Xtreme Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Beautiful colour!Ash interior is very nice as well I should have got the chrome rims!!! Dealer never tells you anything! ← I'm glad I got the rims. The door handles and rims match up really nicely against the darker color of the car. I almost didn't get them but, the dealer finally agreed to sell them for half of what they originally quoted me for them. All in all, I very happy with the car so far. I am also pleased with some of the looks I get from people when they see it but, I am a little frustrated at having to worry so much about where I park it so it doesn't get dinged. I guess that comes with the territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the looks of your car but personaly I feel the wheels set off any car. And yours is no exception the wheels the color very nice. Keep parking it away from other cars.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Very nice, if I were buying the ES nowadays I would buy the Blue Shale Mica with a black interior, still interesting but not as difficult to maintain as the Black Garnet.

Like toyota does 1.9% or 2.9% I was wondering if lexus ever does this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backspin9 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Congrats on your purchase. I bought an 05 ES in October with 5200 miles on it. I took it in to have the personalized settings done and asked about the trans issue. They said my car fell within the VIN number range for the "shift feel enhancement" upgrade and that it would take about 500 miles or so for the car to "learn" my driving habits. I have not experienced and trans hesitation at all and the cars shifts as smooth as silk. So far, I've been very happy with it and it seems either Lexus or the dealer calls me every other week to see how it's doing. It's nice their concerned -- but it's kind of weird. I'm also getting card and letters. I guess I'm not used to that level of service, which so far, has been excellent. My biggest concern was that the gas mileage isn't quite what it was supposed to be but I'm told that should improve once the trans adapts to my driving. I'm really loving the heated seats with the onset of the cold Chicago winter and I have to say, this car heats up faster than any other car I've ever had.
