What do you think about the 2005 lexus es 330?

Question

we just bought one.

is it a good car?

how does it compare to other luxury cars?

for example, a BMW.

Answer 1

Rubber timing belt like BMW.You should have bought a Benz.

Answer 2

It's good if it came with NAV and you paid only $23K or less for it, otherwise, okay car.

We have it as a loaner vehicle for when we bring in our Lexus and it's good for it's price range and competition (Acura TL, Infiniti I class (no more) and other mid-range "luxury" vehicles) vehicles.  The inside is not as upscale in quality or fit-n-finish as the GS or LS, but it's typical Lexus quality and reliability.

Personally, comparison, it's better than a BMW, except that it's front-wheel-drive and not rear-wheel-drive like BMW's, but reliability is far better on Lexus.  You'll enjoy it more trouble free on the Lexus.

Answer 3

You did great!  Especially if you bought it as Lexus Certified which gives a 3 year/100,000 mile warranty together with roadside assistance.

About a year ago, Car and Driver magazine published a study which revealed that a 9 year old Lexus still brakes down less often than a year old Mercedes!

Also, newest study done by J. D. Power and Assoc. has Lexus as by far the most dependable manufacturer for the 14th consecutive year!

Answer 4

It's a great car.

It's compares well with other luxury vehicles. More reliable than any BMW and inexpensive to maintain.  

You made a really good choice.
