This Year's Model Updates:

Lexus polished up some of the details on the ES 330 for 2005. Revised exterior styling includes a new front and rear appearance with updated lighting and trim. Inside, color revisions and new wood availability keep things fresh. New 17-inch wheels are available in either chrome or alloy finish. A memory function now applies to both the driver and front-passenger seats, and heated and ventilated front seats are a new option. A revised steering wheel with auxiliary audio controls debuts, as does voice activation technology for the optional navigation system.

Pros:
  • Comprehensive array of luxury and convenience features, superb ride quality, silent cabin, advanced safety technology, excellent reputation for reliability.
Cons:
  • Bland driving characteristics, many of the most desirable options are expensive, no split-folding rear seat.

  • AWESOME ES330 - 2005 Lexus ES 330

    The ES 330 is wonderful. I sold my SC 430 because I found the ES 330 to be a better car with more options and certainly more room. If its a Lexus its fun and reliable and oh so quiet

  • Tricked ES 330 - 2005 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    Recently purchased a 2005 ES 330, added 18" Chrome Wheels, Toyo Tires, Dark Tinted Windows, and a Factory Rear Spoiler. Although the Toyo Proxes put more rubber on the road, the handling of the vehicle stayed relatively the same. With the added features, the silver car with chromes stands out significantly from other vehilces. The sound system is sufficient for the inside cabin, the controls for the air and radio are well positioned, with controls on the steering wheel making driving the ES 330 an intriguing delight. Have read a lot of reviews stating the ES is a glorified Toyota - nothing could be farther from the truth - there is no comparison, this

  • wonderful gas hog - 2005 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    My only wishes are for more storage space in the console, and better gas mileage. The ride is superb, and the heat/air vented seats, stereo, voice- activated travel guide, and overall comfort is non-parallel to any car I have owned, including Cadillacs and Lincolns. I have owned 12 GM luxury cars. Lexus has the best car for the price, and is more reliable.

  • Love it more each day - 2005 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    At first I didnt like the performance, but after driving it for three years, it seems to know my heavy foot and quick response I need. Now, it suits me to a T and my husband (a BMW) owner loves taking the Lexus on long distances.

  • Nice car - 2005 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    This is quite a nice car! It has a comfy interior with a nice GPS, and is quiet like Lexus is supposed to be. I dont really enjoy the jerks this car gives me, but other than that, its great.

  • Smooth as Silk - 2005 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    My previous vehicle was a 2002 ES 300. The newly updated version is fantastic. The heated/cooled seats are a must! The new maple wood interior looks elegant. The 17 inch wheels look great with the LS430 chrome wheels. The radio controls on the steering wheel are nice, but lacks a mute or off button. The car is still slighly under powered, but the smooth ride and quiet cabin are worth the sacrifice. Lexus quality continues to be the benchmark.

  • Best In Class - 2005 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    My wife was in the market for something special for her upcoming graduation gift - we had not considered the ES 330. Our focus was the RX 330, but when she saw the ES 330 and drove it, she was in love. This is the most refined car money can buy for under $40k. Everything about it screams quality: The paint, body lines/fit, interior trim, and driving experience. If you want a sports car, look elswhere; if you want a luxury car without having to consider a plethora of options (hint: try to build a comparable BMW 3-series and see where the price ends), look no further.

  • Lexus for Life - 2005 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    Most comfortable vehicle ever owned. Does everything but steer itself. No matter where I go, people of all ages stare at the car as tho it is some rare one-million dollar vehicle. Front seats are extremely excellent for people with back problems. Car rides so smooth, I believe you could run over a semi & not feel a single bump. Will never consider buying anything but a Lexus from now on.
