo is a dream to listen to. The comfort for the front passengers is great. Lexus has the best reputation and is living up to it. Luv my car.

  Quality Automobile - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Staten Island Owner - August 12 - 9:26 am

  A truly high quality automobile. Every thing you touch exudes quality. Ride is extremely smooth and quiet. Power and handling is more then adequate. The miles just disappear and you arrive as fresh as when you departed. Dealership is top notch and will exhaust every means to please you. This is my second ES and I will purchase no other make at no other dealership as long as they continue the quality vehicles and first class service they provide.

  Great ride - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By moody1g - March 4 - 12:20 am

  I have only owned this used Lexus for a week but would recommend it to anyone. For a three year old car with 43,000 on the odometer I am impressed. The absolute bank vault solidity of this car is amazing. This is my first Lexus and I would absolutely get another.

  My New E330 Lexus - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Nicola Gismondi - December 10 - 7:36 am

  This car is a pleasure to drive. The interior is well appointed: leather is finely detailed, wood grain matches beautifully with decor, controls are easily accessable, and sound system is superior. I have been very pleased with the gas milage: 22 MPG around town and about 31 MPG on the Interstate. The road noise level is very low, probably the quietest car I have ever owned. You can not hear the engine running when idling. Nice car.

  From one Lexus to another - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Tim Palko - November 20 - 1:40 pm

  This is my second Lexus, my first a 05 LS430. Drove it for 5 years and loved every minute of it. I wanted another Lexus but couldnt afford a new LS so I purchased a 05 ES330 and love it. Same great features and Lexus ride. No transmission problem noticed because I do a lot of Highway driving. As far as cup holders, well you shouldnt be drinking anyway.

  Fun to Drive! - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Dave - October 30 - 5:20 pm

  This is the most fun to drive of any vehicle I have owned - and I have owned a lot of them at age 71. I find it responsive and a joy. I drive mostly highway miles and really like the gas milage - beats my 2002 Honda Accord by 15%.

  So heres the deal... - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Greenespace - October 30 - 11:06 am

  Overall, its a great and reliable car. The pluses include a quiet ride, extreme reliability, plenty of legroom, and an excellent stereo, even if its just the premium, not the Mark Levinson version. The biggest negative I can think of is that the transmissions in these cars are awful in lower gears. You WILL be jerked around, especially if you are rolling at low speeds and then accelerate. However, other than that, an excellent buy and a car that is hard to go wrong with.

  Snow-job - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By ALfromNY - October 8 - 8:26 am

  They are advertising this vehicle as being functional to drive in the snow. I cant even get this car out of my driveway when we get more than an inch of snow! No baloney. We live in upstate Ny and our driveway has a slight incline, but when it snows now I dont even bother taking it out of the garage. Ive tried it with the Trac -off, trac- on, it doesnt matter, now when it snows, I drive my wife to work in my vehicle. ( it was her idea to get this car).

  Best Car in the World! - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Motley Crue Rocks! - October 5 - 11:56 pm

  This is my first Lexus ES 300 and Im extremely glad I purchased the car. Its clean, bad, and sexy. It drives so smooth you never feel bumps. I also looked at Cadillac CTS, Audi A4, Lincoln LS. This vehicle is more luxurious than Cadillac, better ride quality then Audi and Lincoln was really dissapointing because the car rattled inside so much plus they are really bad in the snow. If your in the market for a luxury vehicle that is worh your money, get a Lexus after all its your money-spend it well. Plus these are reliable cars you can count on.
