1994 Lexus ES300 review from North America
"The best combination of luxury, comfort and economy I've ever found"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Three window linkages have failed.
One segment on each of the illuminated dash needles (speedometer and tachometer) have burned out.
Rear driver's side door child safety lock is disabled.
Check engine light has come on once - dealer says that a transmission servo misbehaved, but the light has since gone out without intervention and the transmission behaves properly.
General comments?
Finest car I have ever owned.
Comfort is top-notch.
Styling is impeccable, and it really feels good to drive - still turns heads.
Plenty of power for my driving style, and decent mileage to boot.
Dealer service rates are astronomical, but anybody who works on Toyotas can work on this car.
