1992 Lexus ES300 3.0G review from Australia and New Zealand
"Exceptional Lexus quality and Toyota reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gauge indicators flicker.
Factory stereo amplifier very quiet.
Transmission starting to give trouble, rough changes.
General comments?
My car is a Toyota Windom which is the Toyota version of the Lexus ES300.
Exceptional value as Lexus has a several thousand dollar premium over the Toyota version of the same car. In fact, the Windom is even cheaper than a Toyota Camry of similar year and specification on which both the ES300 and windom are based.
Absolute impeccable condition for a vehicle of 14 years old! Upholstery is almost as good as new on seats and door trims. There are no rattles, except loose change in the ashtray.
