Anybody else amazed by the composure under braking? Lots of dive, yes, but then the car settles back, and...that's it. No back and forth, no up and down, just one wave of response, then back to level. Very impressive damping.

Here in 2024, I have an 03 ES300 with 205xxx miles. And for a 21 year old car with over 200k. It's still buttery smooth and well assembled. This car is so good I really don't want to upgrade
@stephenumphress57057 күн бұрын
03 ES300 owner here. Just hit 280K miles and still running strong. Hell, oil still looks pretty clean after 3K miles. This is hands downl the most reliable car I’ve ever owned or even driven. More reliable than any friend or family members’ cars… regular maintenance is the key. Having a garage to park in most of its life doesn’t hurt much either 😉

4th Gen ES from 02-06 is the best Gen ever. 2nd to the LS430. Bought my one owner in April 2021 w 160k miles. Now have 179k miles and it’s a quiet as new. No creaks or rattles. Level of quality and craftsmanship is unparalleled. Within the first two years I did have to replace some original OEM parts. Timing belt, valve cover gasket and water pump all Replaced at 88K miles. Original owner had all service done at a Lexus dealership.

Two years ago I fell into some extra cash. I was planning on selling my current car a just pay cash for an older vehicle for the time being. Test drove two different model years of this generation at two different Stealerships 2005 & 2006. Both were nice but both had overhead during my Test drive. I did read some model years having that issue . Have a extra co worker of mine that still owns hers and has never had any major issues. My favorites generation of the ES are the 1992, 1997 and brand new 2020.
