Hi guys - this is just a curiosity thing. Has anybody driven both an ES300 and an ES330? I was wondering if the extra .3 liter displacement provided any extra "oomph" over the 3.0. I am guessing the 350's have some cojones.

I do like my 300 but would like a little more power some day.

Ive never driven the 330, but my father did on many occassions. We both feel like the 300 ('02-03) was a little underpowered; he told me the 330 felt just right and the extra power was really noticeable on the 4ES.

I have a 330. Its got the power, but you really gotta step on it to make the lazy tranny downshift.

I test drove a 2012 350. Boy that thing has some neck snapping, wheel spinning power right off the starting line!

Either way, IMO its not worth it to upgrade to the same generation car (4ES) for just 25 extra horses.

Yeah I'll stick with mine for now. I really like the car, and the ES (to me) isn't really a racing car. I love it for what it is -- a smooth cruiser. I'm sure with the right mods any car can be quick...but I'm OK with it for now.

And yeah I'm sure the newer 350s fly. They've got close to 300HP don't they? Not exactly in my price range though.
