1994 Lexus ES300 review from North America

Speedometer, Tach, and Fuel Gauges Indicators have all faded and lost their illumination. Started at 65K and got prgressivly worse of 10 years until they were all out.

Power antennae had to be replaced once at 75K.

Rear brakes seized up at 175K.

Seats are a little crackled, but still in pretty good shape.

Oil leak out of a small valve at 65K.

Oxygen sensor went at 80K.

Windows go up and down slowly.

This is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. It was used as a commuter car for my wife (140 miles p/day between 97 & 00. Now it is being used again as a commuter car (100 MpD) with 180K miles on it.

This car has been extremely reliable. The problems listed above are all minor.

As long as you maintain this car, oil changes, etc it will be very good to you.

At 180K it still rides as if it were only a couple years old, and still has a lot of juice behind it.

I plan on driving it for another 100K miles, and have the confidence that it will last that long with minor repairs etc...

I liked this car so much, and the service at Lexus was so good, I bought a new 2000 RX. As to be expected the RX is just as reliable as the ES is.

As long as I can afford it, I will always buy Lexus automobiles.

This vehicle has held up very well. It is Black, and still looks as good as a 3 yr old car. To put it in perspective, I drive in upstate NY all year in the snow. I put studded snow tires on this car for 4 months out of the year, and it goes through 12 inches of snow.

I will have a very hard time ever thinking of selling this car.
