2005 Lexus ES 330 consumer reviews

I bought my ES330 in Nov '05 used with 12,000 miles under the Lexus Certified Used Car from a local Lexus Dealer. I have always owned American made cars, thought i would try out Lexus. This has been absolutely the best car i have ever owned. Comfortable ride, quiet, reliable, handles great, impressive styling -exterior and interior. Definitely worth the money. Haven't had any major problems owning this car. I was always taking my GM, Chryslers back for repairs. After owning this car, I will NOT go back to American Cars again. Im thinking about buying another Lexus.

I bought this car in July 2013.. It is a 2005 with 42,000 miles. I have owned many vehicles, even newer lastly a 2010 Prius level 4 (on lease). My second Prius and they are great cars. This ES330 is the most amazing vehicle. The most quiet car I have ever owned. I have not even had a chance to figure out all the goodies but know the stereo is amazing already. I will have this car for a very very long time and doubt it would be replaceable! Living in Phoenix I have never had such awesome cooled seats, along with the tinted windows and power rear shade the hat is not even noticeable. Amazing vehicle!

The second Lexus that I've owned. Most reliable, comfortable, quiet, cars I've ever owned. I would highly recommend one for any new or used car purchase.

This car may be destined to become a classic. Mine is 8 years old. Looks and drives like it was brand new. The finish is still fresh looking and the trim has not faded or deteriorated. We bought it used off a dealer's lot. giving him a car that was in very high demand at the time so we got a very good deal. We just finished a 2,400 mile round trip from Phoenix to Kansas City and back. Averaged 25 mpg and around 70mph. Smooth as silk. We used to take 3 or even 4 days for the trip in our other cars because they were uncomfortable to ride in. We now take 2 days and are not tired at all. This car handles very well. We went down US-54 through Kansas which is mostly two lanes. Passing was never a problem. Punch it and we were easily around even the big trucks. Going from 65 to 85 is pretty easy. I have only one complaint. The trunk could be bigger and the seats could be fold downs (though that might make them uncomfortable).

This is the nicest car I ever owned. I have had it 5 years and have gotten so many compliments on the ride and interior and exterior looks. The ride is very comfortable and quiet. Great car!

I originally had two Mercedes benz and wanted to try out a Lexus and so far I am very, very impressed with the styling, comfort and performance. Great car to have

I am so glad that i found this car online even though i'm just browsing,and i fell in love with this one and bought after 2 days.Not just dependable,it is reliable car!.It's my New Baby!!!

i love the black interior and the sunroof. it could be fit for anyone. my grandma is looking for a car and i think it is perfect for her.

I think they made a grave mistake when they quit making the ES model Lexus. This is the best handeling, most put together, optioned car I have ever owned. The styling is wonderful. I would recommend this car to anyone.

The ES330 is a good buy if you're looking for something for the long term. We bought ours 2 years old under the Certified Used Program from the local dealership and haven't had any major problems yet (at the 3 month check-up, we had some light-bulbs replaced, but that was it). The handling is pretty good, although not very tight around sharp corners. Acceleration is excellent, but takes a quick second for the engine to shift gears. Going downhill is funny, as the car downshifts to a really high RPM. The navigation system is pretty good, and the Mark Levinson sound system is absolutely fantastic. Definitely worth the money. Also, the Lexus dealership is staffed by wonderful people who are incredibly helpful and gracious.
