  First Time Lexus Owner - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By Pepper - April 30 - 5:00 am

  Purchased a pre-owned 330 with 5000 miles. Very good overall vehicle. Thoroughly enjoy long drives and the sense of watching your travels on a large plasma screen when you nestle in the front seat and enjoy the window and roof views.

  Close enough to flawless to nitpick - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By myckey - April 28 - 2:00 am

  Great handling for non-sports car. Michelin energys dont cut it; needs snow tires. Mileage dissapointing 19- 20MPG city/highway combined. GPS awsome and Mark Levinson stereo even better. Those who object audio controls on GPS screen are crazy; much better and easier than fiddling with dials located below line of sight. Get the xenons, which make a world of difference at night. Cant say enough positive about dealer. While there are better looking cars, faster cars and better handling cars, all within the same price range, I bought this car for the luxury, quality, service and value, and what the heck, my wife liked it and it is her car.

  High quality car at an attractive price - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By GVK - March 29 - 10:00 am

  There is a lot to like with no weaknesses. The interior fitted with leather and wood and the luminescent speedomter cluster compares favorably with the high priced luxury sedans. The new bigger engine provides more than adequate acceleration. Add in Lexus reliability, fit and finish, a good sound system, good fuel economy and a low price, and you have an attractive car.

  Love my new SportDesign ES330 - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By chgoRX300 - March 11 - 10:00 am

  Just got my 2nd Lexus 2 weeks ago! Lease due in Dec.2004 but Lexus wants to keep their happy customer offered me a 6 mo. payment waiver program. Basically I drop off my 42 mo. old RX300 and bought a new ES330 without any hassle. I picked the SportDesign Special Edition which has a sportier looking wheel and Black-eye Maple wood trim and smoky black finish in the back, GPS and ML is the best in the market, rear sun shade is cool. The ride is quieter than my RX300 (SUV) and the engine runs silkily smooth. I already have over 500 miles on my new baby.

  Long term winner - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By Davidinbend - January 27 - 8:33 pm

  Our friends said we overpaid for a "fancy Camry". Now we are laughing because this car is as good as new. They all have had to trade for new cars and cant believe our Lexus runs and looks so good after four years. Not one mechanical problem,great highway mileage and the navi/Levinson setup ROCK.

  he who hesitates is lost - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By paulinpennsylvania - December 17 - 10:00 am

  Car rides nicely. Big problem with hesitation when you get off the gas then on again or come to a stop and try to go immediately thereafter ( 1 to 1 and 1/2 second delay). If you get off the gas under hard acceleration and back on the gas the transmission gets confused. pulls to left slightly. With regards to hesitation, Lexus says the car is "functioning as designed". They have no plans to fix it at all. If you leave your key in ignition and headlights are on, the lights wont shut off automatically if you accidently do not shut your door tightly.(I already gat 1 dead battery for this reason. Im going back to Audi. (They care about their customers).

  Lexus ES300 Review - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By Mr.WJB - November 21 - 10:00 am

  This is my 4th Lexus in 9 years and by far the best. The quality, comfort, handling characteristics and luxury can not be beat at the price.

  Best Car Yet - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By RoBro - November 15 - 2:00 am

  Quick acceleration, smooth yet agile handling, and you can hear a pin drop. ...as long as the cabin fan is on low. All controls are easily accessible and the interior is luxuriously appointed. The icing on the cake was the dealer, Hendrick Lexus, in Charlotte; words simply cannot describe how advanced they are in customer service.
