This car overall has been one of my favorite vehicles. I bought it pre-family/pre-marriage and it took me well into life with 2 kids. I put over 175k miles on the vehicle and the quality of it's parts and finishes held up well to the wear that everyday life placed on the car. It's very roomy (this was a big benefit when I married someone who is 6'5") and although it may not be the most eye catching cars it does have classic style. It's reliability was great thanks to Toyota quality. It had a smooth ride from the day I drove it home to the day I sold it, and it held a good resale value compared to other cars.

The Lexus ES300 is a classic ride, combining style, form and function. The stylish exterior has stood the test of time, with its sporty, sedan comfort and quality. Interior touches such as warm rosewood trim rivals that of more expensive European models. The leather upholstery has an upscale fit and finish, with lumbar supports in driver and passenger seats providing comfort even on long cross-country trips. Interior noise levels are minimal, with no wind noise or rattling. All controls are well-placed within easy reach of driver at all times. Although the car may not be the fastest off the start line, its cruising comfort, stable ride and road handling capabilities make up for any 0-60 mph lackluster performance. The interior space provides plenty of headroom for even taller adults, with adequate legroom for backseat passengers. Large trunk space accommodates several large suitcases for longer road trips. The basic sound system provides plenty of volume, and there is an upgraded sound system available too. All in all, the Lexus ES300 is a dependable, comfortable ride for five passengers and can go the distance, providing hundreds of thousands of miles of style and comfort.
