The Lexus ES 330 operates in that middle ground marketers refer to with terms such as "near luxury" or "entry luxury." Like other cars in this class, the ES 330 is more luxurious than the top trim levels of mid-size sedans such as the Toyota Camry XLE, but they aren't as plush as true luxury sedans such as the Lexus LS 430.The ES delivers a smooth, refined ride. Its engine and transmission are smooth and its brakes are smooth. The cabin is very quiet. Lexus quality and attention to detail pervade. The 2005 Lexus ES 330 benefits from some interior enhancements over last year's model. It received major updates a year ago, including a larger engine that improved performance. If you want a smooth and quiet mid-size luxury sedan, you cannot do much better in this price range than the Lexus ES 330.
