    The cars ride and comfort is great! The transmission is some what to be desired. Rough shifting and hesitation on exceleration. Repair shops just says that the way it is. There is nothing they can do.

  • Lexus ES 330 is a Winner - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    We purchased this car used. It gets an average 29 MPG (street and highway combined), has plenty of power, interior leg room, great looks and its easy to do oil changes. The trunk mouth is smaller than I would like but so far it hasnt been a problem. Also, the trunk can only be opened from the interior or via a button on the key. There is no key lock on the exterior. On cold days the seat heater is a plus. Theres a multi CD player and a cassette player. This car handles extremely well at any speed and has not been in for any major repair. The drive is very smooth and quiet and feels very sturdy. The biggest surprise has been the gas mileage. I am very impressed with this car.

  • ABSOLUTELY SUPERB! - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    My 2004 Lexus ES330 is absolutely SUPERB all around. I loved my old 2000 ES 300, but this 2004 is even better. It is smoother, quieter, more powerful, gets better milage, more luxurious, more beautiful inside & outside and just oozes quality all over. The new ES 330 is the best mid-luxury car on the road.

    My prior daily driver was a Mercedes C320. The Lexus is quieter, bigger, more comfortable, better equipped, and significantly less expensive. Im a convert!

  • 1st Time Lexus Owner - 2004 Lexus ES 330

    The comfortable ride, safety features and warranty helped us to choose the ES 330. We looked at the high end Toyota Avalon & found that we were just about on par price wise with the ES 330. So, we looked, we drove, we researched & we bought. The step up which included a more refined automobile & the 4yr/50K basic, 6yr/70K power train was well worth it. I look forward to many enjoyable years behind the wheel of my ES 330.

  • Best in Class - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    I have owned this vehicle for about 6 months now, and enjoy it more than my 2002 BMW 530i. I have never experienced any problems with this car, and do not expect to. The quality, comfort level, silent drive, and sound system is the best when compared to a BMW, Lincoln, or Volvo. I will never step into a different dealership again. Test one out for yourself.

  • Awesome - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    I had been driving BMWs since the early 80s and decided to see what all the talk was about a LEXUSs reliabiltiy. I drive around the bay Area M-F and needed comfort and a car that would not be in the shop every few months. So far, this car has been a dream to drive: quiet, smooth and comfy beyond belief! I do not miss the performance of the Beemers-- more focused on comfort& luxury- guess I am getting older.... and the Lexus is my reward!
