  • Bad Vision - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    This car has a terrible blind spot on the drivers side rear.

  • As Comfortable as Promised - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    Comfortable and affordable luxury with a history of low maintainace and high reliablity.

    I find the car to be less quiet and comfortable than expected. There is too much interior noise and road noise for an entry level luxury car. The motor, though powerful enough for city and highway driving, seems to strain when accelerating. Some good points include the A/C and stereo systems and ample trunk and passenger room. Overall, I find the car very average.

    Luxury at this price point is unbeatable. If you have a wife or if you have shorter legs, the $140 adjustable pedals are a must have. The variable suspension on the fly is great fun. Build quality is superb, and Ive never owned a car so quiet. Front wheel drive handling isnt torquey, and the options, like NAV and Mark Levinson are well worth the price. External styling is sporty but refined. Inside the car you are enveloped by a luxury that no other competitor at this price point can touch. Lots of wow factor at a very reasonable price.

    THE LEXUS ES330 (SPORT DESIGN) IS A SPORTY YET VERY CLASSY VEHICLE. IT GIVES ME THE SPORTY HANDLING THAT I LIKE WHEN I DRIVE AND LUXARY WHEN MY WIFE DRIVES. THE ES330 COMES WITH MANY FEATURES (i.e. NAVIGATION SYSTEM)THAT MAKE DRIVING SAFE AND AT THE SAME FUN. OVERALL I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE OF THE LEXUS ES330 AND OF THE A1A SERVICE THAT CAME WITH IT.

  • Cant beat it! - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    Bought new just before the 05 version took over, and still love it! Tires (Michelin) have gone away quickly; could it be the driver? The car is divine. Drivers seat was replaced at one year of age when power lumbar support died.

  • Rock solid - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    My second used Lexus, what else can be said? Rock solid, comfortable, very good on gas. I will have a third someday.

  • Worth Every Penny - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    Just switched out of unreliable German performance to the hush quiet and fit and finish second-to-none Japanese. For my money you cannot buy a better car. Flawless fit and finish, comfortable seats, super value and fine performance. You dont need more and you certainly can pay a lot more and get a lot less. Well done again by those who relentlessly pursue perfection.

  • A fine car - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    For me, size of car is near perfect- roomy cabin without the bulk of luxury car land yachts. The ride is what I wanted - quiet, smooth, with a solid feel. Although not an excitement machine, power is ample and is delivered velvety smooth. Fit and finish are exemplary, and cabin styling is excellent.

  • Best Car Yet - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    We love this car mostly for the roomy and comfortable interior.
