    Had an ES300 for about 8 years and loved it so much that we bought an ES330 and gave the other car to our daughter. Never have had a problem with our Lexus.

    Lexus 330 I have had this automobile only two weeks and each time I drive it I enjoy it more. It is the finest driving car I have ever owned and that includes two Mercedes-Benz cars, one BMW, one Audi, two Cadillacs, one Lincoln and assorted others.

  • Oh What A Feeling... - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    While searching for a Luxury Sedan I looked at them all, It came down to the BMW 525i and the ES330. I loved the BMW exterior but the interior did not do too much for me, and the handling was a bit too "sporty" for my liking. I took one look inside the ES330 and it felt like a dream come true, The test drive was fabulous, the car was luxury all of the way, but still fun to drive. The cabin was so quiet, and comfortable. I cannot imagine owning another make of car in the future. I choose the Alabaster and loaded it up to the gills with all of the toys, including the Nav System.I have had it just over a week and already I am in love.

  • A Pleasant Ride - 2004 Lexus ES 330

    I had a full cup of coffee in a travel mug in the open cup holder. When I changed gears, my hand hit the cup (because its taller than the holder) and a small amount of the liquid splashed from the cups lid.

  • Awesome Driving Experience - 2004 Lexus ES 330

    We drove and compared the 330ES to the Acura, Volvo, BMW, Accord and Camry. By far the best handling vehicle of them all. A smooth quiet ride like I have never experienced before. Interior is elegant and comfortable. the people at the Lexus dealership treated us wonderfully, all and all agreat car and a great experience. I am sold on Lexus. A whole lot of car for the money.

  • Absolutely flawless - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    Ive driven dozens of cars and nothing under $40 K comes close to the quiet and luxury of this car. Nothing. Absolutely nothing to complain about - particulary since the 2004 is less expensive and more powerful than the 03. Great car.

    The main things about this car are the good solid feel of it, the handling, ride comfort, etc. The color, alabaster, is trememdous in not needing washing often.

  • SIMPLEY SUPERB - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    My white 2004 Lexus ES330 sparkles like a diamond. The ride is quiet, smooth and luxurious, and the 225 HP 3.3 V6 is responsive, powerful and agile. The added leather/wood steering wheel and shift handle gives it an eye-catching extra that gets great comments from all admirers. Way to go LEXUS!

  • CAR DID ITS JOB PROTECTING HUMAN LIFE... - 2004 Lexus ES 330
    By -

    During my ownership I have not had a single issue with the car despite purchase with 206,000 previous miles... Ive driven 40-50k miles on it each year for the past 3 years. It has never been in the shop for anything other than oil changes every 3,000 miles, timing belts, brakes, fluids, etc. Engine pulls very strongly and the transmission is smooth. If you take care of these cars, they will take excellent care of you. Car is quiet and well composed. Sitting inside the car one cannot hear the engine unless you floor it, then a confident growl will emit from the hood under hard acceleration. What leaves my head spinning is the structural solidity and safety of this car. Thursday evening I was (HIT AND RUN) struck by a semi who switched lanes and failed to see me. The force of the impact slammed me off the highway and authorities estimate my car rolled a dozen times. My sunroof was open and my phone and wallet flew out during the rollover. The side curtain airbags deployed as expected and created a safety blanket that shielded me from glass and road debris. the EMTs arrived and found me with not a single scratch. They were absolutely shocked that I walked away unharmed. Of course the car was a total loss and my insurance company called me the next day and offered me just south of 7,000 towards another vehicle. I was crying as it was towed not only because my car fought so valiantly to protect me, but because of the bond Ive formed with - a machine
