  • Beware of 2004 Transmission - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    I purchased an ES330 based on the Lexus reputation. The transmission hesitates when changing gears. Lexus states the transmission is OK and there is nothing they can do about the hesitation in shifting gears. So much for Lexus quality.

    Safe, smooth as silk, luxurious, and fun! All in one beautiful solid shell. I love it!

  • Transmission - 2004 Lexus ES 330

    Very nice car except for transmission shifting characteristics at low speed acceleration and deceleration. Lexus needs to hire some new engine/throttle control/transmission integration engineers. Very anoying waiting for transmission to shift gears.

    Ive owned this car for 10 years. NEVER had an issue with anything. Would HIGHLY recommend purchasing a Lexus. They are reliable and provide comfort and a very smooth ride.

    This is our 4th Lexus over the past 10 years. Reliability and dependability are the best! The ES330 is an excellent mid-size vehicle for mostly local driving. I prefer the LS430 for longer trips.

  • ES 330 Sport Design - 2004 Lexus ES 330

    This is my second Lexus. I first had the IS 300 and was looking for a car that handled the snow better. So far my ES 330 has not been a disappointment. I feel safe in this car and I also feel that due to the superior braking ability that this car had saved my life. The fuel economy is great considering the weight of the car. The car is also very quiet and solid with no loose parts that rattle when driving. I also love my rear sun shade that keeps the sun glare out of my car when sunny it also keeps my car cool on hot days.

  • Not well-equipped - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    The Lexus ES330 is a beautiful car, perhaps the most beautiful and aerodynamic exterior in its class. The interior is classy and tasteful too. A car worth admiring, but not necessarily worth purchasing. Compared with Acura TL 2004, this car seriously lacks some useful features.
