1997 Lexus ES300 review from North America
"Silky, smooth,and luxurious!"
General comments?
This car is beautiful..
I had a 1991 ES250 which was a gussied up Camry, then a 92 ES300 which still kind of seemed like a gussied up Camry, but it was a much, much, much more luxurious white offering a better warranty, sound quality, better ride/suspension, reliability, overall fit/finish, prestige and so on!
For 1997 Lexus designed the ES300 first and built the Camry as a cheap Lexus!. This is how it has been since 1992 and Lexus is still getting knocked with the "Camry look-a-like" term.
Test drive a 1997+ Lexus ES300, you'll love it and it will run circles around your Taurus, BMW and Mercedes etc. while costing less!
I love lexus.
