1994 Lexus ES300 review from North America
"Quality, Luxury, Performance and Style in 1 package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Parking brake kits fell apart causing the back tires to lock. luckily the car was barely moving at the time.
Driver's side heated seat stopped working.
Keyless entry occasionally doesn't respond.
General comments?
I really like this car. It doesn't look anywhere near the 12 years old it is.
My only major complaints are the front seats are very uncomfortable for long trips and the trunk is pretty small considering the size of the car.
I particularly like the 2-tone red that was offered on these cars, which is what mine is. The black leather interior is holding up very well, just the steering wheels is starting to show wear signs.
Dealer servicing is a joke. I will never take it there again
