  The right choice - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By 2ndLexus - September 1 - 10:00 am

  Shopped the whole spectrum and came back to Lexus, again. The car exudes their motto "relentless pursuit of perfection", interior is the height of luxury, new 3.3/225hp has the power, exterior is contemporary. What a beautiful car to look at and so smooth and quiet to drive. Top-of-the-line material in every corner. Navigation/ Mark Levinson is the icing on the cake.

  Paying less for more - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By k5861 - September 1 - 10:00 am

  Having bailed out of a 2001 Cadillac Seville which had an unacceptable number of mechanical/electrical problems, I find this car a Godsend of a bargain. Fit and finish are flawless. There is plenty of power to get up the 8,200 foot hill that separates where I reside from the next town to the East. At about $8-10 K less than a Seville, this car has the quality that Cadillac seems to have foresaken.

  A Perfect Car - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By lexuslady329 - August 23 - 8:20 pm

  My ES 330 is the best car Ive ever owned. Its incredibly spacious and comfortable, and stylish. The wood trim is the best Ive ever seen, I can drive for 10 hours without getting at all uncomfortable, and theres plenty of room to stretch out on long trips. The engine has plenty of power and gets very, very good gas mileage. The ride is super smooth and quiet, even on the freeway. I do all the maintenance and I havent had a single problem with it. I leased a 2002 ES 300 for 2 years and loved it so much that I traded it in and bought this new one. I would highly recommend ES 330s to anyone; Lexus has truly succeeded in its "passionate pursuit of perfection".

  More than Excellent - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By ASJ - August 14 - 10:00 am

  Owning this vehicle for about a year now, it has proven to be one of the most inteligently designed vehicles which I have driven in. The ES competition can include the 525, I30, and E320. While each of these other vehicles have a variety of options which set them apart, the simple reliability of the ES, along with its handling, acceleration and fuel economy (24mpg - in reality) give it an edge when matched up with the available DVD NAV and Mark Levinson sound system. This is definitly my favorite of the executive sedans.

  Wonderful Vehicle - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By RKO - July 20 - 10:00 am

  This is one of the finest vehicles Ive ever purchased. Its fun to drive, the Black Garnet turns heads and it is incredibly comfortable. For the money, you cant beat this vehicle. The added HP with the new transmission gives the 330 plenty of get up and go.

  Best Car I have Ever Owned - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By Lauren - June 8 - 2:36 am

  Bought this car in March 2009 after it came off of a 4yr lease. I was hesitant to buy a car over 4yrs old w/ 40k miles. I took it to my family mechanic for a complete inspection before buying. He said "only needs new brake pads and oil change." It’s very comfortable inside and rides smoothly. This car has been driven about a dozen times btwn FL-GA (450 miles each way) and we recently drove to NYC (2k r/t). The car rode great, gas mileage averaged about 25-28 on highway. I have never felt more safe in a car. Ill never buy anything but a Toyota or Lexus again!

  Great First - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By GavinJuly3 - April 11 - 11:10 am

  This car is great but would have suggested to G35 or GS or Ls for a more smooth luxury feeling. But Ive enjoyed this car so far and hope theres many more years to come.

  Car smells like rotten eggs - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By dlo - March 15 - 10:00 am

  Car is beautiful inside and out. However, at 10,000 miles it started smelling like rotten eggs. Lexus says just a product of gas in Oregon; however, not all ES 330s smell which is a mystery, says the dealership. Lexus customer service just says, tough luck. Very frustrated. Dealership hands are tied by Lexus who says they cannot change any parts to try to correct problem if vehicle is running to specs.

  Best Value Around - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By SpkInCT - March 12 - 4:36 pm

  My Lexus is a joy to drive. The seats and driving position are extremely comfortable on long drives. Fuel economy avg of 23 mpg in mixed driving. Havent experienced any of the complaints expressed by some on this website. Transmission works well. No pulling. Great Michelin tires (the no cost all season option). You get the most car for the money.
