Awesome, reliable & strong Now this 2000 ES300 is 19 years old and is going strong! It beat our top of the line Lexus. It isn’t as smooth or quiet as the LS400, but this is a much smaller car. It still rides smooth and I’ve only had to get new tires 2xs, replace the spark plugs, O2 sensor and alternator.

Does the 2002 Lexus es300 have an interference engine?
21 Answers But from what I can conclude 2002 Lexus ES 300 DOES NOT have an interference engine. The fact that it runs at all, however poorly, means that your belt is not broken, for one thing. If it was broken the cam would not be turning and the valves would not be opening/closing and that means no run.
Is the 2001 Lexus ES300 better than the 2008 BMW 3-series?
I’ve spent time in a 2008 BMW 3-Series, and truthfully, my 2001 Lexus ES300 feels higher quality (everything is solid, not loose), looks higher quality (materials), and will last longer. Almost forgot, gas mileage. Now from my calculations, I’m getting a combined figure around 18.5mpg, not exactly great by today’s standards.
When did you buy your ES300?
I bought my ES300 back in Oct. 2009 after reading over Edmunds and various other websites. I finally caved in and traded my old 1997 MB C230 (210k mi, saggy headliner, expensive to maintain) for a more reliable car. While looking for cars like newer Accords & Camrys, I lucked up and this appeared locally on a car lot.
What is it like to drive a Nissan ES300?
Steering is direct, but smooth and light. Not too light though, not like newer Toyota’s where it feels like there’s no resistance, the ES300 has the perfect feel for daily driving around town (or freeway too) all while giving great feel. Interior wise, for its time, just oozes quality.
