2005 Lexus ES330 Road Test

Lexus has probably done more than any other car company in the last decade and a half to raise the overall quality standards of mass-produced vehicles worldwide. Whether the yardstick is measuring luxury, comfort, performance or dependability, Lexus products have set benchmarks over and over again. For 2005, the Japanese manufacturer has added a little more polish to its entry-level luxury sedan, the ES330. My tester was finished in a deep Oasis Green Pearl, which contrasted smartly with the supple, Cashmere-hued leather interior.
