2001 Lexus ES 300 - The car that lasts forever.

This car is an excellent investment, for so many reasons. The body style is simple and classic, and fits all styles and personalities. The leather seats add luxury, and are a great addition when you are toting around kids that may be messy. Easy clean up. The seat warmers are a huge bonus on a chilly fall day, but the automatic windows and moon roof let you let in the nice afternoon breeze if that is more your style. Whether running to the store, packing for a family trip, or moving to a dorm room, the car supports a huge and accommodating trunk as well. The quality of this vehicle is outstanding. Mile after mile, year after year, this car runs like a dream, and never once had a serious issue. The only thing I could say I did not like about this car, was that it did not have controls f...

Story

This is the car that I took to college, and I drove when I got my first job. It made the travel from Arkansas, to Louisiana, and then to Georgia. It went through all the "big stuff" with me.

Pros

My favorite features on this were the automatic windows and moon roof, the 6 CD changers, the seat warmers, and the seat memory that accommodated 2 drivers preferences.

Cons

I would have liked to have more controls on the steering wheel.

2001 Lexus ES 300 - Slight luxury

I have a 2001 Lexus es300. It is tan with leather interior. The leather has started to crack and age a while ago so it is not in the best condition. It has really begun to show it's age after 13 years and I feel it is time to move onto another car.

Story

Yes, I have taken my son to many sports events in this car. We have gone from hotel to hotel for wrestling events and one time even staying in the car over night because we locked our selves out of our room.

Pros

It is a very comfortable ride and is surprisingly quick. It fits a family of four very easily and can fit a family of five with surprisingly well for a four door coupe. It is a Lexus so it has its extra benefits. It has heated seats, power seats, and a six disc radio. It was very reliable for the first ten years. My kids have really enjoyed it and has been very good to us. It has great fuel mileage which has allowed me to save money. Compared to my mustang it requires a lot less money spent on the gas.

Cons

Unfortunately it has become unreliable and has been a hassle to upkeep. I feel like I am constantly needing to change my breaks and rotors. There have been electrical issues as well as fuses being blown quite frequently. The leather is fading and cracking at an increasing rate and doesn't look very clean anymore. The paint is literally peeling off the car. I have needed to spend a lot of money on mechanical issues and have overall just felt like it is time to move on from this car.
