  The smart ride - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By mark chase - November 13 - 4:33 am

  This car has a look, styling and feel of a real machine. The driver has everything in perfect position for ease of use. You really have a luxury ride in a sporty car. The seats are extremely comfortable as your body is wrapped inside. The car corners well and excellerates smoothly as use reach high speeds. I like riding it each day. It feels great.

  Beautiful car - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By Wilton - November 1 - 2:00 am

  After driving Accord and Maxima for more than 10 years, I decided to try another companys sedan. After reviewing Camry XLE and new Acura TL, I picked the ES330. Why? It has real luxurious interior, smooth engine and super quite body. I used to think Camry will do the same job like ES. I was wrong! If you want to know why, please go to the next car show and spend some time to compare them.

  There is nothing like a Lexus - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By Esquire - September 26 - 10:00 am

  Lexus has really outdone itself with the 2004 ES330. The car is beautifully designed, exquisitely appointed, and very well built with attention to every detail. In addition, it drives like a dream. The only thing that can compete with it is another Lexus. I can understand why the dealers insist on selling it as close to the sticker price as possible. It is worth every dime. Some of the German and Japanese competitors have good features as well, but none of them has the combination of beauty, luxury, perfect fit and finish, reliability, and value that this car has, at least not any car under $45,000 and few if any above that.

  Impressive - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By Steve Michaels - September 26 - 10:00 am

  Shopped for months, and test drove many models before the decision on the ES 330. My first import in more than 20 years. This is a beautiful automobile. First considered the Cadillac CTS, then the Infinity G35 (really nice sports car), but went for the comfort of the Lexus.

  The ES is a Junior LS - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By Chuck 3313 - September 20 - 2:00 am

  This is an excellent buy if you want to spend less and get a smaller LS in the Lexus line! The redesigned exterior brings it up to date finally, and the new engine is much better than previous ones.

  Excellent handling and stylish appearance and design. Luxurious interior. Very smooth and comfortable. Well worth the price...a smaller LS is what it is.

  Weird Shifting Trans - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By JGawry - August 2 - 2:00 am

  This car is smooth riding and comfortable, but the transmission is funky. If you accelerate quickly or slowly, it is fine. But, if you are in- between, or change your mind and let off the accelerator, the shifting gets confused and the transmission even slips occasionally. I would hope for a recall of some sort to fix this, once Lexus gets enough complaints.

  Lexus ES330 is Just luxury Camry - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By Paul Sneed - May 9 - 2:00 am

  Traded in a 2003 Camry for the ES330 Lexus. Ride and feel was the same. Controls are much the same. Gas Milage was less then the Camry. Overall the ES330 is just a Camry with more options and a higher price.

  Another Great Lexus - 2004 Lexus ES 330
  By johnp - May 9 - 2:00 am

  Recently traded my 02 ES300 for an 04 ES330. There are some significant differences. The extra 15 HP are an improvement. The new transmission no longer has the slow downshift issue. Interior design is great and the car is VERY comfortable. Steering/handling is tighter. The NAV system is very intuitive. This car is so good and so comfortable I just dont feel the need for a larger model.
