2001 Lexus ES300 review from North America
"Best 4 door car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ABS sensor indicator light came on around 25,000 miles. Noticed no difference in drive, but brought it in for service for sensor light as well as a scheduled maintenance. Minor part replaced, car still under warranty so no charge. Very minor problem and I wish all the cars that I have owned have been so trouble free!
General comments?
I have owned much more expensive cars than the Lexus ES300, and the only thing the Lexus lacks compared to them is speed- I would prefer 0-60 somewhere in the 6-7 range. But that costs about 15,000+ in price-something I can live without. Also, this car has been a gem as related to reliability. Great car.
