I have a 2004 ES 330 that we purchased with 101K miles. We had it on our lot for sale and my wife fell in love. She still loves the car. yes, it has the quirky transmission. It just seems that the electronics get confused sometimes. We now have 153K miles and soon plan to give this car to my son for 2 years, then to my youngest son for 2 years. should the transmission be better in a luxury car, YES. Would I buy another one?? In a very fast minute I would surely buy another. My wife is in real estate and runs my kids around all over town. In 3 years of ownership I have had to repair 2 brake calipers, everything else was maintenance. Today I spent about $500 for 2 tires, 2 new belts, rubber bushings for the back and replaced a rusty heat shield between the exhaust and the gas tank. now the car is quiet again. I can live with it! Still way cheaper than buying a new car!
