Potential

Lackluster styling and price of vehicle with options is over the top. Vehicle tight on the inside for 6 footers, even with seat extended engine will certainly be lackluster as care age.

Smooth reliability

I bought my 06 es330 used and am amazed at how smooth yet powerful, and how amazingly quiet it drives. Its relaxing even in bumper to bumper traffic after a hard days work. With all the slow traffic, I now wonder why Ive always bought sports cars when I never get to use the performance that I paid for. With all the older ES's I see in amazing condition, I get a strong feeling it'll be reliable for a long time to come. Highly recommended.

Best and the most reliable car I've owned

I purchased this car in Dec. 07 as a used car. It was pure joy to drive something so comfortable. I never owned any Lexus before. For some reasons I always drove German cars. But from now on I will stay with Lexus. Simply I love it.

Horrible Car

Absolutely the worst car I've ever owned. I was duped into believing that Lexus was a well built and reliable auto. Boy was I wrong. I bought this car new and had problems with it almost immediately. First the transmission, then a major hesitation when accelerating. Numerous squeaks and rattles after about 14,000 miles. Never experienced the purported Lexus service technicians who'll do whatever it takes to resolve issues. I dumped it with 46,000 and would never consider another Lexus product again. I bought a 2008 Cadillac CTS and it is far and away a superior auto in every respect.

Great Car

We bought a 2006 Lexus ES330 for my wife to drive. She couldn't be happier and I have to admit it is a fine car. Everything from the dealer to the salesman to the car itself is first rate.

Very disappointed in Lexus

The Lexus ES330 has a problem with the engine transmission. There is a noticeable hesitation when the vehicle is slowed, as in a left turn or for a changing traffic light, and then is accelerated. It feels like the engine is "missing." The reason for this was explained by the service department and said Lexus "was working on a fix for the problem." They also said the problem was rectified in the new model - that it had to do with the five speed transmission. I am personally aware of other dissatisfied owners who have traded their vehicles.

The smoothest ride I have had in a long time

Wonderful riding vehicle, and nice looking on the streets. The only negative I found was that there is not a lot of storage available inside the car (other than the trunk). The console has a single cd player and a charger for a phone.
