  First new car in 12 years and I love it! - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Dianne - June 12 - 10:40 am

  I knew I wanted an upscale car with lots of luxury and comfort, I drove several in this class but this was the one - I knew as soon as I sat in it. The seats are luxurious, it is quiet, it accelerates well - in short, its great.

  Top Luxury/Moderate Performance - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By LBPop - May 29 - 11:33 pm

  If I was 10 years younger, this car would not have been my first choice. However ,in my mid 50s its perfect. Luxurious, quiet, classic and, with the ride stabilization, it handles relatively well. The shift lag seems to improve over time. It can be reduced by decisive decisions to accelerate. If you hesitate, it does too.

  Another Home Run - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Mike1948 - May 17 - 11:00 am

  This is my fifth Lexus, and as with my two prior ESs and two GSs, the results are the same, fantastic. I have found the car to ride beautifully, and the reliability to be what I expect out of Lexus. While the body style is not the most agressive, it still carries an air of luxury. I would once again recommend Lexus to any of my friends looking for a new car.

  I read all reviews about this car prior to purchasing it. All of them are true. Despite its Camry look, the interior is superior and luxurious. It rides better than BMW 325. Most cars come with package 1 or 2. Go with package 2 (everything but the navigational system).I got mine at slightly below $31K (package 2). It worths every penny.

  Best Ride of a Lifetime - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By Eddie - April 13 - 11:23 am

  This car is only for the young at heart who wants pure affordable luxury. It performs and drives like a dream and your neighbors will envy you from the first time they see you pull it into your garage. The mileage per gallon is very accurate.

  First time owner - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By dalfrednix - January 20 - 10:00 am

  Bought a 2005 ES330 recently and so far Im very satisfied with my choice. I have less than a 1,000 miles on the car but so far no problems and the transmission is shifting smoothly. The best I could do was a $1,000 off the MSRP and a fair price for my trade-in. Dealer politely told me he had others interested in this car. At first I thought this was just talk until the interested party showed up at the dealership will I was finalizing the deal. Ive owned BMW and Mercedes and I was looking for comfort, quality, and long term reliability-Lexus was the ONLY choice.

  By Cliff - October 10 - 12:40 am

  This is a fine car. The only negative is the hesitation when accelerating from stop. However, while it bothers my wife, it does not bother me since I always gently accelerate and there is no hesitation. I would highly recommend the car but be sure and test drive it before buying to see if the hestitation annoys you.

  LEXUS OWNER FOR LIFE! - 2005 Lexus ES 330
  By polarbear11 - September 19 - 5:14 pm

  SIMPLY PUT THE CAR WAS BUILT TO LAST! I now have 171,000 miles and counting. M any of my passengers cant believe that my es 330 is 10 yrs old, they say it rides like a new car. I have owned 2 bimmers they are very well built and reliable cars but the cost of repairs is just crazy. I will only buy Lexus vehicles from now on.
