1997 Lexus ES300 Lux/Sport Sedan review from North America
"Isolation from the road, luxury not sporty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well there is this one weird noise that comes from the front right side of the car.
Everytime I accelerate I hear it, it's a winding noise, but after I hit 20mph its gone.
General comments?
Well for a "Sport Lux Sedan" I think the car carrys itself very well.
0-30mph... 3.2 Seconds.
0-60mph... 8.4 Seconds.
I think since the car is getting worn out things have been weird lately with the electric part of the car.
The front parking lights sometimes don't turn on (give it a hit) then it will.
The inside door lights don't work that often then again (give it a hit) then it will work.
