allexus Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 (edited) I'm going to purchase a new es330. It's for my wife. I drove the car and I felt that the steering was loose, another words I didn't feel the weight of the car. (I'm trying to explain it the best I can. You can steer the car with one finger. I have a infiniti G35 coup and the old car was a 2001 Honda Accord. On these cars I feel the weight of the car. Ok, The dealer stated, " that's the type of steering on the es. floating" Is this normal for this car. I also felt a little hesitation, between 0 to 5mph, only on slow pickup. electric throttle, That with I was told. I drive it for 15 minute and the steering and the hesitation I can live with it, Because I the only one feels ihestitation. Not my wife.

SW03ES Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 You're feeling the difference between cars that are designed to be sporty (The Accord and the G35) and a car that doesn't have a sporty bone in its body (the ES). It is normal. The hesitation is also normal on Lexuses because of their electronic throttle by wire system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
