Lexus Es330 Questions

[Birdhouse]

Hello all,

I would like to know has anyone bought the new 2004 Lexus Es330?

Does it have transmission problems like the Es300 models? Are there any good sites that review this car model?

I am asking because I am thinking of buying this car pretty soon, but would like to know if there are any known problems beforehand.

I currently have a car that has 200 horsepower @5,000rpm, but it is a coupe car (3,000lbs.).

Looking at the 2004 Lexus Es330 it is rated at 225 horsepower, but it is also around 500lbs. heavier. Would this cancel each other ratings out? Because my car has lower horsepower, but lighter weight and the Lexus Es300 has a faster engine, but heavier weight. So would I feel a difference in the extra 25 horsepower, please give me some insight on what you people think here.

I am going to buy a $40,000 car I hope it doesn't let me down (engine performance wise).

Anybody with information about this car model please type away. B)

Thanks,

Birdhouse :)

Welcome to the site!

Run a search and look around the forum here, lots of info on the ES330 and we have a couple members with them.

I feel that mine has more then enough power, but thats me. You have to drive the car to know for sure if its enough for you.
