1998 Lexus ES 300

Pros: Reliability, dealer experience, warranty

Cons: price, size (a little small for back seat passengers).

The Bottom Line: It won't be your last Lexus. The ES 300 is a great car.

Review: Purchased 1998 ES 300 used from Dealer in August 2001. Vehicle had come in off lease with 24K miles. Currently have 39K miles on vehicle. Lexus certified used cars are a wonderful alternative to a new car. Vehicle has performed as new and at 39K is...

Pros: Well Built

Cons: None

Review: The ES300 is one of the nicest car in its class. It is similar to numerous other mid-sized luxury cars. Some may even call it full sized, but I guess it is all in the eye of the beholder. I think of even bigger cars when I look at "full-sized"...

Pros: Handles well, very comfortable, well designed and built

Cons: pricey

Review: I'll probably never look at driving the same way because this was the car I learned to drive on. I still can't think of a single thing to complain about, and I've never driven another car that came near to this one. I couldn't hear a noise while...

Pros: Full package a a great price.

Cons: Nothing I have found yet

Review: This is the first as e-pinions calls it near luxury car that I've owned but in my opinion,it is truly a LUXURY automobile. For the price, you can't beat it. Try finding a $30,000 car that is fully loaded, has leather interior, and an engine that could...

Pros: Luxury,Quite, Roomy

Cons: PRICE for a Lexus nameplate

Review: We have owned our ES 300 for one year and spent $33,000 with all the options but our neighbor bought a loaded Camry for 24,000 that when parked side by side they are basically the same . Lift the hood and the same engine with different name plates . The...

Pros: Quiet & smooth ride

Cons: Limited head room in back seats

The Bottom Line: A beautiful luxury car that is easily obtainable and will be the envy of your friends.

Review: This car will last forever! I bought it new and it has been one of the best decisions I've made. Soft leather seats which can be heated is a must-have for the harsh winter months. Dash is remarkably clear and easy to read, especially at night - very...

Pros: Great quality, comfort, handling and performance

Cons: A little cramped in the rear

Review: I compared the ES300 to a number of similar cars and found that there isn't much that truly compares with it in its class. In the nearly three years that I have had it, it has needed no maintenance other than scheduled service. This impresses me as I...

Pros: I carried a beach umbrella through the hole in the arm rest.

Cons: I wish I could have it forever. No other car in the horizon for me.

Review: When I test drove it through a construction site, it won me over. I bought it with 65,000 miles and it now has 186,000 and I have had NO problems. I put synthetic oil and baby it with weekly car washes. Black on black baby, I feel like Carmella ...

Pros: Sharp looking, many creature comforts, plenty of power and very reliable.

Cons: Back seat is for kids and those that can be mistaken for one.

The Bottom Line: Even if you see one with over 100,000 miles, if it was treated right, she probably has another 100g in her if you give the car the same care.

Review: My mother-in-law sold my wife this car as she upgraded to the 2005 Lexus LS 430. The '98 Lexus ES 300, 4 door is a very nice car with a peppy 6 cylinder, 3.0 litre affording you 200 horses under the hood. This is plenty enough engine to get you around, ...

Pros: Nice car, because it's a Lexus

Cons: too much like the Camry

Review: Well, this is a nice car and all that, but why not just get a toyota camry xle v6. It's basically the same thing as the es300. Thought it is not totally like the Camry, it has a better engine and a smoother ride, but that is the main difference. You are...
