Great value. Have received 6 yrs of reliable and comfortable driving pleasure for what seemed like an expensive car at the time.

The ES300 classic styling never gets boring, an important factor in a car I intend to keep.

Great review. For the most part I agree with you, but unfortunately I must express concern about the mechanical reliability. My 1997 Lexus has blown it's transmission. This event is unfortunate as it only has 80,000 miles. Lexus in Canada won't fix a transmission on their own product. It's a shame that they have shattered my confidence in the Lexus family because out of the 22 cars I've owned it was the one that gave me the most pride.
