2006 Lexus ES 330 consumer reviews

A quiet ride but not as smooth as a longer wheel base luxury car. The styling is bland inside and out except for touches of polished wood. The lack of any flat spaces to put something on without reaching to the floor is inconvenient and the controls to the gps map are a mystery and nuisance in my view. The car tends to lurch when gliding to a slow stop followed by any reacceleration (like when a light changes or a yield sign allows you to speed up to merge into traffic) with no solution to eliminate it at the dealer. The GPS map is not up to date either and in two years hasn't had an upgrade available--even at the reportedly high price the dealer is expected to charge for the new DVD? Somewhat low and tight to get into this car is nevertheless a solid car for the not too high price for a near luxury vehicle.
