- In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2005 Lexus ES330. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
I just got my Sage Green, Grey interior 05 this past week. It was a one owner garaged car. Perfect interior. I’m so happy I researched this model and now I own my very own. Hard work and patience pay off. To think that 2 yrs ago I was taking the bus and now I’m driving around in a Lexus :)
Hi..just bought s 2005 as well today. Lol 🌿💙
Can the cig lighter be used as a cell phone charger? Do you know by chance?
@@mr.branxy1753 its a cellphone charger not a cigarette lighter
Bro same here love this car
Aye yall im looking at a 05 one woith 119,00 miles It’s a must cop ?
Hi there! I’m looking for one just like this to buy. Are you looking to sell it?
Proud Lexus owner here and I can say that nothing beats the quality build and long term performance of my 05 ES330!!! I have only good things to say about the car and my friends
My 2005 Lexus ES330 just had it's FIRST major service at 157,000 miles (254,000 km) This included timing belt (its first) water pump (first), air filter (sixth), spark plugs (first) and full fluids (first). Up until this point, the only service I regularly performed was 15,000 mile oil (synthetic), had the brake pads changed twice and still have THE ORIGINAL brake rotors all around ! This service cost me $1200 and all the others were a total of about $1300 for a grand total of $2500 over 10 years using a local, master mechanic and NOT the Lexus dealership. This means a total of $250 yearly and It still drives JUST LIKE NEW ! I am amazed. 90 mph at 3000 rpm feels like 50 mph in a Ford...
umaxen01 thanks for the update!!
Even in 2018 these years still shine.
umaxen01 - Why you gotta fire shots at Ford..?
Superbird its prob the best reliable car money can buy I think they look like a comet symbol classy car I own a volvo and hate it!!!
what does "full fluid" mean? flush the radiator?
Just bought one yesterday 05 with 167k miles black on black and the ride is so smooth.
I literally just bought this same exact car today! Except mine has tan leather. Same mileage and everything, and love it so far!! Rides like a dream.
I just bought a pearl white 05 a couple days ago 140k drives excellent
It rides exactly like my 97 Camry and all the interior is the same except for the fake wood
For how much like $4k
Really? I thought besides the engine and transmission all materials are less plastic and higher grade.
Though dad had lots of US cars, he switched to the new LS400 in the '80's (he loved it, then totaled it in a snow/roll-over accident), then bought an early nineties ES250, which he also loved. After losing everything to medical, my wife and I have been driving beaters for the past 5 years, and hers (with 212k miles) finally died an ugly blown head gasket/head warpage death. We considered newer imports (Hyundai Sonata, VW Passat, Nissan Maxima), and I found this '06 ES330, with navigation, 6+1 CD player, all the bells & whistles in this video, and only 46,000 miles for $12,700. It's now 10 years old, but just one beautiful car! Alternator went out within the first week, but with simple hand tools, I changed it in an hour with CZcams help for $107, and had to tighten the front/right strut nut with an impact wrench, but everything now works perfectly, fitment of doors are that of a new car, I was more than happy to exchange the slightly lower gas mileage for the 200+ horse power v-6 (steep grades/passing no longer an issue), so though it has been compared as being too close to the Camry, Lexus broke from Toyota's design/manufacturing plants (finally their own entity) just before this car was redesigned, and the Lexus plants have far higher standards in regard to fitment, paint, and their assembly techs are far more scrutinized than those of Toyota's, meaning this is one of the most reliable pieces of rolling luxury on the road. Made the mistake of driving our ES330 before even looking at the similarly priced (5 years newer) Sonata, and one year newer Accord, but the interior approaches breathtaking. The maple woodwork on the dash, steering wheel, and all doors oozes luxury, and not only heated, but cooled seats, and automatic rain sensors, which automatically detect rain, the amount of rain, and adjust accordingly, rear window electronic shade, steering wheel mounted Bluetooth and audio controls, dual zone air conditioning settings, let alone the Nav system, which worked beautifully on our now weekly joy rides? I'm age 59, have owned lots of new and used cars & trucks, and this car (unlike my old Porsche), doesn't have the *to be expected* BS electrical issues Beemer's & Porsche's have. Benz's have the same, stupid problems, yet the Japanese actually took the time to design around such potential problems, so I don't have to worry about that kind of BS, or at least until I hit 300k miles, and if I do, at least the Lexus 3.3 liter engine doesn't have to be pulled for me to perform most necessary maintenance issues, like timing belts, or bolt-on parts. Loving this car more and more every day!!!
Scott Douglas MacLachlan haha I am 18 and have owned mine for 2 years now. I bought it with 180,000 miles and now it has 230,000. It is BEST car for long trips to Vegas and San Diego’s and Bay Area. I have every option like yours, and it’s just unbelievable good car, I only payed $5,000 for mine and it’s just beautiful immaculate condition everything works flawlessly
@@805NAVE I'm looking at buying one for $6,500 with 149,000 miles on it, is that considered a good deal? I've never looked at luxury cars before so I have no idea. My other options are a Hyundai Santa Fe and a Honda Civic but this car seems to have higher reviews.
Hello Mr scott
@@nesskeaton no 5,000 or 5,500 is better
My 2003 Lexus ES has been my most reliable car ever and I've had many trucks cars over the years. It rides and drives very nice.
The interior actually looks better in this generation ES than the es350 at least the earlier es350s
Definitely agree. I was just comparing them on Autotrader. Love the exterior of the ES350 but the interior is blah.
I thought the same thing, I was looking at the es350 as a possible next car but man the interior is so bare looking, wish I could have that exterior with this interior
kgisabeast Exactly. The 97-01 ES300 had a nice exterior and nice (at the time) interior. The 02-06 ES300/330 had the nice interior but blah exterior.
If you could combined the ES330 interior with the ES350 exterior...seems like the rightful replacement to the 97-01 ES300 as it would have a slightly squarish, masculine exterior and an improved, opulent interior.
I ended up getting an 08 GS460, like the interior a lot more than the es350
"And then he abruptly AWOKE from a deep slumber !" You WISH you had a GS460...
May not be exciting, but you are always very informative in all the vids you post with lots of detail. I greatly appreciate them.
So excited to get this tomorrow morning! Imagine this car but a smooth SEXY maroon wine red exterior. Or maybe it’s horrible and I change the color but so excited! First car 70k miles on it for $7k(used clean title). Nice first car hopefully the gas doesn’t kill my wallet too much
Those Lexus can run forever,i had es330 peddle blue rare color..
The engine in ES330 and ES350 is so quiet after initial warm up that with slight outside ambient wind noise of 5 mph, you can't hear the engine idling at 15 feet away. I also often times restarted my running engine while seated in my car getting ready to drive somewhere...
Such a beautiful car
I don't like the exterior...
Yosef Why not?
confused on my comment. : / actually pretty nice...
Yosef Lol
Aside from the current and upcoming Lexus GS350, this is one of my favorite Lexus models. My dad also has a 2009 ES350 which I think is really nice too. Glad to see a full review of the ES330!
Proud Lexus owner here and I can say that nothing beats the quality build and long term performance of my ES330!!!
10 people that dislike this drives a Hyundai or just simply hate the fact that Lexus is classy!
BMW lovers!
They all bought and scrapped their bmws while this car is still running strong somewhere in the world... Ought to see if I can spot the ViN and do a lookup to see if it is in fact still going strong.
Bro. Thanks so much for your review. I enjoyed it so much. You are a great reviewer. Keep it up. From Nigeria
I’m considering purchasing the same model. The comments are awesome. Great video! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Same man. Though I doubt they have any under 5 k
These Lexuses look a lot better from the outside than the bogus Lexus ESes that we have now.
And that's the truth👌
love the car/..Lexus, Acura, are the best. Both are Japanese ! Toyota and Honda :D
Bruh Acura Is Honda and toyota is Lexus.
I love this car. I've been driving one for a few months that I'm technically borrowing due to the fact that I had to scrap my Nissan. This car has the best sound system ever. It has 208,000 miles on it and just keeps going. Runs like a dream. The worst part about the car is the gas mileage - it sucks on this car.
What mileage were you getting? I get about 28MPG city/hwy and if I drive hwy conservativly, 58 to 60 mph I get just a hair over 33mpg, that is pretty good for a V6 with the get up and go this car has.
the 2002-2006 Lexus ES/ Toyota Windom (Japan) was assembled in
Kyūshū, Japan
What a beautiful Lexus! Great vid as always Kyle!
its a cool feature i didnt know that it has the rear sunshade
I'm picking one up tomorrow 05 ES330 I'M EXCITED
I’d love to own one
just bought one yesterday with 49,166 miles...I'm fuggin login this car man....the undercarriage is still immaculate
you're so lucky to get one at such low mileage. care to say how much you paid for it?
@@socalbenny4728 9k
I just bought a 2004 Lexus es330 75000 miles a few days ago and it is amazing!! No comparison to my old ford focus.
Sold my mustang convertible for this car seeing very nice reviews very very EXCITED LEGGOOOOO BABYY
Hey Kyle, when i was young, i'd see these cars EVERYWHERE, i really liked them, they looked much nicer then other luxury cars in my opinion, what do u think, Kyle? (PLEASE REPSOND)
So many people copied you on youtube but i know you are the first. Hope you see this bro
My mom and my pop pop in New Year’s Eve got a 2005 Lexus rx330 0 down and it’s like a light blueish green very nice and good car only got 130,000 miles runs good
225hp. Add on a new exhaust, and a new filter, and possibility a upgraded chip and you have about 250hp. Or you can do a 3.5 Toyota V6 swap and then add on the mods, so it's about 295hp. I want one so bad!!!
bmwmsport11 yeah this one 3.3 V6, if you go for the next gen up 2007 or newer ES350 you get the 3.5 V6 standard. I think it has at least 250-270 hp
These cars are far from being exciting but they're amazing value when bought used. Comfy, quiet and reliable. This is the kind of car you want on a long trip.
Just got one , 115k miles and it runs like its straight out the shop.
This comment is two years after yours, but May I ask how much you paid?? They are selling me one at $5,500 with 122k miles. Not sure if it’s a good deal
Just got my second 05 ES330. My first has almost 300k miles on it, still runs.. I promise this is a good investment...
what a beautiful sounding engine!
Kyle Are you going to do night time cold starts again this year? I love seeing the cars at night.
6:15 song name?
Heart and Soul - Huey Lewis and The News
Used to have a 02' model, loved it! Sadly its a front wheel drive car
the engine on the 2002-2006 Lexus ES/ Toyota Windom (Japan)
Engine
3.0 L 1MZ-FE V6
3.3 L 3MZ-FE V6
My 18 year old cousin has an '05 Lexus ES330. 103,000 miles without a problem.
Why does my 05 es 330 have cooled seats and adjustable brake and gas pedal switch ? I never see the brake or gas pedal switch on other peoples cars.
Very nice, padding everywhere, great quality.
I like these short takes Kyle you always upload a bunch of them at once! :D
Thanks Kyle, This looks like a Great Tx car!!
Papa Stone That it is. This thing runs 90 mph at 3000 rpm. Kids play. The newer ES 350 runs about 105 at 3000 rpm...
Identical to the 2006 I am driving. Thanks for posting.
love the music though...
Wow, that's a record! 3 videos in less than an hour. :)
how is this for a first car?
Dan Lins this would be considered a great car! A v6 Is perfect for a kid, good gas mileage. And it is technically a luxury vechile
it would also be your last car
@@shapes9495 why?
JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE cause they dont die
It won't be if you decide to trade it in or if you get into an accident and it becomes totaled.
@OMFGitsJon Yes! This is my first car and I absolutely love it! Im never getting rid of it
Jeff Blum still got it?
nice but u should also do 2000 or 2001 es 300 too.. :)
nice wood trim, love that color. btw, thanks kyle, nice video as always
It seems like Toyota and Lexus are the only cars to make that little beep when you unlock it! I like that! haha I wish it was on more cars!
Im in need of this car soo badly how can i get me one??
1:03
I'm gonna buy a Lexus someday! I Love Lexus'! My grandma drives a 92 SC 300, my grandpa used to drive a 92' LS 400 & my uncle drives a LX 470 (Don't know what year it is). My grandma's gonna finally sell her SC 300 & buy the 2012 ES 350.
Update: I finally bought my first Lexus! A 2017 IS200t F-Sport. Gray exterior with red leather interior! Bought it 4 months ago for only $27,500 in great shape with only 15k miles! Car's very smooth & has been excellent so far! Huge improvement overall over my previous 2015 Toyota Camry XSE V6.
Update #2: Just traded in my IS & bought a 2016 GS350 F-Sport (white exterior, red interior) three months ago & is even better! Had 41k miles when I bought it & paid $28k. Still has the original window sticker & was originally priced at $58k when it was new. Has over 30 more features than what my IS had.
@ShawnDon 97 Yes I agree. I bought my GS a year ago tomorrow & still impresses me. My friend has a ‘99 GS400.
My mom has a silver one and its interior is dark gray and overcast (cloudy sky) gray... she was bought used at lexus of mobile for $11,950. R.I.P to my mom's Lexus RX330 (2005-2014). Totaled in an accident...
bet whoever bought it loved it
👍👍good job on the review
Those seats sound ridiculously soft and comfy every time you move lol.
What are the little pull tabs in the rear behind the seats near the back window?
I love these videos
This car is more than a rebadged Camry. Go drive one. I personally dislike the exterior, but the quality of the interior, and thickness/softness of the leather and materials is out of this world and make the Camry interior seem like it was put together by Fisher Price
Question how do u change the fahrenheit to celsius in the car ?
Im trying know more of that PG Chicken and Biscuit in the background though.... lol lol lol
@ 0:25 is that a 2010 or 2011 Camry? I have the same exact one in the super white and mines a LE trim and has 179,600 miles. And it’s a 2010. With the 2.5L SMPI dual vvt-i and a 6 speed auto. Makes 169 hp.
LOVE this car!!
Man I love the ES-330 & ES-300 I currently have a 2005 Rav4 S. Hoping to get one next year As a second vehicle so that way my Mom can get my Rav4 to replace her POS 2006 Ford Taurus that way she has a reliable car and have a nice reliable luxury car myself.
Proud Lexus owner here and I can say that nothing beats the quality build and long term performance of my 05 ES330!!!
Awesome review...
What can make Lexus 330 not moving well
This ia not a camry. It has different suspension and engine mapping is mad to imitate a ls400's 8 cylinder giving it smoothhh acceleration !
you said regular unleaded gas. the manual says use premium for better performance but if can't find premium use. i would like to use 87 because big difference in price.
have you found regular still has good performance?
Just as good. I've driven my ES330 exclusively on 87 (cheapest gas) for 12 years. No issues 95% of all people use only 87 octane...
Umaxen 00 Don't know if this is comparable but I have a 93' Camry V6 and anytime I put gas less than 93 in my car runs like shit
Yea, but your car is 25 years old! You can expect that from ANY 25 year old car. Over the past months, I have noticed a slight valve ping under heavy load, but normal driving is 100% with the cheaper fuel. I suspect as I get another 25K miles on it, I will have to switch to better fuel. At that point, the car will have 250,000 miles...
Eh, I bought it from a friend and he said he's always used 93 so I don't want to mess anything up by going lower
Buy 3 gallons of 87 and see what happens. Like I said, I have driven my ES330 with 87 for 12 years and it's fine...
Kyle i remember you mentioned on your Facebook page that your 2007 ES350 had some problems and the customer service was bad but what about your 2002 ES300 that got totaled? Was it a dependable car during the time that you had it?
cute Lexus
kyle.... please please please do a 2006-2009 infiniti m35 i know u have one on your Channel but it was one of the old videos, so please do another one in wheat interior if u can
great video good detail
A lot of the stuff looks exactly like a camry. The cruise control, headlight/turn signal controls are exactly the same.
Ok obviously Toyota makes Lexus so what are you implying
And the rest of it looks FANTASTIC for the price (new and pre-owned price). Better than any other car for the money.
that's because Toyota made lexus
Looks like I will be saving money since Camrys rarely breakdown.
Just curious how much is it??
kyle! try and do some big trucks like tratcor trailers with a cummins in it or something
6:10 Omg, that sound quality!
I mean it sounded pretty clear considering it was recorded on a camera and then played through speakers on a computer/phone
Just curious, what motivates you to make videos of cars like these? I only like high end cars and never would even think of recording a Lexus ES! :P
I would say what motivates him is the chance to review a reliable and affordable luxury car that will not become an endless money pit like mercedes bmw porsche lambo, etc....
Holy smokes this is a throwback! Funnily enough, over the last 8 years I've met and talked with Kyle on a few occasions and can totally understand his motivation to review cars like these--cheers!
what is your car btw ?
I saw an RX about 2 minutes in the video. Can you do a video on that, I'm interested!
Wonder what the asking price was for that car
I want this ride!!!
Nice ride! Good car too.
price?
will you please do a video on the 2011 Toyota Rav4 or 2011 Honda CRV
if i need this car in dubai how much cost me in dharems
I love how in this case, the speaker in the camera was hindering the true quality of the sound system
the GS is targeted for younger generations, ES is targeted for much older generations
My Mom used have a 2003 Lexus ES300
Dear Kyle,
PLEASE DO A REVIEW OF THAT COROLLA.... I CANT SEEM TO GET MY EYES OFF OF THAT...
Hope this helps.
Your Lexus sounds weird idk it seems to have a loud idle for this model
birds eye maple wood is hideous mine has the red and you remember the hazards but not the rain sensing windshield wipers?
@!kyle did this es have nav option or no, i love this style of lexas
Reminds me of your graduation present wreck
I am buying this car
Gud music!...A friend bought a 2005 today with 51k miles.
tigerbalm Wow. That’s really low mileage for an 05 lol
What song was it?
Yes I have seen all the videos with the Grand Cherokee . Can you find a Grand Cherokee LIMITED 4.0 2000 because I had one and it miss me please do it for me as a favour
@Maserati7200 what, because this car is so incredibly interesting and different?
ال ٤ عداد دى بقت ستاندرد اوى يا سابكايل
Looks very comfy and looks like Lexus was not cost cutting
