2004 Lexus ES300 from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

ES model will be discontinued by replacing GS model.

But, it looks much better than the new GS. (Luxury and Grand outlooking)

Perfect outlooking

Perfect quality

Perfect transmission. I prefer the range between 0-60 and 80-120km/hr.

Great Review and well written. I just bought two Lexus 300 and could not be happier. The navagation system is a dream and the ride and mileage could not be more pleasant.

To me, the ES300 look just like a Camry. I have a 2006 ES300.I traded a 2004 Toyota Camry for it. The Camry drives better than the ES300.I'm still glad I bought the ES300. Lexus LS430 is next.

I bought a new Lexus ES300 in Dec-2005 and I enjoy driving it. It is a spacious & comfortable car at a reasonable price.

I had experienced other brands in the past 15 years including those made in Germany and Japan.

Lexus ES300 is the best of all so far.

I bought my Lexus ES300 at end-2005 and found a small defect on the coating of the woodgrain steering wheel 2 days after it was delivered to me. The defect was like a crack on the lacquer coating of the steering wheel. A month later, I found yet another crack on the wheel, this time, it was bigger.

I discussed with car experts and was told that the defects were probably caused by formation of coating on the substrate that was not properly treated in the car factory. Lexus has now agreed to replace the steering wheel for me.

I do not know where did you hear about the discontinue of ES production. but check the Lexus website, there`s even 07 version of the new ES coming out.

The ES300 has being discontinued in Australia, from what I heard it was because of the introduction of the IS250 or it could have been the GS, but I could be wrong.

I owned an ES350 for a year, it is a great automobile, the only thing I noticed was little paint chipping in the front head light, but I am not sure if this was a small rock that hit it in the high way. This is an excellent car. My wife traded it for (believe it or not) a Mini Cooper!!!
