This car is dependable and easy to drive. Very relaxing and smooth - the V6 engine is nice to have. It has a few dents and dings and the interior is a little rough. All in all, why would one pay $1950 for an old Nissan or Honda when they can ride in style with this 96 Lexus ES 300 - With all the bells and whistles?Nov 07, 2013

I've had this car for six years and have put 62,000 miles on it since I bought it with 104,000.
In that time, the major expenses have been timing belts, a new starter, suspension, brakes, and one fuel injector.
Recently replaced the alternator and belt, but did it myself. For a Lexus, it was actually an easy job.
Good gas mileage; upper teens for city, and around thirty on the highway.
This car has performed flawlessly on three cross country trips.Nov 27, 2011

Great car in terms of luxury, build, and reliability. It is right at
home on the highway and cruises at 80+ with the air on with
absolute ease. If shopping for a car of this age I would only buy this car or another Lexus.Jun 28, 2010

This car drives like a bat out of hell! But its looks are deceiving... The car looks good, but it has one major flaw... The cup holder and the cigarette lighter cant be used at the same time... very ridiculous. The car has good milage if you drive it calmly, but its hard not to with its v6. This car is very fun and very reliable. I have only had a few problems since I got it.Apr 04, 2009

springs r way too soft. crazy ass body roll. acceleration is great but is very lacking on hills. braking is good but there is enormous amounts of body roll. still handles alright though. My car specifically does not handle bumps AT ALL. need to go less than 5mph for ANY bumps. hopefully this is just my car and not the whole lineup. Seems to be of great build quality as the chassis has gone through 170k miles and is still doing great. Few squeaks but i think its more from the suspension than nything. Interior is very good, I have full leather with premium sound system stock. Exterior is fine... not much to say. The car takes any grade of gas because the ecu learns to adjust for it. however, you get better performance and reaction time from the car with premium gas. You may also get better mileage with premium gas. Maintenance-wise, its normal wear and tear from more than 10 years of use with 170k miles. there are things that need repairs. The car is fun to drive to some extent.... definitely not a sports car. However, recommend it very much as lexus puts many features in the car.Dec 19, 2008
