One Lap in the Lexus ES330 on The Race Track! 

I have an 06 ES330 essentially same body style and interior , I had no clue it would beep at you if you push it that hard 🤣🤣 and I’m 19 years old and I drive it like a grandma lol! 235k miles and it drives like a cloud still so buttery smooth, I do love these.

I have a 2006 ES330 with 75000 miles on it. It was my neighbor’s Florida car. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of a new car, but I love it. The wood grain trim is easier on my eye than all the chrome used today. It’s been a great car for me.

That is my EXACT CAR and I love it! Most reliable and comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. Fun to see it on a track😁

Why do you think the wood grain is horrible. That's some beautiful stuff and way easier to look at than most new cars

A reasonable showing for an old-school luxury car (i.e. not sporty at all). A suspension tuneup would have probably helped since at 150k the Struts are definitely worn out, control arm bushings are probably split, etc. Still, a good showing overall. I appreciate that you are putting a variety of vehicles around the track, it helps to give context and comparison to the lap times.

Just bought one off the lot for $9K with 80K original miles. It was a one owner car with no major repairs or accidents. Flawless paint and interior. I believe on it's second pair of tires lol. A really nice car!

The beeping means VSC has your back. ❤️

I have a 04 es330, just bought it a few days ago. I have to say it's a great car all around. Picks up speed well, very comfortable and smooth ride. The wood grain steering well and curtains gives it a great feel

Thank you I haven’t really seen much on the ES330 great to see

Wood grain is the reason I bought this car 🤷🏽‍♂️. It looks classy

100% in that era they had a yaw control you couldn't turn off that would abs tract the rear wheels via breaks to bring it back to center. I learned that on a loaner in a cul-de-sac

Take off that rear fin and get the chrome rims and it really transforms the look of the ES330, looks way more like a luxury car. The rear end have a nice shape to it, the fin ruins it. 150K on this car is like 40K on most other cars.

I have a 2006 love driving it I find it very fun especially down dirt roads try rallying one 😃

I have a 2002 ES300 with 178k miles. 2nd owner bought 2 years ago w 160k miles. I get the idea and fun of this video but I can’t imagine pushing my car like this. Yes it’s solid and build quality is unparalleled. I have a 1999 C5 FRC for this spirited driving!

I love lexus smell Also like my Lexus and I like the chrome piece half circle wrapped around the taillights to make it unique.

Nice I want to pick one up now haha sleeper in the making

Here's a quote from need for speed (I believe) "is not what you drive is how you drive"

Dang that one has the spoiler ! Haha

Mines it’s a es300 2003 and idk why but it saved my life it started beeping and it Strarted breaking for it’s self

I have an '03, and it still has that unique scent lol

Brand new subscriber here! Great content!

Dude hahaha this was hilarious, subscribed

I aways love lexus especially with the es and the ls also the is and the gs all the way huge fan I wish I had all lexus brand on a daily drive choice. My mom had a es250 I miss it with the factory gold bye wheels also I currently own a 2003 es 300 eventually I'm going to restore it as a legendary vehicle of the past of the lexus 4th generation.

Oh man, this was entertaining af lmao

Crazy how this channel hasn't done aswell as I thought it would. Maybe do some more new gas cars, it's good content

Taking this car and putting it on the race track, is like taking a responsible dad who plays flag football on the weekend and putting him in the NFL

I thought this was gonna be cringe but curiosity rewarded me with an enjoyable watch. Thx for sharing

Good video. What would have made it great is if you had a little cam to show the MPH and RPMs in real-time whilst you were driving.

I love my 330

Got the exact one right now wit 100k and the mark Levi

Kyle Connor showing up was a welcome surprise!

Gives me nostalgia of the time I took my 02 Avalon to Road America 😂

I have an 03 ES 300, and I drive it like a track car. Even then, it's still comfortable at it's peak!

This was a hoot! I have an 07 ES350, 161K miles, due for struts and it's a smooth and comfy boat. Pulls like a freight train when I need it to but it surprises me sometimes in the corners, must be the VSC. Lexus for life!

Is this car still available?

I am honestly surprised you were able to hustle this thing as much as you did. This era of Lexus is known for having non-defeatable and very intrusive electronic nannies. Makes sense when the target demographic for this car is 79 year old Gertrude who just drives to church and back once a week. That poor PCM probably thought Gertrude had a stroke on the way to Sunday service.

One blunt solves that lexus smell

its a really nice v6 engine in the es330

Omg I just bought a Lexus es330 110k miles I’m so excited 😆

😭I just got one from my grandma with 270k miles on it and I will say it looks and probably preforms like that. Not ideal, but hey it was free and it just works. I have a lighter grain. It’s not as red, I like it though I like the wood.

Was it VSC this year or VDI/M?

Give it some ksports, sticky tires and a swaybar

Any for sale

My es 300 has the exact mileage.

wonder what does this guy does for a living

I want to see Lexus sc430

How can you talk shit about the wood? That is my favorite part of this car.

Having the 2GR instead would make it feel 10x faster

Danm b careful!! I have the exact car. it’s a cushy floaty boat. You do not want to push it hard into corners. mines in excellent condition. The suspension isn’t designed to whip through corners! Like I said it’s a big boaty feel

Why does the steering wheel look different to mine? I thought that was the ES300 wheel.

Is that beeping from the ABS? Just curious

I have one of those and I have fun in it lol

cool

I thought I would miss my 07 ES that I traded for my Model 3. Nope. Tesla could learn something about fit and finish from this car, though.

Leaving the transmission in drive would have been a better lap. Marginally, the car is well aware of what gear to use for peak performance. They have nothing past 6000rpm (atleast on a 3.3L) Holding it right up to the red line (90mph), basically is pointless. But it was a decent watch regardless. Notes: Should have left it in drive Should have used an example that was well maintained, warped rotors, overdue oil change most likely, worn tires, etc (owners lack of maintenance) Obviously this isn't your fault 😁

That's not what that car is made for. But its a great car.

i just bought a 04 lexus 63,000 miles and she drives like a champ!!!

This is how a Lexus would drive if it were used as a getaway car lmao.

I bought seem car 15.000 libyan dinars From where you bring this price 31000 dollars

I like my car, but do wish it had some better pep and handling.

These cars are pigs and destroy front tires. Bet the outer tread of the front left tire was TOAST after that lap.

she’s angry being forced in second gear

Poor lexi she was not designed for that.

My stepdad had a 2004 es 330 was a pretty good car until at 228,000 miles it developed an oil leak and we sold it

😂the beeping doesn't help

Who's poor nice old ES got beat up in the making of this video.

Bruh 🤣🤣💀

Your car had the 16" wheels. The factory 17" would have helped you out mucho. This car does 90 mph at 3000 rpm...

DISLIKE for driving a nice LEXUS like this in a bad way like what you just did !!!!

Terrible to shift your auto trans like that.
