  Love My lexus - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Lisa - January 25 - 3:16 am

  I absolutely love my Lexus. There was some getting used to the car. Every car runs differently so you have to get the feel for it. But it runs great, even cold. It truly is a luxury car.

  Doesnt get much better - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Julia - January 23 - 9:38 pm

  I got my ES330 with just under 100,000. Im at almost 130,000 after 2.5 years. So far its the best car Ive ever owned. Ive only had to do preventative maintenance on it, such as a timing belt, spark plugs and oil changes. Ive gotten everything done at the Lexus dealership and at very fair prices. Thanks to this car, it will be hard to ever drive anything other than a Lexus.

  As Advertised - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Dino Necci - January 7 - 11:33 am

  My wife has been after this car for quite a while. It is a joy to drive everything works as intended, the only thing she complains of is the interior color. White on tan interior, black would have been better and the transmission the way it shifts but on checking the car it looks like this car is drive by wire, which means there is no cable connected to gas peddle. Its electric, that might be why the tranny shifts the way it does. The hot and cold seats are great, easy to clean, good fit and finish.

  Best value for the money - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By nonlinear - December 25 - 3:10 am

  Exceptionally quiet and refined ride, way above in ride quality compared to cometing vehicles. Excellent interior, with great fit and finish, and high quality materials, including genuine wood. Handles well in the snow. Nice Mark Levinson sound system (if you get the Nav package). Legendary reliability and dealership experience.

  Drivability, interior comfort are the best. I absolutely love my Lexus. The idle is so smooth and quiet I have to look at the tachometer to make sure it is running.

  From Jaguar to Lexus - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Barbara Rhea - November 11 - 8:50 pm

  I totaled my 2000 XK8 Jaguar in November. When looking for a new car, I looked at a number of luxury cars. When I found the ES 330, it was exactly what I wanted. I needed a 4 door, as I have grandchildren. I could not take them anywhere in the Jag. Now, being more practical, I can safely take my 3 grandkids to lunch and to the park. I am very impressed with the ES330.

  Retirement Car - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Hank - August 25 - 3:33 am

  We wanted a car that would make long trips easy. The ES 330 does that in style. My wife cant stand the cup holder. She drives it to work and needs her coffee. Since Katrina the traffic has gotten worse than ever. I am glad she has the comfort and safety of her new car while sitting in traffic. I find the tires transfer noise to the cabin. Our car had to have the radio replace shortly after purchase. Over all I am very happy with our retirement road trip transportation. PS. ours is gold and my 4year old grandaughter has gone on several trips with us and thinks Goldielocks is fun.

  Lexus Review - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Ann Marie - August 2 - 1:26 am

  I love this vehicle and I plan on taking it to the grave. I love the quietness of the drive the comfort and the heavy doors which make me feel like it wasnt built out of tin foil. The gas mileage is great for a car of this class. The fact that I have air conditioned seats as well as heated seats makes me feel like I am in totally luxury. The only negative I can think of its that it does not have rear folding seats, but given that fact that my husband has an SUV, I didnt think it was all that serious, plus the trunk size is big enough for my shopping sprees. All in all, I think this is one of the best cars out in terms of realibility, safety, and luxury.

  Lexus ES 330 2005 model - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By new es330 - July 26 - 6:20 am

  Very quiet car. Good value for the money as I was surprised how much the dealer moved off the sticker price. The performance is the only thing at this point that has me slightly disappointed. It does not have the pick up one would expect.
