Key strengths: this car has been a gem as related to reliability
Areas for improvement: ABS sensor indicator
The ABS sensor indicator light came on around 25,000 miles. Noticed no difference in drive, but brought it in for service for sensor light as well as a scheduled maintenance. Minor part replaced, car still under warranty so no charge. Very minor problem and I wish all the cars that I have owned have been so trouble free!I have owned much more expensive cars than the Lexus ES300, and the only thing the Lexus lacks compared to them is speed- I would prefer 0-60 somewhere in the 6-7 range. But that costs about 10,000+ in price-something I can live without. Also, this car has been a gem as related to reliability. Great car. The running costs for Lexus ES Automatic are normal
