WMichaels -

Actually as a Lexus ES330 owner here is a post that I can add with some driving experience. The Lexus line is beautiful and, particularly in Korea, extremely well supported. Service is simply fantastic. Our sales representative comes to our home to get the car for service. The car is returned within the day.

When we purchased the car, the Lexus dealer gave me golf bags and sports gear. I told them I don't play golf then they asked if I wanted golf lessons too. I haven't had the time. As for the ride - it is one big beautiful boat. It floats down the highway. Passengers and drivers are incased in a quiet driving environment - it is a boring car to drive. It reminds me of my old 1953 Belair Chevy; now that was a car.

Really the Lexus ES300 is a wonderful car those who do not like to drive - my wife for example. But if you like the feel of the road, and if you want a 4 door sedan, look at the IS300. I have not driven the sport roadster, but for the price there are several other cars I would prefer. One Lotus Elise - Crossfire SRT-6.
